Anyone who still claims that Obama is bringing a new way to doing business to DC is a fool:
“If a Bush appointee got rich off of Wall Street in this climate, had a chauffeur from one of his fat cat cronies, had unpaid taxes that amounted to more than what most people make in a year, and then the administration tried to fix it behind closed doors. Democrats would call for his head and would demand ‘accountability,’” said a top Senate GOP aide.
The person referred to is, of course, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, Obama’s choice for HHS. This is what Democrats do – they cover for their corrupt members. Only the risk of electoral defeat makes Democrats move to punish a miscreant member of their party. Blagojevich is out because he risks not only the Governorship, but a Senate seat as well, in the 2010 elections. Daschle doesn’t risk any particular seat, so its ok and he gets a pass…now, if we GOPers could just figure a way to have Daschle put a Democrat seat at risk somewhere, Democrats would give him the boot in a heartbeat.
All of you liberals out there who were shouting for blood over the alleged crimes of the Bush Administration – where are you now? Demand Daschle withdraw or be known forever as hypocrites.
