WASHINGTON - Former Sen. Tom Daschle, picked by President Barack Obama to lead his health reform efforts, recently filed amended tax returns to report $128,203 in unpaid taxes and $11,964 in interest, according to a Senate document obtained by The Associated Press.
The White House acknowledged Friday that "some tax issues" had emerged in connection with the nomination, but a spokesman said the president is confident the former Senate Democratic leader will be confirmed as the new health secretary.
Daschle filed amended tax returns for 2005, 2006 and 2007 to reflect additional income for consulting work, the use of a car service and reductions in charitable contribution deductions. He filed the returns after the announcement that Obama intended to nominate him to head the Health and Human Services Department.

Purely, one of Obama's 'political payback' appointments (like Clinton as SOState). Daschle has absolutely no business being at HHS.
But hey, that's 'change'. lol

Wirelessly posted (hope is everything!)
So if he hadn't been nominated he would not have filed these amended tax returns?

Never was a big Daschle fan. Especially when he was a senator.

Apparantly democrats don't like to pay their own taxes they just want everyone else to pay more and more.

Daschle had NO intention of personally funding a portion of the 'Big Bailout of 09'

I am starting to think he likes people who cheat, lie, and can't manage their own taxes..
Kind of sad that these top picks, can't even file and honest tax return...
I do believe a regular citizen would be in the federal joint if we even attempted these antics....
Sad, very, very sad!

that would be a half brother who doesn't know the President. He was arrested with one joint on him and the police quote is "He is not a drug peddler," Omokulongolo told The Associated Press. "But it's illegal, it's a banned substance."
hardly damming, since in more than one state here he would walk away with just a citation.

Hey, he promised to lower everyone's taxes, he's just finding advisors to help him on that. They seem to have jointly decided that the best way to lower your taxes is to not pay them!

i get the sarcasm, I do. Daschle's problem was a result of hundreds of thousands of $$ of income to result in him not paying on it. Also he did not try to use turbo tax himself to do his taxes.

Sen. Tom Daschle has asked that his name be removed from consideration.

Biggest issue I have on this thread is with Dawg, and it's with the title. There is only one "Big O" and that is Oscar Robertson.
And now, onto our regularly scheduled programming.....
