nothing short of unbelievable! The whole process is becoming nothing more than a joke – what with Clinton, Holder, Geithner. I guess we should expect more less from a country that puts gay priests in charge of biblical teachings, but enough is enough! It’s like a contest to see how many crooks, kooks, and abominations they can put into one administration. And it’s hardly even worth mentioning anymore that if one of George Bush’s appointees had done anything like this… Can you say “double standard”?

from the Obamassiah – I’ll get to argue to juries that they should not convict my client for tax evasion when the even the Director of Treasury cannot understand and obey the laws – perfect closing argument fodder. Of course, this turkey shouldn’t be anywhere near the position he has been nominated for…but I can at least take advantage of the opportunity he provides.

The real tragedy here is that I, and other criminal tax attorneys like me, represent individuals who ordinarily have done far less, with far less knowledge, than Geithner. They get prosecuted, and face jail time for ANY conviction. Geithner? He gets nominated to head it all up. That is apparently justice in Obama’s America.

It’s beyond my understsanding, how this country expects to dig itself out of a monstrous economic and financial hole, when it turns a deaf ear to a public servant who not only deliberately failed to pay the required taxes during his employment witht the IMF, but now has brazenly misinformed them of the circumstances. This was not a common problem, or a minor oversight! It was deliberate tax evasion over a period of 6 or 7 years. We are either a country of laws, or we’re not. Iif a public servant or nominee for public office violates the laws, wherever they be, they need to be held accountable. What is worse, is for the country’s elected representatives to absolve or to make excuses for people caught doing this kind of chicanery (e.g. Rangel, et. al.), to further a political agenda. Mr. Geithner alone needs to do the right thing, and withdraw his name from consideration.

As natural gas prices fall, the tax to heat homes in AR goes up. So it is okay for the poor to pay taxes on a necessity, while the rich get rewarded with not paying their fair share (or anything for that matter).

Way to go dems…you really do stand up for the little guy!

What happened to the much-celebrated vetting process that the President-Elect and his transition team were reputed to be employing? My first question was raised when Hillary Clinton’s vetting process was completed so quickly after the original reports that seemed to indicate that the issues to be overcome were substantial. Then came Bill Richardson, and now this.

That short of a massive testicular transplant, Geithner will sail right through just like all the other Obamaites. “Republicans” or at least the RINOS in the Senate now are doing nothing… not even voting no on many of these folks.

One of the things that happen during a real hard freeze is that all the weak plants shrivel up and die. The GOP is having that ‘hard freeze’ and all the weaker SENATORS are we now see shriveling up and dying.

Like good gardeners with the ‘spring’ we should pull out all this dead wood and rid the garden of it. Then we can bloom again.

while evading taxes that will eventually be needed to pay for the money given to his freinds at places like citigroup…which is now being called insolvent despite the loans they secured from the gov’t….move over Madoff, there’s a new ponzi prince in town.
