President Obama’s choice to lead the agency that guards United States airports abruptly withdrew his nomination on Friday night amid questions about his work as a defense contractor, the second time the White House has lost a nominee for the critical security post.


Maj. Gen. Robert A. Harding, a retired Army intelligence officer, was selected to take over the Transportation Security Administration, or T.S.A., just two and a half weeks ago, following the withdrawal of Mr. Obama’s first pick under fire.

No third choice was announced, and the back-to-back failed nominations mean that the job is likely to remain unfilled for months to come.

General Harding’s bid came unraveled after reports that his firm collected more federal money than it was entitled to for providing interrogators in Iraq. ....

Is it just me, or does he look REALLY constipated?  Maybe it's just him straining when people ask him tough questions, like, "Do you remember when Obama said he wouldn't be sleeping with lobbyists?"

Hmmm, I THOUGHT that 0bama supported "diversity"........

Take a look at his cabinet and one can see that he isn't being very "diverse" with his appointments.

just had the same thought. 

then again, the vrwc did cost him Tom Daschle, who would have upped the white male quotient considerably [/DUmmy]

The next nominee will probably be a union leader and a black midget lesbian

I noticed that the article didn't mention who was complaining about this nominee. I think it was the Dims or the far left.  Reason #1: If it had been an evil rethuglican, it would have been in the news that they were holding up his nomination. 2: The nominee that I've heard complaints about from conservatives is the nominee for the NLRB, Craig Becker.


I see there is a new thread needed about him, maybe.
