Two more Obama nominees withdraw.

Two potential high level appointees to Team Obama have withdrawn their names from consideration. Dr. Sanjay Gupta asked that he not be considered as Surgeon General and Annette Nazareth withdrew as chief deputy to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

This begs for explanation as to why both suddenly withdrew their names from consideration. In view of other problems with nominees, the immediate thought arises that they may have tax issues. That appears not to be the case.

In view of the direction the administration seems to be going, perhaps both had second thoughts about becoming involved with such a train wreck of an administration.
