This is a weird one. Senator Gregg cited "irresolvable conflicts" with Obama's handling of the economic stimulus and 2010 census."

"Gregg gave Obama credit for reaching out to him. But, he cited "irresolvable conflicts" with Obama's handling of the economic stimulus and 2010 census.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Gregg said, "For 30 years, I've been my own person in charge of my own views, and I guess I hadn't really focused on the job of working for somebody else and carrying their views, and so this is basically where it came out."

Mwahaha, Heir Obama's efforts to build a one-party system are stemmed yet again. Things are looking bright, even in dark times.

The White House quickly issued a statement saying that Gregg was the one who originally offered his name for the job. Once it became clear he could not support all of the president's agenda, "it became necessary for Senator Gregg and the Obama administration to part ways," said presidential press secretary Robert Gibbs.
