Is that the best he can do?

I've commented before on Obama's bent toward picking people who are dishonest. Geithner and several others in his administration have been quite lax on paying their taxes -- something you would think would be very important to a "public servant." His auto czar, Steven Rattner, has problems, too. His firm has been linked to federal and state investigations of millions of dollars in pension fund kickbacks.

Are these people the best Obama can do? If they are, does that mean there are no honest people anymore? I think the answer to both those questions is a resounding no. But when the man in charge has no character, he'll pick the same kind of personality to work for him. As my mama used to say, "Birds of a feather flock together."
