George's Bottom Line: Third Top Treasury Pick Withdraws From Consideration

Quote:
It's the third withdrawal of a top Treasury Department staff pick in less than a week.
I reported last week that Cohen was likely to be officially nominated for the Deputy Treasury Secretary position.

Cohen has been a counsel to just about every major player on Wall Street, which perhaps complicated his nomination.

Now, the nomination is off.
Surprise, surprise.

I've never seen so many people withdraw their names from consideration in past administrations. What is it that people are seeing in the Obama administration that they don't like? Why have so many withdrawn their names?

Good Lord! Obama only has the worse-of-the-worse that is willing to work in his administration...and most of them are Chicago thugs and tax cheats. FRaud Obama can't even hire his aunt to help out...because she's illegal and taking taxpayer handouts to live in the U.S. What a bunch of crap this Obama fool is!!!

Obama really is for small government; he has already cut the Treasury Department by 18 people.

England's been trying to get ahold of the Treasury Department, but no one seems to answer.

Hah. Did you even read the title of your link?? Or the article? It clearly states that Obama's appointee is not a target of the raid, and had no part in anything, and it was her FORMER office.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The FBI raided the former office of Obama administration official Vivek Kundra and arrested two people in a corruption probe on Thursday, but Kundra is not a target of the investigation, a spokeswoman for Washington's mayor said.
