Only in Obama’s America:
Senate Confirms Geithner as Treasury Secretary
The Senate on Monday confirmed New York Federal Reserve Bank chief Timothy Geithner as President Barack Obama’s treasury secretary despite tax problems that might have sunk his nomination in less desperate times.
The man blatantly cheated on his taxes, and now he runs the IRS. I guess that makes him qualified, an expert tax cheat watching over your 1040′s.

Does it frighten anyone else when Robert “Sheets” Byrd is on the side of right?

I wish I could get the Tax Holiday that Mr. Geithner took. I was once in a small business and paying the self-employment tax was a huge burden and not one that we could “forget.”
Props to Sen. Feingold for voting No to the tax cheat.
In other news, on March 29, 2009, “Reverend†Dr. Jeremiah Wright is expected to be a guest pastor at Grace United Church of Christ on Sherman Blvd in Milwaukee. My family certainly hopes to attend this entertaining event. Anyone else care to join us? God (blank) America if you don’t!

“Props to Sen. Feingold for voting No to the tax cheat.”
Let’s not congratulate him too much. He never would have voted against if his vote were needed to confirm Geithner. His “Maverick” votes only come when whatever his party needs to pass has a safe margin.
This Feingold’s maverick image is very carefully crafted and as phony as a three dollar bill.

Guess all the tax cheats can rest easy now thanks to this appointment.

Marvin, of course I know that Feingold cast his vote knowing that it wouldn’t affect the outcome. That doesn’t mean I can’t recognize his vote. When a politician votes in my favor, I will praise that politician. When a politician votes the wrong way, I will criticize that politician. That’s how it should work.
When Feingold goes back to stifling free speech, voting against bills that keep us safe from terrorism, and criticizing Republicans for filibustering on judges even though he practically invented the judicial filibuster, I will go back to ridiculing him.

Well we did hire a failed businessman to run the country…

Paul, my point was not that the vote should not be recognized. Good for Feingold to vote correctly (for likely the only time this year). Rather, my meaning was this: Let’s see the vote for what it is - a convenience vote to bolster a phony image - and nothing more.
