Obama to nominate Richardson for Cabinet
Bill Richardson is New Mexico's governor, former U.N. ambassador
Richardson to be announced as commerce secretary nominee Wednesday
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President-elect Barack Obama plans to nominate New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson to be secretary of commerce, a Democratic source told CNN on Tuesday.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination this year.
The former Democratic presidential candidate's name has been bandied about as the next head of Commerce.
Obama spoke with Richardson about the position November 14, a senior Democratic source said. The source said Richardson has always been on Obama's list of possibilities for the key Cabinet position.
Richardson, 61, also traveled to Chicago, Illinois, in November to meet with Obama, according to a source.
"He brings to this plate, in particular in an era where the economy is the focus of attention, a lot of skills that could be put to use -- perhaps opening up marketplaces for U.S. products abroad," CNN senior political correspondent Candy Crowley said.
"In New Mexico, he sought to bring in new businesses and to create jobs ... so the Obama team considers this part of the economic team."

On the Fox News program Hannity & Colmes Monday night, analyst Dick Morris made the absolutely critical point that President Bush has taken the country so far to the left, in terms of his socialist-style Wall Street bailout program and his integration of the U.S. economy into a new emerging international financial order, that anything Barack Obama does in this area seems almost mainstream. This is because what we were expecting from Obama we are now getting from Bush. So Obama doesn't look so radical anymore.
Only chaos will save us!
ReplyDeleteNeighbor's A1 Market in Lewiston has broken the magic $1.50 barrier on gas prices---$1.49/gallon!
ReplyDeleteTeam Obama is not a clone of Team43, they will not be stopped with calls to Harry.
ReplyDeleteThere are fewer GOP Senators to intimidate, not enough to even filibuster the effort. McCain and Kyl, Saxby Chambliss and Lydsey Graham are already committed, to reform.
I'm afraid Rat's right.
ReplyDeleteThe Republicans have delivered the Nation to the Federal Socialists, even Dick Morris agrees.
ReplyDeleteTied a ribbon around it, they did.
Team Obama will be the third term of the Bush Administration, ain't that funny.
Arpaio will build the fence, securing the border. When that happens, more than half of the opposition to reform will evaporate.
ReplyDeleteThe fence could have been in place two years ago, with the same affect on reform.
Not arguing. Just observing.
If you liked GW Bush, why then Obama will suit you, just fine.
ReplyDeleteMore of the same, is one the way.
Staying the course!
But, lineman, Bush was in office, then.
ReplyDeleteObama is more pragmatic, he'll build the fence AND open the border. Bush liked the gray labor market economy, it is extensive in Texas and Arkansas.
Obama, an urban citizen, is not so enthralled by those that avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
Look at Newt's polling, the answers are there.
ReplyDeleteSecure the border = 86 to 12
More workers allowed in = 83 to 16
There is your winning position
The electorate did not believe that Bush would build the fence.
ReplyDeleteTheir instincts right on target, if Obama assigns that task to Sheriff Joe Arpaio, that misgiving evaporates.
No doubt some will still insist Carter was worse than Bush:
ReplyDeleteAt least we were still a capitalist country amneable to RR's fixes.
Who could reverse what Bush has done?
...in a multitude of areas.
With a secure border, the new arrivals can be controlled, their friends already here can be sorted out for legal amnesty, or not, and the burden on the tax payers can be reduced by legitimizing the labor pool. Absent that border control, it's chaos.
ReplyDeleteIf you're looking for an argument, I'm not likely to give it.
And there's blame to be shared among both parties and with Congress as well as just Bush.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the date of Newt's poll, 'Rat?
ReplyDelete...when the Depression gets deeper, perhaps the desire for "more workers" will evaporate?
Wouldn't 10 percent unemployment have an effect?
I saw something not long ago to that effect, Doug.
ReplyDeleteYes, the credit for the current situation goes beyond Mr Bush.
ReplyDeleteThat he did so poorly with the reform issue, he and McCain, boded ill for the General Election, as proved the case. There was a break down of trustworthiness in the GOP leadership by their own base.
Newt's latest work indicates that almost NO ONE will argue with that position, lineman.
Secure the border, let in the workers, legally.

