Unlike Geithner, Daschle isn't irreplaceable.
No one is irreplaceable, especially tax cheats.
Tim Geithner is about as close to irreplaceable as someone could be though. He's absolutely brilliant, and he has lots of experience. I don't know if he'll be able to help turn the economy around, but if anyone can do it, he can. Considering the gravity of the current economic situation, it seems almost petty to hold up his nomination on tax questions.
Daschle, on the other hand, is not irreplaceable. He's a great advocate for health care reform with lots of friends on the hill...but there are plenty of other people who meet those qualifications as well, who hopefully DON'T owe back taxes.
Obamareally has dropped the ball on vetting his nominees. Cheese and rice!
Tax evasion is a big problem. I see commercials for tax relief companies where people boast of owing 80 grand and settling for 14 grand.[/quote]
I'll just bet that happens.
I didn't think Treasury Secretary was to head the economy but to collect and disburse government monies.
American said:I suppose that the same thing to Democrats.
Ya, it was time for Obama to cut him loose. Unlike Geithner, Daschle isn't irreplaceable. I do think that whoever Obama nominates as health czar to replace Daschle should be a current or former member of Congress with lots of friends on the hill.

No one is irreplaceable and using that as an excuse to have a double standard is specious. This is the change Americans deserved. :rofl

Who do you think should be Obama's Secretary of Treasury?

Steve Forbes.
Steve Forbes is nowhere close to a match for Obama's political views .....
..and has absolutely no qualifications for running the treasury. Try again.
Hillary almost had her own scandal, it's amazing. Has Obama nominated anyone who hasn't had a problem?
