Waters may not be the only Democrat in trouble if this is true...

...House Ethics Committee suddenly postponed the trial of Maxine Waters on ethics violation because it found more evidence of direct intervention by her office to benefit the bank in which her husband owned a substantial interest.
Bombshell evidence may make Waters an ethics nightmare for Dems

Strange Tales of the Vampire Congress

Meet the Beltway bloodsuckers. They convene in the dead of night, when most ordinary mortals have left work and let their guard down or are lying asleep in bed. Pale-faced and insatiable, the nocturnal thieves do their nefarious business in backrooms and secret chambers. Their primary victims? Taxpayers, the free market and deliberative democracy.

Democratic leaders have been promising the most ethical, transparent, open and engaged administration for years. Instead, they have delivered a bleak and creepy legislative environment that could double as a "Twilight" movie set.

Why Sarah quit

Can you imagine having to go through this? We are allowed to know NOTHING about President Obama other than what he chose to write in his books...er, book (Bill Ayers wrote his first one for him...you know, on that single day they met in someone's living room). Everything else is completely locked up (shool records, birth records, medical records) and guarded by Perkins Coie, Obama's law firm.

But, hey, because of the liberal media and hard core left in this country, we know more about former Governor of Alaska and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin that we'll ever be allowed to know about a sitting president!

But find out why she (most probably) left before her term as Governor of Alaska was finished: Do Financial Disclosures Reveal Why Palin Resigned?

Are YOU fooled by Obama's moral arrogance?

Is he so obtuse not to see that he had just made a choice of ethics over science? Yet, unlike President Bush, who painstakingly explained the balance of ethical and scientific goods he was trying to achieve, Obama did not even pretend to make the case why some practices are morally permissible and others not.

This is not just intellectual laziness. It is the moral arrogance of a man who continuously dismisses his critics as ideological while he is guided exclusively by pragmatism (in economics, social policy, foreign policy) and science in medical ethics.
Morally Unserious in the Extreme

AP reports mounting ethics problems in new administration

Analysis: Democrats self-destructing over ethics
By LARRY MARGASAK

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration and the new Congress are quickly handing over to Republicans the same "culture of corruption" issue that Democrats used so effectively against the GOP before coming to power.

Freshman Sen. Roland Burris, D-Ill., is only the latest embarrassment.

Fast and furious

No one, it seems (including me) can keep up with the ever growing list of ethics problems and tax fraud in the Democrat Party...or, for that matter with the ever growing list of highly questionnable foreign policy moves they've been making since their Messiah took over our government.

Here's two more of those items from Gateway Pundit:

Obama removes Sanctions On Murderous Myanmar Regime

and

US Rep. Carnahan (D-MO) Sued For Not Paying Roofers

Now it's Obama's Chief of Staff with the tax problems!!!

RAHM'S 'RENT' IS JUST THE TIP OF ETHICS ICEBERG
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
February 17, 2009
NEWS broke last week that Rahm Emanuel, now White House chief of staff, lived rent- free for years in the home of Rep. Rosa De Lauro (D-Conn.) - and failed to disclose the gift, as congressional ethics rules mandate. But this is only the tip of Emanuel's previously undislosed ethics problems.
Morris closes with this
The president's chief of staff isn't subject to Senate confirmation, but his ethics still matter. Is this the change that we can depend on?
