Bill Richardson Withdraws as Commerce Secretary/Introducing the Obama Corruption Game

Posted by Joe Bonica on January 4, 2009

Well, it seems that before he is even inaugurated, the Obama administration has suffered another blow. Bill Richardson is withdrawing his name from the running for commerce secretary. The reason? He is being investigated by a federal grand jury for awarding a state contract worth in the vicinity of $1 billion to a California company which donated to his campaign Details here. 

Seriously dudes, this is the last thing America needs right now. We’re trusting this man with leading our country out of some difficult times, and every week a new charge of corruption comes to someone close to him. I almost want to start a game out of this. We guess which member of Obama’s cabinet will be indicted next with some sort of heinous corruption charge, and see who comes up with it. I wish I didnt have to suggest this, but the news is the news…
