Nonetheless, President Obama is taking responsibility for his administrations mistakes in the handling of many top officials being nominated for key positions within the Obama administrations that have tax problems. President Obama admitted in interviews that it is his fault and he has sent the wrong signal to the America people that prominent people don’t have to pay taxes but the rest of America does. That is a step in the right direction for the Obama administration. President Obama is stepping up and accepting responsibility for his own administration mistake in handling many of these top notch officials they wanted to hold key cabinet positions.
President Barack Obama took responsibility for how his administration handled the tax issue and that is to be commended. So the American people do need to have a little patience with the Obama administration because he won’t change D.C. over night. However President Obama can make changes in his own administration and how they handle future nominations. Therefore give President Obama a hand for taking the blame with his nominees who had tax issues.
Nonetheless, the real question that should have been asked President Obama during his interviews is why his administration is accepting lobbyists in top notch staff positions. That is what President Obama should be talking about and accepting responsibility for going back on his campaign pledge of no lobbyists will run his campaign or administration. However President Obama has not really been held to that fire because if people really did their own research, they would find that many lobbyists were in key advisors during his campaign just like lobbyists were a part of McCain’s campaign.
Now that Obama is President, his administration has can’t hide the hiring of lobbyists because Obama’s administration has vowed to have more transparency. That’s why Obama must be commended for the transparency he has delivered so far. But at the same time, President Obama must not have a double standard within his administration as it has been perceived as right now. The tax issues with a couple of nominees has put a dent in President Obama’s approval rating but at the same time, the issue of hiring lobbyists to key staff positions in various departments of government is another thing that is breaking Obama’s ethical rules he laid out from day one. Therefore if President Obama doesn’t get back the ethical rules he put in place and laid out in a press conference to the America people and the media than many will truly believe that change has not come to D.C.
President Barack Obama did take responsibility for the tax issues but he needs to now take responsibility for the hiring of lobbyists for key positions within many government departments. President Obama did take a step in the right direction and should be commended for his efforts to let the American people know that it is his fault nominees with tax issues were even thought about being hired. So let’s hope that no more nominees of President Obama have tax issues and that this issue is put to rest for good. However President Obama does need to answer why his administration is bending their own rules to allow lobbyists to work for them. That is something that we the American people should demand answers to.
President Barack Obama we believed in you and your campaign promises to us so don’t go mute on issues like this, hoping that the media doesn’t keep talking about. We the American people need to keep talking about it and we need to make sure the media keeps bringing up as well. Shows like Campbell Brown No Bias, No Bull and Lou Dobbs Tonight on CNN should be commended for holding President Obama to the fire on his words. Therefore President Obama, we the American people need for you to take responsibility and answer the question on why lobbyists are being hired within your administration.
President Barack Obama is taking responsibility but a whole lot more needs to take place. President Obama should be given more grace time to turn around D.C. but he shouldn’t be given grace time in taking responsibility on the issues that are plaguing his administration’s own ethical rules. President Obama needs to answer the question about lobbyist but we shall see if this just gets swipe under the rug or will President Obama feet be held to the fire on this issue as much as it was held to the fire on the tax issues.
Time will tell all things but as for now, the verdict is still out on President Obama’s administration as well as how much responsibility Obama will take on a couple of missteps that has administration have made. So let’s have patience in some areas regarding President Obama but in ethical areas, we need answers now President Obama. Give us more responsibility President Obama so that we can know why lobbyists are being hired to key staff positions within your administration. For now, we will wait to pass complete judgment on your administration President Obama but we need more transparency in regards to these ethical problems that keep arising. Take responsibility a step further President Barack Obama and tell us why lobbyists are working for your administration after how you talked about them while on the campaign trail.
