For those of you upset with the lack of fortitude in the people who turned the President down...
Is it possible that they have something in their background that might embarrass the President or his administration and they didn't want to put us all through that?
Just another angle to toss into the mix. I think it is very easy for all of us to sit here and throw stones. But this is an exceptionally complex situation, and to ignore that fact just makes us look ridiculous.
