POLITICAL ROUND UP: RICHARDSON ENDORSES OBAMA / TRUTH ABOUT TRINITY / PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARY

March 21st, 2008

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, the nation’s only Latino governor, endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, on Friday, calling him an “extraordinary American” and urging Democrats to unite behind his candidacy and move the nation beyond its racial and partisan divide.

Richardson dropped out of the race in January and said that Obama’s speech earlier this week prompted him to inform the senator that he was inspired and impressed.

“Senator Barack Obama addressed the issue of race with the eloquence and sincerity and decency and optimism we have come to expect of him,” Richardson said at a Portland rally. “He did not seek to evade tough issues or to soothe us with comforting half-truths. Rather, he inspired us by reminding us of the awesome potential residing in our own responsibility.”

THE TRUTH ABOUT TRINITY

Sen. Barack Obama, along with his church and former pastor, have come under a media firestorm in recent weeks.

But one blog has set out to explain the truth about Jeremiah Wright and Trinity United Church of Christ.

The writer, who is a member of the church, writes that the purpose of the blog is to “give the world a perspective from the inside out.” You can also check out the Trinity YouTube channel which offers videos “about [the] church from [its] point of view.” Shout out to CL Reader Shannon for the info.

THE PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARY

In less than a month, on April 22, the Pennsylvania Democratic primary will offer 188 total delegates. Analysts suggest Sen. Hillary Clinton will need a solid victory with a superdelegate strategy to justify her comeback victories in Texas and Ohio, while Obama will need to counter by winning the majority of the 158 pledged delegates at stake.

Pennsylvania is expected to play a large role in deciding the Democratic party’s presidential nominee as it offers the most delegates of any state remaining in the Democratic primaries. Earlier this week, Russell Simmons announced the “Hip-Hop Team Vote: Turn up the Vote” campaign at the University of Pennsylvania. According to the Voter Registration Administrator for Philadelphia County, it saw a 1.7 percent increase in Democratic Party registrations while all other parties – including the Republican Party – saw a 1.3 percent decrease in party registrations between Feb. 11 and March 17.

The latest Rasmussen Reports show Clinton leading Obama 51 percent to 38 percent.

    The Hispanics are behind Obama because they know of the struggle in America as well. Obama is about Unity.

    I live in NM and I could have sworn that Bill Richardson is Native American and Hispanic. I always thought he would have ended up endorsing Clinton, but I suppose I was wrong about that one. He’s done a lot for the bigger cities in NM, wish we could see some of those changes in the smaller towns. but smalltown people just kinda do what they want here:(

    I havent really kept up with all the church stuff going on with Obama recently. Mostly b/c I dont really care what is said. There are some things that my pastor says that I dont agree with, but I still go…

    This is actually a blow to the Clinton campaign. Richardson is very brave to come forth. He is a superdelegant and one of Clinton old administrators. This was one of Bill’s “road dawgs”. But however, inner Washington is quite aware of the Clinton scandals and wrongful doing. This endorsement tells us something. Its not about what you did, its what you stand for.

    .J. Drakar BTW excellent post. Your professional presentation of politics is greatly appreciated….

    I heard Obama’s speech earlier today and…this guy just KEEPS on comin’ with the REAL! The issue of race is definately a dialogue that ALL americans need to have. It is an issue that is often swept under the rug and ignored. I LOVE OBAMA even more after Tuesday’s speech! I hope that many Latinos will begin to follow in Richardson’s footsteps and see that Obama is about unity amongst the many different ethnicities and cultures that make America. Hillary NEEDS to stay under the rock she’s under bc the world is MUCH more quiet and peaceful without her Obama bashing.

    P.S.- I took a Mexican American history course last semester and “Hispanic” is politically incorrect. Militant Mexicans prefer “chicano” and many other prefer Latino. Our schools have again lied to us saying that Mexicans and Latinos are “Hispanic” bc their ancestors are from Spain. BULLSHIT. Mexicans are indigenous ppl who lived in America b4 chris columbus’ theivin’ ass came and stole thier land. They cut half of their territory off and called it Mexico.

    Sorry for the tangent. lol I learned a lot abt them and their struggle is VERY similar to ours and they deserve to be treated way better than they have been. Bill Richardson knows this and that is why he has endorsed Obama. ok, i’m done now. PEACE ;)

    I am almost certain that Obama will pick Richardson as his running mate…
    I wonder what Edwards, Gore, and Jimmy Carter is waiting for? they need to go ahead and endorse Obama. But I guess timing has top be correct. Politics is about timming and numbers. Obama really needed this (positive morale) endorsement.
    Hilliary has become too quiet. This was an eagle blow to her campaign when Richardson endorsed Obama…

    I’m a AMERICAN does that mean I believe in everything that Bush does and says???? No so they can’t say Obama believes in everything his Pastor says. I don’t even believe in everything my pastor says because they are human. They act like Obama has been to church every Sunday. Why is the cameras not in Clinton’s church????? He did a excellent job handling that.

