  • Daschle, is Obama crazy? Folks the inmates

    are still running the asylum. The America we all

    knew is History. Cronyism rules inside the beltway. What do we expect? Trash in, Trash

    out.

  • Comment removed

  • Obama is trying to stack his cabinet with the same crooks who got us in this mess.

    We don't need anymore crooked Washington insiders running things.

  • Where does it state that US citizens are obligated BY LAW to pay federal taxes. (Yawn) go back to sleep kiddies.

  • Mr. Daschle did this to him self. Does any one take responsibility for their actions anymore? Some here are blaming others for this. Is Mr. Daschle the ONLY american that can do this job? If he is, we are in trouble.

  • Awsome change.

    Ron Paul 2012

  • "The second-biggest whore for the health care industry in American politics"

    Glenn Greenwald tells you everything you need to know about Tom Daschle:

    "He embodies everything that is sleazy, sickly, and soul-less about Washington. Its probably impossible for Obama to fill his cabinet with individuals entirely free of Beltway filth — its extremely rare to get anywhere near that system without being infected by it — but Daschle oozes Beltway slime from every pore."

  • Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi:

    "But in picking Daschle — who as an adviser to the K Street law firm Alston and Bird has spent the last four years burning up the sheets with the nation's fattest insurance and pharmaceutical interests — Obama is essentially announcing that he has no intention of seriously reforming the health care industry. . . "

  • "we're talking about a guy who not only was a consultant for one of the top health-care law firms in the country, but a board member of the Mayo Clinic (a major recipient of NIH grants) and the husband of one of America's biggest defense lobbyists — wife Linda Hall lobbies for Lockheed-Martin and Boeing. Does anyone really think that this person is going to come up with a health care proposal that in any way cuts into the profits of the major health care companies?"

  • maybe Doctor/Governor Howard Dean should fill the position, Daschle was a great selection and personally I think he should have stayed. Obama did the right thing nominating him and Daschle did what he ultimately thought was the right thing. I think thats also a reflection of his/their passion to really get to work with determination on such an important issue as healthcare.

    There are I assume many qualified people, Daschle would have been my 1st pick too.
