The Obama administration's choice to lead the Transportation Security Administration is withdrawing his nomination.
In a statement, Erroll Southers says he is withdrawing because his nomination has become a lightning rod for those with a political agenda.

Looks like this defeat for Obama is being quietly slipped out on a day when everyone is busy paying attention to something else.
It's all falling apart for Bammy.

BULL CRAP
Americans are SICK of this unethical, corrupt administration and business as usual in Washington.

Go figure. Brown wins and then this clown removes his name from nomination. Sounds like Brown has already delivered.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
That’s a relief. But I have full confidence that BO & Co. will come up with someone equally as awful and equally as ill-disposed to actually protecting us from Islamic terror.

This is the bastid that stated that Christians, conservatives, pro-lifers, and patriots were more of a “terrorist threat” than jihadis,
and that “protesting is a form of low level terrorism”.

We need to continue with our prayers and our votes.
Also watch our backs and stay united!

Give credit where credit is due. Jim DeMint stopped this guy almost single handedly.
And say it with me again Freepers: There is a Republican in Ted Kennedy's seat. Learn it, live it, love it.... :)

Yes, all nominees of Obama are the same: clones of himself, but will the people understand?
