Here We Go Again? Solis Nomination Held Up After Husband's Tax Problem Revealed

I have an honest question WHO heads up the vetting process for the Obama administration?

Gibbs is out of his league as Press Secretary. I have yet to hear him offer an intelligent response to the questions.

This is getting tiring.

Does President Obama and his team no anybody who DOES pay their taxes? At first I went on a bunch of blog tirades about the disrespect it shows the American people. How these officials are acting like they are some new ruling class that is above the laws they create to govern the rest of us.

Now, I am worn out. Why can’t we get something interesting like a sex scandal, showing up for a confirmation hearing drunk, anything. Heck, I’d take unpaid parking tickets at this point to spice things up!

On Thursday, Democrats will head to the Kingsmill Resort and Spa in historic Williamsburg, Va., for the three-day planning powwow. The resort boasts multiple championship golf courses, a full-service spa and six restaurants.
It would have been really good PR to stay home and bring a box lunch,”
Individual lawmakers pay for most of the expenses related to retreat lodging through their campaign committees, but the Democratic Caucus subsidizes some of the costs for what aides consider “official business” — to the tune of nearly $100,000 each year, according to a Democratic aide involved in retreat planning.

What else do you need to remove the incompetent and corrupt Obama Administration. Unfortunately some Americans will have to die to get rid of Obama rapidly.It is inevitable that the resumption of islamic terrorist attacks on our homeland will start very soon which Bush prevented since 9/11.It is guaranteed by Obama, Panetta and the democrats not to waterboard terrorists because the democrats enjoyed better the massacre and horrific deaths of the 3,000 American 100% innocent civilians on 9/11.The US military will then be forced to take over the gov't to protect our freedom,our justice system,our citizens and our homeland.

well what will the excuses be today.

and what happened to the promise that each nominee would have this magical form to fill out, that supposedly would weed out those that should never even get to this stage.

and in 1999, 10 years ago her husband pain off leins, ahh then how did he not know about these, from 1993 now come on

this does not make sense.

He's owed the taxes for sixteen years and suddenly he pays up just when his wife is nominated? Nah, that doesn't smell at all! Plus, she sat on the board of directors for a lobbying firm, but no lobbyists will be in this administration. What is the count up to now--fourteen?

Speaking of lobbyists, Panetta is in the hot seat on that one, too.

From the promises on the campaign trail of being the most ethical, the most responsible, the most transparent government EVER, we get the least in all categories. Washington is starting to even smell like Chicago.

YIKES! Will someone halfway honest please sign up for these jobs?

Al Capone had fewer tax problems and he went to prison.

Obama vetting team. Questionaire form: 1. Are you or your spoude a tax cheat? Try that next time.

Obama vetting team. Questionaire form: question #1. Are you or your spouse a tax cheat?

It's not even funny anymore. He should fire everyone and start over.
But here is an interesting fact about our tax system. According to the IRS there is over $300 billion of taxes that go unpaid each year due to underreporting and just straight out non-payment. While the majority of hard working citizens in this country are paying their share, many people are screwing the system. They know that if they get caught they aren't going to be thrown in jail and usually can negotiate settlements for a lot less than what is owed. How about going after that money. How about spending a billion $ of the stimulus on finding and prosecuting non payers if they don't settle up. Seems like even if we got $100 billion of those taxes paid it would be a good investment.

Sands: You are missing the point. The vetting process knew about all of the recent tax problems with appointees. The Messiah in his wisdom thought the tax laws did not apply to his "special" people. Is this the change you were expecting?

Obama vetting team, Questionaire form question #2

as you answered yes to question #1 we feel you are the only qualified nonminee, welcome to the team.

Sandnsun- you have to tell both sides - The Republicans not only have the same annual retreat, get their money from the same sources that the democrats do but that they charge LOBBYISTS $25,000 each to attend their retreat.

HOT SPRINGS, Va.—For the first time in eight years, Republicans held their annual retreat without a visit from the president.

But that didn’t dampen the mood at The Homestead Resort, where House lawmakers retired for three days to plot their path out of the wilderness.

Look at these faces,” said California Rep. Kevin O. McCarthy, pointing to a roomful of Republicans and their families during a dinner in one of the resort’s expansive ballrooms.

Speakers at the gathering included such familiar faces as Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, Club for Growth founder and Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Stephen Moore, former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, pollsters Rich Thau and David Winston, and return-of-the-Republican message guru Frank Luntz. They skewed conservative, and they offered plenty of Reagan references.

Newly elected Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele addressed the convention on Saturday

THE GOP SAYS - “There’s a stark difference between using taxpayer dollars in the middle of a recession for a retreat, compared to ours, which is an open conference which the media will be covering.”

Here is the kicker for the GOP blasting the democrats for using taxpayer funds when they receive the exact same funds (Pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, the Republican Steering Committee received $943,000, the Republican Conference, $1,631,000, and the Republican Policy Committee, $325,000 -- for a total of $2,899,000 for fiscal year 2008. The Democratic Steering and Policy Committee and the Democratic Caucus also received a total of $2,899,000, with $1,295,000 going to the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee and $1,604,000 going to the Democratic Caucus. (No appropriations bill for legislative branch operations has been passed for fiscal year 2009; the legislative branch is being funded pursuant to a continuing resolution until March 3, 2009.)

