"Other presidents have had problems with their early apointees, certainly Bill Clinton had problems ... it was his third choice to be Attorney General before he decided on Janet Reno back in 1993," Woodruff said on the impact of the Gregg withdrawal on President Obama's Cabinet. "It is a setback but it's early ... I don't think you can say that it's a death-blow."
