Senator Gregg Statement on His Withdrawal for Consideration of U.S. Commerce Secretary
Sen. Gregg stated, “I want to thank the President for nominating me to serve in his Cabinet as Secretary of Commerce. This was a great honor, and I had felt that I could bring some views and ideas that would assist him in governing during this difficult time. I especially admire his willingness to reach across the aisle.
“However, 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. Prior to accepting this post, we had discussed these and other potential differences, but unfortunately we did not adequately focus on these concerns. We are functioning from a different set of views on many critical items of policy.
“Obviously the President requires a team that is fully supportive of all his initiatives.
“I greatly admire President Obama and know our country will benefit from his leadership, but at this time I must withdraw my name from consideration for this position..."
drudge report via Brutally Honest
I mentioned two days ago that there was going to be trouble around moving the census of 2010 away from the Department of Commerce to the White House instead... and low and behold we have this breaking out. This is simply a breathtaking development friends... breathtaking.
Senator Gregg has in fact told the world that he is not going to work for an administration that commits illegal acts against our nation.
Yes, this is heating up indeed... and there are some who better start considering a possible need to take cover.

I applaud this guy for standing up for his principles and pulling his name out of the hat.