    There is still Texas…they will officially announce Texas results on the 29th of March, in which CNN already projected Obama votes to surpass Clintons. Just when we thought Billary was going to wrap up Texas and Ohio…the only reason why she won Ohio…is that she did it unfairly and by lying to the people about NAFTA.

    You can go and look at her just released records from the White House, where it is on record that Clinton was a big supporter of NAFTA, not as she lied about in Ohio…PA here we come! I still think that Obama has plenty of time to put a sizable dent in PA….these the stats that J.Dakar posted were similar to the stats when they were heading towards Texas…and look what happened, he walked away with more delegates!

    YES WE CAN PA!!! HERE WE COME!!
    With Spring break next week and this weekend holiday I will spend this weekend and next weekend phone banking for the campaign. I still donated $25 a month, and I am phone banking to registered voters in PA for support for OBAMA!!!…You can phone bank to show your support by going to the mybarackobama.com and register today and BA-RACK THE VOTE!

    This is how this man won Texas…think about this…he runs his campaign as the way he would run this country by his gift of organizing and getting it done! The Clintons did not plan well, they guessed that he would be out by January…this is why Hillary ran out of money…he has out smarted, out spent, out organized and has proven that he is the TRUTH!

    Next up, is the FEC Lawsuit against Hillary Clinton for Campaign fraud. She is being taken to court and the FEC are going after her for allowing Peter Paul and Stan Lee (Spiderman/Marvel Comics) to basically help get Hollywood donors for her run for NY Senator, by promising access (pimping out Bill), to these companies in exchange for monetary and access to Hollywood celebs and fundraising that won her the seat for NY Senator.
    => Tax returns will show that Billary have been getting money from a lot of Daddy Bush’s conservative playmates…United Arab Emirates and Dubai Sheiks who have donated over $10 million to the Clintons for Bill’s Presidential Library. The Clinton’s have been linked to Daddy Bush’s Carlyle Group in which most of the past and current staffers are working or have worked for Daddy Bush!

    “Big Businesses Love Hillary”–Newsweek Magazine. Do not get it twisted folks….another 4-8 years of the same ol’ Washington bullcrap with Billary!

    Go Obama!!!!…Keep shaking these ol’ fools up and changing the game!

    Y’all got to hear the pastor out of NY talking greesy about Obama. To paraphrase he said Obama was born Garbage because his mother is white and his father is black. He also said that nobody even knew who Obama was until he had white woman with 54d’s where his name on their chest. I swear this came out of his mouth from the pulpit. Go see for yourself!

    I am really loving how Obama is running his campaign. He fights back with an half-hour speech (pull that one out Hillary) and the speech itself made history. Also, gaining this endorsement will help in the Latino community and ease some tensions between the communities. This endorsement, even though Hillary said that it wasn’t significant, is. He worked in the Clinton white house, had an ambassadorship and worked in the UN under Bill, and actually is (or was after today) a good friend to the Clintons. He knows them better than anyone else, and for him to choose him over her says something about the true character of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

    If anyone watched the rest of the Obama’s Pastor’s video…like everyone else over the past two days, you would know that Obama’s Pastor was actually referring to a White Diplomat who was on Fox News, he was simply paraphrasing what the man said about the “damning of American and Roosters Coming Home to Roost”!

    Obama did not lie and nor was he there when all of this happened. Just like the sick and stupid media whores…people only read/listen to the chopped and minced sound bytes and garbage without searching for the truth…when John McCain racist pastorsm Reverened Hagee…who said hateful things about Jews came out a few weeks ago and John McCain said that he basically model his faith from this idiot…no one says anything about that or recently another far right nut evangelist leader Reverend Rod Parsley of the World Harvest Church of Columbus, Ohio — whom Sen. John McCain hails as a spiritual adviser — has suggested on several occasions that the U.S. government was complicit in facilitating black genocide.

    Notice Hillary Clinton has not come out about Obama’s Pastor either, because there is a picture of him and Bill Clinton posted on CNN and Huffington Post.com with Obama’s Pastor at a White House event in 1998, when Bill “sinned” and the Black community forgave him and endorsed him with love…this would include Obama’s Pastor as well…go and see for yourselves.

