Gary Cohen Resigns

[Yagents]

He will resign on March 31st. I don't know if this is a good thing for us, he has a long history with agents, and came around to the value that agents bring to the table. Being replaced by a doctor on an interim basis, could usher in someone that is anti-agent.

I prefer the devil that we know..............

If you don't know who Gary Cohen is, you're living under a rock.

I can't wait to see what position he accepts next. He has a lot of inside knowledge...

Probably an Exchange consultant for the troubled state exchanges

I'll also say, that with him leaving on March 31st, OE may actually end on that day too

Yeah, Quite possible.

Hard to believe I was the only vote for no extension on your poll.

A bit surprised he hasn't been offered a cabinet position, or ambassador.

If asked what went wrong he will plead the 5th.

He's obviously bolting to dodge the flaming arrow coming his way.

Smart move on this part...

(or maybe he's leaving the country for Mexico)
