Change of Heart ?

The White House: Reports the reaction of the Obama Administration to the loss of the Gregg Nomination. The White House states the following, "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. " There is different view from Senator Gregg, in his view he didn't seek the office, he was chosen by President Obama not the other way around. The President has stated in a interview that it was Gregg that sought the office. Thus as stated in previous post a breakdown of communication. President Obama is finding that D.C rules are tough, politicians play to win, both in the Democratic and Republican Party.
