First of all.  What are members of President Obama's Cabinet doing driving cars in the first place?  Especially in the San Gabriel Valley, for cry in out loud. You can't be serious.   U.S. Secretary of Commerce John Bryson is under investigation for two alleged hit-and-run accidents in the San Gabriel Valley on Saturday. Second of all, what the HELL is he doing driving a LEXUS?  What about driving an AMERICAN CAR, Mr. Secretary.
