It seems to me that usually Obama's first choice is wrong. This goes back to the campaign Obama said in a a democratic primary debate he would meet with leaders from terrorist sponsoring countries without Pre-conditions. He later changed his answer. In the Presidential compaign Obama first blamed Georgia for being invaded by Russia. It took Obama three attempts to figure out that the bigger county was bullying the smaller country. I think a first grader would've understood what was going on faster than Obama did. Apparently this hasn't changed with Obama's cabinet picks.
Ron Kirk- Obama's choice for trade representative owes $100,00 in back taxes. This is now the fourth nominee with tax problems. It appears he will be confirmed
Tom Daschel- failed to disclose $300,000 in past income. withdrew
Timothy Geithner- failed to pay $40,000 in payroll taxes. He is now our Treasury Secretary
Nancy Killfer- Obama's pick for Chief Performance officer had tax problems. withdrew
So it appears Obama will get half of his tax cheating cabinet picks confirmed. I think I've figured out why this administration is so set on raising taxes. It's because no one in the cabinet is going to pay them anyway.
If we combine those choices with a couple of Obama's other picks such as Bill Richardson and Judd Gregg I think a pattern starts to emerge. Richarson withdrew after it was discovered he was under federal investigation into how his political donors got a transportation contract. Gregg also withdrew after he realized Obama had no intention of listening to any of his ideas and just wanted to appear bipartisan.
It should be clear to anyone that our new President's instincts are not good. He has chosen four tax cheats and a man under federal investigation to serve in his cabinet so far. This doesn't even include other very partisan choices he has made to serve in his cabinet such as Kathleen Seblius to serve as Health and Human Services secretary and Leon Panetta to head up the CIA. These are not choices that bring the country together these are choices that tear it apart.

Wasn't it Joe Biden that said, "It is our patriotic duty to pay taxes."? When is Obama going to choose patriots as cabinet members?
ReplyDeleteWhat about choices of the Republican candidate who, I presume, you would have McCanister errr, Senator McCain make? Charles Black and Charles Keating readily come to mind, though you could make any choice from the high-level lobbyists, that he kept close by his side on his campaign staff. You can do much better than B.H.O. Go I say, run off the ten best appointments to make by comparison.
