Another Obama Nominee In Trouble

This time it's Hilda Solis, the President's pick for Labor Secretary. She is a Democratic representative from California who forgot to disclose that she sits on the board of directors for a pro-labor lobbist organization. Whoops. Byron York has the details.

Confirmation hearings for Democratic nominees should start with "Here are your taxes for the past ten years. Here are your disclosure forms. Now, before we begin, is there anything else you want to tell us?"

This is all well and good, but . . . none of these issues are going to fix the problem in America.  The real problem is the people we choose to serve, don't serve the people, they serve big interests.  By big interests, I mean large corporations, lobbying groups, special interest groups, and their ilk.  None of these individuals has ever had a real job, working at Pizza Hut, or done any real service to the country, like the military.  They are all bought and paid for stooges and activly lobby for other peoples (not the voters) interests.

This is just the same paradigm the republicans presented.  Unfortunately for republicans, the msm was on the other guys side.

I know I am in trouble when even Drudge does not report on the ice storms in KY.  I look and see snow in London.

Armed insurection to correct this injustice is the only answer.  Unfortunately, that answer will only come with complete colapse, global, as well as local.

Yes, this works flawlessly. Obastard makes sure his appointments for staff and Cabinet and endless "czars" are solid liberals, so he can be fully prepared to appoint them.

28 Ethical problems and going back on his campaign promises are no problem for Barry.

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama promised a "clean break from business as usual" in Washington. It hasn't quite worked out that way.

Maybe he shouldn't have promised so much, some open-government advocates say. They're willing to cut him some slack — for now.

What a shock!

"It was probably a mistake to come down so hard on lobbyists," said Melanie Sloan, who is not shy about criticizing lobbyists or politicians as executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. "I think the Obama folks' intentions were great here," she said. "But sometimes you realize you can't actually govern on just what you campaigned on."

I'm sure she would say the same thing about a Republican president.

Fred Wertheimer of Democracy21 is one of Washington's best-known advocates of more open and honest government. He called Obama's executive order "unprecedented and almost revolutionary in nature" and "a direct attack on the culture of Washington and the way business is done here."

"A few waivers will not undermine it," he said, provided they are justified and limited.

Of course they don't Freddy. It's a good thing there's no hypocrisy on left.
