Another Tainted Obama Pick

From The Washington Times comes a story about another of Obama's future felons, Ron Sims. Barack's choice for the deputy secretary of HUD is in deep doo doo for withholding documents detailing taxpayer costs for a new professional football stadium in Seattle. However, last week a Senate committee forwarded Sims' nomination to the full Senate without asking the nominee a single question. Why bother? Barack says he's ok so that's good enough.

Our president sure knows how to pick them and we'll be told this should have nothing to do with his managing billions of taxpayer dollars. After all, HUD is already known for being corrupt so why should we even bother with a facade of transparent, honest government. Washington, Chicago, what's the difference?
