"I was hoping the thread democrats would make an appearance to discuss Obama's failures"

Let me know when you are willing to discuss Smirk's failings. He had 8 years of fail. Obama is just starting. Where is the slack?

Mysterious Ways of the Lord

"I never thought I would enjoy watching the news about an airplane crash. But the Lord works in mysterious ways, and with a sense of humor!

First: No one died!
Second: The passengers standing on the wing appeared to be walking on water!
Third: It removed Obama from the headlines for 24 hours!
Fourth: No one in the government could take credit for the miracle!
and
Fifth: It wasn't George Bush's fault!

WOW!"

Next Obama appointment to fail:
Ron "I won't turn over no stinking records" Sims

Obama Body Count:
Nancy "What Payroll Taxes?" Killefer
Bill "Pay to Play" Richardson
Tom "What Constitution? / Tax Fraud" Daschle

Obama Walking Wounded:
Timothy "Tax Fraud" Geithner
Eric "Pardongate" Holder

Congress Walking Wounded:
Chris "Insider Loan" Dodd
Charlie "Tax Cheat" Rangle
Barney "Don't ask about the prostitution ring at my house" Frank

Republicans purge their crooks, democrat promote theirs.

Who is next? I heard that Torricelli was still looking for highly paid work.

Rangel's Ethics Woes Continue
February 05, 2009

Already under investigation by the House ethics committee for various tax-related issues, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) could face increased scrutiny from the panel after new reports of discrepancies in his financial disclosure forms.

The committee had already needed to expand its investigation in December after more ethics issues surfaced -- specifically, that he allegedly helped obtain a tax loophole for a donor to the Charles B. Rangel Center at the City College of New York.

The new report comes from Sunlight Foundation, which released its finding yesterday that Rangel had "failed to report purchases, sales or his ownership of assets at least 28 times since 1978 on his personal financial disclosure forms."

"Assets worth between $239,026 and $831,000 appeared and disappeared with no disclosure of when they were acquired, how long they were held, or when they were sold, as House Rules require," the group reported. Sunlight is a private, nonpartisan watchdog group.
