STAGGERING HYPOCRISY

How about talking about the economy or Obama's lack of foreign policy.

First I think we need to talk about posting pictures in lieu of facts issue.

STAGGERING HYPOCRISY

You've got to ask yourself WHY?  Didn't Ms. Why is Ms. Sebelious not asked to resign?  Sebelious sign Obama's ethic pledge, she sure did.  I guess Obama pulled another one over the citizens that voted for him.  He was ALL TALK about this ethic's pledge, but now you see it means nothing.  Obama and his administration are the biggest joke there has ever been in Washington.

White House indicates Sebelius won't be punished over Hatch Act violation

The White House indicated that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen  Sebelius would probably not be punished, after federal investigators determined  she had violated the law when she campaigned earlier this year for President  Obama.

Sebelius broke the law by making "extemporaneous partisan remarks" during a  speech in February at a Human Rights Campaign Event in Charlotte, N.C.,  according to the Office of Special Counsel (OSC). She made the comments in the  city that would later host the Democratic National Convention.

White House spokesman Eric Schultz explained in a statement that the  administration has already taken action on the matter, though, putting Sebelius  through training and making sure taxpayers were reimbursed.

"As the Office of Special Counsel has noted, these were extemporaneous  remarks, the Health and Human Services Department has since reclassified the  event to meet the correct standard, the U.S. Treasury has been reimbursed and  Secretary Sebelius has met with ethics experts to ensure this never happens  again," Schultz said.

cindi, how long are you going to remain on the titanic? I read an article this morning where even many of the stalwart GOP are abandoning ship. As it was put in the article, many in the GOP are having buyers remorse. They wish, when it comes to Romney/Ryan, that there was a return policy. Hand in there cindi you old bilge rat!

STAGGERING HYPOCRISY

Taken together, the findings represent a serious blow to a White House already reeling from the politically damaging effects of the slow government response to Hurricane Katrina, the continuing bloodshed in Iraq, the ongoing criticism of its since-repudiated claims that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and the bungled nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

The ethics findings may be particularly upsetting to a president who came to office in 2000 vowing to restore integrity and honor to a White House that he said had been tainted by the recurring scandals of the Clinton years.
