Obama Calls Treasury Secretary’s Failure to Pay Taxes an ‘Innocent Mistake’

The president-elect, asked about the situation on Wednesday, said, "Look is this an embarrassment for him? Yes. He said so himself. But it was an innocent mistake. It is a mistake that is commonly made for people who are working internationally or for international institutions. It has been corrected. He paid the penalties." Right ...... just a little mistake for "forgetting" to pay his taxes for 3-4 years by the guy who Obama wants to head up our Treasury Dept. !!!!! INCREDIBLE
