Obama: "Ultimately, it’s important for this administration to send a message that there aren’t two sets of rules, one for prominent people and one for ordinary folks who have to pay their taxes.”
Unfortunately, events don't parse that way. The nomination wasn't pulled after learning of the problems, it was pulled after growing criticism. From the article:
"I read the New York Times," Daschle told Mitchell, adding: "I can't pass health care if it's too much of a distraction ... so I called the president this morning."
It is by no means clear whether the standard is a Presidential view of integrity, or a political view of what the market will bear.
