What?!?! A president who takes responsibility for a possible mistake and apologizing? I knew this country would fall apart if the liberals took control. Obama, who campaigned against 'business as usual' in Washington, apologized for his support of Tom Daschle after Daschle dropped out as a possibility for Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Daschle, the former Senate Democratic leader, is in trouble for not paying taxes on a "gift" of a limo and driver. I heard a good Republican joke that went something like this, "Why do Democrats favor raising taxes? Because they don't pay them themselves."
I'm beginning to accept that most who enter politics will eventually get corrupted, but the irony in this case is amusing. So Daschle "forgot" to pay $146,000 in taxes for this limo/driver while not too long ago, ran this ad in South Dakota.
Daschle's withdrawal came just hours after Nancy Killefer, Obama's nominee to be chief performance officer, withdrew her nomination following the revelation that she had a $946.69 lien on her property in 2005 for failure to pay taxes.
