Can't believe any of these goofballs are being confirmed


~*Debs*~"If they were republicans... there is no way they would be allowed to take the job posts they have been assigned. Putting Geithner in that position is like having Bank Robber guard the bank. Please???? @@ "

If You Were A Senator...
Tim Geithner, the nominee for Treasury Secretary, is getting questioned on Capitol Hill today by the Senate Finance Committee. Check out the New York Times live blog of the hearing here.This pick is important because, if confirmed, Geithner will be in charge of leading President Obama's economic plan and restoring the American people's faith in our economy.The main objection to his nomination is his failure to pay $34,023 in taxes from 2001 to 2004.Geithner apologized for his mistakes, calling them "careless" but "unintentional."We want to know what you think about this. If you were a Senator, would you vote to confirm or deny Geithner's nomination?

Thank you for voting!

this was a travesty...confirming him for the head of the financials..60 votes for and 34 against, should have told them something was no ok with this nomination...so, let me get this straight, we are all allowed a 1,2,3,4,5,6 year pass on paying our income taxes, without penalty, so long as we apologize for not paying them? had he not been caught, he would still not have paid..that certainly says a lot about the choices obama is making for his cabinet posts, doesnt it? hillary, now geithner, rahm emanuel, it only gets richer as the time goes on.
