    skylight63! Wow did U ever call his one 2 weeks ago! I just read todays news & it’s all happening, and Richardson just stepped down too! I’m no fan of most politicians but Richardson was a nobody til the Clintons gave him a chance, a job, a title & lots of support. But he bought obamas snake-oil conning & thought he could get 2B VP if he got his compadres to support obama. So he backstabbed Hillary. He could not even face the interviewer when he said he endorsed BHO over HRC “for the country”.

    Well the Obama Presidency is off to quite and inauspicious start, 2 senate seats from the Mid-West have become a soap opera, the Governor of his home state was indicted for pulling an Al Bundy like scheme, and now Bill has declined this offer because he is facing a grand jury investigation, oh and the Middle East looks like it’s about to explode, none of it can be any good. Obama stop giving jobs to members of the Democratic party Kabal and please pick Kathleen Sellibus for this post

    No, he was speaking in Spanish to recount his following among Hispanics, not to be a Mexican Jesse Jackson-like race baiter.

    If the Republicans did it, you’d call it a token gesture.

  15. “Diversity”??? …
    “Diversity”??? BULLSHIT! There’s no diversity, it’s a bunch of different groups agreeing about socialism. Don’t invoke God’s name on this Godless mess. Obama supports infanticide, his pastor is a bigot. He is no blessing.

    Another democrat caught in graft. Amazing how the empty suit waded through the Chicago democrat machines cess pool smelling like a rose.

  24. You predicted this …
    You predicted this and hit the nail on the head skylight. Its quite funny to see Obama chose a theif as commerce secretary and now hes under indictment and stepped down. Im reasonably sure Obama is mixed up in the Blagojevich scandal as well, but that will never be disclosed. Weve also got the citizenship issue on the table as well. Yep..weve got change alright–more scandal than any president elect before him. Going to be an interesting term.

  25. Thank God Bill …
    Thank God Bill Richardson is OUT! What a ZERO!
