Too late Obama you have shown your complete lack of good judgment, 48% already knew that you lacked this.

AMERICA YOUR VOICES HAVE BEEN HEARD!

==========================

Make no mistake…had thousands of Americans not called and emailed their Senators…this would not have happened!

We have the power in our voices and our vote!

Keep it up…don’t get discouraged…you count…we all count when we voice our opinions in mass.

We did it America…I’m just sorry that enough voices weren’t heard on Holder and Geithner!

Now…let’s get it done for the stimulus package. This is just pork and nothing more!

We don’t need any stimulus package. Give us a “tax holiday” like the Republicans have suggested.

Let us take home our hard earned money Gross…for a couple of months and we’ll decide how to stimulate the economy.

America…these politicians don’t know how to regulate and distribute our monies. They have already made a mockery out of the first $750 billion…enough is enough!

Call/email your Senators and tell them “NO”…”NO” to any stimulus package. Let free enterprise work it’s way back!

Go to:

1. USA.Gov
2. At top click on “site index”
3. On left click on “federal government”
4. On main section click on “Senators on the web”
5. Find your Senator and tell them what you think!

WE CAN DO IT…YES WE CAN AND WE HAVE!

Lets call for an INDEPENDENT audit for all of them. If they can’t clean their house. We will help them.

the view   February 3rd, 2009 - 1:35 pm

was there an oversight in vetting here and with the other nominees too? or did this administration not consider these tax issues pertinent?
NO they believe he has a mandate and can do as he pleases!

Other   February 3rd, 2009 - 1:40 pm

Daschle, thru his health care mega-lobbyist wife, would have secured millions in re-election contributions for Obama.

Fortunately, we won’t have to listen to this ignoramus spew his lame idiotic economically bankrupt healthcare plans to the nation.

Joihn   February 3rd, 2009 - 2:41 pm

“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.

Withdrew himself? — What else is he hiding?

Azul Del Fuego   February 3rd, 2009 - 3:33 pm

I forgot to mention, those red-rimmed glasses make Daschle look like the pu55y that we know he is.
Did I mention that democrats are evil?

Azul Del Fuego   February 3rd, 2009 - 3:39 pm

Well, good. Daschle is a piece of sh_t. Put this in perspective: the big problem isn’t Daschle. It’s the fact that BHO wants to ruin the world’s greatest healthcare system with a government-run socialist system of rationed healthcare. Where will be the incentive for doctors to excel under this system? Where will be the incentive for drug companies to build new drugs? What genius government bureaucrat determines which hospitals stay open, which should be rennovated? Which government bureacrat determines whether another podiatrist or dermatologist is needed in Duluth?
Remember when Hillary Clinton imposed a price ceiling on flu vaccine a couple of years ago? What happened? No company felt they could make flu vaccine at a profit and so there was a shortage. I can guarantee that under healthcare rationing, we’ll have citizens denied services and illegal aliens granted the same services.
Those of you who voted for Obama, ask someone in the UK how much they enjoy their broke-a$$ healthcare system.

Did he get those glasses out of a Mr. Potato box? If he actually bought them, he has forfeited his right to spend taxpayer dollars.

danske   February 3rd, 2009 - 4:25 pm

yes, it was from here:

Kenny C   February 3rd, 2009 - 10:02 pm
