It's still early, but it's becoming clear that the Obama administration will down in history as one of the most corrupt in the nation's history.
A must-read editorial in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review about corruption in the Obama White House, leading all the way to Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
The Democrats truly are the party of corruption and continue to sink this country further into an economic abyss, while lining their own pockets.
From the Tribune-Review:
A White House that insists it's part of the solution to our economic crisis doesn't have any credibility when it's harboring one of the poster children for the problem.Originally posted at TONY PHYRILLAS
That's why President Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, should resign.
The Chicago Tribune reports that Mr. Emanuel, as a board member beginning in February 2000, was paid "at least $320,000 for a 14-month stint at Freddie Mac that required little effort" and, in our view, coincided with reprehensible corporate behavior.
"On Emanuel's watch, the board was told by executives of a plan to use accounting tricks to mislead shareholders," the newspaper reports. The goal was to make the mortgage giant look profitable on paper to help maximize annual bonuses for executives, it says.
Passive or active, Emanuel was a part of the problem. That he now is a member of an administration professing to be part of the solution is a farce and a hypocrisy that cannot be reconciled.
It's time for Rahm Emanuel to go.
