THIS IS WHAT MADE HIM TENDER HIS RESIGNATION....

Glad Obama got stuck on this one but Gregg looks BAD. No way he didn’t know what he was getting into. I sure hope the GOP replaces him in 2010. Obama may look bad in this one but Gregg looks worse.
I'll second that.
Going to re-run this for clarity and 'emphasis'. . .
Am wondering if disagreement over 'policy issues' included this stomach ache. Suspect it does - per following headline at American Thinker.
Commerce Department Unilaterally Lifts Some Sanctions Against Syria. . .

Now what?
They cant find a dem that’s paid taxes.
To me, neither Obama or Gregg looks good in this. A lot of intrigue that went wrong. Gregg is rumored to be not running for re-election in 2010, so this may end up as a Dem pickup seat in two years. I think Gregg is the only conservative republican left in the northeast.
I think the Twin Jezebels have NO sense at all. Talk about STUPID!
And what about Arlen Sphincter?
No. Not only do they not have consciences, their right/wrong judgment go into negative numbers.
Taking a Cabinet seat from the senate and/or the opposition party is a total career ender. Examples: William Saxbe, Edmund Muskie, James Schlesinger, David Gergen, William Cohen..
Too bad he didn’t stay and then blow the whistle on them all
Judd Gregg snaked the snakes in the White House who were too clever by half. Talking about you Rahm and Axelrod
Their obvious scam was to make a Republican take the blame when Comrade 0’s Soviet style economic plans come a cropper
THIS IS WHAT MADE HIM TENDER HIS RESIGNATION....
The only thing that has changed since Greg said he would take the job is his being humiliated by emanuel over the Census
Thanks!
Does Gregg just slide back into his Senate seat?
Good for Gregg.
Isn’t this the third cabinet person that has withdrawn?
I completely disagree! Obama looks like the partisan, jerk tyrant that he is. Gregg looks like someone as disgusted with the non-stimulus massive democrat spending bill and the census power grab as the rest of America.
I don’t know for sure, but I remember reading that being asked to serve the President was an honor that one did not reject out of respect for the office. I also don’t recall anyone turning down an appointment in the past, after it has been made public. Maybe it has happened and I just don’t recall my history well enough, but I think doing something like this is considered a real offense (etiquette-wise)and usually just does not happen. Wonder who Obama can convince to take this job now?
As I said on another thread, Drudge deserves credit for a great (and honest) headline. The rest of the media will be spinning this to make Obama look good, as we’ve already seen.
Also, I love the gentlemanly way that Gregg puts this. It makes Obama look all the worse. :-)
Political double speak.
If you are so against the polciies of the stimulus package and Census (as well you should be) that you must withdraw (not to mention the Syria issue) on principle, you cannot say out of the other side of your mouth that this nation will benefit from his leadership.
I am glad Senator that you are withdrawing on principle, but you also can't have it both ways.
Fact is, Obama is a marxist ideolog whose policies will be terrible for this nation...a disaster.
