An Obama cabinet nominee withdraws...

... but not for his tax problems -- but because he disagrees with the Boss.

How refreshing! A matter of policy and principle (not an exposure of greed and double standards).

NRO links to a discussion about Sen. (R N.H.) Judd Gregg's nomination and subsequent withdrawal.

A president can certainly appoint whomever he (or she) chooses, although it undercuts high hopes for bipartisanship that Gregg is a Republican. But it should perhaps come as no surprise that he has policy differences with the president.
