Oh sure, now Barry bans tax cheats from government service

Does this mean that Charlie Rangel is fired?

Today, President Obama will direct the Office of Management and Budget, together with the Treasury Department and other federal agencies, to take steps to block contractors who are delinquent on their taxes from receiving new government contracts. He will also direct the IRS to conduct a review of the overall accuracy of companies' claims about tax delinquency to be sure that when a company says it's paying taxes, it is telling the truth.

I'll bet Barry said it with a straight face too.

"By issuing this directive, all of us in Washington will be required to be more responsible stewards of your tax dollars. All across this country, there are people who meet their obligations each and every day. You do your jobs. You support your families. You pay the taxes you owe — because it's a fundamental responsibility of citizenship," said President Barack Obama.

Tim Geithner, the IRS is on line 2.

Kathleen Sebelius, Tom Daschle, Gary Locke, Lael Brainard, Ron Kirk, Nancy Killifer, Gregory Craig, Capricia Marshall, Hilda Solis, Sam Sayyad, Caroline Atkinson, Rahm Emanuel, Pete Rouse — did I miss anyone? Yes folks, they're all current or potential members of Barry's inner circle, nominated by him for key government posts, and each and every one failed to comply with the tax code.

I guess "a fundamental responsibility of citizenship" doesn't apply when you're a friend of The One?

Like I said, Barry's newfound love of paying taxes doesn't seem to apply to bigshot Democrats like Charlie Rangel. Or Laura Richardson. Maxine Waters got a pass too. And who could forget Bob Torricelli?

Hey Barry, clean up your own house first. Because people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
