What is gained by stonewalling? (Score 1)

What exactly is to be gained by stonewalling? Obama is not the president yet, but in 40+ days, the stonewalling will be a moot point. Griffin could be out on his ear and replaced. And from the industry's point of view.... You stonewall (at the behest of Griffin) for the next few weeks. Then when the new person comes in you say what?! Sorry. Yes, we would still like to be considered for future rocket contracts.
