Gregg: Obama will be an effective and good president

From Gregg's press conference:

Says Obama "has aggressively reached across the aisle." Says Obama "will be a strong and effective and good president."

Says he will be "more effective" for Obama in the Senate.

Says administration is doing "extraordinary job" of managing financial crisis.

"I made a mistake. I should have focused sooner on the implications of my being in the cabinet versus ... doing my own job."


These statements are helpful, because they deflect the incoming GOP spin that Gregg was just going to be a token that Obama was using to insincerely claim bipartisanship. Still not too great to bring up more discussion of the flawed transition process.
