“I screwed up," President Obama said yesterday in reference to Daschle-gate, adding, “I’m frustrated with myself” for unintentionally sending a message that there are “two sets of rules” for paying taxes, “one for prominent people and one for ordinary folks.”
“I take responsibility for this mistake,” he told Fox News.
"I think in the interest of getting those appointments, the president trumped the principles he laid out in the campaign and he took responsibility for that," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said earlier today.
We're just wondering something. If you "screwed up" and unintentionally sent a message that there are "two sets of rules" and that "the president trumped the principles"... why are Geithner, Geithner's top aide and recent lobbyist Mark Patterson, and Deputy Attorney General William J. Lynn still on the payroll?
So, you are a liar? There really ARE "two sets of rules" here, Mr. President.
If anyone can make sense of this and prove that the President is not lieing and is not demonstrating a double standard, comment below.
We're not buying it.
