Dropping Like, Well, Tax Cheats…

This just in from the White House:

Dear Mr. President, I recognize that your agenda and the duties facing your Chief Performance Officer are urgent. I have also come to realize in the current environment that my personal tax issue of D.C. Unemployment tax could be used to create exactly the kind of distraction and delay those duties must avoid. Because of this I must reluctantly ask you to withdraw my name from consideration.

I am deeply honored to have been selected by you and you have my deep appreciation for your confidence in me. You have my heartfelt support and best wishes for success in all your endeavors.

Respectfully yours,

Nancy Killefer

Killefer was recently named by President Obama as deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget, as well as Chief Performance Officer, responsible for performance management of the entire federal government.

Can Daschle be far behind?
