Hillary’s Pay to Play problems continue! Geithner faces question of immigration status of former housekeeper and taxes!

hillary-clinton-thinking.jpgDoes a day go by anymore without some sort of problem with an Obama appointment? Theres rumblings today about Treasury Secretary nominee aka, the man who will be incharge of our taxes Timothy Geithner facing questions over the immigration status of a former housekeeper and whether he paid Social Security and Medicare taxes. And of course theres Billary Hillary Clinton’s continued pay to play problems coming home to roost. Good ole Billary  Hillary Clinton goes before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today to begin her confirmation process, but she’s hardly an unknown quantity.  She served in the Senate for eight years, and the tradition of the club dictates an easy and comfortable confirmation process.  Perhaps, though, we can hope that one member of the most exclusive political club on Capitol Hill might ask Hillary about her habit of paying back her husband’s donors:

Secretary of State appointee Hillary Rodham Clinton intervened at least six times in government issues directly affecting companies and others that later contributed to her husband’s foundation, an Associated Press review of her official correspondence found.

The overlap of names on former President Bill Clinton’s foundation donor list and business interests whose issues she championed raises new questions about potential ethics conflicts between her official actions and her husband’s fundraising. The AP obtained three of the senator’s government letters under the Freedom of Information Act. …

The letters and donations involve pharmaceutical companies and telecommunications and energy interests. An aide to the senator said she made no secret of her involvement in many of the issues. Bill Clinton’s foundation declined to say when it received the donations or precisely how much was contributed.

You wanted change America? Well you got it!
