Tax Season? and throwing out tradition

How does Obama intend to fix the economy when he appoints to his cabinet several people who should all be charged with tax evasion? And where does Geitner get the cajones to proclaim that they are going to crack down on tax evaders. Clean thine own house first Obama!

This might be old news to most everybody, but I had the chance to ruminate on it this week: It seems that Obama intends to spit in the face of 164 years of tradition by no longer having the United States Marine Band play Hail to the Chief whenever he enters. Instead, it appears he is replacing it with Sting's "Desert Rose". If he insists on changing the song, perhaps "Its the End of the World as We Know it" would be a more appropriate/accurate choice. One reporter's feelings on Obama's lack of respect for tradition and and the Marine Core Band, as well as the relaxation of the dress code, can be found here.

ditto to Ashley (or Aaron). When's the Second Coming gonna happen??
And the fact that a ton of Obama's picks for cabinet members have tax problems just makes me so mad!
He's only been in office a couple months and everything we hear about him is just more and more ridiculous!
