Fascinating Anecdote About Richardson and Obama
This is interesting, though it probably says more about Richardson than it does about Obama.
"I had just been asked a question — I don't remember which one — and Obama was sitting right next to me. Then the moderator went across the room, I think to Chris Dodd, so I thought I was home free for a while. I wasn't going to listen to the next question. I was about to say something to Obama when the moderator turned to me and said, 'So, Gov. Richardson, what do you think of that?' But I wasn't paying any attention!
I was about to say, 'Could you repeat the question? I wasn't listening.' But I wasn't about to say I wasn't listening. I looked at Obama. I was just horrified. And Obama whispered, 'Katrina. Katrina.' The question was on Katrina! So I said, 'On Katrina, my policy...' Obama could have just thrown me under the bus. So I said, 'Obama, that was good of you to do that.'"
From WaPo via Andrew Sullivan.
Wow, how cool is that?
Hillary would've thrown him under the bus.
So it was Obama that was whispering help to Romney in that Repub Debate
tom, there's no evidence hilary would have thrown him under the bus. richardson was no challenge to anyone's campaign, and the reptile part of her brain would've recognized how much his endorsement would mean later on and play it nice. on the other hand, if she were driving the bus...
It's somewhat of a relief that a man who couldn't take an important political debate seriously got weeded out. Too bad someone so flighty has super delegate status. He and Obama remind me of two guys I was in school with ... in 5th grade.
