New Obama Endorsement – Bill Richardson

March 20, 2008 · Posted in Barack Obama, Election 2008 

From the AP

Richardson backed Obama despite his ties to Clinton and her husband, the former president. He served as ambassador to the U.N. and as secretary of the Energy Department during the Clinton administration. Last month, Richardson and former President Clinton watched the Super Bowl together at the governor’s residence in Santa Fe.

Richardson praised Hillary Clinton as a “distinguished leader with vast experience.” But the governor said Obama “will be a historic and great president, who can bring us the change we so desperately need by bringing us together as a nation here at home and with our allies abroad.”

Richardson was a roving diplomatic troubleshooter when he was a congressman from New Mexico, negotiating the release of U.S. hostages in several countries and meeting with a rogue’s gallery of U.S. adversaries, including Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro.

Thank you, Bill Richardson. Edwards, where art thou?

  • How can you "overthrow a government" by winning an election? That's not overthrowing, its winning.
  • One last thought -- If you think our current group of white boys hasn't overthrown the government, think again. I'll take my chances on something different.
  • Dear "ted"

    When you can spell and put together a coherent sentence laced with just a tiny bit of logic, perhaps I'll engage. Until then, you just take your racist self right to the polls and vote for the guy that'll kill more Iraqis. You'll sleep better that way.

    Oh, and I'm white as snow, baby.

    a mexican and a black man wanting to overthrow the government by the voting system and turn this country into AFRCA i can understand. But if your white and after hearing the Wright sermon that Obama was a member for 20 years and you still vote for Obama their is something wrong with you.
