Default Obama's selection for treasury secretary has his own issues...

Hrm :hmm: I thought it was "our patriotic duty" to pay our taxes...

Only if you're a republican or independent. Apparently democrats are exempt from that.

The house keeper is an illegal No need to pay taxes without a SS#. This dude was looking to get over. Seems every pick of Barry's is looking like a turd. Can't polish a turd. It just smears.

Thanks.

So, which is worse; the fact that he has tax inconsistencies or that I'm not surprised in the least?:hmm:

I'd say it's the egg on Enigmas face. You can see that he's been reduced to catty little one line personal snipes that do nothing to defend his sides rather poor political choices.

If only it were that simple. You've certainly had enough experience to know that it will take much more than that to stop a liberal, right? A few inconsistencies here, a few hundred billion there..... it's all in our best interests

Still, I wouldn't say that there's any egg on any Democrat's face just yet. This kind of thing is not without precedent on the conservative side of the fence, either. Let's see how it plays out. No matter the outcome, I'll bet you $50 that Obama is hailed as one of the greatest Presidents we ever had, no matter what happens. I'll even adjust it for rampant inflation. Heck, let me step that up. I'll give you $50 if he isn't hailed as one of the greatest presidents ever even if he brings us to the brink of nuclear war. Not that I think he will, but there's a precedent for such a thing

What an amusing bunch....

August, I know you want to play sonny, but Enigma's a busy man right now. Work and all that. Try to understand.

P.S - "My side" has been reduced to the Presidency of the United states, and control of the senate. Your "side" has been reduced to losing to SNL performers and bickering on internet message boards. Eggs on my face? Nice try.

My side is the American side, you're the political partisan here. I just thought that since you chose to post in this thread that you would be as eager to defend your parties political gaffes as you are to attack the other side. Guess not.

But do keep up the childish insults. Your emo rage makes me feel warm all over...
