Hypocrisy II

[unixronin]

Is there ANYONE among Obama’s cabinet, staff and appointees who doesn’t have skeletons in the closet?

Quoting writerspleasure,

Before its portfolio of bad loans helped trigger the current housing crisis, mortgage giant Freddie Mac was the focus of a major accounting scandal that led to a management shake-up, huge fines and scalding condemnation of passive directors by a top federal regulator.

One of those allegedly asleep-at-the-switch board members was Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel - now chief of staff to President Barack Obama - who made at least $320,000 for a 14-month stint at Freddie Mac that required little effort.

(In case you missed it, Obama’s pick for deputy EPA administrator stepped down the other day, after learning that a nonprofit he served on was “under scrutiny” for some kind of financial shenanigans.)

It's only a continuing question amongst the I'm-so-mad-Obama-got-elected-I-could-just-spit crowd, and the efforts to quash it are basically everyone else pointing and laughing.

Seriously, I hold that right up with the I'm-so-mad-Bush-was-elected-I-could-just-move-to-Canada crowd claiming that Bush was showing signs of pre-senile dementia. They're equally absurd.
