What a pathetic liar. I expected Obama to have his hands full with the conflicts in Iraq and Afganistan, with the Economy and the housing problem. I did not expect Obama to simply make such bad choices within his own team, to sign an executive order banning the hiring of lobbyists and then break is own rule three times in one week! Even when he realized his problems with Daschle, Obama refused to stand as a leader and withdraw Daschle, but simply sat there waiting for Daschle to withdraw.

[basenjib123]

Obama promised "change" ...he did not promise good change! I love it ..... the media does not know whether to shit or go blind over the corrupt nigger in the Whitehouse!!

[eincali]

~basenjib123

I don't know whether to shit or go blind from all the ignorant, bigotted, racists on YouTube.

[PatricksTime]

change we can count on!!!

OBAMA 08'

NOBODY HAS TO PAY TAXES!!!!!

[Karlfalcon]

I love how the media jumped all over this as some sort of "scandal". So the guy was a little confused as to how to classify the use of a car. Big deal.

Tell me one person who hasn't been confused by the fucked-up tax laws we have in place.

[armyofonerd]

How pathetic is this. Let me guess, this is the position Obama has on "change". Yes, the Republicans get thrown under the bus, but here the Democrats consistently simply say it was a "mistake". If you or I had made this "mistake", our house would have been taken from us but for some reason we are to "believe" in this? I put the failure of this on Daschle and on Obama. Obama will bring integrity back to the White House?? This in integrity from Obama? Show us Change and get rid of him.

[snipzor]

He's been president for how long? Don't be an (Pardon my language) absolute fucking moron. This barely counts as corruption, what do you want to go back to? Sarah Palin, fark that shiat, and fark your opinion.

[armyofonerd]

Hey idiot, Obama said he knew of his failure to pay those taxes for years and still tried to appoint him. Maybe you don't pay taxes, but many of us do and we expect those who are supposed to represent us to pay their taxes. Not paying over $100,000 in taxes is "barely corruption" - pardon me buy you are a fucking moron to even think that.  Now that Daschle is out, Obama did not even have the backbone or integrity to withdraw him first - that is pathetic. Give us a leader, not a politician

[freein2339]

Actually I don't care about the taxes...I say get rid of the fucking criminal IRS....

[freein2339]

I'm a Obama supportor but this is the third person in his "cabinet" that has a problem either with taxes or with something else illegal...Why didn't his team vet these guys better..???

[MikeRocks25]

If you do it to me once, shame on you.

If you do it to me again, I'm a damn asshole fool. With that said, if a politician keep breaking the law and we know that he/she is doing it, we are a bunch of fools. We deserve everything these crooked politicians do to us. I know if my employee is not doing their job I will fire them immediately. When it comes to politicians we forget who the boss is.

[WildRiverman]

Robert Reich, Tom Daschle. Why are we putting the same people back in charge who caused this mess to begin with?

[WhoRonPaul]

i was under the impression paying taxes was illegal. boy am i in trouble...

[empirestate28]

why!

[AJAX556]

"low cost, high quality.

how? "

THROUGH PROFIT?

What do I win?

[TheSchmuckLook]

Sorry, but $146,000 in back taxes and interest is NOT a mistake. He tried to play the tax system and was winning until now.  We deserve a NEW candidate for this post. Someone who has not made millions 'consulting' for hospitals AND insurers. Peace.

[arbide2]

What a fucker!

The Republicans are scum but so are the Democrats as they are always harping on about higher taxes just as long as THEY do not have to pay them.

[Starmexus84]

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. This is why I stop caring about politics somtimes because how many rich republican businessmen owe back taxes but they're doing a big story of some dude not paying taxes on drving a car!

[csplendrig]

they should do a story on both really

[able1039]

I've never been a fan of Daschle. I think Obama can pick better.

[oneviwatara]

Barack Hussein Obama is a crook,con artist,corrupt,coward,crack addicted,fraud,fake,flip flopper,liar,phony and hypocrite.

[simplybkuz]

Crack addicted? Come on, you can do better than that... oh, that's right.. that's what you have to resort to, when facts are the enemy.

