Obama built his campaign on "change," and always said we're going to change America and the way politics are done. I'll give him credit, he's changed some things. I'll also admit that I'm a huge fan a his picks for his administration.Tim Geithner, the name just rolls off the tongue.
President Obama picked the wonderful Geithner to play a key roll in his administration, the secretary of the treasury. The reason I like Geithner is because he refused to pay his taxes. I'm trying to remember how much he owes in taxes. Let me think. Now I remember! In Geithner's defense, it's the small amount of about $34,000, so not tons (I hope you can detect my sarcasm). Next, we have the spectacular Tom Daschle. What a pick! I wonder what Obama was thinking when he picked him. It was probably something like "let's see how many people I can pick that haven't paid their taxes."
No one knows for sure what he's thinking, we don't have the technology haha. We do know that our president's pick for health secretary avoided paying about $128,000 in taxes. Another wise choice for our new president. Daschle never actually became the health secretary sadly (more sarcasm). Obama always talked about crossing party lines. That'd be great if he actually did. Instead his brilliant stimusex package isn't crossing any lines. It's getting strictly democratic support.Some of you are probably thinking "well republicans didn't cross party lines when they had congress and the white house." Whether they did or not really makes no difference in any of this. The fact is that Obama said he would and either failed or flat out lied. He said he was going to change the way Washington was run. Picking people who don't pay their taxes is a good start.
He's changing something for sure.I hope he does a good job, I really do. He's gotten off to such a great start that now I have tons of faith in him. Should we support him and his bill's simply because he's our president? Maybe. I just don't want to make the same mistake the Germans did with Hitler.
Now I'm not saying that Obama is the next Hitler. What I am saying is that the germans followed Hitler like he was the Messiah. Should we blindly follow Obama? I sure don't think so. We should do all we can to improve our own situation and pray that he doesn't continue on his path of massively spending all our tax dollars with no sign of it helping.
