Another tainted Obama cabinet member Gary Locke on his way to confirmation

I guess third time is the charm for Hussein Obama and the Commerce Secretary post. First it was El Pollo Richardson, aka pay to play Bill Ricardson who had to step down because of the pay to play scandal. Then it was Judd Gregg, a New Hampshire Republican Senator who withdrew because he released what a crook Obama is, and how Obama and crew are trying to manipulate the 2010 census. Next up is Gary Locke who had no problems it seemed during his confirmation hearings. This despite the fact the former Washington State Governor was forced to refund several political donations that he received in the 1990s from key figures in a Chinese influence-buying investigation. From the Washington Times:

Commerce Secretary nominee Gary Locke, whose job would include approving sensitive exports to China, has performed legal work for companies doing business with Beijing and was forced to refund several political donations that he received in the 1990s from key figures in a Chinese influence-buying investigation.

The former Washington state governor is expected to face questions about both issues during his confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Senate aides and an Obama administration official familiar with the vetting told The Washington Times.

Mr. Locke was the first Chinese-American to become governor when Washington state voters elected him in 1996, and he served two terms. Since leaving the governor’s mansion in 2005, Mr. Locke has been working with the Seattle law firm of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP as part of its China practice, which has offices in Shanghai.

Maybe I’ll be called ‘racist’ for my disapproval of Locke because he’s Chinese.
