I hope that he is criticized as he knew the outline long before he was offered the position.

4. Pres Obama is throwing some words |
|
at Gregg without mentioning his name. Gregg voted against the stimulus and has serious differences re the census. Fuck him. He should never have been nominated.
Vote him out.

rigidity and partisanship....that's OK. President Obama has offerred his hand and they chose not to be a team. Good. The nation will see their stripes. Frankly, I have been sick to my stomach the last few days with the MSM playing the repuke hand that being the contention that repukes didn't have a voice in the stimulus. Now, If only, the Dems will come out strongly and draw the picture for those whoaren't paying attention that the repukes have absolutely no intention of proceeding under bi-partisanship using the stimulus package and Gregg as examples.Their loss.

10. "So once again Obama reaches out his hand to the Republicans and they spit in his face." |

"I love it. How do people think this stuff is playing. The optics of this are wonderful for the dems. Every time a republican loses its mind we win more independents. It is like they don't know what to do with Obama. Gregg cited the census as a reason for not taking the job, a straight out of talk radio talking point. I replace Gregg with a seriously liberal. I do this as a message to the GOP take my hand or get what you get." - Post in Huffinton Post.

11. Join me in thanking Harry Reid for agreeing to push Judd for the job |
|
It is interesting that Judd told Obama that he was on board with everything. He had already seen the stimulus plan or knew what would be involved in the plan, yet he is trying to act as though he didn't know of it before accepting the nomination. He also said that his views conflicted with those of the Obama administration which is silly because they are no secret and he knew of them before he said yes.
He managed to use Harry Reid in addition to Obama and his administration. He is just like his colleagues in the GOP. He is a jerk.
