Nowadays I'm enjoying the "no drama" image he's trying to build. This from the guy who parted the Red Sea, accepted the nomination in a football stadium complete with Roman columns!

"No drama?" Give me a break!

Out of 60 million people in the USA, President-Elect Obama is choosing Richardson to be 1 of less than 20 people to run the agency tasked with making sure that business and commerce are growing and healthy in this country. This is especially important now with the economy the way it is! Our economy is going nowhere but up and Richardson will be a very big part of it. This appointment will be a positive force for Hispanics too, especially those who have small businesses or who would like to start one. Look at the good side of things instead of having a prideful and/or entitlement attitude. Richardson will be a fine Commerce Secretary. To all who are dissapointed w/Commerce Sect'y for Richardson:

I was hoping that he would bring some fresh faces to Washington when he kept talking about change. It appears that Obama did nothing but talk about "change" yet the only change he is going to bring us is a change in which party is pointing the fingers and placing the blame. So much for all the hope for a brand new world in Washington. It looks like it will be the same people from the Clinton years running the country with the same old Democratic party.