    There is clearly one standard for Clinton and McCain, but another to crucify Obama by any means necessary!

    There’s a reason why Hillary Clinton has remained relatively silent during the flap over intemperate remarks by Barack Obama’s former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. When it comes to unsavory religious affiliations, she’s a lot more vulnerable than Obama.

    You can find all about it in a widely under-read article in an old article in the September 2007 issue of “Mother Jones”, in which Kathryn Joyce and Jeff Sharlet reported that “through all of her years in Washington, Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as the “Fellowship,” aka the Family. But it won’t be a secret much longer. Jeff Sharlet’s shocking exposé, The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power will be published in May. But Sean Hannity is allowed to call Obama’s church an “Cult”.

    “The Family’s” most visible activity is its blandly innocuous National Prayer Breakfast, held every February in Washington. But almost all its real work goes on behind the scenes — knitting together international networks of right-wing leaders, most of them ostensibly Christian. In the 1940s, the Family reached out to former and not-so-former Nazis, and its fascination with that exemplary leader, Adolph Hitler, has continued, along with ties to a whole bestiary of murderous thugs. As Sharlet reported in Harper’s in 2003:

    During the 1960s the “Family” had forged relationships between the U.S. government and some of the most anti-Communist (and dictatorial) elements within Africa’s postcolonial leadership. The Brazilian dictator General Costa e Silva, with Family support, was overseeing regular fellowship groups for Latin American leaders, while, in Indonesia, General Suharto (whose tally of several hundred thousand “Communists” killed marks him as one of the century’s most murderous dictators) was presiding over a group of fifty Indonesian legislators. During the Reagan Administration, the Family helped build friendships between the U.S. government and men such as Salvadoran general Carlos Eugenios Vides Casanova, convicted by a Florida jury of the torture of thousands, and Honduran general Gustavo Alvarez Martinez, himself an evangelical minister, who was linked to both the CIA and death squads before his own demise.

    DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE…Hillary is more conservative than you think my people! This is why the Republicans want her to run. so they can let loose on her and Bill’s shady workings! They have nothing on Obama:

    Attack Obama’s patrotism: Check
    Attack Obama’s religion: Check
    Soon.. Obama’s manhood with lies of sex and drugs: In Progress!!

    i think we see what we want to see.

    Obama was picking up a lot of independent voters that would have swung the general election in his favor.

    I really believe he lost those independent votes; not after the video clips emerged of his pastors, but once it was revealed that he was a member of such a congregation for 20 years, this pastor married him as well as, christianed his children.

    Even if he makes it out of the democratic primaries….there’s no way the average person with common sense will submit a confident vote for a person who’s moral and ethical beliefs are so questionable.

    rev. wright sounded more extreme than farrah khan.

    How did the black church evolve to this?

    The democratic (and possibly the republican) party needs a deadline/special rules for campaigning. I mean Hillary is ri-dam-dic-u-lous! Does she know how she is diving the party over her greed for power? Does she see the gains the republicans are making the longer this foolishness continues. Hell, if she eeks her way through, she’ll have to deal with disenchanted voters that she has turned away with her not so slick tricks. I know for show that I won’t vote her dog catcher. I’d rather vote for Satan…er…McCain!

    EVERY PERSON WHO HAS RUN FOR PRESIDENT IS SUPPORTED BY A RELIGIOUS FANATIC. BILLY GRAHAM SAID FAR WORSE THINGS THAN JEREMIAH WRIGHT. HE SUPPORTED MANY A PRESIDENT.

    THIS IS ONLY AN ISSUE BECAUSE ITS ABOUT BARACK OBAMA. PARTICULARLY THE FACT THAT ONLY A PORTION OF THE SERMON IS PLAYED IN THE MEDIA. THAT’S VERY MISLEADING AS IT PERTAINS TO THE OVERALL POINT.

    THEY POWERS THAT BE COUNT ON THE IGNORANCE THAT YOU EXPRESS. UNFORTUNATELY FOR THEM, THIS TIME, THE SMART PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY ARE PICKING OUR PRESIDENT.

    WE WANT CHANGE, WE WANT TO BE SPOKEN TO LIKE WE’RE ADULTS, WE WANT A PRESIDENT WHO WILL NOT BE AFRAID TO TELL US THE TRUTH. WE CAN WIN AND WE WILL WIN.

