There was just another Obama appointee who withdrew her name because of tax problems. Now I know why Democrats favor higher taxes, their not going to pay anyway.

Stunning yes, but am I surprised no. Mr. President, did you pick your future cabinet picks from a list of Americas most wanted, or from some post office pictures.
Six picks, Mr. President Richardson, Daschle, Halifax all crooks forced to resign. 3 down, 3 to go.
Gietner, tax cheat- Holder a man who helped the Clinton's sell pardons for cash, he also gave a pardon to terrorist- Hillary, takes millions from foreign governments, many who hate us and she gets a pass.
Mr. President, all six picks of yours should have been rejected. What a start.

Lois... Hold off... I don't suggest paying unless you're trying for an Obama nomination... then just feign ignorance so you won't have to pay penalties! LOL!

Dam' shame. I've seen "The Questionnaire." The only way Daschle got this far is... he lied. Once he did that, there was no way to know - until somebody betrayed a trust and/or did something illegal.

Excuse me, Micky, but isn't this the reason why we hold the appointment or nomination hearings to begin with? It digs up the dirt.

Daschle is no worse than most of 'em.
