Another Obama nominee faces tax troubles – Lael Brainard

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Another Obama nominee has tax issues! Impossible you say? I know, it sounds so far fetched how a the Messiah, the President of “hope and change” could make this mistake, AGAIN. Her name is Lael Brainard and she is Obama’s nominee for undersecretary of the Treasury for international affairs (ironic isn’t it?) Lael Brainard was late in paying real estate taxes in 2005, 2006 and 2007 according to the AP. The AP though seems a biut off in its counting. They claim this is the fifth Obama nominee with tax issues. Maybe they forget a couple of the other Obama nominees who have “issues” with taxes such as Timothy Geithner, Tom Daschle, Hilda Solis, Nancy Killefer, Ron Kirk and Kathleen Sebelius. By my count, this is now the 7th Obama nominee with tax issues, but maybe the AP is simply using the Recovery.gov standard for adding up things.

    Ap isn’t countinting daschle and killefer because they aren’t “in” anymore. Out of sight out of mind I guess.
