This was Obamas pick to save the economic rescue effort for the country and the guy cant even pay his freaking taxes but Obama saw him fit to run the Treasury Department. It continues to get better and better as the days go by.
President-elect Barack Obamas choice to run the Treasury Department and lead the economic rescue effort disclosed to senators Tuesday that he failed to pay $34,000 in taxes from 2001 to 2004, a last-minute complication in an otherwise smooth path to confirmation.
Timothy Geithner paid most of the past-due taxes days before Obama announced his nomination in November, an Obama transition official said. The unpaid taxes were discovered by Obamas transition team while investigating Geithners background, the official said.

Tim Giethner's is a non-issue being made into an issue... for what purpose?
This is the fourth Treasury nominee in trouble today, WOW!
Is it OK if we question his patriotism, Joe?
Marxists always govern from a "I know best and you do as I say, not as I do...or else", perspective.
Barack 0bama: Corruption we can believe in.
1. Just wondering about his oath: Did Chief Justice Roberts take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States?
2. That is, did Chief Justice Roberts take an oath to uphold and defend the ENTIRE Constitution, or just certain parts of it?
3. I ask the question above for this reason: Chief Justice Roberts seems to be avoiding the Obama presidential eligibility mess as if he was trying to avoid a plague.
4. My point is this: Chief Justice Roberts should uphold his oath by stepping in right now and demanding that Obama prove that he, Obama, is eligible to be President under the laws of the Constitution, an almost sacred document that Roberts swore to uphold and defend when he, Roberts, first took his position as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
But Obama is the ONLY virgin in the whorehouse! The media tells us so.
Yeah right, Newbie....blame Roberts....give me a break.....it’s TOO LATE.....blame OBAMA and the MEDIA!
ping
John Roberts . Yeah, he’s the culprit.”sarc.” welcome to free republic newbe.
For corruption I think “The Chosen One” will give the Klintoon term in office a real run for first place OR for sheer f-ups the Carter term in office. Either way the joe sixpack will get screwed.
