Is he trying to appeal to voters who don't know we already have a Department of Commerce, or to voters who have never seen a thesaurus? Either way, I recommend the new department of commerce be called the Department of Bidness.“We should have one Secretary of Business, instead of nine different departments that are dealing with things like giving loans to SBA or helping companies with exports,” Mr. Obama said in an interview that aired Monday on MSNBC. “There should be a one-stop shop.”

A Vocabulary Lesson from Bush III
Obama proposes a "Secretary of Business".
"The biggest problems that we’re facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all."

I propose an Undersecretary of Business for Bitch-Hos, with a direct hotline to the oval office
Don’t believe everything you think.

I think he might be saying get them consolidated. SBA isn't in Commerce. And Commerce has "leftovers" that don't really fit "business" today (NOAA, Census, NTIA, NTIS, etc...)

Well shit! We are talking about a man who maybe should have been destined to be a real life Deam Warner and not the POTUS.

That wouldn't require a second department of commerce.BucketHead wrote:I think he might be saying get them consolidated. SBA isn't in Commerce. And Commerce has "leftovers" that don't really fit "business" today (NOAA, Census, NTIA, NTIS, etc...)
What he's really trying to do is position himself as pro small business, which is an old trick abused by both sides of the aisle in DC. It's a know-nothing populist way to pretend that you care about the economy and job creation without looking like you're in bed with fat cats. It's a dishonest and stupid position every time it's taken. The correct place for the SBA is the scrap heap.
