if he can't even do his own taxes, how is he possibly the best person for the job? the guy can't even manage his own household's finances and he is the #1 qualified person to manage the finances of the entire country?

if someone was behind the wheel and at fault during a serious car accident, I don't want them to be a school bus driver. if someone got busted drunk driving, they shouldn't later be appointed the head of the dmv.

obviously it's not Obama's fault the Geithner and others have had tax problems, but why has he put himself in the line of fire be appointing them anyway. he's either lazy, ignorant, or stubborn, and I think stubborn is the obvious choice.




yeah I know, bush did the same stuff. yawn.

Doing your own personal taxes is a little different then managing economic policy.What you're saying is a guy who has AIDS can't manage the health and human services department which I don't think is true.Is it disturbing Gietner fucked his taxes up, sure.Does that disqualify him from ever working in the finance sector or does that mean he's unable to do the job Obama hired him to do, no.If you want to stretch it and only hire saints who've never made a mistake good look getting qualified people who can do the job.Nothing he did was criminal so unless you are prepared to disqualify eveyone who ever made a mistake I don't see it as lazy or stubborn.

We got on this topic because you guys made it seem like the hiring of people who have shady pasts was the norm for Obama.Who else do you have a problem with or was it just one guy you had a minor issue with and used "these guys" mistakenly?
