Obama names “most fined” Washington State bureaucrat to HUD

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. ...
transparent and ethical?

Show me an honest democrat and I'll show you an aborted fetus.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

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....
