Obama's Handling of Judd Gregg Was Pure Amateur Hour

Republican Senator Judd Gregg has announced he will is withdrawing his name for Commerce Secretary. See commentary here at “We did not adequately focus on these concerns.”

Senator Gregg is a honest intelligent man from needless to say a very engaged civic minded state. As I mentioned earlier on my sick bed I was astonished that tv news is such bad quality There was no indication the car crash that was occurring here.

A few observations-

Where the heck is VP Joe Biden? Obama lack of experience is showing. Surely long time Senator now VP Biden recognized that too offer the Commerce Job to a Republican and then make him look like a idiot when you are going to take the Census duties away from him because of political pressure was bad bad bad. Did he tell him this was no way to treat a former colleague?

Are we seeing a disturbing pattern where President Obama seems not be guiding others but is pretty much bowing down to whatever special interest group wants? This bizarre power play on the Census is something I would never imagine happening but it did.

When is the Press going to realize a lot of this bipartisan talk is phooey?

President Obama should have stuck back Senator Gregg. If Immigration reform is truly a project of Obamas ( I have posted I have doubts) then his heading of the Commerce Department would have come in handy in order to get bi partisan support. Think back to how often you saw Bush's Commerce Secretary on the Sunday News Shows on the issue
