Another "Screwed Up" Obama Nominee

This is all starting to get a little ridiculous. Obama's first pick for Commerce Secretary, Bill Richardson, had to withdraw his name when it was discovered that he was the subject of a federal grand jury investigation concerning influence peddling. Obama's second choice, New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg, first accepted and then rejected the nomination, citing irreconcilable policy differences (which included Gregg's objecting to the politicization of the Census by the Obama White House).

Next up: Former Washington Democratic Governor Gary Locke. So is the third time the charm for the president? Or, as columnist Michelle Malkin put it, "Is it possible for Barack Obama to pick a Commerce Secretary nominee who'll actually make it past first base?"

Locke may in the end get the votes he needs but he is a horrible choice for such a sensitive post. Allow me explain.

Nice of people to try to sound the alarm....but he’ll be confirmed anyway in this, our new reich.

The “problem” is that BHO wasn’t in the Senate long enough to find people he could ‘trust’ to take over various Cabinet posts. He is relying on both Clintoons and their ‘friends’ are so tainted that it’s a wonder any of them get past the vetting.

As long as Republicans can keep him busy scrambling to fill Cabinet posts, people will slowly come to realize that BHO is not only an empty suit, he has no true friends who’ll cover his back. Maybe Rahm, maybe not. Liberals have a tendency to want to cover their own arses if it comes down to choices.
