Neither do I, usually. But when was the last time we saw an incoming administration with such high expectations? And when was the last time we combed through each cabinet selection with a fine tooth comb? Not in my lifetime, that's for sure.

No, I'm not suggesting that the President is responsible for these folks' actions, but I do think his theme has taken somewhat of a hit.

As far as Dems taxing the rich and cheating on their taxes? Yeah, I'm sure this is true across the board.
