Obama nominees Tom Daschle and Nancy Killefer have withdrawn their nominations for high office in the administration over tax problems, see the stories here and here. Now, as Larry Kudlow points out in a National Review column, it is time for Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, whose tax problems are well-documented, to go too.
President Obama seems to be having trouble finding prominent Democrats whose tax records can pass scrutiny. I cannot understand why his vetting squads seem unable to do their jobs properly. Perhaps he should appoint more Republicans? Gregg at Commerce is the third Republican in the Obama cabinet, following La Hood at Transportation and Gates at Defense.
I predict the next four years in Washington will be, in the words of Laugh In's Arte Johnson, "verrrry interesting, but not funny."
