Forgive me if this has been expressed but I'm dissapointed that Obama has taken his nominees with...

tax problems. Either that or I'm dissapointed they didn't all pull themselves out.

I really envisioned a truly new and rare level of integrity. I know people will say "...yeah but the Republicans are much worse." But I don't care. I don't even want to get as close as a light year away from being able to have a comparison.

Maybe I am unrealistically ideal. Is there anyone else out there who feels this way? I just don't want this to be the beginning of the same kind of compromises that we have seen over and over in the past.

1. I'm getting tired of these stumbling blocks, however minor, however innocent, however corrected.

These are stories that Obama---and the nation---does not need.

2. I believe that the Republicons..

are doing a lot of digging and blackmailing but, I don't like the fact that Daschle took all of this time to admit this. Some people are really stupid if they believe that the Republicons are innocent and don't have the same problems.


One thing that always irritated me during the Bush admin was the fact that the treasury sec Snowe stoled all he could for his railroad and then resigned after he stoled as much as he could.

I also didn't like the fact that the Labor sec Cho who is Mitch McCOnnell's wife was unqualified and looked like a deer caught in the headlights on cspan when she was asked questions and she didn't know what in the hell she was doing because,McConnell was running the department not her...

4. Like I said I don't want to compared to the Republicans. You could me much much worse than the...

Republicans and still be pretty bad (at least worse than I wish to tolerate in our party).

And I don't want to give the Republicans even a scintilla of anything to use against us instead of discussing the real issues of jerking around middle and working and poor classes instead of looking out for the US.

Again we could start naming the litany of Republican scandal and probably not stop until the pile of papers reached to the moon. But I want to make sure that stays their problem, not ours.

3. I totally agree. All of these people are aware of previous

problems they have had in the past so they should save themselves and Mr. Obama the embarrassment of even allowing their name to be entered for any post.

5. Adding: How can we expect to tell wealthy people to pay their fair share if OUR

wealthy people don't pay their fair share?
