President Obama's pick to be the Army's top lawyer withdrew after failing to disclose Fannie Mae as his former employer in a document submitted as part of his nomination process.

Donald Remy caught heat from the Senate Armed Services Committee for not disclosing his ties to the troubled mortgage giant, instead describing his tenure at Fannie Mae as a 'major U.S. company.'

He had mentioned, by name, other companies for which he has worked on his work history provided to the committee.

Remy called the omission a 'mistake' in a written response to Senate follow-up questions after his confirmation hearing in February.

I’m wondering where all those folks are who were telling us all about Obama’s unassailable integrity before he came into office. Are they still bragging about the purity of his administration, where one must be a tax cheat or a lobbyist, it seems?

Other than the Fannie Mae issue, may also have been that this lawyer knew that he would be doing a whole lot of bending over, especially given Barry’s penchant for frakin’ over the military, CIA, etc. Apparently, Barry was not offering KY as a part of the benefits package?

That Obomba sure can pick 'em!

Everything this psychotic does turns to crap, but Americans are on the losing end as the nation further descends into the murky depths of Marxism.

All his picks are like him. They fail to disclose.

I just love the way the MSM finds other ways to put it.

Failing to disclose...

Snort.

Liberals are pond scum. But it doesn't stick to them.

However they do look slimy.
