barry tax cheat #5: Kathleen Sebelius

April 1, 2009

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.

So how many nominees of barry’s have quit?

(1-4) Governor Bill Richardson for Commerce Secretary:

Under federal investigation for pay-to-play like blago - donors for state jobs routed through his own charities. Unable to be cleared by the FBI for confirmation.

How was he going to be president? Why was he allowed to run? The DNC knew - so why was he allowed to run? To dilute the field in Iowa to give barry a chance for his bused in Chicagoans to win the caucus for him. Same thing as adulterer John Edwards…who has finally admitted it is his baby.

(2-3) Tom Daschle for Secretary of Health and Human Services:

$128K unpaid taxes, reportedly made $5.2M off the industry he would be charged to clean up. His wife is also a serious lobbyist.

(2-3) Nancy Killefer for first ever Chief Performance Officer :

$946.69 in unemployment-compensation taxes for her household help. At least there no illegal immigration problems like Tim Geithner’s.

(2-13) Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) for Commerce Secretary #2

"I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the census, there are irresolvable conflicts for me. Prior to accepting this post, we had discussed these and other potential differences, but unfortunately we did not adequately focus on these concerns. We are functioning from a different set of views on many critical items of policy."

(3-10) Charles Freeman for National Intelligence Council Chief:

CNN: The former Pentagon official and diplomat had faced criticism from both Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee over his lack of intelligence experience, and some prior headline-grabbing remarks, particularly with regard to Israel. He also drew controversy over a statement that he believed the Chinese government did not crack down quickly enough on pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananment [sic] Square in 1989.

And who sailed through no problem?

Yep. Madame Secretary Hillary Clinton

Another cabinet appointment withdraws: Nancy Killefer

February 3, 2009

Nancy Killefer barry's nominee for the first ever Chief Performance Officer (no confirmation) and Deputy Director for management at the Office of Management and Budget (requires confirmation) has withdrawn her name. She is third behind Tim Geithner and Tom Daschle as barry appointed tax evaders - though hers could actually be a simple mistake. Not so with the other two.

Killefer, 55, who works for consulting giant McKinsey & Co., was nominated on Jan 7th and was outed by the AP. In March 2005, she had a $946.69 tax lien placed on her home for failure to pay unemployment compensation tax on household help over a period of 18 months. She paid it in July. Nothing compared to $128K and $34K that went unpaid until after they accepted the nomination. One wonders if there was more to it because she waited so long to withdraw.

From Brietbart:

Killefer oversees McKinsey's management consulting for government clients. During 1997-2000 in the Clinton administration, Killefer was assistant Treasury secretary for management. As such she was the chief financial officer and chief operating officer for the Treasury and its 160,000 employees and led a modernization of its largest component, the Internal Revenue Service.

But for nearly a month, the administration had refused to answer how its choice to make government workers more efficient and more responsive had bungled her household payroll taxes.

And what about the Head of the IRS and former Head of the New York Federal Reserve bank being audited and still not rectifying his taxes?

Whatever - she did the honorable thing. The financial wizard can't even do his taxes and blames it on TurboTax. And he's going to save the economy? And Daschle made a reported $5.2 million off the industry he was supposed to clean up.

Where's this superior judgment?

Seems it expired in November 2002?

barry spokesman Tommy Vietor:

Nancy Killefer has decided to withdraw her nomination, and we accepted her withdrawal.

So how thorough was this 63-point questionnaire?
