Daschle Exits Stage Right

You have to give Tom Daschle some credit for being a class act and bowing out of President Obama’s request to be Health Secretary. But, big old Butt, President Obama should have vetted him just a little bit better than just going on the name of Tom Daschel alone.

You have to wonder why President Obama wanted a tax dodging lobbyist as his Health Secretary to begin with? Did he or did he not say that he would have no lobbyists on his staff? Did President Obama think that Tommy would break all ties as a lobbyist for the health care industry? Tommy was a time bomb just waiting to explode all over the media with some form of favors paid for favors given and the one that would be hurt the most eventually would be the agent of change, President Obama.

Exit stage right Mr. Daschle. Thanks for visiting and making Obama look like he pulled a Johnny McCain and didn’t know who you really are.
