This is the CHANGE that Obama promised? Geithner can't handle his own taxes, and now he is expected to handle our taxes? It is an "obamanation" that this nomination is still proceeding in committee, and hasn't been withdrawn.
I was going to post this information this morning,. but checked and found your thread. I can't believe that more ATS members aren't outraged by this, regardless of where they stand on the political spectrum. After all, it is all of our tax money, that this clown will try to "appropriate" to more "Bailouts".
People should write their Senators and Congressional Representative and express outrage over this.

Well let's see... Bill Richardson - being investigated for "Pay-to-play" scandal prior to his withdrawl. The "Pay-to-play" scandal involving Rahm Emmanual and Blago to fill the Senate seat vacated by Obama. His Fed appointment is another wall street insider. The majority of cabinet are Clinton retreads. And now this.

Seems to me that "Change" isn't really change at all - just more beltway politics. So, how many more days until the revolution begins?

HAHAH .."while investigating his background.."

Yeah right... I really believe that.

This is either :

A - A ploy to make it look like they actually do work and investigate their picks.. or..

B - Someone else did the work and is making them voice this.

My pick is both.

Why do all of his cabinet picks seem 'dirty'?

Buyers remorse anyone?

Who is helping Obama make his choices? He'll add Madoff to his administration next at this rate.

What a joke.

Uh, mmm, uh, Obama has lacked horrible judgement in those he surrounds himself with, so not sure why anyone thought he would, uh, mmm, uh, have great judgement on those he appoints into his cabinet.

The man has no experience on anything and as much judgement as a child. It is becoming more and more evident every day.

You'll notice the pro-bama crowd hasn't bothered to comment. And I agree - a simple mistake that $34K in taxes wasn't paid? BS!

Oh wait a sec ... wait a sec! Hear that sound? They're making the tee shirts and bumper stickers already! The ones that say "Don't blame me. I didn't vote for 'The Messiah!'"

And yet, still 6 days until inauguration. This circus is just getting better and better day by day. With each little pile of dog poo that Obama steps in, getting himself into trouble or causing himself further scrutiny, the smug smile on my face gets bigger and bigger. C'mon Pro-bama's - where's that smug attitude over your savior now? And how long is it going to take you to admit that you've been royally HAD by the media and by a slick-talking politician?
