Gregg has to be careful how he puts this, he does not to give them a chance to blatantly accuse him of deliberately provoking a fight. I know it sucks but Obama has to look not dumb on this, not play victim.
Yep, he should have just withdrawn and shut up - this is pitiful.
But he did at least raise the profile of the census takeover.
Speech he gave isn’t the one posted at the top of the link!
Who got to him?
According to the Union Leader, Gregg won’t seek re-election in 2010, either.

Maybe he’s sick as well as sick and tired.
I will continue to represent the people of New Hampshire in the United States Senate.
OBAMA BURNED: GREGG WITHDRAWS AFTER POLICIES TOO MUCH TO STOMACH
‘We are functioning from a different set of views’...
‘I may have embarrassed myself but hopefully not [the president]’...

Their desire to kill off (politically) the last conservative on the Eastern Seaboard like they did for over 30 years (converting dems to run as rinos and destroying the GOP in the east) has failed.
In terms of Obama, IMHO fhe momentum is shifting, the wheels are loosing, but they are not quite off the bus...
IMHO, he (along with Laura Ingraham) are partly responsible for the 2006 low turnout and rout due to their incessant whining about the GOP. It got to the point that I am forever lost as a listener to the both of them...
Is he going to re-join the Judds now?
I don’t think this guy was a RINO. Based on what I’ve heard he has always been a pretty strong conservative. The worst that can probably be said was that he was a bit naive in believing that 0bama was serious about wanting all different types of ideas.
In any event, he threw a way a chance to be a courtier at Versailles, er, a member of 0bama’s cabinet to working in a minority party. It’s not quite throwing the Ring in Mt. Doom - or whatever it was called - but it is an act of political courage in this day and age.
You are probably right, but since I couldn’t stomach Colmes I rarely watched him.
Had he formally resigned his Senate seat yet?
I was talking about his radio show. I don’t have cable so don’t see the shout shows much. What I have seen of H & C, I’m with you.
He knew or should have known what a twerp Bambi is.
That’s encouraging.
Especially what the dim said.
