Tax Crook Tom Daschle

So now we find that former senator, and world-citizen Tom Daschle, like fellow-crook Tim Geithner, did not pay $140,000 in taxes until he knew he was to be vetted by congress. Then he "discovered" his mistake and paid up. The inescapable fact, glaringly visible to everyone, including us americans, is that this incredibly arrogant, and gratuitously mean, man would never have paid these taxes otherwise. Maybe he, like fellow Universe-Master Geithner, did not know about owing them. How come that is no excuse for us others, us americans? President Obama says that, like Geithner, this failure to pay is no obstacle to Daschle becoming Health and Human Services Secretary. Then what would be an obstacle?
It seems that Obama feels he can perform an immaculate conception, wipe the embryo clean, for people that were not properly vetted by him in the first place, simply by pronouncing his blessing on them.
Our biggest fear, that Obama would believe his incredibly fawning press, seems to be coming true.
