A critic of one candidate’s tax policy has tax lines. That candidate’s campaign treasurer (and his companies) has tax liens (via Patterico via Instapundit).
Which story does the media report?
I’ll give you a clue, the one that is less relevant to the candidate’s ability to govern. If you didn’t believe the media was in the tank for Obama before, well, ask yourself this, shouldn’t it matter more that his campaign treasurer has a problem paying taxes than that critic has tax problems?
Makes you wonder about the Obama campaign’s fundraising shenanigans. And about what kind of people Obama would appoint to the Treasury Department if elected.
UPDATE:Â Jim Geraghty: “Think about it. In 24 hours, we’ve learned more unflattering details about a guy who asked Obama a question and walked away unpersuaded than almost any of his campaign staff or associates.”
Since Obama and Biden both scream that paying your taxes is patriotic, why are they supporting and employing someone who by their own standards is unpatriotic and a criminal?
Answer: Charlie Rangel.
Of course it matters!! Your associates are a mirror of
your own character. Just like it matters about Bill Ayers
and wife, Rev. Wright, Muslim associates, Kenya relative’ Odinga’s violence, association with the
ACORN group, unwillingness to prove who Obama is,
not giving out school records and birth documents.
Present Voting?, ultra liberal views–his promise to spread the wealth–it’s not his to take nor his to say
where wealth goes. How did he acquire is home and his
deals with Resko and related Arab finances, as well as where did his campaign funds really come from?
