Another Bill in the White House…

…the White House Cabinet, that is. Today President-elect Barack Obama named New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson as his choice for secretary of Commerce and I couldn’t be more ecstatic. I was actually rooting for Richardson at the onset of the primaries. With all the squabbling going on between Clinton and Obama, and John Edwards finding himself waist-deep in drama, it was easy to turn to the cool headed governor as a potential leader of our nation. But alas, the governor got lost in the media hype surrounding the three celeb-status candidates and was quickly knocked out of the running.
Obama said the New Mexico governor would be “a key strategist” during his term and praised his diplomatic and hands-on experience. Richardson is a former secretary of Energy, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and a congressman from New Mexico. If his resume still doesn’t leave you convinced he’s qualified for the job, his view of our nation should.
“It will be a great honor to serve a president that recognizes America’s diversity is its greatest strength,” Richardson said.
Now that’s what I’m talking about! He hit the needle on the head. Plus, Obama’s Cabinet is looking a bit more colorful than his predecessors. It’s about time our government became a reflection of its citizens. But what do you think?
Is Obama’s colorful Cabinet receiving more media attention than necessary? Is Bill Richardson the best choice for the job?

You know, I really don’t see anything wrong with a little diversity…I just hope that everything works for ‘the greater good’ and the man is right: America’s diversity IS its diversity. We’ve always been known as the melting pot–it’s time out for this separation stuff, because just as Booker T. once said, “We can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.”
