ELKHART, Ind. (AP) - The questions for Barack Obama from a crowdin Elkhart, Ind., aren't all friendly ones, and they aren't all
about the stimulus plan.
Obama responded to one question Monday about the tax problems
faced by some of his high-level nominees, saying the nominees had
made "honest mistakes."
But he also said his administration doesn't want to send a
message that there are "two sets of rules" - one for his
administration, and one for everyone else.
Two nominees, including Tom Daschle, who was in line to be
secretary of Health and Human Services, withdrew from
consideration. But Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was
confirmed.
Obama also reiterated that the ethics rules he's imposed on his
administration are seen as the "highest standards ever."
