OK, I understand that it was completely unexpected* that Gov Bill Richardson (D-NM) (and author of the book Leading by Example
You’d think that they would have had a backup for Commerce, given that we’re in the middle of one thoroughly messed-up economy. What if Richardson had been hit by a bus, or something?

Small is beautiful.
All agreed except for one thing
Dan McLaughlin (Diary) Friday, January 23rd at 9:30AM EST (link)The Commerce Secretary has no particular role in US trade policy, which runs through the US Trade Rep. Commerce mostly handles the fisheries, the weather bureau and the census. It’s not at all what people think it is.

Obama does not believe in Commerce

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
