Crooked recovery road
Waterbury Republican-American ^ | March 9, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 03/09/2009 8:31:00 AM PDT by Graybeard58

President Obama's new Economic Recovery Advisory Board includes a subprime-mortgage pioneer who drove her Chicago-area bank into bankruptcy; a national union boss who took the Fifth Amendment on three occasions when asked by federal investigators what he knew about a money-laundering scheme involving the Teamsters union and the Democratic Party while Sen. Christopher J. Dodd was its general chairman; the president and CEO of a Swiss bank under investigation for helping rich Americans dodge income taxes; and assorted deep-pocketed Obama campaign donors with conflicts of interest, the Washington Times reports.

No wonder investors have such little faith in the president's scattershot recovery plan.

This stuff will be priceless, in campaign ads.

Obama could claim innocence, as a man with very little resume.

“Guilt by Association” won't cut it anymore, when he HIRES these people or appoints them to advisory positions.

How come NObama has NOT pardoned O J Simpson and put him in charge of the new department of Protecting Women Subjected to Abuse?
