At least he did bow out and Obama
Report thisadmitted a mistake unlike the Bush
administration who kept people who
blatantly were proven guilty. He not
only kept them but they have gone off
to their comfy world while they brought
hell to the rest of us. Like Cheney did
not have a conflict of interest with
Halliburton who overbilled the government
6 million dollars. Was that ever really
paid back? The Democrats have been too
damn nice for too long and Obama needs to
forget bipartisan and the Dems need to
come out with all guns blazing.Sure both
parties have their ill ilk but the worst
Democrat is better than the best Republican.
The Republicans say the Dems spend but what
happened these past 8 years. If I were a
Republican I would keep my mouth shut, crawl
under a rock and not come out for a very, very
long time.

Glad this is still up - it highlights just what Obama is sorry for.

How many more are out there among the politicans and high-rollers in D.C. and Wall Street are not paying their share in taxes like the rest of us. Shifting monies, etc., to off-shore.

He’s sorry (he got caught), and he appologizes for being a scoundrel and crook

Daschle was a whimp when he was in the Senate. Now he’s a tax cheating whimp. Since he lacks courage and honesty that makes him a near perfect candidate for health secretary. An honest man couldn’t get appointed in Washington. Daschle is a shoe-in.

Luckily, this morning Daschle has withdrawn his nomination for HHS Secretary as well as ‘health czar.’

The American taxpayer deserves an annual $50k income deduction on their taxes for routine government fraud. Hell, they’ll just print the money they need anyway and we’ll all pay thru inflated prices. In the meantime, will someone jail these public trust violating assholes?
