Now that US Treasury Secretary has become one of the most powerful
positions in the world, it would be nice to have someone with
integrity in the position. Instead we have tax cheat Timothy Geithner,
who after promising to keep lobbyists' snouts out of the $700 billion
TARP trough, promptly hired Goldman Sachs lobbyist Mark Patterson to
serve as his Chief of Staff.
Goldman Sachs has already gobbled up at least $10 billion of the
bailout loot. My guess is, that was only the appetizer.
Patterson isn't the only prominent lobbyist to find a comfy home in
our new government. White House aide Cecilia Munoz lobbied just last
year for the Hispanic answer to the Black Panthers, the National
Council of La Raza ("the race"). Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has
been lobbying for one of the most malignant cancers eating away at our
society, the NEA.
Obama promised transparency — and the rot that characterizes his
regime is admittedly transparent.
