I was enjoying a multiple hour layover in the Atlanta airport when news of the swearing in ofTimothy F. Geithner, of New York, to be Secretary of the Treasury was announced on CNN.
Of the approximately 100 people in the room I couldn't see anyone else that seemed to care that a liar and a crook was just placed in charge of the United States treasury.
Nor did anyone seem to care that 10 Republican senators voted for a guy who says he didn't understand his tax forms, but thought he could be in charge of taxes.
So, which 10 Republicans voted for Obama's indispensable man?
Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
Ensign (R-NV)
Graham (R-SC)
Gregg (R-NH)
Hatch (R-UT)
Shelby (R-AL)
Snowe (R-ME)
Voinovich (R-OH)
These 10 Republicans just gave Obama a pass card to do what he wants. They will help.
Next up will be when the congress finds out for sure if they can roll Obama. Look for the continuing resolution which will be lit up like a Christmas tree with earmarks. If the Obama doesn't veto it, they have him.
Then it will be business as usual for the Democrat controlled congress and Obama. Quid pro quo. With our money and our lives and our rights and freedom.
