DISCLAIMER: I did not vote for Obama.

I repeat, I did not vote for Obama. Political alignment aside, I was open to giving Mr. Obama, sorry, President Obama, the benefit of doubt as he took office. Waiting to pass judgment until he was just about done with his term. Recent events have caused me to reconsider this position, or at least start him off with a C.

FOR THE LOVE OF PETE! You do not get elected by pinning all the current economic woes on the then president and associating your opponent so closely with the then president to the point people believe it, only to try and post key staff that have issues with there own money management. You already got lucky with the secretary treasury who failed to pay more in taxes then most of the people that voted for you make in a year pre-taxes. Now you have two more potential appointees back out because of the very same reason.

Nancy Killefer: Nancy Killefer and Tom Daschel: Tom Daschle

Although it is a great ploy to draw attention from the guy that did get approved. Most people will probably now overlook the previous tax problems like they were nothing compared to these two. But it still leaves me with a very queasy feeling about his administration, and it is only a month into it. One piece of advice: avoid anyone that has had tax issues, or who could face possible jail time if they were audited.
