I never understood why the Obama administration would have picked a conservative Republican who disagrees with them on everything for Commerce Secretary. In the end, it turns out that Judd Gregg
didn't understand it either:
"It has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the census there are irresolvable conflicts for me," Gregg said in a statement to be released by his office. "Prior to accepting this post, we had discussed these and other potential differences, but unfortunately we did not adequately focus on these concerns."
OK, now that we got that one out of the way, can we please get a Democrat, preferably a Progressive, as Commerce Secretary? Thank you.
