Poll question: Is this Daschle $140,000 tax embarrassment a PR disaster that President Obama can/can't shake off?

If it was a shrub appointment wouldn't we be screaming, 'oh great a tax cheat of huge proportions getting the job shortly after another tax cheat gets the Treasury job!'?

I am disgusted that he would want Daschle, who screams "beltway", anyhow. Plus he was a lobbyist who made over $2 million doing fundraisers using his name for the firm. I'm not saying he won't do a fine job, but wasn't Dr. Dean good enough? Or others who weren't paid lobbyists? It seems like a PR disaster that will get 'set' in average Americans minds that the Obama Adm. is full of tax cheat (so why pay our taxes!), because Geitner was just in the press giving Obama unwanted press for his tax dalliances. Now Daschle.
