Obama Taps Richardson for Commerce
Gov. Bill Richardson
As expected, President-elect Barack Obama nominated New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson to be Secretary of Commerce.
CHICAGO (AP) – President-elect Barack Obama named New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson as commerce secretary on Wednesday, placing a second former campaign rival in his new Cabinet.
