Obama Years Off To Horrible Start
Sketchy.
That is the word that sums up the first couple weeks of the Obama Presidency. In lieu of a wordy post, I'll be concise:
1. Obama had not even been sworn in and he was already demanding over a trillion dollars from congress. Is that normal?
2. Why spend another trillion dollars of bailout money when the first trillion has yet to yield even the most diminutive results?
3. Why doesn't Obama attempt to pass tax initiatives that would entice American companies to a) stop outsourcing employment, and b) bring some employment/manufacturing back stateside? After all, when you break it down, isn't this issue at the heart of the matter with regard to the recession?
4. Why doesn't anyone seem to care that two of Obama's cabinet picks are blatantly guilty of tax fraud? Timothy Geithner, who clearly is guilty of payroll tax fraud, is now Secretary of the Treasury? Wow. And how about Tom Daschle? The guy owes $120,000 in back taxes and didn't even inform Obama until just before the inauguration. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked about Daschle and his purported fraud but could only counter with, "nobody's perfect."
5. If two Bush picks were guilty of tax fraud, wouldn't there be riots in the street?
6. We're only two weeks in. This could be a long 4 years.
