Ditto. They obviously have some sort of a “life” outside of work and want to keep it that way. You sign up with Obama, you sign your life away. Kind of like..... well... you know.

How did they not know about the Inspector’s report to begin with?

And btw, would YOU want to be associated with him?

Didn’t think so.

Why do I get the distinct impression BHO himself would not pass the scrutiny he is asking his followers to measure up to.

Birds of a feather flock together and Barack earmarked $300,000 a year to himself via his wife.

Perhaps he can identify with them? I am certain Rezko & Blago would concur.

"But the wheels on the slick deal began to squeak when the foundation’s accountant “discovered accounting irregularities and a potential embezzlement of funds” in a mid-2004 audit of the EPA grants."

"..At this moment, the EPA is hopelessly politicized. In the wake of Carol Browner, it is probably better to shut it down and start over. What we need is a new organization much closer to the FDA. We need an organization that will be ruthless about acquiring verifiable results, that will fund identical research projects to more than one group, and that will make everybody in this field get honest fast." ~ Michael Crichton, September 15, 2003 Environmentalism as Religion

Well, we seem to screen our bureaucrats better than our politicians. We don’t even know for sure POTUS is consitutionally qualified for his office and we certainly know he is intellectually unqualified.

No problem - I have learned that many folks are more concerned with languange than content.

Sort of like killing christ, because he had a bad accent.

Go with your own conscience.
