Comments on: Richardson endorsement: just for Hispanics? http://blogs.reuters.com/frontrow/2008/03/21/richardson-endorsement-just-for-hispanics/ Tracking U.S. politics Sun, 29 Nov 2009 04:13:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: cutie http://blogs.reuters.com/frontrow/2008/03/21/richardson-endorsement-just-for-hispanics/#comment-341827 cutie Tue, 01 Apr 2008 10:22:48 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/trail08/2008/03/21/richardson-endorsement-just-for-hispanics/#comment-341827 Good morning Americans, it astonishes me to read the comments here. You should all open your eyes and see that Obama is the right candidate to lead your country. He is the only candidate so far that the rest of the World (namely, Austria, Germany, Russia, and other parts of Europe, Asia, Canada not forgetting Africa) feel is best suited to become your president. Instead of accusing him of things you think he has done in the name of press publicity, listen to his views and make a comparison with the views of Clinton and McCain (who is a joke). It will be a shame if democrats in your country decide vote for McCain. If I was an American, I could have voted for Obama. We in Africa have seen what the Bush Administration has done to the whole world. I was even more pissed off that he decided to visit Africa for a vacation not his administrative work in his last months in office. You should all see how he was able to belittle your country and the rest of the world. Open your eyes and vote for the best candidate for your country.

There's totally nothing wrong with that. And for your information every historical milestone from independence to the civil rights movement have been driven by hope. it will be wiser if u critisize Obama by his policies than the shallow shot at his message of hope. how can you discredit hope in the situations that americans face every day. hey Mary,

He's been promised a place in Obama's administration, otherwise he wouldn't have traded camps. Also, it was done at a time when he needed cover for his woe's over Rev. [W]right?To the youth of America: Please learn about the issues before you decide who to vote for in this election. Don't be swayed by spin that there is very little difference between Hillary and Barack. Hillary's Solutions for America are far and away above his empty promises of hope. Hillary is right for America. Our country faces serious issues and the next President will be challenged above all others before them to restore our standing at home and abroad. Please just do your homework before you vote and then, I believe, you will vote for Hillary for President of the United States of America. Don’t be fooled by Richardson’s endorsement.

He will wait until the going gets good and then jump on the bandwagon. You're right he went with Obama for one HIspanic, himself. Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are. The company you keep tells a lot about who you are. Bill Richardson is White/Hispanic, depending on the day of the week and who he is with at the time. We have a lot of people like that here. They will use their white name all the time, and then suddenly they find their Hispanic surname serves them better, so they hypenate it on. GMT- Bill Richardson is a fence rider.

I have lived to be 51 and have worked for everything I have. I am retired, own my own home, sent 4 kids to college, and travel often. And none of this was done on hope. It was all done with hard work. And as for change, what change does Obama really want. I've lived through change, and it is usually worse than before. He has never been specific.

Preachers will say things they want in their churches and he doesn't owe anymore of an apology than Hillary does apparently for Bill's racist comments such as the one he said about NC and SC. Fox News seems to love to take bits and pieces of Obama's speech too to use against him while listening to the whole thing makes sense. In the end, Hillary needs to just stop worrying about things like Richardson switching teams and making his decision. It seems that he is being penalized for making a vote. We aren't supposed to do that. Leave the man alone and respect his decision already. I don’t get why people keep bringing up what Wright said as mattering in what Obama does.

The words pertained to the U.S. Government and how it acts as if it is God. He stated in part, that if America could rob its native people of their land and decimate the race, place her citizens in concentration camps, bring Africans to this country, make slaves of them and force them to work without pay for more than 250 years, teach its citizens that these people are only 4/5th of a man, should be feared, pass laws to ensure that they live in a perpetual state of poverty, etc., then God damn America! Jeremiah Wright came of age when Jim Crow, Segregation, and Racism was rampant and highly visible in America, and as explained by Obama, probably retains some bitterness as a result.

Richardson and Obama are a good ticket. G-d speed to them. In the wake of the blatent Bosnia lie, if anyone is delusional into thinking that Obama supporters will somehow back Hillary if she goes on and wins the primaries, they are mistaken. Hillary should simply step down. Her cavalier attitude about such an egregious sustained lie -- not a mistatement -- points to all the more reason why she is not ready to be in such a position. How could we every be certain when Hillary is telling you the truth or on another fantasy flight? Gov. Richardson and Obama are a good ticket. G-d speed to them.
