Gregg Resignation Gives Obama Pause, But No Compromise

Listen as this liar disguises the real reasons that Senator Gregg resigned as Commerce Secretary nominee:



"He had a change of heart about leaving the Senate", is the misdirection he's holding up with one hand, while sticking law after regulation in the "stimulus" bill. Barry is tap dancing, and showing what looks like a genuine smile on his face above, despite two crashing embarrassments accrue in this departmental appointment alone. What about the flops in the other parts of the cabinet?

I like the fact that the Obama camp knew that Gregg had a reputation for being somewhat strict and principled when it came to budgets, and yet they picked him to be the head of a federal agency that was about to be the cover for MUCH rule-bending, rule-breaking, and outright tyranny.

They expected to perform this overnight takeover of our economy with a Republican fall guy at the helm. Someone they could say was a financial miser and only spent the money necessary for the nation’s recovery…and they couldn’t buy him off to do it.

My bet is the administration is going to end up with a black eye over this (downplayed and minimized as much as possible by the MSM, ‘natch) for a half a day, then they’ll dazzle us with the third person nominated to do their deed. Meanwhile, a moment to stop, reflect, and maybe correct yourself a bit will be lost on the Great O. I don’t think he has the upbringing to do such a thing.

Gregg couldn’t lend his name to what he saw coming. Rare that we find someone willing to risk what could have been a position full of perks, payoffs, and pensions for the holder.

Principled people like Gregg befuddle the Harvard Law grad Barry.
