It is beginning to have sounds like a broken record; the old type that went round and round on a turntable. As reported in U.S.A Today, the latest bombshell to explode today was that President Obama's Labor Secretary's nomine's husband, Sayyad, had tax liens outstanding for 16 years.
If that was not enough, it turns out that Rep. Hilda Solis was an unpaid board member and treasurer of the pro-union American Rights at Work. The group spent $110,000 in 2007 and $200,000 in 2008 on lobbying to support legislation to make it easier for union to organize. Solis said it was "an unintentional oversight."
The tax liens in the County Records are addressed to Sayyad at this business.
- Seven list the repair shop as debtor on unsecured property.
- Eleven of the tax liens are for delinquent country taxes on business equipment as unsecured property.
- Two tax liens, from 1994 and 1996, are for $1,255 in unpaid state sales taxes.
- Two tax liens for unsecured property issued in the last four months--one for $97 in December and another for $701 in November 2008.
As the hearings progress on the confirmation for Solis as Secretary of Labor, they will have the encouragement of the pro-union Americans Rights at Work calling for a swift confirmation.

Question: Do Democrats EVER pay taxes? Apparently NOT! No wonder they are QUICK to spend EVERYONE ELSE'S!! OsiSpeaks[dot]com
I AM SO ANGRY!
Tom Daschle, and Nancy Killefer are two of the finest, and most competent public servants you could possibly hope for in these appointments. They have been assassinated by the Washington healthcare lobby through their paid Bush Republican henchmen in congress. These Bush republicans are the same people blocking the economic recovery plan put forth by the Obama administration.
I am BURNING MAD America. And you should be too. Tome Daschle and Nancy Killefer were exactly what we needed to help turn this country around and fix our economy, and catastrophic healthcare crisis.
If I were their boss I would tell them to get right back to Washington. And dare congress to not approve them. How ridiculous is it to reject highly qualified people that this country needs just because they made a mistake on their taxes. Don't stand for that anymore America. They apologized, and paid their taxes, and that should be it. Their country needs them. But President Obama has to do what he thinks is best. I understand that. I'M JUST SO MAD at the anti American Bush Republicans.
Like many of you I have been trying to enjoy the after glow of this Beautiful historic election. But I see that the republicans in congress and their cohorts aren't going to be good sports, and LOSER'S!
SO BE IT!
In spite of President Obama's repeated offers, and gestures of collegiality to Republicans. Bush Republicans have seized upon every opportunity to stab President Obama in the back. And by doing so they are stabbing you, and the rest of the American people in the back. Well, you don't have to put up with that. And you shouldn't put up with that. President Obama has only been on the job two weeks. And he inherited two wars, and the worst economy since the great depression.
We had an election. And president Obama, and the democrats won BIG. And Bush Republicans lost miserably!
The Bush Republicans are the ones responsible for the worst economic crisis since the great depression. And the Bush Republicans are responsible for the worst healthcare crisis in American history. A healthcare crisis that is killing hundreds of thousands of you every year. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. Insured, and uninsured. Men, women, children, and babies.
President Obama, and the Democrats should take back all the concessions they granted the Bush Republicans, and tell them to put up! or shut up!
Everyone, start calling and contacting these Bush Republicans and tell them to stop blocking President Obama, and the Democrats recovery plan. And stop trying to block, and corrupt healthcare reform. Tell them to get on board with President Obama and the Democrats, or GET OUT!!
If these Bush Republicans refuse to cooperate I want all of you to immediately begin the process of removing them from office by every legal means possible. Including impeachment, and recall. I want you to bring the full weight and power of the movement down on their heads that swept President Obama, and the Democrats into control of the whitehouse, and congress. Take no prisoners. Use all the techniques you learned over this past historic election. Be flexible, creative, adaptable, and relentless like you were in the past.
To my cyber warriors I call on you again. You are among the best and the brightest. I call on you to move this fight from the cyber world to the living rooms, dens, and work places of the voters these Bush Republicans misrepresent. I know I can count on you. This is a fight worth fighting.
To my fellow World citizens. As an American I invite, and welcome you and your advise, input, and help. By delaying Americas recovery, and healthcare reform, these Bush Republicans are delaying our commitment to your recovery, and to being the better America for you that we aspire too.
I had hoped it would not come to this after our historic election. I had hoped that the Bush Republicans would respect the overpowering will of the people, and the World. But I guess not. All the Bush Republicans really care about is them-selves. Well, SO BE IT! Lets finish the job.
Sincerely

jacksmith: How did the Bush Republican henchmen prevent them from declaring their income and paying their taxes? How does that work? Also, Daschle was a healthcare lobbyist. He prevented himself from paying his taxes? That makes you angry. I am angry, too. For all these years I have had to declare all of my income and pay all of my taxes. I wish the Bush Republican henchmen would go to work on me.
jacksmith: I am way behind in replying to comments but you seem so upset that I thought to let you know that I have no loyalty to either Democrats or Republicans. I write it as I see it. If you want to read my articles about disapproval of Bush, you can check out the ones I have written about his presidency.
The point I am making in my articles about Obama's cabinet is that it is making him look inept. He has made the mistake of gathering around him the politicians who supported him against Hillary Clinton instead of choosing people who would not have turned his first weeks in office into a literal disaster. He is using Chicago tactics in Washington and it is not working.
If Obama doesn't wise up soon and look to people who will guide him wisely, he will be a one-term president. Those people are not Pelosi or Reid or Emanuel.
If we excuse not paying federal taxes for nominees for cabinet posts, it sends a message that there are two sets or rules, one for them and one for ordinary Americans.
