GOP: Lew will have to answer for White House tactics
Senate GOP aides say Lew will be called to account for the White House’s tactics when he comes before the Senate Finance Committee.
“He’s coming to the Senate from the chief of staff’s role in the White House and this White House just points the finger at everyone else. It refuses to take the blame for the bad things that are happening. This is a White House that is overly political and not really interested in alternate points of view,” said a senior Senate GOP aide.
“He’s going to be facing a lot of questions related to his involvement in the White House. He’s the top dog over there. He’s responsible for the direction,” the aide said. “It’s a shame the president would send along such a divisive figure.”

Leftists, defend this, you hypocrites. May hypocrisy make you combust, spontaneously, every time you practice it.
YOU are owned by Wall Street.

Given the current Tres Sec, maybe we should start with the basic questions like, “have you paid your taxes?”

By the way, did anyone notice Eric Holder is going to do a second term?
I told you so. No way Obama or Holder can survive the second term without covering for each other.
Which raises the question — isn’t Issa supposed to get a judgement on those F&F documents someday?

Seriously, is the GOP going to whine about every Obama pick? The guy is a frigging socialist he is going to appoint people who think like him. Want to appoint conservatives, win elections.
We should pick our battles wisely, the most important battle for me is the coming debt ceiling. I couldn’t care less about the Marxists Obama is want to surround himself with. The GOP must demand spending cuts or be ready o shut the whole thing down.
