Bill Richardson, the former New Mexico governor who held in two senior positions in President Bill Clinton's administration, was labeled a turncoat in 2008 for endorsing Barack Obama over Hillary Rodham Clinton. Now, as Clinton weighs a second presidential run in 2016, Richardson wants the political world to know he's not on board -- yet.
When I called Richardson last week soliciting his thoughts on Clinton's book tour, the first thing Richardson said was, "You know I'm not in the 'Ready for Hillary' camp, right?"
"It's because of our differences when I endorsed Obama," Richardson said. "The differences haven't healed, and I'm not in the suck-up camp."

He stabbed them in the back in 2008 when Bill was invited to the NM governor's mansion to watch the Superbowl with Richardson and less than a month later announced he was supporting Obama for President.
Now he's playing coy saying she is having a good book tour and "honing her skills" for the coming campaign. At present I imagine either of the Clinton's would like to treat him like a bug and flick him off their arm to the floor. But campaigns make strange bedfellows and they may reconcile and have him campaign for Hispanic votes in 2016.

He’s probably still mad at the Clinton’s for asking him to offer a job to Lewinsky, because he then got called to testify at the Grand Jury.
He says Hillary has the ‘eye of the tiger’. I think it’s more like she is waiting for her coronation.
Richardson wants to be the first “Hispanic” president.
He’ll have to kill the Castro brothers of San Antonio and their Communist Mother first.
I really dislike Bill Richardson.
He claims he doesn’t like to concentrate on race and turns right around to remind us that he’s “Hispanic”.
Half-Hispanic, at that.
Wonder if BRich is hearing the enticing whisper of Squaw Warren?
Rest assured this is part of the coming battle for control of the RAT Party...Obama vs Clintons
I’m really looking for a rehash of all the Clinton scandals... especially Filegate/Travel office/Vince Foster and the rest. These people worse than the mafia... the mafia was easier to live with.
