Tom Daschle just withdrew his name as HHS Secretary. If he isn’t guilty of being a Tax cheat, why would he withdraw? That is the second withdrawn nominee, today, and the fourth overall.

The inexperienced “rock star” failed to properly vet his Cabinet choices, and this is what happens.

If his "crack" team missed something this basic, before he even get started as President, do you still believe Obama/Biden has the ability to lead this country. I hope we can survive the next four years.

Hey, VOR, quit trying to change the subject. This article is about Tom Daschle and Barack Obama's lack of judgment in making all of these crooked appointments. Quit wasting space on nonsense.

According to the New York Times editorial: Mr. Daschle’s financial ties to major players in the health care industry may prove to be even more troublesome as health reform efforts proceed.

Another fox to guard the henhouse? Good riddance!

Say goodbye to 60% approval ratings. Keep hiring people that don't pay taxes and have ties to lobbyists or are former lobbyists themselves. This is getting embarrassing not only for Obama but for the US as well. "Change you can believe in." How about bullsh#! we can try to get by you.
