TSA nominee withdraws amid 'political agenda'

And good for Jim DeMint....occasionally a Republican wakes up and see's something for what it is!!!!! SEIU MUST be stopped!

TSA nominee withdraws amid 'political agenda':

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's choice to lead the Transportation Security Administration withdrew his name Wednesday, a blow to an administration trying to explain how a man could attempt to blow up a commercial airliner on Christmas Day.

In a statement, Erroll Southers said he was pulling out because his nomination had become a lightning rod for those with a political agenda. Obama had tapped Southers, a former FBI agent, to lead the TSA in September but his confirmation has been blocked by Republican Sen. Jim DeMint, who says he was worried that Southers would allow TSA employees to have collective bargaining rights."
