OBAMA-BUST: Bill Richardson will withdraw as Commerce secretary... Developing...

[NRA2BFree]

Wow, this is great news!! Hopefully it means that the investigation by the FBI will lead to him being indicted, and he knows it. If he resigns, the country is spared and if he goes to prison, NM will be spared any more of his BS. I hope so anyway.

[NRA2BFree]

Like that Capital One commercial goes...Hey! What's in your wallet?????

OPM! Other people's money. LOL

[STARWISE]

He was too fat next to the dear leader anyway ..

[ContraryMary]

Interesting...

New Mexican ping

You up to date on this?

Maybe “chickens actually do come home to roost”...all I can say is it's about time. This weasel has skated by without anyone looking in to his dealings for way too long. He's been like a burr to me from way back in the Clinton era, and he was heading some nuclear facility in N.M. and the Chinese came to visit and were given access to stuff they had no business having....it's been a long time ago, and I've probably got the facts messed up, but I remember thinking “why the heck isn’t this guys feet being held to the fire”....nothing was ever done...of course it WAS on the Clinton watch.

Crap. That means we in NM will be stuck with him another two years.

I was [am} going to post some more info about his dealings here in NM where even Democrats are complaining about how he rewarded his cronies with high paying state jobs, creating them out of thin air and without legislative approval. Stay tuned.

[freekitty]

Oh really. The only guy in his administration willing to admit Obama is an immigrant. Under that bus. Wonder is Clinton had anything to do with this?

Bill Richardson will withdraw as Commerce secretary...

Congratulations! You got your governor back.

[pepperhead]

0bama has thrown so many people under the bus he got a monster short bus. So there is plenty of room under 0bama's bus even when people as big as Richardson get thrown under it.

[BOATSNM8]

Great, now we get a less experienced candidate.

[STARWISE]

Hey, there may be a trend starting. Your state congress could start investigations and impeachment. Why should IL be alone .. especially when they’re all so dang corrupt... ;)

[Eighth Square]

Democrats- the party of corruption and criminals - the ultimate ‘low class’.

[Munz]

nope not surprising at all.
he is falling on his sword for the commander in chief ...

Probably see a lot of this over the next 4 years

[EDINVA]

I really hate losing, but there’s a lot to be said for sitting back and watching, being able to criticize those budened with the big decisions. Dems have been doing it for the past 8 years, it’s our turn now.

Obama to Richardsons: "The first rule of political graft is DON'T GET CAUGHT!"

Clintons to Obama: We have a fool-proof method of removing Commerce Secretaries.

[freekitty]

If there are people in high places doing this across the country; what better time is it than to go after Pelosi, Reid and 99.9% of our elected officials?

Great idea. May the dominos start falling.

[ShandaLear]

We should all thank Nancy for doing such a great job raining the swamp!

[CedarDave]

We in NM thought we would be through with him. Last week there was a good opinion piece in the ABQ Journal about his dealings with the state personnel system. On Friday, they published a half page of letters to the editor, mainly from Democrats including the former director of State personnel, who exposed further his rewarding cronies with unauthorized high-paying state positions.
