Ok, all together now: new cabinet member = another tax cheat.
The total thus far: 5 tax cheats + 5 cabinet defectors = barry’s superior judgment. Judd Gregg sure was an inspired choice. Played barry like a veteran politician. Wonder how many of his fellow Republicans bought him a drink. Boehner sure looks like he enjoys more than a few mint juleps. He was totally toasty when he talked about the contraceptives and the stimulus package.
And then then there’s Geithner’s four or so defectors - lost count. Maybe barry fired some of them, too. With Geithners approval and confidence ratings, I can see why no one wants to work for him. They probably were waiting for him to be fired - he doesn’t look like a resigner.
And what’s up with Larry Summers? The man looks medically ill. Seriously. I mean in all seriousness - he looks gray and puffy. What kind of diet does he follow?
Ok. Anyway. Gov Kathleen Sebelius his second choice for Health and Human Services - his first being Tom Daschle ($140K). She amended three years of tax returns and ended up paying $7,040 in back taxes and $878 in interest.
Three “unintentional errors”:
- Unable to find documentation for 3/49 charitable contributions (needed when > $250)
- Insufficient documentation for business expenses
- Sold house for less than what they owed on the mortgage and continued to deduct interest from the payments.
What did Howard Dean have going on that he was appointed? Engineering barry’s coronation?
Have to say they are all different “mistakes” and “errors”. How many other people in barry’s administration owe back taxes? He claims transparency - he should allow and audit of all them and truly outrage the nation, especially after firing Chrysler’s GM and not Bank of America’s or Citigroup’s.
