WH Spokesman Robert Gibbs on Tax Cheat Daschle: "Nobodys Perfect"
WH Spokesman Robert Gibbs on Tax Cheat Daschle: "Nobodys Perfect"
Sen. Jim DeMint (S.C.), one of two Republicans who opposed the confirmation of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, was the only lawmaker to suggest publicly yesterday that Daschle's nomination may be in jeopardy.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said on CBS's "Face the Nation": "I think I'm going to just wait until [committee members] give me their opinion. But it was a surprise. . . . It is quite a surprise."
"We'll have to question former senator Daschle and understand his explanation, and then have a conversation about it and see where it goes," Sen Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) said on "Fox News Sunday." Kyl, who was Geithner's strongest critic on the committee, said it appears "too early to tell" whether Daschle's difficulties will disqualify him for the post. Kyl suggested that Obama is benefiting from his popularity and a double standard, and that President George W. Bush's nominees might not have survived similar mistakes.
"President Obama wanted to have a very ethical administration starting out and so on, but I think he's seeing how hard it is to avoid these kind of problems," Kyl said. "And I just wonder if President Bush had nominated these people, what folks would be saying about that."
Wild Thing's comment.........
First I have to say this....I do NOT like Gibbs!! He is a shoddy excuse for a human being. Right alongside his boss.
The Washington Post is calling it a " GLITCH "?? LOL well now there we have it. It is either that we have issues with this...yes issues they like to call it too. And now we can call it a glitch. The glitch is a $140,000 in back taxes and penalties. But who is counting certainly not if a person is a democrat politician.
But get this.... Daschle's says " I have no excuses"
And Obama said....." I stand behind him. "
LOL I am so sorry but this is so out there, that it would be hard to believe if we were not living it.
BUT look at this.....
"Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter.” —Sen. Tom Daschle, Congressional Record, May 7, 1998, p. S4507.
Well I guess we should all cut him some slack; we've all made our share of little mistakes. Who hasn't committed $120,000 dollars worth of tax fraud?
Democrats love raising taxes. It’s no wonder, they never pay them.

Also Wesley Snipes is sitting in prison for tax evasion. Look at what they did to Willie Nelson. Maybe Snipes should be pardoned and appointed to a sub-cabinet position in the Treasury Dept.

I sent my tax statement in yesterday. If I was a Democrat I guess I could just avoid those pesky taxes.
We thought the Clinton group was a bunch of crooks. Obama is going to have a crime family that makes the Barrow Gang look like small time hoods.
WT. Gibbs is a true spokesman for Obama. Every other word from Gibbs is uh or er.

Obama apologists will say and do anything to perpetuate the myth that Obama's "hopenchange" is not politics as usual. The facts contradict that. OBAMA IS POLITICS AS USUAL.

Moral equivalency, it's a mistake if a Democrat gets caught cheating, that same person if a Republican will be drawn and quartered by the media with every politician in both parties calling for his lynching or immediate expulsion and incarceration. Gibbs is nothing, a mouthpiece, only answering softball questions and deflecting all questions of substance.

Robert uhhh Gibbs, I am so sick uhhh of hearing him uhhh speak. This uhhh administration is uhhh an embarrasment uhhh to these uhhh United States.
Let's uhhh at least uhhh get someone uhhh that speaks English uhhh instead of uhhhish.
My daughter speaks to me in daughterish and at least I can figure out what she is saying.
Do you have $60.00 until I get paid Friday doesn't mean I will pay you back on Friday, just that you can tide me over until I get paid. Then I'll be OK until I ask you again.
Oh, Isn't that kind of like the government with their 3'rd bailout plan. At least she's my daughter, these political leeches suck.

I have to add as a footnote that my daughter is my life and means everything to me, the politicians still suck.

Imagine all of the outrage by the liberal elite media if these ethicless atrocities occurred in W's administration in 2001? Sit back and smile W and Laura and watch the LOVE FEST with Prez Obambi!
