Nancy Killefer, President Obama’s nominee to chief performance officer for the federal government has withdrawn her nomination:
When her selection was announced by President Barack Obama on Jan. 7, The Associated Press disclosed that in 2005 the District of Columbia government had filed a more than $900 tax lien on her home for failure to pay unemployment compensation tax on household help.
So after fighting hard for male tax cheat Geithner, and while continuing to battle hard for the male tax cheat Daschle, Obama throws the female tax cheat under the bus.

it's a ploy
furrier (Diary) Tuesday, February 3rd at 11:53AM EST (link)The point of Killefer’s withdrawal is to increase the chance of confirming Daschle. “Throw them a bone so they can say they nixed an appointment before confirming Daschle.”
Gotta give Barry credit...

Huh?
Jay_Cee Tuesday, February 3rd at 12:15PM EST (link)“Records show that Killefer owed $298 in unemployment compensation for household help, $48.69 in interest, and $600.00 in penalties.”
From a $ standpoint, this is nothing. She misses $300 in taxes and gets tossed under the bus while Daschle misses $140,000 and gets a pass? I don’t get it.
We now know why Dems think taxes aren't high enough

Like Tom Daschle, I'm deeply disappointed...
furious (Diary) Tuesday, February 3rd at 12:53PM EST (link),,,and saddened. Deeply.
I think the lesson we can draw from the Obamanees’ confirmation mishaps is that we need a Tax Code that…
1>a Treasury Secretary
2>a Performance Czar
3>an HHS Secretary candidate, and..
4>…what the heck, the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee…
…can understand.

furious (Diary) Tuesday, February 3rd at 12:56PM EST (link)When it’s a MALE nominee (Geithner, Daschle, who knows) with delinquency problems it’s “I forgot” and “we all make mistakes” and “approved in committee on a party-line vote”.
When it’s a female nominee or candidate (Killefer, CarolineK) with a nanny problem it’s “so long, Sister!”.
Doesn’t seem fair or Hopey-Changey, at all.
