Budget Director Rob Portman is leaving to 'spend time with the wife and kids'. He also hinted that he may reenter public life as a candidate for Governor of Ohio or Senator in the future. I most remember him during his tenure as US Trade Representative. It was during the crucial fight for approval of the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) that he met with some wavering House members in a closed-door meeting in Cheney's Capitol Hill office to 'convince' them to vote for its passage. Thanks to his efforts, the bill passed the House on a 217-215 vote.
So long Rob. Don't let the door.....
