Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood confirmed on Thursday that he will not serve in President Obama’s second term if the president is re-elected. Speaking to the Chicago Tribune, Lahood said that his current post would likely be his last in the public sector, explaining “I”m not running for public office anymore.”
It appears that the current environment in Washington has begun to grate on LaHood’s nerves. “Wouldn’t it be great if we could re-create that type of bipartisanship today,” he asked during his speech when referring to a highway bill signed by President Reagan passed by a Democratic Congress.
