Richardson a Leading Candidate at Commerce

I'm sure Bill Clinton is enjoying the fact that Hillary was offered the cabinet spot that Bill Richardson likely wanted.

I can just hear Bill Richardson saying "I betrayed the Clintons for Barack and all I get is Commerce?"

Suck it up Bill Richardson -- you bumbling fool.

Judas at Commerce, wonderful!

As if we didn't see that coming after Richardson conveniently threw Clinton under Obama's bus. Way to play your hand Bill.

The only good thing about Richardson getting a cabinet job is that he will be gone from New Mexico! Please take him away.. We don't need a political brown-noser, Native American hating, hispanic wanna-be as a Governor anymore. Maybe he will build some horse racing casino's at the US capital and call it commerce...Or lay to waste the tribal lands with radioactive mining to complete the genocide of the Navajo nation.

John, you sound like a bitter and typical Clinton supporters who blames Richardson for her own failure to win the democratic nomination.

I doubt that Richardson endorsement made any difference to the voters whether it was Clinton or Obama endorsement. Really... Let's give Obama some credit.

What is ironic is your criticism of Richardson is exactly the same criticism the people of WNY have of their Senator Clinton, a carpetbagger who moved to NY to help her career, who promised the people of Upstate NY 200,000 new jobs but failed to deliver. Ask anyone in WNY if Senator Clinton been effective in job creation.

The real difference among Senator Clinton is Bill Richardson has delivered high-tech job creation for the people of New Mexico. Ask the New York transplants in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.

Matter of fact, the former Senior Republican Senator Pete Domenici stated that Bill Richardson has done more for New Mexico than any other Governor in recent history. The voters of New Mexico will not give non-performer a second term, especially if a democrat.

With the Obama endorsement, Richardson proved that he is his own man and not a Bill Clinton minion. Also note as head of the DOE, he streamlined and improved operations, negotiate low oil cost with OPEC and took on the embedded cultural problems of LANL.

Richardson's international achievements as a Congressman makes most Senators look lame, speaks three languages and can negotiate.

Lastly, Richardson now has been vetted by two administrations and has a security clearance which speaks volumes.

Beware America! This carpet bagger will do ANYTHING to advance his political career. He moved to New Mexico because he thought he stood a better chance of being elected to Congress. He stabbed Clinton in my back after determining that Obama would win the Democratic nomination. He goes after anyone that disagrees with him or stands in his way. He ensures that friends and political contributors get state contracts. While all of his tactics have paid off, I have no idea how he sleeps at night. I hope he stays in Washington for good this time. The people of New Mexico deserve better.

Bill Richardson didn't stab Hillary in the back - he took the knife and went for her jugular.

Richardson didn't stab Clinton in the back. He didn't owe Hillary an endorsement. Hillary doesn't own Richardson.

She owns Obama. lolol

Obama is very smart and he knows how Richardson stabed Clinton in the back.And he will never trust him , becous Richardson could stab him in the back just as fast., and the American people.

Deep Release: Geithner's name has been floated for Sec. of Treasury.

He is the president of NY Federal Reserve Board.

Either Richardson, Clinton or Kerry would have been fine choices for Secretary of State. I actually prefer Clinton and Kerry to stay in the Senate and Richardson as Secretary of State where he has qualifications. The Senate should by-pass their sexism rules and provide HRC with a chairmanship leading Health Care, something where she is qualified.

Richardson is not qualified for Commerce Secretary and would be a horrible choice. If you are not going to place him at State, he should be Labor Secretary.

Times are too important to place Richardson as Commerce Secretary.

Richardson is obviously the best choice for secretary of state. Hillary knows nothing and she is a fake. Why would she even consider working with Obama after saying he was naive, inexperienced and everything else she said?
Richardson is going to be great wherever you put him.
2 term governor, nominated to the Nobel Peace Prize, UN ambassador, sec of energy, congressman, obviously the best candidate for everything.

You know fat cat, Obama is not the president. George Bush is the president. One president at a time is all we get even if, as you say, he is a "duck". So until January 20, who is in the position of leader? I think you know who.

I agree, Richardson is not qualified to be Sec of Commerce. He majored in French and Political Science at Tufts Univ. and is a political crony.

Bill Richardson is a joke. First and foremost, he is completely unqualified for the position of Sec. of Commerce--which is frightening given the state of our economy. Secondly, his track record in general is pathetic. Just look at his lack of accomplishments as Sec. of Energy. Morevoer, as Gov. of NM, the state has regressed and is worse off in virtually every key economic, social and educational area after being under Richardson's administration. Lastly, let's not forget all skeletons he has in his closet with his many "extra-curricular" sexual exploits. It appears that Obama's administration is selecting him primarily because of his part-Latino background, yet, the Latino community by and large was not supportive of Richardson as a leader of this country--not surprising given Richardson is a good o'le boy who only pulls his "I'm Latino" card when he's trying to advance his political career. What in the world is Obama administration thinking?

Guess you know who your real friends were right Bill until you turned on them and whined and complained about Bill C, the man who gave you an important job in his administration.

expect Mayor of Miami for HUD...

Mr. dl,

Where have you been? Our Greatest Leader's transition team announce a few days ago that they are creating a Department of the Urban Homeless.

HUD has not worked well for our Greatest Leader's Southside neighborhood. It's DUH time.

With our economy in such bad shape, I would have thought Obama would have selected someone with real business and/or economic expertise. Richardson has no qualifications in commerce. He isn't even a very bright person. What did he ever do when he was energy secretary? Nothing. He couldn't even handle Monica Lewinsky. This is a disapointment.

Our Greatest Leader is making a plea for a game in 2016, while he is "voting" present for the current economic meltdown.

If you had failed to understand what his voting record of present meant in Illinois, this is what it means to America now.

"I think ... sort of the bottom feels like it is falling out for many people," said Gergen, who has advised four presidents. "They sense there's a total lack of leadership in Washington, that the White House is silent, the treasury secretary has been battered, the Federal Reserve can't speak up. These automakers come up to Capitol Hill and fail. And the president-elect is silent in Chicago."

Asked if Obama was offering guidance on the issue, Durbin replied, "No, no."

Yet, our Greatest Leader was busy spreading rumors and feeling waters for his old family friend Pritzker for the Secretary of DoC, only failed and tanked the stock market by 900 and more than 11% in two days. And now Richardson? A payback time?

What a "change" and Greatest Leader we are witnessing.

Don't say it's all the stupid George Bush's fault. He is a duck, and there is a need for new direction.

Where is the leadership of our Greatest Leaders, other than "present"?

I think Bill Richardson will be in right place. and that good choice.
