Another Obama appointee on leave of absence
Hot Air ^ | MARCH 27, 2009 | ED MORRISSEY

Another high-ranking official in the Obama administration has had to leave his position, and in this case, one has to wonder how he got the job in the first place. Scott Polakoff, the top bank regulator for the Treasury, has taken a leave of absence after internal audits uncovered his allowance of backdated capital infusions, which could amount to cooking the books for IndyMac and other institutions. But the OTS chief had also been responsible for regulating AIG as well (via The Boss):

Maybe they could go to Oakland California and hire people. There isn’t an honest person there.

I could say I would get back to you when is SCREAMING FRONT PAGE NEWS like it would be for a Bush appointee.

But then I would like to post again sometime in this lifetime.

Not only that, but also the most incompetent.

He had the most corrupt "regime" in American history even before he'd been sworn into office.

He still can't get good people to work for him.

I live and work there. I'm honest most of the time.

But I know what you mean. It's a literally a battle for control of the city between honest law abiding folks and thugs/gangsters and their enablers at city hall.

You are in Oakland? What can you tell me about the Pastor Walter Hoye situation? I know he is currently serving a 20 day sentence for the crime of standing outside the abortion mill with a little cardboard sign.

Connect the points and a pattern of collusion and duplicity starts to emerge. IndyBank was just bought by Soros in a sweet deal with significant upside gain when the economy rebounds (which it will). AIG paid out Billions to foreign entities with our tax dollars. AIG just gave out $200 mil in bonus money. Could this be hiding the source of all of Obama’s foreign donations? I am smelling something rotten in ObamaLamaLand.

“They still got plenty of time to pass that record”

I think they will set the unethical bar to a new high and that it will be out of reach much like Wayne Gretzky, Jerry Rice and Florence Griffith Joyner’s records.

Another crook in BO’s inner circle. At this rate, he’ll pass the old record set by Clintoon in his first six months in office. Chicago politics at its finest.

These guys need to go on a LONG leave of absence, in a fun little place called a prison cell.

Rumor has it that Geithner got PO’d because during his testimony last week Polakoff dissed Treasury’s regulatroy reform plan (or lack there of), as being made up as they go along.
