The Obama Democrat criminal cabal!
WASHINGTON - June 16, 2009 - Illegitimate President Barack Obama has consistently staffed his regime with thieves, liars and cheats. Below are just some of the activities of Obama’s criminal cabal so far, and we are not even six months into his term as illegitimate president.
$34,000: the amount of federal taxes that Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner (D) failed to pay during his employment at the International Monetary Fund despite receiving extra compensation and explanatory brochures that described his tax liabilities.
$75,000: the amount of money that the head of the powerful tax-writing committee, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) was forced to report on his taxes after the discovery that he has not reported income from a Dominican Republic rental property that he owns. His excuses for the failure started with blaming his wife, then his accountant, and finally the fact that he didn't speak Spanish.
$93,000: the increase in the amount of petty cash that each of our congressional representatives voted to give themselves in January 2009 during the height of an economic meltdown. That's a $40 + million INCREASE!
$133,900: the amount that Fannie Mae “invested” in Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.), head of the powerful Senate Banking Committee, presumably to repel oversight of the GSE prior to its meltdown. Said meltdown helped touch off the current economic crisis. In only a few years time, Fannie also "invested" over $105,000 in then-Senator Barack Obama.
$140,000: the amount of back taxes and interest that Cabinet nominee Tom Daschle was forced to cough up after the vetting process revealed significant, unexplained tax liabilities.
$356,000: the approximate amount of income and deductions that Tom Daschle was forced to report on his amended 2005 and 2007 tax returns after being caught cheating on his taxes. This includes $255,256 for the use of a car service, $83,333 in unreported income, and $14,963 in charitable contributions.
$800,000: the amount of "sweetheart" mortgages Senate Banking Chairman Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) received from Countrywide Financial, details of which he has refused to release despite months of promises to do so. Countrywide was once the nation's largest mortgage lender and linked to Government-Sponsored Entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Their meltdowns precipitated the current financial crisis. Just days ago in Pennsylvania, Countrywide was forced to pay $150,000,000 in mortgage assistance following "a state investigation that concluded that Countrywide relaxed its underwriting standards to sell risky loans to consumers who did not understand them and could not afford them."
$1,000,000: the estimated amount of donations by Denise Rich, wife of fugitive Marc Rich, to Democrat interests and the William J. Clinton Foundation in an apparent quid pro quo deal that resulted in a pardon for Mr. Rich. The pardon was reviewed and blessed by Obama Attorney General and then Deputy AG Eric Holder, despite numerous requests by government officials to deny it.
$12,000,000: the amount of TARP money provided to community bank OneUnited despite the fact that it did not qualify for funds and was "under attack from its regulators for allegations of poor lending practices and executive-pay abuses." It turns out that Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Kalif.), a key contributor to the Fannie Mae meltdown, just happens to be married to one of the bank's former directors.
$23,500,000: The upper range net worth of Rep. Allan Mollohan (D-W.V.) accumulated in four years time, according to The Washington Post, through earmarks of "tens of millions of dollars to groups associated with his own business partners."
$2,000,000,000: ($2 billion) the approximate amount of money that House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-Wisc.) is earmarking related to his son’s lobbying efforts. The son, Craig Obey, is "a top lobbyist for the nonprofit group" that would receive a roughly $2 billion component of the "stimulus" package.
$3,700,000,000: ($3.7 billion) not to be outdone, this is the estimated value of various defense contracts awarded to a company controlled by the husband of Rep. Diane Feinstein (D-Kalif.). Despite an obvious conflict-of-interest as "a member of the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee, Senator Feinstein voted for appropriations worth billions to her husband’s firms.”
$4,190,000,000: ($4.19 billion) the amount of money in the "stimulus" package devoted to fraudulent voter registration ACORN group under the auspices of "Community Stabilization Activities". ACORN is currently the subject of a RICO lawsuit in Ohio.
$1,646,000,000,000 ($1.646 trillion): the approximate amount of annual United States exports endangered by the "stimulus" package, which provides a "Buy American" stricture. According to international trade experts, a " U.S.-EU trade war looms", which could result in a worldwide economic Depression reminiscent of the one touched off by the protectionist Smoot-Hawley Act.
It's not just a culture of corruption; it's a culture of corruption and stupidity. Additionally, these folks appear to be above the law. All of the aforementioned are still in office, ruling like the royalty they consider themselves to be.
Remember… this all happened in just the FIRST QUARTER!!!
What the hell are we doing??
Ed. Note: When is enough, enough? Revolution Now! Independence Forever!
