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