Obama limits tax cheats in cabinet to one
Yeah, everyone knows now that Daschle withdrew his name from nomination. I first heard of it from my cousin Scott in an email. He wonders who’ll replace Daschle. My guess is someone more Leftist – Obama thinks he was sunk by Republican reluctance to put a lying cheater in the Obama cabinet, so he’ll teach them to question The One.
Hot Air says Daschle was sunk by the New York Times. I think he was sunk by The One. Michelle Malkin quotes the Obama official statement expressing “sadness and regret” at Daschle’s voluntary withdrawal but Michelle reads it differently;
Regret that Daschle’s serial evasions caught up with him. Sadness that he didn’t get the Geithner treatment. DLTDHYOTWO!

Related: Timothy Geithner released a statement:
All I can say is I’m very happy to have been confirmed before Tom’s problems became public. Now, as the man in charge of the IRS I will be personally auditing Tom’s tax returns to see if we can get anymore money out of him.
I may have made that last bit up. It’s hard to tell these days.

We’re going to miss those sporty red glasses.
My first thought of a replacement for Daschle was Chuck Rangel, but then, he has a tax cheat problem, too. So Obama will grabs some unknown professor with an ideological streak a mile wide, a hardcore commie who hasn’t made enough money in a year to cheat on taxes, can’t afford an illegal alien housekeeper and doesn’t flinch at the thought of taking down the economy in one fell swoop. That’s probably why the New York Times didn’t mind taking swipes at Daschle – they wanted a cold-blooded Che Guevara-type that would hustle us towards communism in the next two years.
Of course, I may be wrong, but Obama will be out for blood after suffering this defeat a few short weeks after the Inauguration.

Bill Ayers? Most O voters had no clue about his past or relationship with Obama before voting for “The One”.
Heard Kwame Kilpatrick is looking for a job…
Coby,
Be careful, K-O-B-E is also pronounced “Coby”. I don’t want to hear that you ended up on a Ritz cracker at a White House cocktail party.
Of course that would be one way to get Michelle Malkin to notice you…
Get that a lot…unfortunately.
LOL
These morons brought this on themselves. Obama and Company were the ones who tore into Joe the Plumber for not paying something like $1400 in taxes. They argued that since he didn’t pay his taxes, he had no right to criticize Obama’s tax plan.
Nice glass house there, Daschle, Geithner and Kilefer.
I’m just glad he’s out of there. The Washington Post described his grand health-care plan. It’s all about having the government pay, the objective being the same health care for everybody. The plan essentially has little black boxes where SOMEBODY is to decide what health treatments everybody can get, and what the costs will be. The reporters could not articulate what it is about this plan that distinguishes it from the failing systems in Canada and the UK.
This plan will kill medical research in this country, and the repercussions will be felt world-wide.
..it takes a village in Kenya to raise your taxes.
Valerie, NOW is floating the idea of Sen. Debbie Stabenow D-Incompetent, for HHS. So far, in her illustrious career in the Senate, she’s managed to get a Federal building in Michigan named. Oh, and she’s to the left of Daschle when it comes to universal health care. She wants S-CHIP expanded even more, and sees the problems in health care stemming from the fact that we don’t have “universal health care and government administered pensions”.
But, her qualifications for HHS are, she was a social worker and a “leadership training consultant”.
Gee… Ward Churchill might be available if California can spare him.
Although it won’t really matter after a while.
Brainless Pelosi quoted some instantly invented statistic to the effect that every week that the ‘stimulus’ package is delayed, another 35 million people will lose their jobs.. so in a few months, at that rate, no one will be working or paying taxes. Offices will all be empty. Probably cannibalism in the streets, a return to paganism, people burning huge stacks of old tires to honor Al Gore the Earth God….
J3, Cannibalism in the streets? Paganism? Maybe a dash of Idolatry, and maybe full blown anarchy? might be better than what the one is going to do!
Yes, airborne, you are totally right; if my own mind, which is warped but still human, can come up with that scenario, who knows what Da Wun can come up with? Maybe a government program to feed all the poor with Soylent Green!
J3…Soylent Green..ahhhhh reminds me of fine dining for the troops during the carter administration! Thanks for the memories wise one.LOL
