Are Bribery & Tax Evasion Requirements for Obama Appointees?

If President Bush, or any Republican president, appointed the questionable people Obama does, they would have been "skinned alive" by the press and public. You even might have heard whispers (maybe even shouts) of "impeachment."

However, with Obama, it seems to be a requirement...that they're tax evaders or have accepted bribes (at least some type of fee) from companies they'll be affecting. Tax evader Timothy Geithner(who paid up when caught as he was scrutinized for the Treasury Secretary post) has sailed right through because he was the necessary man for the job. In fact, some said he was the only one could handle all the bailouts. Is he teaching Tax Evasion 101 on the side? Perhaps to all the people in Obama's administration as a required course?

The latest to make the news is Lawerence H. Summers, top economic advisor to Obama, who accepted millions in payment from the Wall Street companies he'll be involved in with as part of his job. It would seem there is a great conflict of interest here. He certainly would have been black balled if this were the Bush era.

But Obama can sail right on with tax evaders (would they have paid up if they hadn't been caught?) and paid off officials but nary a word of criticism from Congressional Democrats and his "in the pocket" media.

This certainly speaks ill for the ethics of the Obama Administration. This also sets the example that certain people can cheat, steal, and accept bribes and not be questioned and sends a pall of immorality over our country.
