I don't understand how this appointment makes sense at all. Why put in a Republican? Why have a fiscal conservative as Commerce Secretary? What does Commerce Secretary even do, while we're on the topic. I don't understand the fetish for bipartisanship, either. Sure, it would be nice if there were support from both parties. But I have to assume at this point that the Republicans aren't operating in good faith, seeing as how their leader, Limbauh, has said openly that he hopes Obama fails. And even if they were, if we disagree with them so strenuously, what's there to work together on? Put together good policies, and if some Republicans vote for them, good for them. If not, who cares? We got a mandate. Yeah, I gotta be honest. I don’t understand how this appointment makes sense at all. Why put in a Republican? Why have a fiscal conservative as Commerce Secretary?