Many of the Italians and others did not speak English, doug.
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather learned both Spanish and Polish as a Union organizer, in Chicago's steel mills, back in the day.
The workers did not speak English, but their native tongues.
For the Italians he held English classes at his house. Kind of a community organizor, he was.
The Chinese and Koreans, doug?
ReplyDeleteThe Koreans know some English, but the Korean lady that works at Walmart, her English is almost nonexistent.
The Chinese that built the transcontinental railroad, they spoke no English, but their descendents are full citizens, now.
...but people were not denied employment for speaking Enlish back in those cases, nor were 20 Million people welcomed in one large group.
ReplyDelete...Nor are schools required to teach Chinese, Korean, and etc.
All true, doug.
ReplyDeleteBut not the issue at hand.
Those that have tried to conserve that part of the Americam idea, have lost.
The annexation of 110 million Spanish speakers, into the free trade zone of North America ended the English only aspects of America. You're right it was to big a bite to absorb, without modification to the core.
But no matter, the clock will not reset to the era of Cleaver family values.
ReplyDeleteIt is a new America that marches forward.
Grandfather spoke Swedish, learned English. My aunts still spoke a little Swedish, once in a while. I don't know a word of it. There was never any thought of keeping the old language in our group.
ReplyDeleteWe need an English language amendment these days, which the majority of the people support, I have read.
Again, Newt tells US where we're at
ReplyDeleteEnglish should be the official language of government. (87 to 11)
All election ballots and other government documents should be printed in English. (74 to 23)
New immigrants should be required to learn English. (83 to 17)
Government should offer intensive English language instruction to all who need it, including stipends to help immigrants attend the programs. (83 to 15)
Businesses should be able to require employees to speak the English language while on the job. (80 to 17)
It looks to me, if we just did what most people want, we'd be a hell of a lot better off, in most things.
ReplyDeleteNo one in my family speaks Italian, bob.
ReplyDeleteBut, tell me, whose loss is that, in both families, really?
That we have lost that knowledge,
is it something we should celebrate?
Or mourn.
Probably mourn, but I'm not good at that -- learning other languages is hard for me. I used to be able to read the Mexico City newspapers is all the further I got. But a country needs one language to really stick together. For those that are good at it, they should go for it, by all means.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I mentioned the carry a short barreled shotgun on the levee idea to my wife, and, surprise, she wasn't really put off by the idea. I just can't imagine it, though :)
And here, bob, is the core support for the Obama Civilian Corps, with a slight marketing spin.
ReplyDeleteThe Department of Homeland Security and other government agencies should develop programs to teach Americans what they can do as individuals to help in the fight against terror. (82 to 13)
That is an easy, inexpensive solution, bob, to her lack of confidence in her surrondings. Especially in a rural/suburban setting.

ReplyDeleteTwo Top Republican Strategists Offer Their Advice To Get The Party Back On Track
...
A second, equally experienced Republican pollster put his four tough-love suggestions like this:
"First, walk the walk on the ethics stuff. Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Ted Stevens, Vito Fossella -- these guys seem to think they are entitled. We ought to be the ones cleaning house.
"Second, Republicans ought to be the ones really starting to get creative on the energy issue. We ought to be putting our best thinking into coming up with strategies and new ideas on this issue. It isn't going away, and we have to get out in front on it.
"Third, focus on regaining our advantage on technology. We had our heads handed to us on the Internet campaign, e-campaigning, etc. We need to focus on developing new technological methodologies for communicating with voters.
"Fourth, stop being [misguided] on immigration. We are alienating huge parts of the electorate, we are turning our primaries into single issue 'hate' contests and ignoring the single fastest growing bloc of voters in the country."
The first fellow was a tad long winded, to cut and paste. Read it for yourselves, if you're a mind to.
What would happen if roving gunmen infiltrated U.S. cities and started shooting? Most U.S. police departments aren't well prepared to deal with such "active shooters," as they're called. Police are trained to cordon off an area that's under attack and then call in a paramilitary SWAT team to root out the gunmen. But what if the attackers keep moving and shooting? The response can be haphazard, as was clear in such disparate incidents as the 2002 Beltway sniper attacks in the Washington area and last year's massacre at Virginia Tech.
ReplyDelete"Mumbai is a worst-case 'active shooter' problem," says a former CIA officer who helped organize a DHS pilot program on the subject last summer for police chiefs. "It had multiple shooters, multiple locations, mobile threats, willingness to fight the first responders and follow-on SWAT/commando units, well-equipped and well-trained operatives, and a willingness to die. Police department commanders in America should be scratching their heads and praying."
Forewarned is forearmed, and the Mumbai attacks are a powerful demonstration of the danger for cities around the world. The reason to discuss such threats isn't to feed anti-terrorism hysteria. There was far too much of that fear-mongering and spasmodic reaction after Sept. 11, which had the effect of destabilizing the United States almost as much as it did its enemies. The challenge is to understand the adversary so that if an attack comes, the authorities will respond with cool heads and steady aim.

