    Don, I don't know enough about Holder to have a valid opinion.

    Meanwhile, another candidate drops out because of tax problems. This would be the "Performance Czar." What the **** is a Performance Czar?

    That sum included $298 in unpaid taxes, $48.69 in interest and $600 in penalties.

    So people are dropping out for errors to the tune of $298? That doesn't seem entirely logical ...

    Hold on! Some partisan hack makes excuses as to why he owes 100,000 when someone else drops out for less than 1,000?



    But hey, maybe it isn't her fault.

    Nah, apparently it isn't working out so well for Daschle either.

    Tom Daschle withdrew his nomination on Tuesday as President Obama’s nominee to lead the Health and Human Services Department, a decision that came one day after Mr. Obama declared that he would stand behind Mr. Daschle as problems over unpaid taxes were scrutinized on Capitol Hill. [...]

    The decision to withdraw his nomination as a member of the Obama cabinet comes as the White House battled across several fronts on Tuesday with tax problems of the president’s top political appointees. Mr. Daschle had expressed regret for not paying about $140,000 in back taxes, but on Monday vowed to press ahead.

    Obama's really having some trouble with his nominees. I mean, it seems like an awfully high percentage of nominees dropping out, especially for tax trouble.

    More of that taxes are good and patriotic for you, but not for me, from the dems.

    Thanks.

    This just goes to show what hypocrites politicians are. The party that speaks out against gay sex gets caught doing it, and the party who wants to raise your taxes can't pay their own.

    I still want to know what a Performance Czar does. It sounds like something that involves Russia and pornography.

    Close. I believe he is in charge of taking over the Russian botnets and spamming us all with V1@gra emails.

    Soooo true. That white chick who missed $298 in unemployment co-payments over three years? Stone cold gangsta, homes. That's just how she rolls.
