Judd Gregg withdrawl...

Sen Gregg (R-NH) has withdrawn his name from consideration for the Obama cabinet position of Commerce Secretary. He cites that he has irresovable conflicts with Obama administration.

"It has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the Census, there are irresolvable conflicts for me. Prior to accepting this post, we had discussed these and other potential differences, but unfortunately we did not adequately focus on these concerns. We are functioning from a different set of views on many critical items of policy."

What is up with Obama's cabinet appointments? For a campaign that prided itself on sound judgement in time of crisis and the what was billed as the smoothest quickest transition in history, they sure have made more than a few mistakes in picking the cabinet and getting down to fixing many of the messes made by the previous administration. I find all the rhetoric at this time of bi-partisanship to be a bit disenguine. The Republicans have no interest in being bi-partisan, their interest lies in stalling the Obama administration and attempting to make the new administration a failure. When will the Democrats and especially the Congressional leadership get the backbone that the last two elections have inspired. We won the election with a resounding victory, ACT LIKE IT!
