I'm a little bummed about Dr. Gupta. I really like him and I was intrigued about the possibility of him as SG.

6im kinda curious as to why sanjay gupta withdrew is name
7flutterpie, several nominees for top positions in Treasury have also withdrawn their names. I would hate to think it was a case of abandoning a sinking ship, and maintaining ones own reputation.
8wow a month in and its a sinking ship, either your a psychic grandpa or am i missing something?
9flutter, The Sect of Treasury has 17 deputy, each and every one of the proposed nominees have backed out. Please, PLEASE GOD, do not make me psychic. Prove me wrong, for the sake of my children, grandchildren, and my pension.