In addition, the GOP IS charging lobbyists $25,000 each to attend their retreat whereas the democrats DO NOT EVEN ALLOW lobbyists at theirs.

Members on both sides of the aisle typically pay most of the retreat costs out of their campaign accounts. But for years, Republicans have allowed the Institute to subsidize some of the expenses for staff travel. Democrats have used the Democratic Caucus official budget to cover similar costs. They will gather at the Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Va., in early February.

Hypocracy thy name is Obama.

This is just pathetic. Time for her to remove her name from consideration. What a bunch of low life tax dodgers.

According to the IRS there is over $300 billion of taxes that go unpaid each year due to underreporting and just straight out non-payment.

This does NOT INCLUDE the Large Corporations and the Rich that don't pay taxes at all because they send their money out of the country.

Gotta say, I am tired of hearing everyday about someone in Washington not paying their taxes. Which brings up who I would hold responsible for that--the frickin IRS! Why in the hell can they catch Joe Schmo on the street for not paying his measly taxes, and they can't catch these people? If anything, the IRS should audit the entire Congress and anyone and everyone who wants to or IS working in government. Think of the jobs that would create. Think of the revenue it would create. Think of the transparency it would create. And the state governments should do the same with their state politicians, as well.

History 101: GreatR you are excused from class as you obviously already took and passed this course. But you are welcome to stay if you like !

Sir Winston Winston Churchill was one of the Great leaders of the
modern era and saw Germany in his time as a SOCIALIST Movement which
it was.

Here is what Churchill said about socialism when he saw it take root
in Germany;

"SOCIALISM is a philosophy of failure, the Creed of ignorance, and
the gospel of ENVY."

Let us begin this lesson to think about what he meant by this and why he fought
so hard to stop it:

Where does envy fit in and go along with the current administrations
plans and what did Churchill mean by the Creed of ignorance ?

Obama has so much as told you .... Life is unfair so you deserve to
have EVERYTHING everyone else has who actually WORKED hard for
it. ...ENVY def: The desire to have something someone else has ( his very
effective "pain trickling up" slogan ) He wants you to look at what other people have.

Wealth Redistribution is his plan to fix this: HE HAS SAID HE WILL DO THIS !!!

The problem with wealth redistribution and a "virtue" of the
Socialist creed is that we can redistribute wealth but HISTORY tells
us that we would all end up poor and miserable. We would be TOGETHER but
all WORK for the state.

NO WAY !!!! How could this happen ? It is actually
fairly simple.

How do you pay off the debt they are about to hand you and your
children if you do not stop them and their plans. WHERE do you think
this multi Trillion dollars ( do not forget the interest) they are
going to pass out comes from.. Obama heaven ? YOU will pay this back by
taxes to the STATE in this case the IRS.

Yet another way to look at it is think what Obama said "we all
deserve to
go to College." .....YEAH Sounds great !!Finally we all get to go to
College and make the BIG BUCKS.

Except.... what do you think your College degree is going to be worth in helping you get the BIG BUCK job if we ALL have one ?........ Answer: NOTHING

The natural course of a Socialist state as we have learned by
history: Eventually when you see
Obama and his friends are NOT POOR ( likely not even paying taxes
either ie Geitner) but VERY wealthy as they are NOW and you are
working like a dog to pay off the NATIONAL DEBT you will become
UNHAPPY. You will have the very rich like Obama and the poor like you
WILL BE.

YOU SAY ....I will not be poor because he will fix the economy create jobs and I
can make MORE money.

Maybe Except....Try getting ahead when HE will saddle you with a
multi trillion dollar National debt and TAX YOU for EVERY penny to
pay it back. Even if you make the BIG BUCKS ( rememember everyone now has a
college degree so not likely) you will give most of it to HIM ( those
at the top take care of those at the top always ) and the IRS

No WAY YOU SAY... If he does this we can stop it even if we have to
revolt. This is America ! If he is successful not anymore.

History of a Socialist state requires the masses be controlled.
Eventually even if you even dare say anything about the Government this
usually ends up be a crime against the state.

You might want to ask Obama why he in his own words PROMISED A NATIONAL
POLICE FORCE AS STRONG AS OUR MILITARY. Why not just beef up the
military or National Guard. Has anyone asked him ?

Socialism has ALWAYS resulted in a failed state...think not ?

How many people do you know that are trying to escape the USA to go
to Cuba or any other Socialist state?

Lesson Review:

"SOCIALISM is a philosophy of failure, the Creed of ignorance, and
the gospel of ENVY."

So this is what one of the Great leaders Sir Winston Churchill has
given you to help you see the TRUTH which is the opposite of
IGNORANCE and is the absolute ENEMY of the Socialist state. The problem is by the time you learn the truth it is usually too late.

It is now up to you. If I were you I would not waste a minute calling
your Senator and telling them HELL NO !!! We will and can survive
without Socialism !! YES WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN !!! SPREAD THE
WORD TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW !!! YOUR DESTINY IS IN YOUR HANDS AND IT IS NOT TOO LATE BUT THE DOOR IS CLOSING AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO BACK.
