Progress for online casinos in the United States, seems to have once again hit an ugly bump in the road.  Many in the Internet gambling industry still believe that online casinos will approach legalization and regulation during the Obama administration.  However, many people also believe that the man that would usher in that new age for online casinos would be Bill Richardson in the role of Commerce Secretary.

Not that online casinos do not still stand a chance during the Obama presidency, but the Richardson road certainly seems closed off now that he is being investigated for political corruption.  No one can be sure but it is widely believed that Richardson will be exonerated.  Even if that is the case, he has the problem of his character being undermined, just one more problem for the Obama camp to deal with long before they can even look at legislation regarding online casinos.

Problem after problem has arisen for a man who is not yet President.  Internationally is the Israel Hamas problem, back home there is not only the scandal over Obama’s former Senate seat but there is also the issue of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi catering to the Republicans over Obama’s economic stimulus plan has if Democrat never took a majority of the congress in this last election. 

It is hard to hope for any big changes in online casinos when the United States and the rest of the world seem to be crumbling around Obama’s ears before he even takes his seat in the oval office.  At this rate he will be lucky if he is not sitting on a wooden crate in a roofless office.
