What is it with Team Obama and paying their taxes? Most American people work hard, pay their taxes and pay their taxes and…pay their taxes. Why do fat cats like Tom Daschle and Timothy Geithner think they can avoid paying their taxes until they get nominated for a top administration job? Geithner survived and was confirmed…Daschle bows out after Obama “stands behind him.” Now a third Team O member, Nancy Killefer, withdrew her candidacy to be the first chief performance officer because she didn’t pay her nanny taxes. Who’s next? Michelle? Maybe Big O should nominate Russ Smyth, Chief Executive Officer of H & R Block as the new Chief Performance Officer. Obama’s campaign defended itself noblely against opponents’ ridicule that paying taxes is patriotic..which it is. But is this display of partiotism limited to the average American taxpayer excluding the Gifted Chosen Ones trusted to set new ethical standards and restore good government. What happened to Obama’s pledge of a new ethical day in Washington? Was it single one day only?

Chill out “P”, It’s all good!! Your’re starting to sound like a bite from Ron Christi’s “double visioned” views of American politics!!!!! Cheating on your taxes is as American as baseball and waterboarding.

Keep the faith, the big O is ethical. It’s the nominees and those that vet who fail to recognize the evil embedded in the creative tax return. Or….maybe that question was removed from the candidate interview because Dems don’t cheat the IRS!!!!!!! Damn that Turbo Tax. What we need is a little “born again” integrity. A community dip in the White House pool presided over by the Pres and they will emerge honest once more.But where do you stand on the contents of the “stimulus” package? Honeybee research rocks! Yes, I know they are dying and there could be a pollination crisis, but how many jobs will it provide?