Reporting from Washington -- Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said he accepted President-elect Barack Obama's approach to scheduled troop reductions in Iraq, arguing Tuesday that the hotly debated subject of timelines for withdrawal largely had been settled by a new U.S.-Iraq security agreement.
"That bridge has been crossed," Gates said a day after he formally agreed to remain as Obama's Defense secretary. "And so the question is: How do we do this in a responsible way?"
...
He also said that closing the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, would be a high priority, but could require new legislation, such as a measure preventing former detainees from seeking asylum in the United States.
And Gates said that the next request for emergency war funding, an estimated $83 billion, would be delivered to Congress in a matter of weeks. If approved, it would bring the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to about $947 billion.
Obama assembled an experienced team of strong-willed national security experts, and Gates said that he expected there would be differences of opinion. But he emphasized that Obama would make the big strategic decisions.

ReplyDeleteSheriff Joe Arpaio on New Reality TV Show
ReplyDeleteEFE, Posted: Nov 25, 2008
LOS ANGELES -- A new Fox Reality TV show called "Smile... You're Under Arrest!" will feature Joe Arpaio, sheriff of Arizona's Maricopa County, as he and his team arrest fugitives in sting operations, reports EFE. Lisa Allen, spokesperson for the Maricopa County sheriff's office, said the program "is based on undercover operations to capture people who already have arrest orders against them." The television show will air on Sundays on Fox Reality Channel, beginning on Dec. 27. Arpaio, known for his tough stance on immigration, has conducted operation in cities such as Phoenix, Mesa and Guadalupe that have led to the arrest of dozens of undocumented immigrants.

Hawaii Joins Better Place Electric Car Network
ReplyDeleteARTICLE DATE: 12.03.08
By Steven Volynets, TechnoRide
Hawaii joined California Tuesday as the second state in the nation to link to the Better Place network of plug-in electric vehicles.
The plan was presented by Governor Linda Lingle and Shai Agassi, Founder and CEO of California-based Better Place, as a scaled model for the adoption of battery-powered transport nationwide.
Better Place, a venture-backed company designed to reduce demands on petroleum through infrastructure favoring electric cars, says that Hawaii residents, who pay some of the highest gasoline prices in the U.S., will see the first batch of electric cars, along with a network of charging stations, within 18 months ahead of the 2012 mass-market availability.
"Hawaii, with its ready access to renewable energy resources like solar, wind, wave and geothermal, is the ideal location to serve as a blueprint for the rest of the U.S. in terms of reducing our dependence on foreign oil, growing our renewable energy portfolio and creating an infrastructure that will stabilize our economy," said Agassi.
Last month, the mayors of San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland announced that they too would partner with Better Place for a series of initiatives aimed at making the region the electric vehicle capital of the U.S. by 2012.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio -- A Tri-State woman is in critical condition Wednesday after police say her husband shot her while they were having sex.

His arrest Tuesday for the weekend shooting was for violating a civil protection order that Carolyn had taken out against him earlier this year.

ReplyDeleteDr. Bill says it's all b.s., and I think he's right. Rules pushed all the independent mom and pop stations out of business. A little diesel or gas spill doesn't hurt anything, at least not for long. Farm chemicals are a more serious issue.

I still see tanks on legs around, so I quess they are still ok. Unless they are just empty left overs.
