President Obama’s choice for the position of chief White House performance officer has withdrawn from consideration for the post, an administration official said Tuesday, after coming forward with concerns about her tax returns.
Nancy Killefer, appointed by the president last month to a new position to scrutinize government spending, told the administration on Monday that she intended to step down from the position at the Office of Management and Budget. An administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the announcement was not finalized, confirmed that Ms. Killefer’s withdrawal came because of questions with her taxes. Update: In her resignation letter to Mr. Obama, she described the problem as a tax-related issue stemming from Washington, D.C. unemployment.
The withdrawal, first reported by NBC News, came as the White House was already grappling with controversy over the tax returns of Tom Daschle, the president’s choice to lead the Health and Human Services Department. Ms. Killefer’s post, as a deputy at O.M.B., required Senate confirmation.

Unbelievable.
Ah, the Leona Helmsley Administration.
Note to OhloyO - Corruption is NOT ok. This consistency in tax cheats you are hiring is symptomatic.
“Killefer”
Appropriate name for a pro-babymurder democrat
The pool of democrats who are NOT tax cheats must be incredibly small.
Daschle and Geitner should take her lead
so, tim gietner(sp) and Dashole have no problems being scofflaws. of course I cant believe an appointee has any morals
But the male tax cheats get administrative support while the female gets pressured to quit? That’s gender equity for you.
Very good catch.
New logic table:
1) Is democrat? (Yes/No)
2) If yes - - > tax cheat and crook
3) If no - - is liberal? (Yes/No)
4) If yes — tax cheat, liar, poor education and criminal.
5) Is Illegal alien? (Yes/No)
6) If yes, is democrat, tax cheat, crook, poor education, and criminal.
Probably, no publisher would even consider publishing it except as "Fiction".
Seriously, if any of this gaggle of democrat tax cheats had (R)’s next to their name, their would be calls for their withdrawal.
The hits just keep on coming!
I think we all need to send fake letters to our Democrat “friends”....saying....”You have been selected to be vetted for the Obama administration”.....the TAX Rolls would probably increase by 50%
This has to get out and be repeated on the talk shows:
No wonder Dems don’t mind high taxes,
they don’t pay them anyway.
And if all these....scum...had not been nominated to administration posts, no one would be the wiser to their tax cheating.
