I'm more than a little sick of hearing about Obama nominees with tax problems. Can't we have a government filled with folks without questionable morals already?
No?
Ok.
Maybe we'll get some change in another four years.
This time it's Hilda Solis, Obama's choice for Labor Secretary. Her husband forgot to pay some taxes or something. You know the story at this point. Click the link below if you really care.
Some good news for Obama, though. He expanded the office of faith based initiatives, which he had indicated he wanted to do during the campaign.
He also got his choice for deputy defense secretary, William Lynn, passed by a Senate panel despite (wait for it....) his previous career as a lobbyist.
