WASHINGTON (November 18, 2009)--President Barack Obama's nominee for a top job Treasury Department job is having tax problems.
A congressional report says Mr. Obama's nominee for undersecretary of the Treasury for international affairs, Lael Brainard, was late in paying real estate taxes in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
The report by the Senate Finance Committee staff also challenges the accuracy of a deduction Brainard claimed for running an office from her home.
The challenge led Brainard to reduce the deduction on her 2008 return.
The committee's top Republican is unhappy that the committee staff had to submit 10 sets of questions to Brainard before getting complete information about the discrepancies.
Brainard is the fifth Obama nominee to have tax problems.

I have no problem signing my name to Anything I post. Maybe someone has thought the post I made in the past may have some merit. Impersonation is one of the highest form of Flattery. I guess we will see what Americans really think in 2010.
To Texan I agree with Observer... you do appear to be mysogonistic and your name diminishes all who reside in our great state. In regards to the article.... Republicans and Democrats alike have held political positions and had tax issues. Funny how this automaticly reflects poorly on Obama. He's not the one that didn't pay his taxes *l*
