Timothy Geithner, President-elect Barack Obama’s choice to run the Treasury Department, neglected to pay self employment taxes for three years but according to Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus “These errors were not intentional; they were honest mistakes.” If you or I claimed we made “honest mistakes” would we be so quickly forgiven?
Bill Clinton’s Global Initiative is most likely a very worthwhile cause. If your company or country was giving money to this charity and the secretary of state is Mr. Clinton’s wife wouldn’t you be looking for a favor? No! No! says Mrs. Clinton, those contributions will not effect my behavior. Is this a believable scenario?
The Eric Holder hearing should be interesting. He is the man who recommended the Marc Rich pardon to President Bill Clinton. Based upon the televised hearings the Republicans are not willing to stand up to these utterly phony hearings.
Barack Obama’s appointments will probably all receive “consent.” What happened to “change you can believe in?” Well it was an “honest mistake” or perhaps we all had the “audacity” to believe things would be different.
