Just when I get my hopes up with his ethics requirements he turns into another politician. At least one of his appointees withdrew her nomination because of taxes (how is it that the party who thinks we worker bees should pay taxes seem to have so many problems paying them?). Then during his "I messed up" speech what it sounds like the problem was had to do with the message rather than it actually being wrong. He was upset that they appeared to be sending the message that there were two sets of standards. Appeared to be? There were two sets of standards and Obama himself built in that two-tiered system by allowing for wavers from the ethics requirements. If you listen to what he said in his mea culpa, it isn't he was sorry for giving his full support to people who had such problems but the image it created.
For a man swept in by "change" it sure looks like business as usual.
