Good one Fred….Keith Richards as head of DEA…..I am rushing out to buy Turbo Tax today though I fear the price may have already been increased…due to it’s recent gain in popularity…..

There is NO WAY they can allow Geithner to be Head of IRS! No way! If they do I will lose any kind of respect to this country! Any kind of!

Carl, whey you’re a liberal Obama supporter, that’s the reward you get for breaking the law.

So let me see if I get this straight…Al Capone, Leona Helmsley & Wesley Snipes as three examples don’t pay taxes and pay by being sent to jail but Tim Geithner doesn’t pay taxes, claims it was just a simple mistake, pays backtaxes and penalties then gets nominated (and more than likely confirmed/annointed) as Treasury Secretary? What’s wrong with this picture? Apparently to Obama liberals nothing. Pathetic.

IMHO the Obama administration is getting off to a very poor start right off the bat. And I don’t expect things to get any better or make sense.

Also, you’ve evidently NOT heard that Richards IS in the running for DEA Administrator.

I bet Willie Nelson is banging his head against a wall just mumbling over and over, “all I needed to do was apologize.”

If Geithner can’t even take care of his own taxes, how is he going to take care of a nation?

Just another misstep that is the Obama Journey…

Have you seen the commercials on TV “I owed the IRS $$$$ but I only paid$$”?

That is what wrong with this country IMO, they don’t say “This is what the IRS said I owed them” They say ” I OWED the IRS” to me that is a sad state, if you owe, pay if you can’t pay don’t buy. There is no accountability anymore, it’s all about “What can I screw you out of” these folks that pay less make US pay more.

I love that last comparison Fred… And it’s accurate.

But consider: isn’t that absolutely perfect?

A tax cheat as literal head of the IRS?

But, hey, it’s about Obama and to impugn an Obama decision or appointment is RACIST. Shame!

I wonder, if he gets confirmed, how many of his buds will fail their math also with NOTHING said.
