Bill Richardson is a Calculating Opportunist, I’m not Impressed

Obama should reject and renounce him. This guy doesn't deserve to hold any high office. Here are top ten reasons why he shouldn't be the VP candidate:

  1. He is not a leader.
  2. He is disloyal. I'm no fan of the Clintons, but Richardson stabbed their back this time, slowly and with a twist.
  3. He prosecuted an innocent man, Wen Ho Lee, for his failure as the Energy Secretary, and locked him up in solitary confinement for 9 months. (http://www.commondreams.org/views/091600-104.htm)
  4. He repeated lied about the Wen Ho Lee case on national TV.
  5. He never apologized about the Wen Ho Lee debacle.
  6. Gay is by choice? (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lane-hudson/bill-richardsons-gay-slu_b_55656.html)
  7. North Korea diplomatic mission? Give me a break, what are the results?
  8. New Mexico, is he doing any governor's work?
  9. He is a terrible manager at the Energy Department. Missing files, missing tapes, lack of security, what a mess!
  10. He was a war hawk on Iraq until he started running for president a year ago.
  11. Bonus point: Robert Sheer (http://www.truthdig.com/) hates Richardson.

Do you have any other reasons?

Who can turn down a “friend,” when you have so few in the high places? Keep him around, but don’t give him any power. Power makes a bad man meaner!
