Since Barry is so damn great, you would think that he would have no problem finding qualified people to work for him. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. So, here’s a recap of the people who have accepted positions that have no business being in that position and the people who had the humility(?) to withdraw themselves from contention.
First and foremost: Hillary Clinton (Secretary of State). This woman has no international relations experience under her belt worth mentioning. So let’s mention the “experience” that is trotted out by her supporters: her years in the White House as the First Lady and Commissioner of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe after getting elected to the Senate. Ok, the first one is laughable; it’s not a cabinet position and trotting around the globe as a “soft power” does not constitute diplomacy experience. The second position is actually one that could almost count as foreign relations experience, but it’s not enough. I truly believe Barry’s campaign threw her this bone in return for her conceding the Democratic nomination last year.
Second: Timothy Geithner (Secretary of the Treasury). Hmm, let’s see the guy we’re putting in charge of the Treasury Department (which oversees the IRS) FAILED TO PAY $34,000 IN BACK TAXES. No matter how you slice it this guy is either incompetent or corrupt. He either doesn’t understand how to do his own taxes or he’s trying to hide and slide his money and not pay his fair share. I wonder if this is part of Barry’s plan for “redistributing the wealth”. For crying out loud, if you can’t figure out how to pay your own taxes, HOW, HOW, HOW can you be put in charge of the Treasury?!? Or, if he’s corrupt, how on earth did he get confirmed? Oh wait, the Senate is now overwhelmingly Democrats who just want Barry’s boys and girls in power.
Now, let’s cover the ones who thankfully didn’t make it. The following just shows you that despite all the promises for “CHANGE”, that Barry just has the same old Washington insiders and B.S. to offer.
Bill Richardson (Secretary of Commerce): This New Mexico governor was tapped to be Barry’s Commerce guy, but then Billy withdrew himself from contention due to a federal investigation into his political donors being awarded lucrative contracts. Hmm, sounds a lot like the style of Ron Blagojevich. Does that name sound familiar?
Judd Gregg (Secretary of Commerce): The next guy to which Barry offered the Commerce job was a Republican Senator who ultimately withdrew himself also. His reasoning was that he could not bring himself to support Barry’s policy or the stimulus plan.
Tom Daschle (Secretary of Health and Human Services): Now here’s another winner. Barry tapped Tommy for HHS secretary, but turns out we have yet another nominee who DIDN’T PAY HIS TAXES. This is a US Senator, for crying out loud, who failed to accurately report and pay taxes on income.
Nancy Killefer (Chief Performance Officer for the Federal Government): First of all, what the hell kind of office is this supposed to be? Honestly, just another example of Barry creating Big Government. But, let’s look at the person he nominated for it. He picks a consultant who failed to pay taxes on her household help. Wait, let me say that again: FAILED TO PAY TAXES! Really? Can’t get something as simple as your employer taxes figured out, but you want to be the CPO at the Office of BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT? You must be pulling my leg.
Honestly, if it were Republicans not paying their taxes and pulling stunts like this, the Dems would be all over them as corrupt and greedy. I am sick and tired of the hypocrisy that is coming out of the White House.
