Tom Daschle has withdrawn his nomination as Secretary of HHS. shocking Capital Hill. And just a few hours before, Nancy Killefer withdrew her nomination as the first chief performance officer for the federal government.
The Daschle nomination became controversial when it was disclosed he owed back taxes.
Killefer said she didn't want her "bungling of payroll taxes on her household help" to become a distraction for Obama.
The AP also reported:
In announcing his choice of Sen. Judd Gregg to be commerce secretary, Obama took no questions Tuesday and left the White House lectern ignoring a shouted question about why so many of his nominees have tax problems.
It seems the party most favorable to taxes has leaders who ain't paying them.
