Meet the new Commerce Secretary..Penny Pritzker. She was in line for this spot in 2008 but involved in legal messes at the time. Pretty interesting history of this woman.
And her qualifications ?
She has money, lots of money and is part of the "Chicago Royalty".
She also has good insight into the corrupt banking practices and how they were run since she was involved in her own subprime mess herself and drove her bank into bankruptcy. But $460 million paid to the government got her forgiveness.
She also has good insight to "offshore banking practices" with multiple ongoing disputes with the IRS over her offshore tax havens.
She will be a great asset for labor since the AFL-CIO have registered many worker violation complaints against the Hyatt hotel chain.
Presidential appointees are bobbing heads. We see how useful the one appointed by Bush was during the "Katrina" crisis, he had no clue what emergency management was...yet he was chief of FEMA. Crazy.
Government run by incompetency. No surprises here. I wonder how much she ponied up to buy that spot...

Probably a lot over the years. The article said she backed him from the onset of his political career.
So Romney, proven to be a crook and a liar is extolled by conservatives (even defended)...but this business success is a crook and a liar just because she works with Democrats. Wow, the single minded determination of conservatives to hate anything and anyone that doesn't fall in line like a good authoritarian lapdog and bow down to them is way past the boarder of pathological.

LOL...you call her a business success ? She's a Trust Fund baby who inherited her wealth.
She represents everything you are against yet because she's a billionaire Dem backer you ignore the facts.
News flash..Romney isn't the President and Romney didn't appoint her.
She would have been appointed in 2008 if she wasn't hip deep in legal problems.
She is that 1% you can't stand and she's up near the top in YOUR party.
It appears that the Unions (including Teachers) will not be happy, since the article maintains she is pretty 'anti union'.
Money talks.
This is her "qualification" for that spot (from the link):
"A major donor to Obama, Pritzker has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats and their state parties across the U.S."
