Barack Obama didn’t do much except run for President during his four years in the US Senate, but he did partner with Tom Coburn on transparency in budgeting.  That accomplishment allowed for some hope that Obama would work to make the federal government more transparent.  Unfortunately, as our friend Stefan Sharkansky reports from Sound Politics, Obama’s appointment of Ron Sims to the #2 position at HUD sends exactly the opposite message.  A court levied the biggest fine for illegal record withholding against Sims in Washington State history — and that record hasn’t finished yet:

    Sims is culpable for what may well become the largest fine for violations of public records laws in U.S. history: see Yousoufian, Armen

    My own public records suit against Sims (for delaying release of election records which revealed that King County officials unlawfully counted hundreds of ineligible ballots in the 2004 governor’s race) goes to trial in April. ...

Sure seems like Obama's appointing some rather unethical people. I wonder just what kind of dirt can be dug up on Obama. Did he cheat on his taxes?? After all, birds of a feather....
