Judd Gregg Withdraws as Commerce Secretary nominee

What is the freakin' problem here?

"'I couldn't be Judd Gregg and serve in the Cabinet. I should have faced up to the reality of that earlier,' Gregg said. 'I've been my own person and I began to wonder if I could be an effective team player. The president deserves someone who can block for his policies. As a practical matter I can contribute to his agenda better--where we agree--as a senator and I hope to do that.'

'The fault lies with me,' Gregg said in an interview with Politico, refusing to discuss any conversations he has had with Obama himself. Asked if he felt the decision would be an embarrassment for the president, Gregg said, 'I may have embarrassed myself but hopefully not him.'
