Wow. All of a suden they are all stepping down. It's kinda like a new trend. —FellowWiki Newsie 21:32, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

It does seem that way! Eric Wester 21:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah...It's almost like a fashion trend but this one is in politics. —FellowWiki Newsie 21:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm liking this trend. 71.84.195.131 22:39, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

With any luck, this will go the way of all American trends and eventually come invading accross the Atlantic and into the UK... Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 22:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Wow

By the time of the next presidential election, there will be an entirely new cabinet anyway! Contralya 06:20, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Cancer

Cancer isn't something I'd wish on anyone, even the PR front-man for GWB. On the other hand, what exactly does it say about the U.S. medical system that someone in his position has issues with the cost of treatment? --Brian McNeil / ^talk 14:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

No kidding! Someone making $168,000 can't afford the medical costs? But how is leaving a job going to help him to afford the treatment? Will he qualify for Medicare then? Jcart1534 14:58, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

It seems to me that the cancer is used as an excuse to hide the real reason. Contralya 21:00, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah...that was exactly what I was thinking. How can you leave a job (where you get paid) because of the cost of medicine! It's an excuse. —FellowWiki Newsie 15:42, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

You can bet that anyone who has held this position gets a generous Govt. pension as soon as they leave the post. He's probably able to supplement that with work for industry that is highly lucrative. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 17:08, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
