Barack Obama has announced that the withdrawal of Daschle and Killefer from
consideration doesn't worry him one bit...

"I have already spoken to both Willie Nelson and Wesley Snipes, and both ready
to step in, step up and serve the nation...," the President said a press
conference.

HTH,

....I suppose the US taxpayer ought to be glad that Al Capone is dead...

I am glad that both are out of the picture. Obama is finding(and this is a
good thing) that the concept of a better type of government is a high moral
bar, and that folks DO expect him to clear it. Actually, my real issue with
Daschle wasn't the tax thing(although that reeks of stupid), but the idea
that he got bucks for consultation work with the healthcare industry. I
really don't want to see the reform of the US healthcare system from someone
partially in the pocket of one side or the other.
You start to get to wondering, though,does anyone down there pay their
freaking taxes??

Only after they're considered for a cabinet position. :-)

Well, Wesley Snipes tried to get away with not paying. Willie got
hammered by a crooked manager. Gotta be situation dependent.

Um, he is just now finding THAT?! I sorta figured, at least to hear him and the
FOO (Friends Of Obama) fighters tell it while he was running for Prez, that he
not only had the easy **** like that figured out, but all of the hard ****,
too...

and that folks DO expect him to clear it.

Maybe they can start by jumping over Timmy Geithner's housekeeper...just sort of
as a training session...you know, little hurdles before big leaps...

Actually, my real issue with
Daschle wasn't the tax thing(although that reeks of stupid), but the idea
that he got bucks for consultation work with the healthcare industry.

Well, to be fair, maybe when Obama nominated him, he thought Daschle hadn't been
doing anything but riding around in a loaned limo since leaving Congress...

I really don't want to see the reform of the US healthcare system from someone
partially in the pocket of one side or the other.

freaking taxes??

Well, sure...but I'm pretty sure that Obama won't be appointing very many
wealthy Republican supporters to his cabinet...

Oh, yeah, sure, the black man is ALWAYS guilty, right?

Willie got hammered by a crooked manager.

Ah, yes...the typical defense of the left - "It's someone else's fault!"

Gotta be situation dependent.

See above.

I don't know who you heard that from, but rather suspect that you IMPLIED
that. Hell, Obama hisownself admitted that the process wouldn't be easy. How
could someone misconstrue that?

not that the odds would improve, if he did, but perhaps the accounting might
get murkier......At any rate, it was damned refreshing to hear a POTUS
admit, on the public airwaves, "I screwed up on this one". Compare and
contrast, if you will, to his predecessor, who screwed up with alarming
frequency, and seemingly, to this day cannot admit it to himself, let alone
the general public.

blame game had an ideology. Then again, in Willie's case, I just figured the
reefer messed with his math skills......

Er, "the process" is going to be that much harder if he just now figuring out
stuff like a moral bar laying on the floor ain't all that high...

Well, the, um, "good" news is that it is beginning to appear that you may be
regularly refreshed...

In all seriousness though, while it might seem that such refreshment is a good
thing (and hopefully, only a small serving is necessary), it is potentially a
VERY dangerous drink. While the domestic political "weakness" implied in such a
punch might only be dangerous relative to domestic politics, leaders publicly
admitting "screw-ups" is not something one needs to be serving to guests, and
especially not something one would want to serve to foreign enemies.
