Bitter Republicans are always fun to read. Compared to George W Bush, Obama is a fricken genius. Suck it up.

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson abandoned his nomination to become commerce secretary under pressure of a grand jury investigation into a state contract awarded to his political donors

skylight63! Wow did U ever call his one 2 weeks ago! I just read todays news & it's all happening, and Richardson just stepped down too! I'm no fan of most politicians but Richardson was a nobody til the Clintons gave him a chance, a job, a title & lots of support. But he bought obamas snake-oil conning & thought he could get 2B VP if he got his compadres to support obama. So he backstabbed Hillary. He could not even face the interviewer when he said he endorsed BHO over HRC "for the country".

Well the Obama Presidency is off to quite and inauspicious start, 2 senate seats from the Mid-West have become a soap opera, the Governor of his home state was indicted for pulling an Al Bundy like scheme, and now Bill has declined this offer because he is facing a grand jury investigation, oh and the Middle East looks like it's about to explode, none of it can be any good. Obama stop giving jobs to members of the Democratic party Kabal and please pick Kathleen Sellibus for this post
