I am extremely impressed that BHO apologized for nomination of Tim Daschle to the HHS Secretary. I don’t remember his predecessor ever being so candid.
Now let’s hope he learns from this experiece and starts paying more attention to the details.
Larry Kudlow of the famed Kudlow and Company is calling for Geithner to step down as well: Time for Tim Geithner to Step Down, Too
My compliments to Mr. Nick Anderson for the excellent cartoon!
It is good that Mr. Daschle had the sense to withdraw his nomination as HHS secretary. He was foolish to pursue the job under the cloud of being a tax cheat. I see that Nancy Killefer, nominated by President Barack Hussein Obama to be the federal government’s first chief performance officer also has withdrawn her nomination due to tax payment problems.
What is with these major public leaders and their ability to pay their taxes. Have they ever heard of H&R Block? Even most of the computerized tax programs would have found Mr. Daschle’s limo driver problem. These people are either idiots or they are cheats.
MR. PRESIDENT – GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND DO A PROPER JOB OF VETTING YOUR NOMINEES AND WHEN YOU FIND A PROBLEM LIKE THIS – DROP THEM LIKE A HOT POTATO!
BHO, now is beginning to look like a fool with three tax evaders as nominees. I think that his promise for a change is being replaced by a promise of corruption and fools.
I guess this only holds when you are actually in office. Once you are in the private sector, taking money from corporations in excess of $1M per year, and being chauffeured around DC it no longer applies.
“Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter. ” Sen. Tom Daschle, Congressional Record, May 7, 1998, p. S4507.
Tim Daschle should remove his name from consideration as the HHS Secretary. He is an embarrassment to politicians, private citizens, and President Barack Hussein Obama.
This is simply another testimony to the fact that BHO is simply the most inexperienced President ever and is being controlled by forces that may not have the best interest of the country.
There seems to be a general trend lately that Barack Hussein Obama (BHO) is not really running things in the current administration. Let’s point out a few examples:
Of course, as I say in my About message above, I may be wrong. But that would mean that BHO is simply naive and foolish in his selections. I prefer to believe that BHO does have the wisdom to do the job. Even though this quote by Robert Gibbs, the press secretary, gives me pause: “The president believes that nobody is perfect, but that nobody is trying to hide anything.” While the former is true, I really have a hard time fathoming that anyone over the age of 14 believes the latter – didn’t the guy ever date?