    #9, you are right that some Mexican-Americans prefer Latino over Hispanic. But there are also some who prefer just to be called “Mexican”. I am Mexican-American and don’t mind Hispanic or Latino…but I definitely do not like Chicano. I guess what I’m saying is that everyone is different, but it’s cool that you showed such interest.

    LET ME SAY THIS I AM 56 YEARS YOUNG AND WHEN THIS RACE STARTED AND SOMONE SAID TO ME THEY MAY KILL HIM i SAID THEY MAY TRY BUT THEY WILL NOT USE A GUN THEY ARE GOING TO USE THE INTERNET AND THE MEDIA i SAID TRUST ME THE MEDIA IS BASICALLY DOMINATED BY WHITE AMERICA THAT IS WHY YOU YOUNG FOLKS GOT TO GET YOUR EDUCATIONS AND GET YOUR STUFF!!!!
    YOUNG PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION SPEAK TO YOUR OLDER FAMILY MEMBERS AND TO YOUR WHITE FRIENDS AND CO WORKERS CONVINCE THEM TO LISTEN TO THE SPEECHES WOULD NOT BE GOOD TO BOYCOTT FOX,CNN BECAUSE WE MUST KNOW WHAT OUR ENEMY IS DOING. OBAMAS ENEMY IS OUR ENEMY AND SOMEONE TALKED ABOUT STARTING A PETITION IF ONE POPS UP ON THE INTERNET WE WILL MOST DEF COUNTER ATTACK (YOU FEEL ME ANGEL) .GIRL YOU ARE HERE FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS.
    WE OLDER PEOPLE KNEW THIS WOULD BE A DIFFICULT TASK…BUT THE MOST POWERFUL AND PROPHETIC WORDS IN HIS SPEECH WAS WHEN HE DECLARED “NOT THIS TIME , NOT THIS TIME.” THESE WORDS RING TO MY SPIRIT.
    WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!
    PRAY FOR HIM EACH AND EVERY DAY AS WELL AS HIS WIFE THEY ARE ATTACKING HER TOO!!!!!! KEEP THEM BOTH COVERED IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND PRAY THAT REV.WRIGHT HONORS OBAMA AS OBAMA HAS HONORED HIM!!!!
    REV.WRIGHT NEEDS TO SPEAK OUT ON SIXTY MINUTES AND MAYBE ASK THE PEOPLE WHOM HE MAY HAVE OFFENDED FOR FORGIVENESS..IT IS NOT OBAMAS JOB TO SAY FORGIVE ME FOR SOMETHING HE SAID AS FOX NEWS HAS ELUDED TOO..IT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR WRIGHT TO ASK GODS FORGIVENESS BUT HE SHOULD FORMERLY APOLOGIZE..THAT WOULD SHOW TRUE HUMILITY AND WHEN WE KNOW BETTER WE DO BETTER.
    I FORGIVE PASTOR WRIGHT BECAUSE I KNOW GODS MECY TRIUMPHS OER JUDGEMENT.
    AND SHAME ON YOU YOUNG PEOPLE YOU LEAVE HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS MESS AND JACKED UP PICS ON THESE BLOGS AND SOMETHING WHICH AFFECTS YOU FUTURE YOU HAVE NOT MUCH TO SAY…SEE THIS IS THE PROBLEM RIGHT HERE WHEN YOU DON’T WANT TO WANT TO EMPOWER YOURSELVES THEN YOU CAN’T BLAME THE WHITE MAN.

Also, every major war we have been apart we (THE U.S.) has provoked. I wish more pastors would talk about news related issues that are currently effecting us.

Hispanics are not going to vote republican and they only know of Hillary because of Bill, they have to be informed and their leaders will do that, they identify with the democratic party and their people are going to make sure what the repubs feel about the border and their being here.
    Remeber man has a strategy, but God has a plan and remember this God sees every article he hears what we don’t hear behind closed doors if you know how to pray for Obama then pray and keep praying the Lord has not brought him this far to leave him the man carries himself this way not because he is weak but it is like he said he is not doing this by himself, he himself said in NH when interviewd on his campaign bus the Lord is with him.

    #39 Please don’t say ALL Latinos! That is not fair. I am Mexican-American and went to an HBCU and voted for Obama. All of my Latino friends and family voted for Obama. Yes, it is true that the majority of Latinos voted for Hilary but it’s dangerous to say ALL. You have to understand that many Latinos are uneducated in many ways wether it is with language or social issues. There are a lot of cultural aspects involved with their support of Hilary. I’m trying to get the word out to my fellow Latinos, just bear with us :-)

    Hell yeah #37….in the words of chris brown, it’ll be on and “”poppiiinnn, ooh ooh oo ooo ooo ooo”

    actually, nah, they still gotta cater to a white majority, but i do think it’ll be a great sight.

