Obama nominates Richardson

Today President-Elect Obama nominated Bill Richardson to be his commerce secretary. Many expected him to receive the nod for Secretary of State, when it went to Hillary Clinton it seemed he had fallen out of the good graces of the President. However Barack remembered his endorsement early on in the campaign and has brought in yet another primary opponent to his cabinet.

Bill Richardson was Secretary of Energy under President Clinton and later United States Ambassador to the United Nations.
