Me - Apparently the spouse of a tax cheat is still A-OK to hold a high office in the Obama Admin.

Because You Aren’t A Genuine Obama Nominee Without a Tax Issue

By Matt Margolis on tax liens

Wow, I have to say, Obama just can’t seem to nominate someone without there being an ethics or a tax problem.

<<< The husband of President Obama’s choice to head the Labor Department paid about $6,400 Wednesday to settle tax liens that had been outstanding for as long as 16 years against his business, the Obama administration said Thursday.

The disclosure came shortly before a scheduled 2 p.m. meeting of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which will vote on U.S. Rep. Hilda Solis’ nomination as Labor secretary. The hearing was postponed to give the administration time to look into the tax matter and report back to the committee, said Anthony Coley, a spokesman for Sen. Edward Kennedy, the committee chairman. Solis is a California Democrat.

At a news conference, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said of Solis: “I read the story in USA TODAY and it quotes somebody who works here. Obviously we know about the story. We reviewed her tax returns and her tax returns are in order. Her husband had an issue.” >>>

I guess we’ll see… Nevertheless, in the wake of several tainted and botched nominations, this hardly makes the inexperienced numbnuts in the White House look any better.
