RICHARDSON JUST GOT FUCKED!!! By that, I mean New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (D) was recently named President-elect Obama's Secretary of Commerce. While this is still a substantial position, it is in a sense a political demotion.
Under Clinton Richardson was the Secretary of Energy, a position which managed a $25 billion budget and 100,000 employees. With Richardson's new position, he will be working with a $6.5 billion budget and 28,000 employees...considerably less than his previous post and considerably less than he deserves, and is capable of.
As many were, I was excited at the prospect of this extremely well qualified governor becoming Obama's new Secretary of State....as it turns out, that position is going to Hillary Clinton. This will hopefully prove to be a good appointment, and not Obama's first mistake.
