What more is there really to say about the issue. The guy withdrew his name out of the hat because He cheated on his taxes. It came to light and the chief executive took personal responsibility. He admitted he "screwed up". That admission in itself is like a cool breeze in a stuffy attic. However, were not exactly talking about subversion of the constitution or anything. Before we play victim, lets wait for the felony.

He has and he will. After all, he is going to be the most scrutinized president in history. Sad this scrutiny found itself 8 years too late.

Obama knew he didn't pay taxes and still tried to push him thru, it was not until everyone knew that he apologized.

That being said, he did stand up and take the blame ....
But why would he be approved knowing his taxes were not paid? Whats next?
