January 14, 200917 yr Author You really have to question the vetting process. Actually, it was the vetting process that found some of these problems, including the fact that he just ignored the IRS letters concerning his liability. Obviously, the Dems feel they have the strength to ram him through despite this small glitch in his integrity. It's not that the vetting process didn't work - just that the information they found wasn't enough to offset the Dems' arrogance.
January 14, 200917 yr Maybe he is a friend of Joe the Plumber. They would have the non-payment of taxes as common ground.

January 15, 200917 yr Joe the Plumber will never be in charge of TARP or the IRS. You beat me to that one.
January 15, 200917 yr Joe the Plumber will never be in charge of TARP or the IRS. It was a joke, Hoot...thus the .
January 15, 200917 yr I think all elected officials should be sent to the vet to be neutered. That sure would have made a lap dog out of Bill Clinton !
January 15, 200917 yr Funny stuff. I'm sure glad I'm not in politics as I couldn't stand the microscope. You are right on about this! Who doesn't have something in their past that they wouldn't want the world to know? Is cheating on their taxes worse than politicians cheating on their wives?
January 15, 200917 yr Author You are right on about this! Who doesn't have something in their past that they wouldn't want the world to know? Is cheating on their taxes worse than politicians cheating on their wives? From a morality/ethical standpoint, no. From an employment standpoint, yes. Knowingly cheating on your taxes from the government which employs him a serious issue. Not to mention ridiculously hypocritical to have him in charge of the same agency (IRS) against whom he perpetrated his deceit/ambivalence to following the rules.

Obama said just yesterday that "we were aware of this issue prior to his appointment , and it was clearly an honest oversite". You know he wouldn't make a statement like that if it wasn't true !:thumb:

It stopped being an "honest mistake" in 2006 when he ignored the IRS letters about his liabiity. Sorry, but if you want to work at the highest levels of government, you need to conduct yourself on a higher moral and ethical plane. Geithner failed this test and is not qualified to be in charge of the same department whose laws he ignored.
