"I Screwed Up"

President Obama, speaking in reference to the Tom Daschle comedy said, "I screwed up" by nominating him.

As you no doubt know by now, Senator Tom Daschle was nominated by Obama to become an important big-wig in his administration, was subsequently exposed as a tax cheat, and withdrew himself from the process.

As I previously stated, Daschle has made millions while serving as a United States Senator. Obviously, the man is not stupid. No way will a man who is intent on making millions going to inadvertently make hundred-thousand-dollar errors on his taxes. That's just total B.S.

So... has Obama - as the bimbos on CNNFOXETC suggested - set the "bar too high"?

No.

What the Daschle fiasco has demonstrated is that it is almost impossible to find a Washington insider honest enough to serve.

That's the real message we should be taking away from all this.

Daschle is mild in comparison to that bastard that Gaithner bastard running (ruining) the Treasury now!
Just what we need: After 8 years of getting screwed by AIPAC, a Khazakh in charge of the IRS and the Treasury who is a tax-cheat to boot!
