This was Obama’s 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 Obama’s 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 Obama’s transition team while investigating Geithner’s background, the official said.

This is at least the third thread on this proving, once again, how quickly the "new media" takes the freaking scraps of bait hand fed to them by the majors.

Tim Giethner's is a non-issue being made into an issue... for what purpose?

This is the change we can expect.

Marxists always govern from a "I know best and you do as I say, not as I do...or else", perspective.

Chief Justice Roberts of the United States Supreme Court:

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.

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.
