WASHINGTON (AP) - President-elect Barack Obama's choice to run the Treasury Department and lead the economic rescue effort disclosed to senators Tuesday that he failed to pay $34,000 in taxes from 2001 to 2004, a last-minute complication in an otherwise smooth path to confirmation.

"He's dedicated his career to our country and served with honor, intelligence and distinction," incoming White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said. "That service should not be tarnished by honest mistakes,LMAO which, upon learning of them, he quickly addressed."

Geithner also didn't realize a housekeeper he paid in 2004 and 2005 did not have current employment documentation as an immigrant for the final three months she worked for him, the transition official said.

Yeah, it makes sense that they should think that way, doesn't it? Jeez, Obama hasn't even taken office yet and look at the puke that surrounds him.

I can't help but bring up the bruhaha when an ordinary citizen owed $1000 he didn't know he owed. I think he was some kind of plumber and it was front page news for weeks on end.

Typical liberal bias.