  48. Wow I can’t believe he is the only Latino governor in the nation, that’s insane and very eye opening. Minorities continue to take a back seat in politics. It’s excellent Richardson is endorsing Obama and supports his vision for change.

    Obama you rock my brotha. Shake the haters off and keep on keeping on!

    That video of Richardson endorsing Obama was GREAT and funny. I loved the story about Richardson being asked a question in a debate and Obama helped him out. Richardson knows deep down inside that Obama is what this country needs. The man was practically Bill Clinton’s right hand man… they even watched the Super Bowl together. This is major for Obama!!! Even Jon Stewart had something to say about Obama and his speech. It was hard to watch it at first because it seemed like he was making fun of Obama and black americans… but it turns out, he was in favor of Obama and the historical speech he gave on race. Jon Stewart ended by saying, “A prominent American politician spoke about race as though we were adults!”

    Oh and Chris Wallace takes Fox News to task concerning their Obama bashing. That is a must see video on youtube.

    I really wish Bill Richardson would have came out early with his endorsement. It would have had more of an impact with the Latino vote in Texas. Anyway, better late than never.

    I’m glad Trinity is putting their side of their church out there. You just can’t make an informed judgment based on a 30 sec clip.

    ATTENTION EVERYONE, VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!

    WHAT I HAVE TO TELLYOU IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH THIS IS NOT A LIE OR A RUMOR.
    IF YOU ALL WILL RECALL IT WAS THURSDAY THEY WHEN THEY MENTIONED THE BREACH OF OBAMAS PASSPORT, AND THEN THE NEXT MORNING THEY SAID THAT HILLARYS AND MCCAINS HAD BEEN BREACHED AS WELL LOOK THEY ALREADY KNEW THIS…THIS WAS A SMOKE SCREEN OBAMAS PASSORT SECURITY HAD BEEN BREACHED JAN, FEB, MARCH , (his WIFE AND CHILDREN AS WELL).HE WAS JUST NOTIFIED THEN. GO FIGURE…I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WHO WORKS AT THE PENTAGON.

    ALSO I JUST LEARNED TODAY THAT VIA PHONE THAT SINCE REV.WRIGHTS MESSAGE HAS BEEN PLAYED BY THE MEDIA THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF DEATH THREATS AGAINST HIM, ALSO THEY WANT TO PLAY IT OFF BUT THE PASSPORT BREACH IS VERY SERIOUS BECAUSE OBAMA, HIS WIFE AND HIS CHILDREN HAVE RECIEVED DEATH THREATS..GUESS WHO KNOWS NEW YORK TIMES, MAINSTREAM MEDIA , CNN AND FOX.
    ALSO THE PERSON WHO BREACHED OBAMAS SECURITY WITH PASSPORT WAS AND IS A CLINTON ASSOCIATE!!!!!!
    I HATED TO PUT THIS ON HERE, YOU ALL NEED TO KNOW THIS IS ONE REASON WHY WE DON’T SEE MICHELLE OR THE CHILDREN AS MUCH AS WE USE TO ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL SHE IS NOW BRISKLY AND QUICKLY TAKEN AWAY.
    THIS IS SOME SERIOUS SHIT…..THE OPRAH SUITS ARE POLITICAL AND HATE MOTIVATED TOO!!!!!!!
    THIS COUNTRY IS STILL AS RACIST AS EVER AND THAT’S WHY FOX NEWS AND CNN WANT TO SHUT IT UP…..DON’T WANT US TO REALLY SEE WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!!!

    WE GOT TO PRAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE FOR MR.OBAMA AND HIS FAMILY AND REV.WRIGHT..THAT IS WHY NO ONE IS REVEALING WHERE HER IS THE THREATS WERE IMMEDIATE..HE HAS NOT LEFT OBAMA HANGING HE IS IN A SEAFE PLAE FOR HIS OWN PROTECTION HE AND HIS FAMILY!!!!! PRAY FOR THE MEMBERS AT TRINITY!!!!

    GOD BLESS YOU ALL..SORRY TO BE A BEARER OF BAD NEWS!!!!!

    I still love the clintons but I had to have a change of heart after Barack’s most beautiful, heartfelt, speech which showed that minorities can trust him to not abandon his people when he is elected. The man is just a class act.

    BTW I live in Texas and although Hillary wants to claim victory in Texas, Barack Obama won the most delegates in Texas and Hilary’s victory was no victory at all.
