Labor secretary Solis delayed in confirmation because of her husbands tax problems..
oh.. and she is an Ex. LOBBYIST
This would be getting old if it wasn't so damn funny
When he still sits on his "ethics and accountability" high horse. (starting to look like a lame donkey by now)
It started as "yes we can".. then it became Yes we did..
Now it's "I screwed up"

LIES!!! LIES!!! She was never a lobbyist and unless there's guilt by association, she didn't do anything wrong. You really should quit reading right-wing propaganda.-
I haven't heard anything about this myself. I'll wait till I see something concrete.

Obama '08.. YES WE CAN
Obama '09.. NO YOU DIDN'T

CSI is spinning this hard, and his Schadenfreude is out of place, I think, but he isn't making up the story.

...President Barack Obama pledged in TV interviews this week that he would "make sure that we're not screwing up again" in the vetting process.
...The postponement also came amid ongoing complaints from some Republican lawmakers about Solis' role as a board member and treasurer of American Rights at Work, or ARW, a group pushing for passage of a bill to make it easier for workers to form unions.
Another concern from Republicans is that Solis did not mention her positions with the group on her financial disclosure statements to the House for the years 2004 through 2007.
Vietor called it the result of "an unintentional oversight."
Another "misstake"... it's like the blind leading the blind up there right now..
And I'm sure you think its out of place, must suck to have to defend this whole mess..
But in light of his statements on ethics and accountability, as well as this weeks "make sure we don't screw up" this is DAMN funny to those of us that were arguing his lack of experience to begin with. -

Ahhh now I understand why this is such a big deal. Can't have people forming unions if they want to! We're for free trade capitalism, so long as the individuals don't freely come to the conclusion that they want protections from corporations by forming a worker's union!
*snickers* -
Exactly, Anok. That was what I meant by spinning this hard.

I hate to support democrats but Hilda Solis has never been declared a Lobbyist in any Lobbying Disclosure Form by the House which can be looked up online. She has arguably lobbied for certain things politically but unfortunately this doesn't always meet the needed criteria.

@ anok & bassdem plan on these attacks ? why call it an attack ? why not exposing the truth ?

Oh, and then of course there is Democrat Rangel

No wonder the Dems are for higher taxes, doesn't matter if you never pay them.
This is just too rich!-
Wow that's nice... Seems like a lot of democrats getting in trouble for tax fraud in the past couple of weeks. This being the fourth story I've heard.
Speaking of which is there any for Republicans out there right now cause I haven't heard any? -
Me either.
Don't worry, as soon as one pops up. Sati and Mark will publish it. I'm sure they are searching every republican down to city commissions to find one this very second.. -
The reason you're not seeing it is because it is the Democrat's turn to be attacked. All attention is on them, and so the Repugs are slipping under the radar.
-
Yep. Plan on 4 years of these kinds of attacks. The last thing they want is to do any real work to get us out of this mess. One way to avoid the hard work is to gut Obama and his administration.
By the way, the OP could have posted this story with a little bit of tact, but he set it with a snarky tone. That's about his speed.
And there's no way I'm clicking a link to Fox News.

Hey dems need a good story right now as it's kind of hard to top Blagojevich.
Hmmm I need a look at this radar. Where's the radar?-
I have it, you can't see it.
-
Can I barter for it with a senate seat?
-
We have a good story. It's president Obama trying to do some good for our country. Imagine that.
-
No, I don't want a senate seat. Maybe something else...
-
ummm an old ukulele?
-
How about a set of fuel lines for my resto project?
-
Hey if you want to trade yourself your own item to show me the radar you got yourself a deal!
-
No-no, I don't have the fuel lines - I need them from you
-
SHHHHH!!!! It took a lot of work to convince Palin to go into her backyard and do this for me. I don't want Putin to catch on.
-
You're crazy!!
-
That's what everyone says about Palin too!

-
I am quite pissed off, enough to have posted about it, but thought it funny that someone satirically called it "Obama's sting operation".
I'll take tax evasion over outright corruption any day though, and so far as least the Repubs have a one up on that.-
But this candidate didn't evade taxes. Her husband did with his business income. I don't know about them, but I don't audit my wife's bookkeeping. That would be more than a little presumtuous on my part.
-
I don't know mark my parents both make huge incomes but they're taxes are done together even though my fathers corporation and my mothers - which is much smaller - are done separately. i think this thing is pretty prevalent among those with money and I'm glad it is coming out. I also thing Obama and maybe his team are pretty naive in their thinking that most people do the right thing all the time.
-
The article i saw noted the husband as the "sole proprietor" if that is correct then there is a passthrough entity. Which means that there is no difference between his taxes and his company taxes.
So then it becomes a matter of wether they have separate economies. Which isn't that likely.
Legal, maybe, ethical. Nope. -
Mr and Mrs. McCain have separate economies.
His info was made public, hers kept private. I wonder if Mrs McCain ever dodged any taxes? -
LMAO..
the reporters tried to call the childrens friends parents to get any dirt they could.
If there were tax problems, I'd guess they would have found them first. -
Who the children? I mean, they're nosy critters to be sure....but I just don't think they'd have that kind of access
-
-
The children's friend's parents. mccain kids friend parental units to be exact.
