VABills Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Sure there will be lots of change. Corruption already has prompted Richardson to withdraw as Commerce sec. Who's next? I love change. If we didn't have change we wouldn't have so much fun inside the beltway. Change you can believe in. It's really just a matter of changing the R or D after the name. Otherwise, business as usual.

Got ya. Politics as normal from the left. Do what you say not what you do. Did you read the part about how Obama forced him to withdraw his name? Obama is making sure his house is clean; thanks for pointing out the contrast with the current Admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got ya. Politics as normal from the left. Do what you say not what you do. Oh, you mean the cabinet that doesn't techincally exist yet? The ones who aren't in charge of anything for another two and a half weeks? Yet they're being ousted BEFORE having been given any responsibility AT ALL? Yeah, quite a comparison indeed! And I believe your kind pronounces it "gotcha," darn tootin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, only applies to the repubs right with their pick of Palin and pregnant daughter. The Palin problem was less the choice than the insult of keeping her once he found out what a complete and utter embarrassment she was. This is exactly like the Palin choice (minus the importance of the position: VP vs. Commerce Secy) except that in this case, Obama is dumping Richardson.

Got ya. Politics as normal from the left. Do what you say not what you do. Politics as normal from the left? And what would politics be from the right? How many people on the right have been or currently under investigation? Don't throw stones. I just how for the first time in 8 years the right is worried about spending. Cracks me up.

blzrul Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Not that anyone here cares about the facts but, not only does Obama not yet HAVE a cabinet, as already pointed out, but Richardson is not the target of this investigation, which has been underway for awhile. The subject of the investigation is CDR, a CA company which received payments totalling about $1.5m in 2004-2005 for work on a NM transportation program. Allegations were made that there was "pay for play" in getting the contracts, via someone in the NM government. CDR and its CEO together combined to contribute $110k to three political committees that were formed by Richardson. There have been no allegations of any money going to Richardson, or that he benefited in any way. The investigation has been in process for awhile and was expected to have been completed by now, meaning that the path to confirmation for Richardson would be clear. Since the investigation is not done, and with the Blago234erfe@$"vich mess hanging in the air, Richardson decided it would be better to step aside now rather than to add an additional distraction. Nice try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
