WASHINGTON (AP) - Nancy Killefer, who failed for a year and a half to pay employment taxes on household help, has withdrawn her candidacy to be the first chief performance officer for the federal government, the White House said Tuesday. Killefer was the second major Obama administration nominee to withdraw and the third to have tax problems complicate their nomination after President Barack Obama announced their selection.
The White House said Obama had accepted Killefer's decision and that the 55-year-old executive with consulting giant McKinsey & Co., would explain her reasons for pulling out later Tuesday.

I take an even greater joy in his failures, I laugh at every stumble he makes, ridicule his errors, and applaud his mistakes.
Not everyone has a tax problem. But the high percentage of people Obama has nominated for cabinet-level positions who have tax problems might explain why Democrats tend to think that all businessmen and businesswomen are crooks. I would posit that belief might have formed because all DEMOCRAT businessmen and businesswomen (or at least an exceedingly high percentage) ARE CROOKS. That might be because most of the so-called leadership in the DEMOCRAT PARTY ARE CROOKS!
And what exactly is a 'performance czar' anyway?? Good grief, so many new things to learn about...like 'the office of the President-elect' and its logo and that ugly gold curtain 0bama stands in front of that makes him look sickly.
It’s all part of Obama’s econmic plan to get money for the government one nominee at a time. :)
A tax cheat a day
drives Barry all the way
Change, as in ka-ching, what we’ll have left
Hope, as in hope nobody’s paying attention.

See, I told you drugs were no good for you.
Here’s an idea. Try hiring on people to your cabinet who wash their own clothes and dishes, cook their own meals, buy their own groceries and raise their own kids.
Now we know why Dems are not opposed to higher taxes: they just don’t pay them.
There won’t be anyone left in the Democratic party pretty soon that he can appoint. He’ll have to start appointing Republicans.
She's probably too busy hiding her own tax returns.
What is the limit you can pay casual part time household help before you must pay taxes?
It would seem that you could make them contract labor, do a 1099 and have them responsible for their own taxes?????
What the heck is a performance czar”?
I wonder how many DU and Kos types will wake up and realize that their party is openly showing how much contempt they have for the little people, nominating wealthy tax crook after wealthy tax crook while expecting them to pay their "fair share".
I think it’s based on 0-60 time and 1/4 mile time.
I like your tag line.
One wonders whether P.J. O’Rourke will write a sequel to his “Parliament of Whores”, and call it “Cabinet of Cheats” . . . .
ROFLMAO
