Richardson tells Clintons to move on

The Clintons can get over his betrayal but I won't. I'm already going to support McCain if Obama is the nominee but if Richardson is anywhere on that ticket I'm going to volunteer for the McCain campaign and give money.

Loyalty to his country my you know what. Richardson = Opportunist.

Richardson does not seem to realize Billary is one person. When Billary give you a job they own you.

Well said Richardson. Clintons need to move on. They habe lost it and in a state of denial like President Bush. I see Clintons very similar to Mr Bush on alot of fronts not just this. Clintons, pls dont spoil the DEMs party, we are going to have this year.

Since when did the Democratic party become the Clinton party ~ the Clintons are a legend in their own mind and are digging themselves a political hole from which they will never emerge and alienating many party leaders in the process.

Obama is the future of the Democratic party and the Clintons are a rapidly fading past !

It is a given that a person can endorse whom ever they desire. Having made that statement, it is clear that Richardson went a little far with this...given the climate it would have looked better for him just to stay neutral. It get the feeling that for President Clinton and Carville to be so upset, that something was said, or done earlier to make them believe he would not do what he did...he has no information or data about Obama that would suggest he would be worth making such a move. Look for this to surface in his carreer in the future.

Dr. CH

Loyalty?

Because Bill gave him a job he's got to support his wife's candidacy? Where's the logic in that?

Shouldn't the only reason Richardson vote for Hillary be because he thinks she's a better candidate? Because he worked for Bill Clinton years ago should have nothing to do with it.

And the fact that people are upset with Richardson because of this is pretty sad.

It is not betrayal to support who will make a better president. Supporting the Clintons just because he was in his administration is just what we are trying to move way from (old style) politics. This is just more spin from the Clintons - they will do anything it takes to win ( even lie) Is this really the kind of president you want?

Rather telling about the Clintons, isn't it, who are so arrogant and entitled that they air such pettiness publicly...it's all quid pro quo, right? You scratch my back, I scratch yours, and that's the only reason you were hired, loyalty real or imagined.

If that's all it takes to get you to support someone who is virtually 100% diametrically opposed to everything both Sens. Obama and Clinton support (and their actual policy positions are quite similar), then I doubt you are very committed those ideas. Who Richardson supports or doesn't support has little to do with the programs we'll need to enact over the next few years to pull this country out of the trough we're in. Saying you've completely flip to McCain (sure you weren't there to begin with) if you have previously supported Democratic positions is like cutting off your news to spite your face.

IF YOU KNOW GOV. RICHARDSON'S TACTICS, YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUE REASON FOR HIS DECISION. HE IS A PERSON THAT BELONGS IN POLITICS FOR THE SAME WAY HE RUNS THE STATE OF NM. HE IS SELFISH AND MONEY AND PROMISES HELP MAKE HIS DECISIONS.

Very interesting tactic, "coolrepublican." But you have another thing coming if you expect any of us to believe that you are genuinely supporting HRC, rather than doing the bidding of your master Rush Limbaugh, who has encouraged republicans like you to sow divisiveness in the democratic party by pretending to support HRC and suggest that Obama is untenable in the general.

You guys are quaking in your boots. Our guy Obama is going to coast to victory in November, and it will be the beginning of a new era of American prosperity.

No one in the Clinton administration like Billary except their dogs. Once in a while Billary throw them a bone and Carville bark

Hillary argues that both pledged and superdelegates are free to vote for whichever candidate they think will be the strongest Democratic nominee, but when they support someone other than her, she, her husband, and her supporters lash out at them.

So I guess she's basically saying "you're free to support whoever you want, but only if it's me".

Richardson gained much from Clinton's trust and loyalty to him in the past. Richardson owed the Clintons some kindness. It is like betraying your brother in a competition. Richardson's endorsement means little in the grand scheme of the national race but it was an unkind thing to do. You can safely assume Richardson received a promise of favorable consideration in an Obama Administration. More important is the childness of the endorsement. So frequently immature underlyings resent the person holding power over them. This is more the case here. Clinton was Richardson's boss and he kissed A-- but he hated it all the time. A real man would have said " I wish you well Mr. Obama but I have to stay neutral as a gentleman".

Maybe Billary should have ponied up some of the $47 million in speaking fees ole Bill earned since leaving office. Richardson could have kept in the Caymans like ole Bill.

As a minority I'd love to see Obama/Richardson. You hear that??? White Republicans screaming the sky is falling b/c the minorities are banding together!!!

Only in a country lead by Clinton or Bush is a man not free to support who he wants. Clinton- Bush what's the difference.

Does anyone besides me and a friend think that Bill Clinton is unconsciously trying to subvert Hillary's election. Talking about Richardson this late after the announcement seems to magnify the importance of that endorsement.

Hey menopause man...you should have handled things better. You certainly are no gentleman. I accepted your endorsement, but the moment you said your conversation was heated with Senator Clinton everything changed. A true gentleman would never disclose private conversation. (I hope Senator Obama realizes that!) Besides, you are "old Washington". You are what Senator Obama seems to be distancing himself from until he needs an endorsement. The "formula 44" and the beard makes everyone laugh. Loose the gut bil dough boy!

Just more rewriting history by the Clintons........... *Error*.... *Thoughtcrime*.... *Badwords*... Must Thinkgood... do not criticize... Comrade Clinton... Big Sister Hillary knows all...

