As I said, I found him very sincere.

1. I did to. He is not a bad man, he just made a mistake

[Sebastian Doyle]

5. No, he is a bad man.

Obviously you haven't read up on VilSuck.

He's nobody worth defending.

6. Maybe you disagree with Policy, has nothing to do with the man :)

2. As one of the many thousands here at DU who have never made an error of any kind

I have to conclude that this was all done on purpose to divert us from seeing that the post office is going to reduce its service from 6 days a week to 5 days a week.

You can't fool us Vilsack, no one ever has, we have a perfect record to defend.

3. Are you shitting me?! The post office is going down to 5 days a week? When does it start?! n/t

4. as soon as people look at the figures

the quantity that goes through the mail system has been declining steadily and when the recession hit it slumped by something like 30%.

If you go into the big processing centers of the post office it is like a ghost town operating at a fraction of capacity.

7. Wow...I'm shocked. But overall you are right. n/t

[Alcibiades]

8. I listened to this on the radio

Fire someone on Breitbart's say-so? If what he said about it being his decision was true, he should be fired.

That being said, I doubt this was his choice alone. Most likely, the president's political people had a shit fit about this, panicked, and rushed to judgment. Vilsack's taking one for the team.
