IF YOU'RE SUCH A WEAK EXECUTIVE YOU LET THESE GUYS HANG YOU OUT TO DRY DURING THE HIRING PROCESS...:

Daschle Knew of Tax Issues Over Car Use Last June (SHERYL GAY STOLBERG and ROBERT PEAR, 2/01/09, NY Times)

President Obama’s choice for health secretary, Tom Daschle, was aware as early as last June that he might have to pay back taxes for the use of a car and driver provided by a private equity firm, but did not inform the Obama transition team until weeks after Mr. Obama named him to the health secretary’s post, senior administration officials said Saturday.

As Senate Democrats rushed to save the nomination of Mr. Daschle, their former leader, the White House spent the day trying to explain how he survived its vetting process despite his failure to pay $128,000 in taxes.

The White House would not say when the president himself learned of the tax issue, but said Mr. Obama is standing by his nominee.

...why would they respect you once they have the job?
