Oh Snap-- Obama Official Nabbed for Bribery?

Well, first I wanted to make a few things clear. First, it appears that the official is a minor one, and the story is still developing. However, this was supposed to be the most transparant administration in history. However, things are looking a little Nixonesque. Think about it-- tax fraud-- Daschle and... Spiro Agnew. Corruption and not being a crook? Awesome.

But as for the matter at hand: It seemed like a minor security officer working for the President just needed to have $70,000 in his home. And the White House's chief of computers is on leave, as well.

Weird. Not too much has been splashed in the news. If this happened to Bush, it would be front and center, just like those "documents" stating he was AWOL in Vietnam. Good work, media.

Authorities say Acar and Bansal, along with others, defrauded the government through a variety of schemes, including billing the city for items that were never delivered and "ghost" contract employees who did not work. The scheme involved Acar approving falsified bills and splitting the money with vendors including Bansal, who submitted them, court documents alleged.

Bansal, a native of India who turns 42 next week, is a former city employee and the founder and chief executive of Advanced Integrated Technologies Corp. The company has offices in Washington and India and did more than $13 million in business with the District of Columbia government in the past five years, according to court documents.

One contract involved providing computer support for the city's Department of Motor Vehicles. The company also was given a contract to upgrade the city's human resources computer records and sold virus detection software to the city.

Why do I have the feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg?

Why is Obama Nominating All of these Crooks? I Have an Answer

Now, not everyone that President Obama has nominated to his cabinet have been terrible people, but it appears that the new President seems to be lax with his personal judgment. He is picking the cadre that will guide executive policy for at least four years.

But for some reason, some of these people are just... off. Geithner, Richardson, and now Daschle are all ethically challenged. Only one of them (Geithner) really has the competence to make up for this flaw. And Nancy Killefer is also withdrawing. And Governor Napolitano of Arizona is unfit for the position of Head of the Department of Homeland Security.

Is President Obama an idiot? Or is his staff incompetent?

Far from it.

President Obama is nominating a bunch of people with checkered pasts. His staff is very good at finding out information and keeping it secret. What may be happening is that President Obama knows that these people, if chosen, would owe him for their position. In turn, they would be subservient to him personally, and not as much to their positions.

Much of his cabinet is now subservient to the President, solidifying his power base. No longer is the executive branch the President advised and assisted by his cabinet, but appears to be transforming into a chamber of nepotism and incompetence.

Even Hillary Clinton factors in. Obama sees her as enemy number one and took her out of her influential position in the Senate. Now, she can't work on her signature issues: health care and women's issues. President Obama is expecting some failures in foreign policy over the next few years. Expect Secretary of State Clinton to be blamed for these. Any successes will be due to 'President Obama's foresight.'

Pay attention, this guy is smarter than you want to believe.

SATIRE: Daschle "Innocent" of Tax Fraud

Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle has been on the hot seat over the last week. Picked by President Obama as the next Secretary of Health and Human Services, the former Senator has been grilled over allegations of not paying taxes. Daschle, however, insists he is innocent.

"I sent the money I owed to the IRS with the prostitute that I hired for three years." Daschle told a Senate subcommittee on Monday.

"I don't know how many times I have to tell you, but half of my income was off the tax rolls, as I was selling cocaine."

Unfortunately for Daschle, Senate Republicans were not buying it. Texas Senator John Cornyn demanded that Daschle stop sidestepping the issue. "You are, uh, I say you are attempting to tell us that you're some sort of boy scout, but the real issue is that you can't pay, I say, you can't pay your taxes."

Daschle still attempted to defend himself. "Listen, to my former colleagues, I have proof that I am innocent. During 2004, I was too busy giving cigarettes to children to have been avoiding taxes. I spoke about it during that 2003 film I starred in, "Porkbarrel Sphincter," a poor attempt at Congressional pornography.

"I guess you might be right." said Maine Senator Olympia Snowe. "Tax evasion is a very minor crime for politicians."

Daschle was confirmed, 96-0. Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky was reportedly not able to vote. His office released a statement saying that this was due to "getting hammered."