[CYLONEJACK]

"Hussein Obama is a crook,con artist,corrupt,coward,crack addicted,fraud,fake,flip flopper,liar,phony and hypocrite. "

So was the last guy.

[dralavant]

Dude, shut the hell up. You sound like a parrot just repeating what it's Master says. "Hussein Obama" .... as if his name means he's some evil reptile or something. You dumb republicans make me sick.

[CYLONEJACK]

I was replying to a dumbass republican dude. Look i even put it in qoutes. Now say your sorry =D

[dralavant]

I know, I meant to reply to oneviwatara. Sorry Jack. *HUGS* ^-^

[MrFunk1503]

Prove it, dont talk out of your ass. fucking idiots man i swear

[dralavant]

It seems he's getting Obama mixed with Bush. Oh well, Republicans were never the best of thinkers. lol

[mikebee02]

I think we should audit every politician on the state and national level. I bet we get enough back taxes and fines out of these crooks to pay off a day or two of the war.

[sexdrugsRnR]

"now that the gov't pays my rent, I am sorry I evaded taxes"

[CGrunzdizshitz]

dude this guy made a honest mistake and fixed it, and admitted it and they give him so much shit yet bush destroyed the nation in so many ways yet nothing happens to him.

[daderone]

certainly, not to mention that Senator Daschle has done so much and has so much passion and determination to solve our healthcare problems and challenges. He is perfect for the job.

[bernlin2000]

Not a big deal...seems like an honest mistake

[jhakana]

he didnt pay $148,000 dollars of tax for a driving service over a period of 3 years, if it is an honest mistake, he is an idiot, if not he tried to get away with something, either way, when most Americans on average make less than $35,000 dollars a year, it is reprehensible to claim ignorance. It is gravely concerning when people entrusted to make decisions for the general population cant manage their own dealings, especially when it appears to not be above board, either way he's incompetent

[KataVideo]

meh

[Mychaels]

We the people have to trust our leaders. You don't want to pay taxes unless you are caught. No pity from the ones that hired you! Lets move on to the next candidate. No more screwing around. They need to be held accountable!

[sugarpuddin88]

Gimme a break!

Martha Stewart & Lil Kim were jailed for lying, but no Politician nor Corp elite will be tried

Waxman & Kucinich made a big beef in Congress about impeaching Cheney

Waxman & Kucinich made a big beef in Congress about AIG using tax payer money for parties & pedicures

Waxman & Kucinich makes a big beef about Greenspan

America is a socialist country for corporations and Americans are ignorant sheeple who get the Government they deserve!

Nixon could have stayed in office!

[daderone]

wow share whatever you are smoking with the rest of us.

[sugarpuddin88]

Fed debt per person: $58K

Un-funded Medicare/Medicaid per person: $332K

Fed's plundered trusts per person: $30K

Un-funded SS: $166K

Every American owes: $586K for FED debt

Gov grows 4 Xs faster than economy

Fed spending grows 16 times faster than economy, (16 fold expansion in control & gov dependence)

The US gov now holds 57% share of entire National Income = Government makes more than all the money made in private sector!

How long does the USA honestly think it will last?

[sugarpuddin88]

Every 15 months, the USA owes another trillion dollars against Gov expenses!

Prop up the bad guys with money!

Reward the mistakes!

Weve increased the Money Supply 70% since October!!!!!

Can you imagine?!

Bernanke refused to show up the other day before congress

Altogether, the worlds markets over the past four weeks saw $11 trillion worth of assets wiped out. This sum corresponds to virtually the entire annual gross national product of the US, or the European Union

[marniespeaks]

Daschle helped create the financial mess we are in today

[jimmytriptrick]

so did all americans ...so... your point?....do you have a solution, or just criticism?

[marniespeaks]

No not all Americans did - HOWEVER, if you want to use that kind of logic then your responsible for all the deaths in Iraq, global warming and everyone who is poor and ill in the world

Here's the difference Daschle had power and like most bought and sold politicians, and he is one, abused it

There are better people and yes, no one is perfect, but a good start, a requirement should be to stop putting the people who caused this mess in charge

but apparently you are willing to roll over again

[47f0]

Well, I'm reserving judgment. My business is fairly simple - and my taxes are a nightmare. The tax code has turned into such a bloated monster that in a recent audit, nearly 20% of tax forms prepared with the assistance of IRS staff had errors. If the freakin' IRS can't even figure out their own tax code, what hope do the rest of us have?

