and like all Dems, they blame it on someone else.
President Obama’s Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Tom Daschle have been getting some attention regarding their failure to pay taxes, but what about Al Franken?
Franken, who is still fighting incumbent GOP Sen. Norm Coleman for Minnesota’s Senate seat, failed to pay at least $70,000 in taxes to 17 states prior to running for office.
Minnesota’s Star Tribune reported Franken was paid to appear at a number of celebrity appearances across the country and file taxes appropriately in those states since 2003. Franken’s team released a spreadsheet to media detailing the debt through the campaign, but there has not been any verification Franken has actually paid them down yet.
Franken refused to answer questions and blamed his attorney Allen Chanzis for the error– much like Geithner blamed the mass-market tax software for his failure to pay $34,000 in taxes.

Seriously, it’s time for Obama to go. Contact your Reps. and get them to have a recall vote.

Don’t blame me! I didn’t vote for him! I wonder what kind of tax problems he has?

Don’t forget Bill Richardson pay for play, Bill Clinton refusing to take donations from foreign governments while his wife plays secretary of state; Eric Holder’s previous law firm representing most of the detainees and now he gets to change sides and decide their fate.
An Obama appointment free of scandal is not the norm but rather the exception.

This is funny. Here is the token one saying he will bring in the best. Best of what, not paying taxes. LOL LOL

He’ll be forgiven by the Libs. Then Obama and the libs will all hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
I just puked in my mouth a little bit.

ALL RIGHT, REPUBLICANS: BEFORE DEMOCRATS ANSWER YOUR QUESTION HOW ABOUT YOUR ANSWERING THE LAST 8 YEARS, DON’T BE JUST PLAIN LOSERS?
WMD; IRAK, BLACKWATER, Halliburton, ERON (BUSH, CHENEY, PERRY, AND SOME OTHER SATES AND TX FAMILIES WERE PART OF THE SCANDAL, ANSWER THIS ONE, TOO), JACK ABRAMOFF, TOM DELAY GAS PRICES, NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, TAX CUT TO THE 10%, SCOOTER, GONZALEZ, DUCT TAPE, VOTING MACHINES, 2000 FLORIDA ELETIONS, ETC
YOU SEE REPUBLICANS YOU HAVE A BIG TAIL THAT NEEDS TO BE CUT SHORT.
BEFORE YOU START ASKING QUESTIONS, HOW ABOUT ANSWERING YOUR OWN, FIRST
