Do we have an readers who can explain this to me? It looks like the President just gave all of his power to the Secretary of Commerce.
Who has ever HEARD of the Commerce Secretary?

Secretary Gary F. Locke

When you remember he is the ONLY Chinese American to ever serve as a governor of a large state... Washington... and now a member of the president's cabinet.
If the following Presidential Directive means what it says... and isn't some convoluted government speak that has NOTHING to do with the words on the page... then Gary Locke is the perfect person to be the head of America.
He's Chinese and China owns us!
I sincerely hope someone can explain this away as government speak!!
