Earlier today, Governor Bill Richardson informed President-elect Barack Obama that he is withdrawing from consideration as Secretary of Commerce. Richardson's withdrawal comes on the heels of a grand jury investigation into a company that did business with the state of New Mexico. Gov. Bill Richardson has dropped his plans to be commerce secretary for President-elect Barack Obama, his office confirmed this afternoon. Richardson's office released a statement this afternoon saying the governor waSeeing “Waltz with Bashir” as Israel invades Gaza by ground
“This is not good” is the content of a text I received just before stepping into Waltz with Bashir, as the IDF sent ground troops into Gaza. Waltz is the award-winning and Israel’s Oscar foreign film entry Oscar-nominated animated documentary (release dates below) about the filmmaker’s search for his wartime memories of the Saaba and Shatila massacres of the 1982 Lebanon invasion, and the implications were heavy on my mind as I stepped inside.

The news that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was withdrawing his name from consideration as Obama administration Commerce Secretary represents a painful political toe-stubbing by President Elect and his team, which had earned a reputation for almost superhuman precision during the primary and election campaigns. Imagery matters in politics, and no matter who is blamed for the big “NEVER MIND!” from the New Mexico Governor — a centrist Democrat who seems perpetually cursed with being the guy wObama’s Explainations Beg Incredulity
Just as Obama as done with every hint of impropriety and scandal, he - through his people of course - act as if he were the victim. Tapper at ABC: “Sources tell ABC News that officials on the Obama Transition Team feel that before he was formally offered the job of commerce secretary, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was not forthcoming with them about the federal investigation that is looking into whether the governor steered a state contract towards a major financial contributor.

Well, we've already got a lead on which of three possible explanations applies to this Richardson situation. Here's Jake Tapper: Sources tell ABC News that officials on the Obama Transition Team feel that before he was formally offered the job of commerce secretary, New Mexico Gov.

And the Richardson people reWhy Did Obama's Transition Team Ignore Bill Richardson's Long History of Dubious Dealings?
The wreck of Bill Richardson, who withdrew earlier today as President-elect Obama’s nominee for Commerce Secretary, surely should have been anticipated by the Obama vetters. As previously reported by Mother Jones, the New Mexico governor has, over the last decade, left behind a wide trail of questionable business dealings, many of them involving the energy industry. Obama's transition team apparently chose to ignore these past whiffs of scandal. They also seem to have been unfazed by the currLundi 5 Janvier

Richardson, 61, who competed unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination, was secretary of energy and U.N. ambassador during Bill Clinton’s presidency, and aRichardson Steps Down Sooner Rather than Later
It’s not Gov. Bill Richardson (D-N.M.) we are concerned about. It’s the possible taint on the incoming president that worries us. Already, according to a recent Gallup poll, one-quarter of the public believes someone on the Obama staff did something funny with Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The exact question asked was: On a different topic, as you may know. Illinois Gov.
