Timothy Geithner, Genius Behind Bailout, Didn’t Pay Taxes
President-elect Barack Hussein Obama’s The Messiah’s pick to head the Treasury Department, and the brains behind now infamous T.A.R.P., owed $35,000 in federal tax liabilities.
President-elect Barack Obama’s Treasury Secretary nominee, who would oversee the Internal Revenue Service, failed to pay nearly $35,000 in federal taxes from 2001 to 2004 and has a history of mistakes and late-filing, senators preparing to vote on the pick said Tuesday.
Democrats said the delinquent taxes, some of which Mr. Geithner paid only after he learned that Mr. Obama was considering him for the post, were an “honest mistake.” Republican senators said they will have to see what details emerge before deciding whether to support Mr. Geithner’s confirmation.
Does anyone find it ironic (and deeply concerning) that a so-called economic and financial wizard like Geithner can’t even remember to pay his tax liability generated from his independent contracting work at the International Monetary Fund?
This guy has been portrayed by liberals as the only one who can lead us out of the financial crisis yet he couldn’t even keep up with his own tax burdens.
I can’t wait to see what this genius gives us as encore to his current brainchild–T.A.R.P..
