4. The census thingy
Obama wants to remove the census from Commerce.
The fascists have got their panties all in a knot over this.

President Obama, I beg you. Please stop trying to make nice with the fascists.

5. Other: because his party (and the people of NH) didn't like the deal about his replacement.
She was such an obvious Gregg puppet she might as well had strings on her head.

6. Other: He is republican and didn't get what he wanted in the job
He wanted to control the census and Obama didn't leave that in the commerce dept.

Another spoiled cry baby republican.

8. 2010
He probably figured he has a better chance of holding the NH senate seat as a GOP seat than a no name replacement.

13. He couldn't sincerely work for the benefit of all Americans . . .
and remain a Republican. The two are mutually exclusive, and it took him this long to figure that out.

15. Republicans never do anything FOR the country.
Their loyalties are to 1) their wallet; 2) their corporate masters; 3) the party. Their country & their constituents don't even make the top ten.

20. Oh FUCK this shit.
He's a little busy, in case you haven't noticed. With about a thousand things. And he isn't fucking Superman.

18. Yeah, Obama has shown over and over again
that he always gets out-maneuvered by mediocre Republicans.

Yeah. I keep forgetting that Obama isn't all that bright.

And how about the way the classless piece of shit bowed out? Never, EVER trust a 'puke. They'd rape their mother and lie about it to get a buck.

23. Other, he's got a secret
only time will tell. I don't care if it's someone talked him out of it because he doesn't care for helping people and his heart isn't in it or because he kills little animals-he's got a secret period. Maybe some day we will find out.

24. they want to pick a couple of Dems..
Edited on Thu Feb-12-09 08:15 PM by stillcool
off of the Senate and filibuster!!
edit to add: I didn't realize that the filibuster is no longer a threat. I guess he was taking some kind of heat that was too much for him.

25. I think Tweety had a good point
He watched as several senators outside the administration had critical influence on the stimulus bill while he was out of the loop on the inside. Stripping the census from his department really made his position clear. I'm glad he's gone.

27. That news came out after I posted the poll!
I think this may have been the reason, but I doubt anyone will admit it.
