Sheesh again,

Double sheesh is right. I mean this is nickel and dime bull****
that would never be an issue in real life being magnified under
the microscopic lens of a "gotcha" press. The guy made an honest
mistake on his taxes, a fairly trivial honest mistake, and it
would never have been brought to light had he not consented to
be a candidate for public service.

Double sheesh again,

It's not just Fox. But from all I've heard, this is much ado about
less-than-nothing - for example, the charitable contribution BS - and against a
guy that BOTH parties are supporting. I have to wonder if the "media" is having
buyers' remorse about Obama...

While Daschle's and Geithner's situations weren't "honest mistakes" or evidence
of anything the US tax code, Kirk's situation looks like it might be a
pretty clear sign of the ****edupness of the tax code.

Silly boy, it's all part of a master IRS enforcement and deficit
reduction plan. Everyone nominated, regardless if they withdrew their
nomination or not, had to file amended returns and pay their back
taxes. Nominate enough people with tax issues and the budget deficit
drops a trillion or two

**** that - just nominate the entire Clinton Administration and assorted
hangers-on, and voila! The Dow at 15K, CNN and MSNBC are all sunshine, roses,
and free weed (and have fired Dobbs, Matthews and his shivered leg, and
Uberputz), and everyone is farting through silk...

And did ya notice that the actual business-type nominees are few and far
between....

Actually, I like the Officially Stated Policy: raise taxes on the
entire Bush Administration and assorted hangers-on.

Well, it seems they are the only ones of the last two that actually pays them,
so I guess it has that going for it...

given the fresh set of approval numbers, it is VERY clear that the public
isn't. As one observer noted:"he spent a lot of political capital on the
stimulus package, and yet, seems to have more capital now than a month
ago.".

I'm not sure what you mean - his approval numbers have dipped a bit from about
70% to about 60% and his disapproval numbers have grown from 20ish% to 30ish% at
a steadily-increasing rate, while, undeservedly IMO, Congress' approval numbers
have actually increased.

IAC, I suspect that many (totally unrealistically) expected Obama to instantly
make everything perfect, and now that it _appears_ to the hoi polloi that it is
actually getting worse, they are beginning to feel somehow "cheated." I think
"the media" is in front of this, and given their role in getting him...oops -
Him...elected, they are trying to get in front of the probable downturn in
public opinion.
