Nancy Killefer, President Obama’s nomination to the newly created post of Chief Performance Officer, is also out. The position was supposed to clean up government waste. She didn’t pay taxes for a year and a half on someone who was helping out around her house. Something 80-95% of normal Americans who have that luxury fail to do. President Obama admitted: “I screwed up.” (From the London Times, and the New York Daily News)
