Remember how the main stream media glowingly raved about how the Obama team was being made up of outstandingly brilliant people?Adding credence to claims of a Democrat culture of corruption, two weeks later we learned of:
Bill Richardson, Obama’s first choice for Secretary of Commerce, had to be scrubbed as a candidate because of ‘pay to play’ corruption in his recent background.
Timothy Geitner, who was confirmed as Secretary of the Treasury, was found to be a tax cheat (it was more than just a careless oversight because his tax software told him the tax return had an error but he filed it anyway). As Treasury Secretary, Geitner will be in charge of the Internal Revenue Service, which means he will be the fox guarding the hen house.
Eric Holder, Obama’s choice for Attorney General, is clouded by his complicity in the very controversial pardon or Marc Rich.
William Lynn is Obama’s choice for deputy Defense secretary. This appointment would present a conflict of interest because Lynn was a senior executive for defense contractor Raytheon.
And then there is the case of Tom Daschle, Obama’s choice for the position as head of Health and Human Services Department. Daschle will be the architect of Socialized Medicine for the administration. Former South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle’s tax cheating amounted to over $100,000.
Daschle suddenly paid $140,000 in back taxes and interest in to “clear” his name so he could be appointed.
