Obama takes the hit on Daschle

Are you sure it isn't Bush's fault?

Nice to know that the "haves" still have their own set of rules.
When will these politicians ever learn that they too are accountable to the law?
We always paid our taxes when we worked. Now we're on a tiny pension and receive so little money we don't have to file taxes.

Sigh.

When the facts come out about whether Daschle was canned or not, will you people then admit that Oba-wan lied about it, saying in public that Daschle made the decision himself, and that the White House had no part in it? The "un-named sources" are already spilling the beans!

I am so please to hear this from Obama. I am a big fan, but I was a bit annoyed by all this tax evading stuff. I'm glad he withdrew.

At least the ANointed One is able to admit his mistakes - unlike President Light Feather for the past eight years.....However, this is also indicative of what a wonderful orator Obama is but truly reflects his lack of experience....His advisors are doing him poorly by not completely vetting the chosen candidates to work in his cabinet.

Oh no! The vast right wing conspiracy returns! Don't worry folks, I'm sure there are plenty of tax cheats (er, honest mistake makers) on both sides of the aisle.

If President Obama really wants to show his transparency and ethical featheres he will can that honest mistake maker in charge of the treasury.

Artist, thank heavens the highly experienced Dick Cheney made sure that there were no problems with any of the Bush appointees. Not a one, nope, uh-unh.

And Lightnin, how about hearing some facts first before you accuse someone of lying? Nothing in this news report supports your argument, so if you're getting your "facts" from Rush or World Net Daily, stifle yourself. Otherwise, cite your sources, show us some facts, or shut up.

I did not vote for the Messiah, but I am glad that he took the heat for supporting Tom the tax cheat like a stand up guy. In his 1st day in office he proclaimed that his administration would be a far more ethical administration than those in the past. Off to a rocky start, what with 3 tax cheats, including Daschle. Daschle is a poster boy for the 'revolving door' politics that the Messiah said he would put an end to, a lobbyist returning to public "service". Daschle made millions in the past few years lobbying for the companies that he would regulate as head of HHD. Come on Mr. Messiah, live up to the hype . As a Long time Republican I am rooting for you!!

The Obama Administration’s plan to cap executive salaries and his willingness to say “I screwed up”, is change we can believe in, don’t let the GOP tell you otherwise, as they do not want change!

The GOP pretend to care so deeply about the stimulus, when it is patently obvious and a derelict of their duty to the public, that the GOP are working furiously for the next elections and not the peoples’ economic crisis looming so large at this time. Some Republican Pundits charged with this task, call the Stimulus a stinking corpse, before it is even born, instead of what it is — a valuable work in progress for this country. Like any creation, in the early stages, it is chaos and not fully formed, such as a fetus, a painting, any work of art, and yet the artist ploughs on knowing the beauty to be eventually created. Why in the world, would some Pundits criticize the early form instead of giving support, is beyond the pale, especially when they know to publically criticize it is to get the ball rolling to derail it. May be they do not love this country more than their party affiliation! These pundits sit in their high-paying jobs, so lofty, and pick apart every little thing someone says or does, Wears…., with nothing good to say, like their word is God or gold — as they no longer report the news but give their Opinions about the news. There was a time when we were taught as Americans, if you have nothing good to say about anyone, say nothing at all. We have lost that. These Pundits are a part of the problem and not the solution.

At this critical stage in our rapidly-crumbling economy, it would seem that the Republican Senators would do everything they can to do something, to tell the American people, I am on your side, and not always to quickly say no to the middle class and the little people; no to schools, education, infra structure, green jobs, all of which have too long been denied and neglected and Yet, always yes to the Special Interest Groups, to wars, to big oil and their tax breaks.

It is a sad fact that for average American citizens, the GOP is becoming the party of NO! For Gosh Sake, they turn to Joe the Plumber for advice and direction!! We can not depend on the GOP to help us, they never have. In 2010, we will know what to do.
