I’m glad that one of the first things Obama did when he took office was to right the wrongs of the previous administration by signing executive orders stating the goals of a transparent administration guided by people who have no lobbying interests. Unfortunately, the second thing he did was to make an exception to this rule for messers Patterson and Lynn.
I am all for government transparency, and laud the efforts of this new administration; however, I do question the workability of these rules as we move forward.
The other things that Obama needs to work on are Geithner and Daschle. These gentlemen aren’t your run-of-the-mill citizens. They are smart people. Shouldn’t they have the money to hire accountants to make sure they aren’t cheating their once and future employer out out taxes?
I do my own taxes, and can appreciate one’s desire to do their own taxes, but come on – even my coworker officemate uses an accountant.