I think this is less an indictment of Daschle than it is another demonstration of why an overhaul of the IRS is needed.

[bernlin2000]

I agree with you, it's an unholy mess for sure

[j3znz]

haha, he dosen't have people.

[BigSleepyOx]

The car thing, I don't care about, and nobody rational would care about. But I heard he also failed to pay taxes on certain consultant fees. Is that so or not? And if so, is it excusable or not? And even if not excusable, is it bad enough to reject his appointment?

These are questions that still have to be answered.

[nt0xik8ed]

what ever happened to the missing intern?

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Who cares, fuck apologies, fuck taxes.

Confirm him.

[matthewserta]

Agreed, Let him get up there and kiss ass, to get himself out of a bad name, Fuck it all... I wouldn't kiss ass for anything.

[lamouchemorte]

Yeah right. These rich fucks are always trying to evade paying taxes.

[daderone]

yeah u r right only rich people try to evade taxes or make mistakes filing taxes. Give me a break.

[lamouchemorte]

Give yourself a break asshole. Go jerk off to your boyfriend Sean Hannity.

[daderone]

go fuck yourself lamouche you dumb pos, you obviously aren't from America if u think only the rich fuck up their taxes.

Either that or you are stupid, which I put my money on.

I bet you make more $ then I do and have made more tax mistakes then I have. Doesn't mean there aren't people in my tax bracket not always getting their taxes perfect.

sorry to interupt you regurgitating what you sucked on and swallowed off of rush limbaugh today.

[lamouchemorte]

I must admit that last insult was funny. But seriously you are moron. Your money would be better well spent on getting a dictionary so you can learn the difference between the word then and than.

[daderone]

Nice comeback, guess you prefer to avoid the part about u being a hypocrite who most likely cheats taxes on purpose.

go suck on o'reilly's louffa.

[SimonPeter168]

my biggest mistake was getting caught...er i mean not paying taxes.

[33722janus]

i hate the captcha wen yu type to many comments, took me like 4 trys to get it right and i forgot what i was gonna say.

im not mad at not writeing the most brillant comment ever, its that those people that would of read that comment and had their lives changed for the better will miss out.....also let the man do his job.

[beejornk]

i believe and respect you mr. daschle

[voyeurdug]

Looks better without the gomer glasses.

... and (pains me to say it), $128,000 worth of chauffering is a tad different than borrowing your brother-in-law's car for a week... even if you top off the tank.

[iamTenacity]

You know I also had a problem with my taxes. I forgot that the money I got from my job was income instead of a gift from the company..oh darn. *rolls eyes*

If you're gonna lie Mr. Daschle, make it somewhat believeable.

[michael2649]

If someone lets you use their car should you claim it on your taxes?

[AJAX556]

How convenient that he finds out he has to pay all these taxes AFTER he gets appointed

If he was a Repub. he'd been tossed out, BY THE LEFT, weeks ago.

This is bullshit.

[UGOTDAJACK]

You're a idiot. You're still playing this left and right game,mean while both parties play you like the fool that you are.

[AJAX556]

So you think now that he should be confirmed?

[UGOTDAJACK]

Hell no! He should be in jail along with Timothy Gietner. Why the hell should these RICH mofo's get off scott free when they don't pay their taxes but the average american who's struggling with two jobs goes to jail if they do the same thing. There should be riots in the streets but the elite knoow that yall don't care about shit. All anyone will be talking about this week is the fucking super bowl. As the years go by america becomes more and more pathetic.

[daderone]

you are such an orwellian pos ajax

[AJAX556]

I'm the Orwellian?

I'm not the one painting laws on the wall and then breaking them.

watch?v=x4u0NBu0358

[daderone]

lmao you really need help buddy.

I cant believe this guy just sent me a link to his own video where he solidifies the fact that he's coo coo for coco puffs.

[SevenSixTwoNato]

In before trolls.
