Fascinating

Obama announced New Mexico Governor and former Presidential contender Bill Richardson as his Secretary of Commerce. This is Richardson's account of an interesting incident during one of the Democratic Primary Debates last year, recounted in an Esquire Magaine interview:

"As I’m chatting with Obama, the moderator says, “Governor Richardson, what do you think of that?” And I look at him like a deer in the headlights. I was about to say that I hadn’t heard, when Obama puts his hand over his mouth and says, “Katrina.” So I gave my four-point plan on Katrina. When I was done and the debate moved on, I looked over and said, “Thanks, you’re okay.” He said, “Nothing to it, brother.”
