I was just debating on things to blog about today and was reading some headlines on Yahoo.com. Just like always these days on the News or on the internet the only thing that is out there is about President Obama and anything and everything to do with him and his administration. No I did not vote for him but I do wish him the best because this country needs something right now.
Today his Treasury Secretary was approved by the 2/3 of the Senate and appointed (Timothy Geithner). Now I have nothing against this man, haven't even heard about him ever in my life but wouldn't appointing someone to be the Treasury Secretary that had made "careless mistakes" in 4 consecutive years on his income taxes. This man is going to be heading the Treasury department and he doesn't understand the tax codes. I think if I mades some "careless mistakes" 4 years in a row I would be in some federal prison and not be appointed to a Cabinet position.
Come on people are we serious? He was president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, he doesn't understand the tax codes. Please. I don't believe that this country is in so much of a financial crisis that we have to go to this extreme. But hey maybe this could work out to our benefit. I just made the most money that I have ever made in one year in my entire life. Maybe with these hard to understand tax codes I can just make some "careless mistakes" and pay the same amount of taxes as last year and look forward to a bright free future.
Ok enough about that something good will come of all this. . . I hope. I just can't believe how stupid we are sometimes. Lets just keep playing the blame game, change everything and maybe that will make this whole mess solve itself. I just don't understand the human brain anymore and how it is that people think what they do. I gotta get out of here for some time, Canada you have any openings, Mexico estan libres?

I know! crazy. My sister is a court reporter and she says the "honest mistake" excuse never works, even if it really was an honest mistake. She did a lot of cases where people's licenses were at stake (medical licenses, etc.) As in: a dentist having an affair with his assistant and concurrently writing himself illegal prescriptions for Viagra. So even if it was an "honest mistake" which I HIGHLY DOUBT... you still should NOT be the Secretary of the Treasury. I don't know which seems worse- being dishonest or being such an idiot that you didn't know better. They are both so bad. It seems like total insanity!!!
I should nominate you for some special blogger quote award. This is the winning quote that I love,
"But hey maybe this could work out to our benefit. I just made the most money that I have ever made in one year in my entire life.

Great commentary on a really screwed up system. I'd like to say that I hope Obama will do great things, but so far this decision he's made and the Hillary Clinton decision seem kinda poorly made. YIKES!
