4 strikes, you're out?

Yet another Obama person has just withdrawn their bid for some seat due to, you guessed it, tax problems.

First it was Bill Richardson.
Then there was Tim Geithner.
Then you had Tom Daschle.
Now we have Nancy Killefer - Obama's chief performance officer.

You know the saying, "Three strikes - you're out!" - well for some strange reason, Obama keeps getting away with nominating these people with all these tax problems. He had to have known about them, and he is still nominating them, and, when they don't withdraw, they are still getting appointed!

This is absolutely disgusting - someone needs to draw the line and say, you know what Obama, you may have won, you may have a Democratic majority in both houses, you may have a lot of stuff, but that does not mean you get to put in people who have all these issues, and have no one call you on it.
Sadly, I don't see a lot of people with the guts to take Obama on himself - I haven't seen anyone put any blame on him yet, and certainly the media isn't saying anything.
