This is just a comment but i think its important to focus on the just released statement by Gibbs on the Gregg withdrawal. Gibbs is laying the full blame on Judd Gregg and thank goodness
Will update with the full statement when i find it, but Gibbs made it clear that Gregg offered HIMSELF for commerce, and promised to work with the agenda of Obama!!!!
What a difference from rolling over like many dems.
Tweety just said it was nasty sounding lmao.
gah i cant find the press release yet
update
THanks to Kitty for the statement:
For Immediate Release February 12, 2009
STATEMENT FROM PRESS SECRETARY
ROBERT GIBBS
"Senator Gregg reached out to the President and offered his name for Secretary of Commerce. He was very clear throughout the interviewing process that despite past disagreements about policies, he would support, embrace, and move forward with the President's agenda. Once it became clear after his nomination that Senator Gregg was not going to be supporting some of President Obama's key economic priorities, it became necessary for Senator Gregg and the Obama administration to part ways. We regret that he has had a change of heart."
