Bill Richardson Self-Destructs on CNN
National Review ^ | August 11, 2008 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 08/11/2008 2:50:25 PM PDT by Zakeet

Team Obama has GOT to get Bill Richardson away from cameras.

He's on CNN right now. He said that "a President Obama would have a good strong relationship with Russia, and this sort of thing wouldn't happen." (paraphrased; I'll check against the transcript when it's available.)

Richardson just said that McCain is "irrationally make threats" by urging the G8 to expel Russia, and "that's only gonna make matters worse."

Of course. Russia has killed thousands, turned tens of thousands into refugees, they're advancing on the capital, the airport's been bombed, the pipeline is endangered, and the Georgian navy vessels are sinking to the bottom of the Black Sea. But throwing Russia out of the G8 - that will be the true disaster.

He has once again called for going to the United Nations Security Council to get a ceasefire. Russia has a veto on the UNSC. Of course, if Russia wanted a ceasefire, they could just... cease firing. The Georgians are begging for a ceasefire.

What do you mean — he’s proving his slavish devotion to Obambi, who is now more likely to select him either for VP or heaven forbid Secretary of State.

Yet another reason Obambi must not be elected!!!

What a bozo Richardson is — there’s no way on earth that Putin would have been any LESS likely to move with Obambi (or the Clintons, or any Demagogues) in office. Like Putin would be intimidated by those ass-clowns..... or if they point is really that Obambi would have such a great relationship with Putin, yeah right, well it was President Bush who claimed to look fondly into Putin’s soul and still didn’t see the vicious ruthless KGB monster lurking there.

Obambi would be hopeless on issues like these......

What has he done besides being born hispanic?

Amusing question when we are discussing a VP for Obama. Has BHO done something other than being born 'diverse'?

He reminds me of Sergeant Garcia on the Zorro TV series.

Good one!

"Sergeant Demetrio Lopez Garcia is the deputy officer of Los Angeles. He is a soldier with an imposing stature, which he certainly owes to his fondness for wine and good food.

"He is not very smart and rather clumsy. His comandantes often hesitate to entrust responsibilities to him fearing the consequences. However, between the series of comandantes who come and go in the small village, the Sergeant must take over until a new officer is appointed. Actually, one of Garcia's great ambitions (among many others) is to to be permanent comandante."

Of course he would have a good relationship. There are no political differences when there is professional courtesy among Communists.

Re: “Vladimir Putin just got McCain elected. Does anyone want to vote for Obama in a dangerous world?”

That’s pretty much what I was thinking................

You may be right, I just think Richardson a Lumpy type from Leave it to Beaver.
But Hey, ya gotta either pander to blacks or hispanics. One or the other are needed to win I guess and you know blacks are going to vote Dem unless Obamma is screwed by Hillary.
At least we don’t have so many mooselimbs that we have to worry about their loby, yet.

RATS about to lose another Veep wannabe?

I sure hope not. Having lived in New Mexico for many years, the author of 'GRIP' ("Governor Richardson's Improvement Program" - not funded by a penny of Richardson's own money, of course) was my favorite pick for the Obama ticket VP slot.

(The reason for which I will post here, if he's ever actually selected... ;>)

[And on an unrelated topic, the quote in my tagline is from a federal official who was the BLM State Director in New Mexico in the 1990's - which tells you something about the federal government, and also something about New Mexico... ;>]

What is Obama going to do? There is no more room under the bus. If he throws Richardson under, the bus is going to roll over.

So, with no offense intended, you answered your own rather stupid questionL-)

Richardson, with the exception of being born hispanic, has DONE NOTHING!

Which is precisely why he is an Excellent Candidate for VEEP under THE MEESIAH, who has done nothing of accomplishment, other than being born 43% Arab, and Hating America along with his Terrorist and Criminal Friends.

Looks like an Excellent Marriage from this Perspective! :-P