I'd rather believe that Mr. Richardson's appointment as a member of President Clinton's cabinet was because of his qualifications and not due to the Universal Practice of "Quid Pro Quo". If the former is true, then, Mr. Richardson owes Mrs. Clinton nothing. If the latter applies, then, it can be construed as a strategy in part of the Clintons that went terribly wry, ie., backfired. Ergo, let us then, not forget that Governor Bill Richardson is a pragmatist at heart and that as such, he will contrive plans which for him could result in the gratest bang for the buck. I hope Mr. Richardson is not thinking about tokenism, for then there would not be any difference between the two Bills. Now, I give President Clinton an "A" for trying to surround himself with the most honest politicians money can buy!

Richardson is a traitor. Who does he think he is to ask a Presidential candidate to do anything. I don't recall Hillary asking him to move on and he didn't get one delegate. Get a life Richardson because Obama won't be there to give you one.

On April 1, 2008 the New York Times printed an article on "Straight Shooting From Tuzla, by Lissa Muscatine, former chief speechwriter and Melanne Verveer, former chief of staff for Hillary Clinton when she was first lady. They accompanied Hillary on this trip to Tuzla in March 1996. Ms. Muscatine is now apparently an adviser to Hillary's presidential campaign. Please go to this article at:

www.nytimes.com/2008/04/o1/opinion/01muscatine.html?

In short, this article sheds light on Hillary's account of this Boznia event as appropriate recollection regarding preparation provided to her before the landing documented by the video footage. This video is but one dimension of the whole story replayed over and over again by the press/MSM. The truth is Hillary embellished the actual landing scene because, as it turns out, to paraphrase the article, at the particular time of their arrival at that moment in time, it was safer than anticipated. Prior to the landing of the C-17 cargo plane because they were flying into a danger zone, in fact a hostile environment. Before landing they were issued flak jackets and were given information that the tarmac ceremony might be canceled because of sniper fire from surrounding hillsides. Hillary and Chelsea got moved to the armored cockpit prior to the landing. Other security included strategic placement of armored vehicles around the tarmac. Also, Apache helicopters were hovering overhead. Please refer to the post identified above for the whole story and further information on Hillary's entire trip to Bosnia a hostile environment on a peacekeeping mission by the first lady. Once again, the MSM has falsely and maliciously accused Hillary of lying. In truth, if she is guilty of anything she is only guilty of misstating the details this event which occurred over 12 years ago. How is your memory for 12 years ago? I surmise they wouldn't be as close to accurate on this account either as Hillary's recollections was. My question is, why isn't the MSM telling the whole story on this event instead of playing what looks to be an incriminating story about our first lady? I think we all know the answer to that question. Go Hillary, the only candidate who can run against an opponent, the MSM, the RNC and now it looks like the DNC and still come out with over 50% of the American public vote in states that are not able to lower her base of support (the caucus). You decide for yourself the rest of America. I, for one, trust Hillary’s judgment and I know we can count on her to restore our standing at home and abroad!!! Thank you.

What job are you hoping for "Rush" Carville? The rhetoric you've been spouting lately shows clearly that you are not loyal to the Democratic Party. We need more Bill Richardsons and less "Rush" Carvilles.

To all the Democrats who say they will vote Republican, if their preferred candidate is not nominated, I ask this: Are the PRINCIPALS in which you live by, vote by, and teach your children sold SO cheaply? Can your convictions as to the direction this country should go, moving forward, be purchased for so little?

If you answered yes to either question; go. You are not the type to move this country forward anyway. You are products of identity politics, with little, if any principals to begin with.

If half the dems do not want Obama and the other half do not want Clinton, then it is appropriate for the delegates--all of them--to do what they are duty-bound to do, which is to settle on a different candidate that is acceptable to a majority--hopefully a large majority. This must be done at the convention, not behind closed doors by a select few superdelegates.

What the Clintons were expecting from Richardson is similar to what the whites used to expect from slaves in the last millenium. When does a person not get to make up their own mind about whom to support? If anyone has ever worked in the white house while Clinton was there, then they automatically become slave for life for his wife. What a concept. Only the Clinton's and their bottom licking Carville could come up with that concept

Richardson has earned my respect in his handling of this matter. The Clinton continue to lose my respect for the way they are handling their campaign.

No wonder both the Clintons have lost previous jobs for lying to their piers and to the government.

I hope Richardson is Secretary of Energy or Secretary of State. He has experience with hostile situations, especially lately. He's a good guy.
The real JUDAS is any democratic candidate who endorses McCain over other democratic candidates.

The Clintons are the worst type of racists.

Or in other words:

"Yes you did" "Did not" "Did too" "Did not" "Did too" "Did not" "Did too" "Did not"

"Liar, liar pants on fire!"

"I'm telling"

Richardson's endorsement is pretty nule. If he really wanted to make a difference, he should havd endorse him before New Mexico's primary. I'm Hispanic, and I just lost all respect for the man. The Clinton's should get over it. After all, Latinos like Mr President Bill better than the wrong Bill. I hope Hillary makes it. If she doesn't, This will be the first election I will ever vote Republican.

Well Gov. Richarson I heard you invited yourself over to watch the super bowl with Pres.Bill Clinton and Bill does not like you anymore because and he publicly stated you Richarson told Bill Clinton 3 times that you were supporting Hillary and then you backstabbed the Clintons for the winning guy Obama, now Hillary and Bill can laugh in your selfish ,backstabbing face because you lobbied for the Secretary of State job; but Hillary Clinton was chosen for the highest position in the cabinet. You thought you'd get V.P. and you didn't. I say "Bill, GET OVER IT" GO CLINTONS!
