Obama's Gregg Pick Worries GOP

GOP leaders are warning that President Barack Obama’s likely appointment of Republican Sen. Judd Gregg to serve as Secretary of Commerce could finally hand Democrats what they failed to win on Election Day: a 60-vote Senate majority that would render Republicans powerless to filibuster any legislation.

On Friday, reports surfaced that Gregg, of New Hampshire, is likely to be tapped by Obama this week for the job.

Gregg confirmed that he is under consideration for the post, describing himself as “honored.”

But the move has Republicans worried, as Gregg’s replacement will be made by New Hampshire’s Democratic governor, John Lynch.

Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., called Obama’s move “sneaky.” If a Democrat is appointed to fill Gregg’s slot, Republican senators will no longer have veto power over Democratic legislation.

Good.

Honestly, with a name like peaceandlove, why do you spend so much time posting **** from the American Right Wing Noise Machine?

It should be obviously that they have no concept of peace and love.

Actually Humble Janitor - Peace and Love's post sounds
like good news to me.

If the Democrats get a majority in the Senate, as
seems likely from this info, it will certainly help
Obama to get through the legislation he puts
before them.

The problem this week seems to have be that the Senate
have held up and been able to change the
Stimulas package. Well, that is their job I
know and can be positive. I know nothing of
American politics, but there does seem to be
a lot of bipartisanship, which Obama is
trying to alter

I know you, like me, feel Obama is 'in the light'
so let's applaude whatever can help him.
