she is not only in debt, the debt is from embezzling from her company
CINCINNATI - A former bookkeeper praised by President Bush (news - web sites) for turning around her life with help from a social-services agency still owes at least $300,000 to the company she was convicted of stealing from, according to court records and the business owner.
Susan Morin, owner of Gorman's Supply Inc. in suburban Cincinnati, said she was stunned to see Tami Jordan appear with Bush on television Monday. Morin's company had employed Jordan, 35, as a bookkeeper before she was convicted of theft and forgery in 2000. She was sentenced to three years in prison for having embezzled more than $300,000 from the company, according to court and prison records.

White House spokesman Jim Morrell said people who meet Bush on such visits are screened, but he declined to explain the process. Morrell said he didn't know if Bush aides knew of Jordan's debt in advance.
Neil Tilow, president of Talbert House, declined to comment Thursday. Jordan could not be reached for comment. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=ap/bush_ex_convictBirds of a feather........
