President Bush’s budget director Rob Portman is resigning, citing the overused excuse that he needs to “spend more time with his family” in Ohio. From The Washington Times:
Mr. Portman, 51, who has three children, will be a power broker in Ohio, a key state in next year’s presidential election, campaign spokesmen said. Mr. Portman said yesterday that he is considering running for governor of Ohio.
Someone ought to tell Portman that is not how to convince people that you want to spend more time with your family.
