Tax Cheat Geithner Hires Lobbyist as Chief of Staff

Now that US Treasury Secretary has become one of the most powerful positions in the world, it would be nice to have someone with integrity in the position. Instead we have tax cheat Timothy Geithner, who after promising to keep lobbyists' snouts out of the $700 billion TARP trough, promptly hired Goldman Sachs lobbyist Mark Patterson to serve as his Chief of Staff.

Goldman Sachs has already gobbled up at least $10 billion of the bailout loot. My guess is, that was only the appetizer.

Patterson isn't the only prominent lobbyist to find a comfy home in our new government. White House aide Cecilia Munoz lobbied just last year for the Hispanic answer to the Black Panthers, the National Council of La Raza ("the race"). Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has been lobbying for one of the most malignant cancers eating away at our society, the NEA.

Obama promised transparency — and the rot that characterizes his regime is admittedly transparent.

Somebody needs to wipe that smirk off Obama the Chimps face. If anything he should be hanging his head in shame at putting a tax cheat in charge of the IRS, let alone the lobbyist BS.

Biden is there too yucking it up, probably saying "Hey Big O, the Murkin people are a bunch of sucker, eh homie?"

Is it me or in this picture is the "One" smelling his rosy gas? The look on his face.

There is no surprise. It is like pounding a 3 inch nail into a two inch board-it goes through. When you put looters in charge of the government, they will loot. A properous society could always afford those who ripped off the system. It is like a healthy body supporting a few parasites. But no society can afford or survive the ripoff artists being in charge or the parasites being bigger than the host.

Wealth is the product of material things from raw materials. It can be ore, refined metals, food, manufactured goods, drugs, or physical structures. It is not lawsuits, regulations, government employees, or guys sitting around tables eating doughnuts and screwing the people who produce wealth and actually planning to make the creation of wealth illegal. And wealth sure isn't created by giving money to somebody to consume when they have not produced and never will produce anything.

So here you have one parasite who has never produced anything in his life promoting and celebrating the appointment of another parasite who is setting about establishing his own parasite kingdom.

The main stimulus I feel is an urge to vomit.

A crook hiring a crook - they're Democrats, it's to be expected. How about another BS flowery speech about corruption from SanFran Nan...

Let's see... I owed back-taxes for 10 years and compromised my debt with IRS (settled) for about 2 cents/dollar. I also filed bankruptcy during that time, and I had a business failure.
Can I now apply for a Democrat cabinet position? I'll include those items in my resume.

Don't think so small. Dye your hair pink. Get a transvestite lover with a habit of wearing dog collars with spikes and leather pants, and screaming nonsensical obsenities with no apparent reason.

Join some Muslim terrorist group and get arrested for spray painting racist remarks on national monuments. Then run for president.

Remember, THE COUNTRY IS READY FOR CHANGE!!

The Rangel Rule...for or against? I think that will be my next letter to my RINO congresscritter.

Apperently OBAMA THE STUPID trusts the fox to guard the henhouse

Calling O a chimp is just racism.

I'm not happy about lobbyists gaining such prominence in the new administration, but then he did make new executive orders forbidding them from being employed in conflict of interest for the duration of his presidency.

Try and tell me GWB did anything that strong against lobbyist conflict of interest. We are still waiting to hear what the energy commission talked about. Not transparent at all, in fact both GWB and Cheney seem worse in comparison to Obama so far.
