Obama has totally botched his transition, with yet another one of his picks being under a dark ethical cloud. The latest is his pick for Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, who failed to pay $34,000 in taxes from 2001-2004.
Most of the taxes were paid back shortly before he was “nominated,” after Obama’s transition team discovered it, but what really gets me is that they kept it quiet. For someone who claims be about openness and transparency, this proves that secrecy and lies will be common elements of Obama’s administration.
