Obama '08?

okie, You do realize that both Castro and Obama agree that breathing is a good thing and holding your breath is not a good thing.

Let us know how that works out for you.

Fatuous.

How self-effacing of you, Spend.

This from the guy who believes his daily trek to the local pub is the most important decision made.

Obama pushes another tax evader for cabinet. What happened to a new kind of ethics he talks about? He criticizes Wall Street, but what about Pennsylvania Avenue? Clearly a double standard, one for the Republicans and the rest of us, and another for him and his liberal cronies. But Daschles back taxes was only about a hundred grand, chump change, not a serious problem, Obama fully expects him to be confirmed, this is just a minor little oversight, we can all be sure of that, can't we?

That's a big problem for Obama, but because it's politics, Daschle will probably get the votes.

What I find interesting is the fact that if Obama selects more people for his administration and they have to revise their income tax returns, we'll learn who all the has-been crooks are. LOL

This one could possibly be an oversight. Not saying it is, but the last company I worked for used to run a special payroll for employees with company vehicles. It was exactly enough to cover the presumed use of the vehicle, plus taxes. Most of the employees never knew it happened, since no paychecks were issued. Income and taxes were reflected on the W-2. Anyway, it's not like Daschle is going to be in charge of the IRS.

Roger, maybe it was an oversight, I thought about that, but as I understand it, it involves a Democrat friend and contributor providing him a car to the tune of a pretty hefty amount, such that he owes a hundred grand. Now, we are not talking about loaning him a car for a Sunday drive. This was four years of a car and driver given to him, a pretty expensive gift. I just have a very hard time believing Daschle is that stupid, after all he is a lawyer wise to the ways of finances, gifting, taxes, and all the rest. I guess I don't buy it.

In regard to Geithner, I think it is even more doubtful. I watched him testify, his eyes darting here and there, he looked like a caged fox explaining his way out, I just do not buy his claims. After all, here is another supposedly smart man, and no way does he not know the taxes needed to be declared as a self employed person. I don't buy it at all. Its not a few hundred dollars, it was tens of thousands.

Obama is cocky, he won, yes, that is a fact, but alot of people voted for him that will rethink their vote pretty quickly if this doesn't stop. He may be regarded as the Messiah by a few people, but not all of the voters, thats for sure. I think his political capital will shrink faster than he thinks, unless he can shut up the opposition.

okie continues to make mountains out of mole hills; his specialty.

And ci. continues to make pointless and fatuous remarks in the manner of Mark Twain at his worst.

spendi, I describe why okie's posts are without merit; try, if you can, tell us why my posts are "pointless and fatuous?"

Mark Twain? Please give us some quotes that are Mark Twain at his worst. At that, they will certainly be leagues above your best mangled sentence.

You asking me?

Spendius - quote: And ci. continues to make pointless and fatuous remarks in the manner of Mark Twain at his worst. (As he begins a sentence with "And.")

Anyone who presume to come up with the answer -- especially those who put themselves above others because of religious beliefs and it sings their sour song from every word they put down.

For the same reason that-



is pointless and fatuous.

You tell us why okie's posts make mountains out of molehills. That you failed to explain that is why your post was pointless and fatuous.

In fact you have said so yourself by asking me to explain mine. Which I now have.

Perhaps you could try to explain again but in english this time. Your so called explaination was disjointed and confuseing.

ci thinks I am making too much of a tax evader running the IRS. He thinks evading taxes is a mole hill, especially when it is the head of the IRS.

If his name was George Bush, it would be a mountain.

No, that's not the issue at all. What you have done is to accuse a man of wrong doing when it could have been an honest mistake. You are judge, jury and executioner. You must be proud.

I presume you mean that my explanation was "disjointed and confuseing" to you rab rather that as a fact. It was simple enough to me. Perhaps you are not as familiar with ci's mode of discourse as I am.

Actually okie it isn't such a bad idea to put a practiced tax evader, if he is, in charge of tax collection. He will know all the wrinkles won't he?

Set a thief to catch a thief they say.
