Gregg Gets Booted from Quits Commerce

Via email:

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”.

I guess this is somewhat embarrassing for Obama as this is his second attempt to fill the Commerce position. But it’s just fine by me. It would be nice if Obama could find a nice Democrat to fill the position.
