$140,000 mistake? I wish I could make that in a year, let alone make enough to call it a goof. Slowly the truth is showing its face.

But, will OB pick someone else?

I really wish Obama would dump the bum.

There are better people than Daschle, and it'd show that Obama has some good judgment.

That said, this thread is probably going to be combined with several others on the same topic.

Wow....it's amazing the honesty and integrity that the obama administration is operating under....

Maybe. I'm sure he can find someone who hasn't been caught yet.

These politicians are like vampires. You think you get rid of them by voting them out and they just keep coming back. First as lobbyists, then as appointees. They keep rising from their graves to suck us dry. Daschle is not well liked by anybody outside his circle of insiders and now he's a tax cheat as well. Do we need to put up crucifixes and hang garlic in the Whitehouse to chase them away?
Clinton and Bush made some rotten picks for cabinet appointees and I guess Obama is no different. Barak Hussein Obama Clinton Bush the 3rd. Lord, help us.

Where is the media in all of this? Imagine if it was mccain that had won, and had 2 tax deadbeats like this? They'd be crucifying him.

Sadly, I must concur with this. It really has reached a level of tragic comedy...

It's a long deadbeat list:
Richardson
Geitner
Daschle
Kellifer
and those are just the ones were are aware of.

Then there's Judd Gregg, a Republican, and the same guy who in 1995 voted to abolish the agency he is going to lead. Geeesh!
