Maybe The Big 0 needs to look closer to home and bring some of his Chicago cronies into the fold, to attain some level of honesty. :rotf:

The question I have is did Tiny Tom get a consolation pony? The least the messiah could have done is give him the pony parting prize.
Must suck to be a lying, tax dodging, cheat Democrat these days.

Looks like another Obamaite pick has tax woes too. What was that I heard Biden pronouncing during a campaign interview - "Paying taxes is patriotic". Good for me (us little people) but not good enough for thee.

His [Daschle's] withdrawal came just a few hours after another Obama nominee, Nancy Killefer, said she was withdrawing her nomination. Both had controversies with taxes and cited distractions over that as reasons for withdrawing.

...Over the last hour or so, Mitchell has been relating on MSNBC the substance and tenor of the conversation, and the picture emerges of a very upset former senator. In her first description of their conversation, Mitchell described Daschle as â€œemotionalâ€ and â€œoverwrought.â€

At 1:30, Mitchell was even more explicit, saying Daschle seemed â€œteary.â€ Chatting with Susan Page of USA Today and Chris Cillizza of WaPo, hereâ€™s how Andrea put it:

ANDREA MITCHELL: I was on Morning Joe at 7:15 this morning predicting that he would make it. But Susan Page, when I talked to him just, I guess a little over an hour ago, when I talked to Tom Daschle, it was an emotional conversation. Iâ€™ve known this man a long time. He is really burdened, distraught, sounded teary, when he said â€œI read the New York Times [editorial suggesting he withdraw] : I canâ€™t pass health care. Itâ€™s too much of a distraction. I called the president this morning.â€

Post by: Tess Anderson on February 03, 2009, 02:22:44 PM: LOL @ Andrea Mitchell - she's such a kiss-ass. Yet she'll tell you til she's blue in the face that she's not biased.

Daschle's case was very blatant and severe - he'd known this was a problem since June and ignored it too long. He would've sucked as HHS Secretary anyways, all Barack Hussein Obama has to do is to find another advocate of the UK health system that has less of a tax problem.

Daschle, all teary eyed, "I paid a $150,000 in back taxes and all I got to show for it was this damn Obama T-shirt>"
