close those cabinet doors!

If there is something that confuses me more than anything this week it is how so many cabinet nominees have tax issues. Even more astounding is how administration officials and panels didn't notice these liens before they were delegated at all. This is a total lack of discipline on the new adminstration's part, and frankly, as much as i hate to say it, it starts with Barack Obama. If he is unaware of his nominees' tax problems, someone or someonessss on his staff need to delve into their financials and find out the real problem. Every nominee should be audited by the adminstration in the first place, why they weren't is beyond me. The bottom line is that we cannot have administration officials in cabinet positions, high power, decision-making decisions, with shaky tax history. If they cannot manage their own financials, how can they possibly manage anything else, let alone a cabinet secretary position. The Obama administration better get their head screwed on straight or they are in for a rough first year, although they may have already dug too big a hole to get out of this fiscal quarter. Try to pass that stimulus bill now.
