Barry Desperation: Lots of Locke

Barry is really getting desperate to fill his Cabinet. Not too lucky. Barry's desperation is so bad, he is now looking at former worthless dem governors. Review the following qualifications on his latest pick from the bottom of the former Dem Gov barrel for Commerce Secretary:

"Locke was briefly linked to the scandal over foreign contributions to President Bill Clinton's 1996 campaign. In July 1998, he gave a deposition to the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight about his relationships with questioned Clinton donors. But the committee subsequently said the deposition produced no evidence that Locke knowingly accepted illegal campaign donations.

Locke denied any wrongdoing, and he subsequently returned some checks tied to people implicated in the fundraising scandal, including $750 from John Huang. The former Commerce Department official was the Democratic Party's chief fund raiser for the Asian-American population in the 1996 elections, and he became one of the central figures in the national Democratic Party fundraising scandal.

Also, in December 1997, Locke's political committee was fined a maximum $2,500 by state regulators after it admitted breaking campaign finance laws during two out-of-state fundraisers in 1996.

And in March 1998, state investigators cleared Locke of wrongdoing following complaints that he unlawfully took $10,000 in campaign contributions from members of a Buddhist church." (Courtesy of MSNBC).

I could see Locke in charge of raising more illegal campaign funds for DNC. But at least if he gets locky, he should be able to do the same thing as the Commerce Secretary. Why am I thinking about Dirty Harry? Well punk, are you feeling locky? And our gov Kate can't get any posts at all so the dirt on her must really be bad.

As far as tonight's speech goes, the timing makes sense. Every time the stock market moves up, Barry gives a speech. His goal is to make your 401(k) plan a .50 cent (k) plan in his redistributon of your wealth scheme-the Abomination. Lots of Locke tomorrow on the stock market. Consider buying a PowerBall ticket.
