No job, and he STILL had to pay the taxes, interest and penalties.
Like the Fed guy, he only paid his taxes because he wanted this job.
If he was never mentioned by Obama, he would’ve let the unpaid taxes slide.

...tested his vow to clean up politics. Ah, no. These events have exposed the dishonesty of Obama's campaign pledge to clean up politics, not "tested his vow."

Tom Daschle, the nominee to lead Obama's ambitious healthcare reform and Nancy Killefer, his choice for budget watchdog seen here in January 2009, sensationally withdrew Tuesday, in bombshell announcements which rocked President Barack Obama's young administration and tested his vow to clean up politics.

Obama, having totally escaped the normal vetting process personally, seems to be assuming that he can transfer this teflon-like characteristic to as many Democrat gangsters as he likes. But it's not happening and it is making a mess of his first month on the job.
So much for CHANGE. Not that anyone here is surprised. Nor will we be surprised when things get worse. Get ready Sarah, we're going to need you.

Thank you, I take partial credit. I actually e-mailed both Senators today and voiced my disdain for tax cheats, so it must’ve worked!
I think I will ask my boss for a raise, I am on a roll!

Two of President Barack Obama's top picks for government jobs sensationally withdrew Tuesday, in bombshell announcements which rocked his young administration and tested his vow to clean up politics. Note to idiot writer: The NOMINATIONS already BROKE his vow to clean up politics. Not to mention the other ethically challenged buttheads who have been confirmed!
