Portman in Novak column
White House Budget Director Rob Portman gets a mention in Robert Novak's column in today's Washington Post:
It is an offensive pressed on Bush by congressional GOP leaders and by his own budget director, Rob Portman, a former member of the House Republican leadership as a congressman from Ohio. Portman believes the 2006 electoral catastrophe in his state was caused mainly by Republicans losing the mantle of fiscal responsibility. Unless it is retrieved, Ohio -- and the presidency -- will go to the Democrats in 2008. By vetoes that would slice more than $20 billion in Democratic spending, Bush is seeking to transform that outlook. It will trigger an epochal political struggle in the months ahead.

Post a Comment*Amazing a wRong wingnut whacko gets mentioned in a wRong wingnut whackos column and then they both get mentioned in a wRong wingnut fishRap !
So, what CIA operative are they plotting to out for political gain ?
PATHETIC !
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2007 !
Doesn't Portman, along with GOP congressional leaders (?) get it? Americans, not just in Ohio, now see through their spin; they have seen Republican fiscal irresponsibility on the national level: Cash squandered from the very first days in Iraq, continuing until the present, especially among contractors; promises made in front of the cathedral in New Orleans to rebuild, but trailers for the displaced mired in mud in
Arkansas, and refrigerated trucks filled with ice sent all over the country; Medicare Prescription bill with "donut hole" because big Pharma controlled the GOP; huge interest payments to be paid by a future generation on national debt caused by an unnecessary war; our military hardware ruined by that same war and needing to be replaced; tax breaks for biggest incomes while military and veterans go without; bridge to nowhere and countless pork barrel projects of the last 6+ years.
Bush has lost all credibility, and so will Portman. Americans use the remote when Bush starts to speak.
Midnight Anon, looks like Portman agrees with you. He is resigning, for "family" reasons. Like he didn't figure out when he started working in DC that might be a problem!
Yet another rat deserting the sinking ship!
hopefully for portman, its novak who doesn't get it. either way, portman doesn't have too much time to figure out that america is tired of conservative hypocrisy.
