Mr. T Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Official: Performance czar withdraws candidacy WASHINGTON (AP) - Nancy Killefer, who failed for a year and a half to pay employment taxes on household help, has withdrawn her candidacy to be the first chief performance officer for the federal government, the White House said Tuesday.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. When her selection was announced by Obama on Jan. 7, The Associated Press disclosed that in 2005 the District of Columbia government had filed a $946.69 tax lien on her home for failure to pay unemployment compensation tax on household help. Since then, administration officials have refused to answer questions about the tax error which she resolved five months after the lien was filed. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.

calfoxwc Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 3 or 4 others should have withdrawn their names too. Obama's cabinet is bad medicine for ethics and honesty. What else can happen to Obama ? He needs to figure out how to hang around people that pay their taxes, and are not socialists or against parts of our Constitution (Hunter?) it is really starting to reek.
