WASHINGTON - NBC News confirms from Democratic sources that former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., has accepted President-elect Barack Obama's offer to be Secretary of Health and Human Services.

 

The appointment has not been announced, but officials said the job is Daschle's barring an unforeseen problem as Obama's team reviews the background of the South Dakota Democrat.

 

In addition, an official with Obama's transition team says Daschle will oversee Obama's health policy working group.

Change you can believe in.

:bunny:

Change seems pretty much like the status quo so far. No Washington outsiders named. All extremely liberal Dems.

 

Pretty much what I expected.

Tom Daschle? Seriously?

 

I would have rather gone with Howard Dean.

Assuming Daschle is a father, does that make him HHSDad? :scared:

Yes.

It is obvious change - it is no longer the neo-cons running the government. Daschle is considered by many to have an expertise in the health care/insurance field. Check out his book.

 

FWIW - change doesn't come from people it comes from ideas.

God, duh....

Where do ideas come from?

Books. And books come from trees. That's why Al Gore refuses to read any of them.

Who has Obama appointed so far that constitutes change in Washington? The same people that have been there for years? Gotcha.

More Kool-Aid.

 

My advise to anyone that still owes a balance on a hospital bill is don't pay it. It won't be long, now, until we all get free healthcare provided by our new socialized government.

Meet the new boss.

Same as old boss.
