Obama Adviser Said to Be Tied to Pension Deal - NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/17/nyregion/17pension.html?partner=rss&emc=rss)

The man leading the Obama administration’s efforts to restructure the auto industry has been described in Securities and Exchange Commission documents as having arranged for his investment firm to pay more than $1 million to obtain New York State pension business.
Pay to play, corruption, tax evasion, anti-veteran statements....

...next thing you know they will try to build a high speed rail line with Chicago as the main hub.

So much for that highly acclaimed vetting process, huh?

Not sure what the article says, but it doesn't surprise me with politics anymore.

It's Hope and Change people.. live with it!

What the New York Times?! How dare they!

Typical MSM, I give very little thought to any of the drivel they write.

[Rocktar]

Typical Liberal/Socialist discounting anything that doesn't agree with their myopic world view.

I find it humorous that the same people who decry the MSM's liberal bias want to champion its stories when they agree with them and I am therefore a liberal/socialist (because they are equivalent)?

There really is nothing more insightful than an angry, ignorant, out-spoken forum-troll. Please continue.

I kind of view it as "If the MSM finally finds a problem with it.. maybe there is really something to it?"

Did someone forget to get this guy to complete that huge Obama embarass-proof background questionaire?

From the article it seems they were aware of the investigation:

Mr. Rattner did not respond to messages seeking comment. A Treasury Department spokeswoman did not address the allegations, but said in a statement, “During the transition, Mr. Rattner made us aware of the pending investigation.”
So it was vetted.

This is the fella that is in charge of how we deal with the failing auto industry. Maybe he can give some "incentives" to Fiat to buy Chrysler?

The vetting process has been terrible. The publicity of the vetting mistakes has been excellent as well

Sure. There is a certain logic (riddled with alzheimers, but logic nonetheless) to that. But that's not what Rocktard said.

You mean what ClydeR posts is unintentional? I think you might have the two switched.
