WASHINGTON — Housing secretary Alphonso R. Jackson resigned on Monday, saying that he needed to devote more time to his family. The announcement came as federal authorities were investigating whether he had given lucrative housing contracts in the Virgin Islands and New Orleans to friends.

His resignation, effective April 18, also comes as the Bush administration is increasingly relying on the department’s Federal Housing Administration to help stanch the widening foreclosures.

2. highly suspicious that his resignation came on the day they are announcing the 'fed plan'

it's all about politics imho

[damntexdem]

3. Oh, he just misspoke!

He meant to say that he wanted to devote more time to his upcoming indictment. ;-)

4. His family was more important than taking care of a national crisis?

A true patriot would make the sacrifice and provide the support needed until a successor could be found before jumping ship.
