Democrats: Babes in the Woods

And let that be a lesson to you.

“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.” – WH Press Secretary Robert Gibbs

  The Plum Line

[Obama] confirmed that Gregg had been the one to initiate talks with the administration about becoming commerce secretary.

“Mr. Gregg approached us with interest and seemed enthusiastic,” Obama said, adding that it was “something of a surprise” that Gregg had withdrawn.

When are these people going to stop being surprised at Republican tactics? Perhaps Mr. Gregg thought this would be a fun way to screw with the Obama administration very publicly and very importantly, and make a very public and very important statement about the “liberal” administration’s policies being bad ones. You think maybe?

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.

"On the topic of Gregg, quick note to self: Don’t hire someone for a job who voted to abolish that job." -- Greg Sargent
