That's too bad, he seemed like a good choice for the position.

Did CNN mention if there was more to the story, or what the "personal reasons" might have entailed?


though it wasn't included in the letter to the President, the story says that he may have had trouble with the legality of a domestic servant that he had and how that was reported to the IRS.

It's too bad. I think he would have been a good man for the job.
