Richardson endorses Obama

Mar. 21 - New Mexico Governor and former Democratic candidate Bill Richardson has endorsed Senator Barack Obama. Richardson, a former democratic candidate himself, served as energy secretary and U.N. ambassador in Former President Bill Clinton's administration. His support has the potential to give the Illinois senator a boost among Hispanic voters. The endorsement is also a blow to rival Hillary Clinton - who is seen as influential within the Latino community. Lindsay Claiborn reports.

ok, its oficial...

Obama for president

Richardson for Vicepresident

Who could possible imagine that in the past: a black and a latino in the whitehouse, jajajajajajaja

Like a Carter aide said: "The Clintons are only there when they need you."

And to all those saying he went with his "emotions"...since when do politicians have emotions?

I suppose that John Kerry, Senator Kennedy, and Chris Dodd also went with their emotions?

most of us don't vote for a candidate's race or ethnicity,that's the difference between latinos and blacks,we vote for whomever we think is a very candidate,in this case is Hillary.by the way,like a good latin that i am,i'm not afraid of blacks,my warrior heart has taught me to survive in their habitat and anyway im only here temporarily,like all immigrants,we work hard to have our own home and better ourselves and move out ,good thing we don't let the white devil keep us down and opressed,lol

[ivandemer718]

why don't you try and  move into my neighborhood east new york,brooklyn.enlist your white son or daughter in the nearest public school system and then tell me what a racist i am.all i can say is you have to live amongs black people to know what they're really like,the blacks you probably work with are the succesful ones who probably have moved out of the ghettoe a long time ago and like many black fathers deserted their communities.

Ivandemer, Also whites DID enslave latinos. The only difference is that they enslaved you in your own lands. Should you hate whites of today for it? No. I'm just reminding you of your history. When a latino candidate runs for office, I hope the blacks treat your guy better than the way latinos are treating Obama. In the meantime be careful! There might be some random black guy around the corner waiting to rob you! They all steal, y'know! Yee haw!

[Velayasha]

Ivandemer For one thing, I am white. I still support Obama. I don't have a problem with Hillary supporters unless they're voting along racial lines. Hillary is getting some votes because people are voting against "the black guy". Not really because they believe in Hil. Also, you did it again. "..black men should not desert their women and kids?" Have you considered the fact that a lot of black men DO raise their families? Dude, you're a racist. Straight up.

[ivandemer718]

education is the only way out of the ghettoe(that's how obama got to where he is),i think black men should start by not deserting their women and kids and taking responsability for their own actions.our ancestors were also robbed and raped by Spain,but that doesn't mean that i won't try to give my kids good moral values and a good education.we cannot let their teachers try to be our kids parents.you gotta relax,many people say latinos are on welfare,i know i'm not so it doesn't bother me at all

[ivandemer718]

i'm gonna tell you something man,we latinos cannot identify with the problems you have with the whites because we've never been enslaved by them,but by the same token most of us come from countries where the majority of us had it rough,in latin america we don't have a racial discrimination as much as a social discrimination.i wish you guys would go to latin america one day and only then you'll understand where i'm coming from.

ivandemer, 70% of latinos ARE wrong if they believe that Hillary can relate to them more because she's "not black". If anything, it would be Obama who is more sensitive to needs of minorities. He IS one. This brown vs. black thing is stupid. You act like every black person is waiting for a victim to rob. Do u know how close to a redneck hillbilly you sound? There are good blacks who work hard like latinos do. Your generalizations are racism. Pure and simple.

[ivandemer718]

our catholic priests are not preaching death and destruction to whites or other races and most of us work for a living,most of us have a sense of respect for other races and for every bad apple that we have, blacks have 50 of them.let's face it most black people have a very low self steem,they hate themselves and everybody else.gohead keep dreaming that you'll have a black malcon X figure running this great country,you'll have to give birth to a lot of your siblings for that to happen.
