So while the rest of you were watching the long winded Barack Obama prime time press conference on the usual suspects, C-Span, MSNBC, CNN, or whatever local channel decided to interrupt its programing, we thought it might be way more fun to watch him in Spanish.

AND this is what you missed by not doing likewise:

On Univision (which interrupted Cuidado con el Angel to bring you this) Obama sounded like an agitated old man with a slight Cuban accent:

Later, as the presser went on and on, the the guy became less agitated as he was reassured that the deficit is really not all that bad, however they turned a Black male reporter into an Argentinian lady:

Meanwhile on Telemundo: A younger version of the generic South American guy, trying to sound like he has no accent, but is probably Colombian.

This is not a breaking news blog, so I´m sure you already heard…

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s likely third pick for Commerce secretary is former Washington Gov. Gary Locke, a senior administration official said Monday.

Locke, a Democrat, was the nation’s first Chinese-American governor when he served two terms in the Washington statehouse from 1997 to 2005.

Obama’s expected choice of Locke arose less than two weeks after his most recent pick, Republican Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, backed out. Just over a week after Obama named him and he accepted, Gregg cited “irresolvable conflicts” with the policies of the Democratic president.

Meanwhile, Bill Richardson López didn´t even go to the White House for the gov´s meeting and gala and apparently Obama is not the only one dissing him.

Holy Guacamole!

Val Kilmer ponders run for New Mexico governor in 2010

SANTA FE, N.M. — Fresh from the inauguration — a commemorative coin still in his pocket — actor Val Kilmer is pondering the pull of public service.

Some “serious people” want him to consider running for governor, he said in an interview with The Associated Press.

“I’m just looking for ways to be contributive,” Kilmer said, dunking his tea bag in a big mug of hot water at a local restaurant. “And if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I’ll run.”

But there’s no decision yet.

“It’s really day to day,” he added.

So what should Richardson López to do once he’s out?

Move over Blagojevich, we got our own scandal, minus the tombstone, thanks to the almost secretary of state, commerce,  and one of our favorite Hispanics, Bill Richardson López. Turns out he shaved his beard for nothing.

“I have asked the President-elect not to move forward with my nomination at this time. I do so with great sorrow” (nooooooooo!, this is great sorrow for us too, we have a whole category dedicated to Richardson López)

AND like 2 seconds later:

STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK OBAMA

It is with deep regret that I accept Governor Bill Richardson’s decision to withdraw his name for nomination as the next Secretary of Commerce.

Of course we had totally already suggested he wouldn´t be confirmed, but in case you want to know more than I am willing to post on a Sunday,  here is Richardson´s Statement
