No one has voted on this question yet :(
3 years, 3 months ago about Judd Gregg

Judd Gregg, why did he withdraw as Obama's commerce secretary?

He cited "irresolvable conflicts" between himself and President Obama. What exactly could those have been?

"Here is the statement the White House just put out on kicking Judd Gregg to the curb, in full:

“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”.

Translation: Gregg asked us for the gig and lied to us, so eff him, this is his fault.

As one longtime White House correspondent just told me, "I have never seen a White House statement that kicks someone in the balls that hard before."" -- http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/02/obama-dumps-gregg-hard-and-angry.html

Richardson withdrew because of a federal probe of campaign contributions in his state.

Gregg withdrew when he found out he would have to share census information with the White House, which would prevent him from assisting in gerrymandering voting districts ala Delay style (only on a national level) for 2012. He was a poser, a right-wing wolf in bi-partisan sheep's clothing, feigning bi-partisan efforts in an attempt to infiltrate, divide and conquer the Democratic majority and assist in obstructing the Obama White House. In otherwise, his attempt were thwarted, so he took his tea set and went home.BUSTED

He resigned because he could he is fiscally conservative...a trait which might be of benefit during these difficult economic times. He couldn't support a trillion dollar pork package full of unnecessary spending.
