Just two days after she revealed that she owed nearly $8,000 in back
taxes, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius faced largely friendly questioning from the Senate Finance Committee Thursday – with no questions at all asked about her tax situation. The committee has jurisdiction over tax issues. What’s more, only 11 senators – seven Democrats and four Republicans – out of a total 23 committee members had questions for Sebelius, who is President Obama’s choice to be secretary of health and human services. The sparse attendance and short, cordial exchanges between senators and Sebelius was surprising, since the same committee grilled another Obama nominee with tax problems in February -- current Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Sebelius, who had appeared Tuesday before Sen. Edward Kennedy’s (D- Mass.) Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, was called before the Finance Committee because it oversees Medicare and Medicaid, two of the largest programs HHS administers. Geithner had faced withering questions from Senate Republicans during his contentious confirmation hearing, questions that eventually led to his now famous admission that his use of tax preparation software TurboTax might have led to his failure to pay nearly $35,000 in taxes. Sebelius, however, faced no such questioning from the Senate’s tax committee, despite her admission that she could not document claimed charitable donations and had improperly deducted mortgage interest on a home she no longer owned. The only mention of Sebelius' financial issues came from the governor herself, in response to committee chairman Max Baucus, who asked whether anything in her background might prevent her from executing her duties. "Well senator, there were a couple of stocks found in my husband's portfolio which have been identified by the ethics officer and we have committed to, if I'm confirmed, divesting those stocks," Sebelius admitted. Only four of the committee’s 10 Republican members – Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa; Olympia Snowe of Maine; Pat Roberts of Kansas and Mike Enzi of Wyoming -- had any questions for Sebelius. None of those questions involved Sebelius' tax situation. Seven Democrats expressed satisfaction with her nomination -- and told the nominee they hope that she will be easily confirmed.

[...] http://www.cnsnews.com/public/conten...x?RsrcID=46086 The highest levels of the Obama administration are infested with members of a shadowy, elitist cabal intent on installing a one-world government that subverts the will of the American people. It sounds crazy, but that’s what a group of very persistent conspiracy theorists insists, and they point to President Obama’s nominee for Health and Human Services Secretary, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, as the latest piece of evidence supporting their claims. It turns out that Sebelius – like top administration economists Timothy Geithner, Larry Summers and Paul Volcker, as well as leading Obama diplomats Richard Holbrooke and Dennis Ross – is a Bilderberger. That is, she is someone who has participated in the annual invitation- only conference held by an elite international organization known as the Bilderberg group. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/20010.html 0baMa0's WHITE HOUSE WEST WING AIDES MADE MILLIONS FROM BAILED-OUT BANKS... http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/20889.html |
