Obviously they would be. As would any sitting President would be. That is not news. When a deal goes south, isn't anyone involved in it also worried about how it affects their future? Had this happened in Obama's 2nd term, I doubt he would care as much. If I were retiring from say IBM and I didn't have any investments in it, would I care if the deal I negotiated went south? OTOH, if I am still dependent on the job, you bet I would care. So why should we be surprised that he is worried about his job status?
