It certainly became an important Cabinet seat after Bubba moved the decision-making authority concerning trade of sensitive technology from DOD to Commerce. I’m sure the Chinese Army appreciated the value of the Commerce cabinet post.

For reasons we can all figure out no media has bothered to investigate Richardson’s nasty effort to force gambling on the Navajo reservation. The trail leads back to New Jersey and to others who would benefit and have worked with Richardson for a long time.

Great point. I asked another friend: “what does the Commerce Secretary do anyway” He said: “I think they are in charge of corruption”. Thinking back, it was the right answer. Aren’t the Commerce Secretaries always the ones being indicted? Ron Brown, etc. So Richardson was perfect for the job, and was just doing what Obama needs someone to do!

.......“what does the Commerce Secretary do anyway”.....

He allows the bodies of murdered naked staffers to accumulate in his offices. He goes on airplanes that crash and his body turns up with a 45 caliber hole in his skull.

I worked for an outfit overseas one time that shared space with the commerce department and I can tell you from first hand experience, the whole thing could be cut and it would be no loss to taxpayers.

FROM:

...A textbook case of corruption.
Here are some quick facts:

4. CDR was involved in possible corruption in Philadelphia from 2000-2003.

Wonder how this connects with:

Burris has gone on to receive over $1 million in no-bid, low-effort “consulting” contracts from Illinois State agencies under the Governor’s control as well as a $5000/month “retainer” from Loop Capital, headed by BHO homie Jim Reynolds.

Jim Reynold is one of BO longest and best friend. Loop Capital is also partly run by Craig Robinson BO’s BIL.

“In 2003, James Reynolds, A Chicago Investment Banker Who Is A Member Of Obama’s National Finance Committee, Was Recorded On FBI Wiretaps Arranging What Prosecutors Said Was A “Sham’ Consulting Contract With A Woman They Called The “Paramour’ Of A Mayoral Adviser In Philadelphia. His Firm Later Won $300,000 Worth Of City Contracts.” (Ken Dilanian and Matt Kelley, “Fundraisers Linked To Corruption Cases,” USA Today, 10/16/08)
