It's Not My Fault

It's Not My Fault...it was TurboTax!

I would like to thank Tim Geithner for this posting opportunity.  Leave it to an Obama nominee to blame it on something other than one's own self.  To be fair, Geithner did make some heartfelt remarks and quasi-apologies for this tax blunder at his confirmation hearings.

Now, I am a reasonable person.  So if I failed to pay the full amount of my taxes back in 2001, I wouldn't wait until I was about to be nominated to be the Secretary of the Treasury to pay those taxes.....8 years later!  It's one thing to mess up, it's another to mess up and then ignore it for almost a decade.

And this is the guy we want running our Treasury Department?  I heard a rumor that if an IRS employee messes up like that on their income taxes they can no longer work for the IRS.  Double standard alert!

First day on the job

What has our friend Obama accomplished today?

Let's start with the topic of abortion.  Obama will reverse the Bush administration policy that bans the use of federal dollars by non-govermental organizations that discuss or provide abortions outside of the United States.  Let's see here....why should we fund abortions outside of the US? 

Even if you are a pro-lifer like myself, please give me a good reason why we should allow US taxpayer dollars go outside of the US to organization that may provide these services.

Doesn't make sense.

In other news, while I was not a fan of Michelle Obama's inaugural gown, I like the outfit she wore during the day.

What is a girl to wear?

What ever will Michell Obama wear to the inaugural balls?  I'm hoping for a lovely designer number that costs thousands of dollars....that will show the American people where the priorities are.  But wait, it's the inauguration...a few extra dollars should be spent to celebrate.  Maybe they could take her dress budget out of the $120,000,000 budget that is the inuguration day budget...does that include security costs?

It should be a well celebrated event...I think someone has gone over board the budget.

In any case, I wish them good luck....they'll need.

Only 1,387 more days until the next presidential election.  She scares me!
