Washington (AP) - The Senate Finance Committee has cleared the nomination of Timothy Geithner as treasury secretary despite unhappiness over his mistakes in paying his taxes.
The committee approved the nomination on an 18-5 vote, sending it to the full Senate. President Barack Obama is hoping for quick approval so that the point man for the administration's economic rescue effort can begin work.

This is good news! I doubt President Obama will have much difficulty getting most of his picks confirmed.

To accuse one of cheating requires establishing his/her intent to do so.

He's a tax cheat. Or a complete idiot.
The proof is in. Sorry you missed it. -

He's a 5-digit tax cheat. It'll work well with the education secretary who's overseen the worst performing public schools in America, a Sec of State that has conflicts of interest unlike any other, and a socialist in charge of the environment.
GOBAMA!!!!! -
So I guess now cheating on your taxes has governement approval.

He made mistakes on his taxes. After they were discovered, he paid the taxes he owed. -

Obama wants to put a tax cheat in charge of the federal treasury. Makes a lot of sense to liberals and democrats.:tonofbricks: -

I wrote both of my senators to reject this creep. Either he is a dishonest crook or completely careless both of which disqualifies him. He knew this money was owed and didnt pay up until he was appointed by obama.

Another democrat five digit tax cheat, Charlie Rangel, is still chairman of the powerful tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.

What's really amazing is how often they keep or attempt to place their crooks in positions of power directly related to their criminal acts. -

No kidding. They want to put Bush in jail for a war they had going the whole time Clinton was president.
The willful blindness is astounding.
Praise God he put me in a fundie church. -
The Treasury Secretary-designee is not a crook, carpro, unless you know where a court has found him guilty of something.
Of course, some right-wingers have made hyperbole into an art form. -

Your blindness is astounding.
If you were a five digit tax cheat, you'd be a crook. Same with me. -
Not at all, Bro. Curtis. I am enough respect for the justice process in this country to not say such a thing.
