Obama Should Be Accountable For His Cabinet Choices
All this probing into Obama’s administration and the issues being uncovered are really starting to piss me off. Why were these not discovered and addressed before he was sworn into office? What exactly was he and his team doing those 90 days prior to his swearing in that they could have missed this? Unless of course they thought they could hide it or explain it away with apologies and make everything okay. That doesn’t fly with your average taxpayer…you either pay or your salary is seized by the IRS.
So after hearing about the third such instance of this tax evasion with Obama’s cabinet members, I decided to email Obama and team through the new Whitehouse.gov site. Here’s what I had to say with the limited 400 characters they give you:
“Your cabinet pics are becoming highly questionable, what else has been hidden & overlooked by your team? Why were these tax issues overlooked? Why, as commander-in-chief did you not perform background, credit, & all the other checks that the rest of us American’s must face now when applying for a new job? And why have you not publicly addressed this yet with the nation? Every other occurrence like this is whittling away at an already precarious trust and faith in government. Please take action!”
I hope this is the end of it. But if Obama’s administration heads any further south our countries issues have only just begun smoldering. I’m doubtful this will be the last we hear though and I wouldn’t be surprised if the accusations lead straight to Obama himself at some point.
p.s. For the record, I voted for Ron Paul in the primaries.

Update 7:45pm EST: I’m happy to see Obama’s stepped forward to address these mistakes today.
