Richardson: 'I am very loyal to the Clintons'

(CNN) -- Facing fire from some fellow Democrats for his decision to endorse Sen. Barack Obama, Gov. Bill Richardson said Sunday he still considers himself loyal to the family that helped make his political career.

 "I am very loyal to the Clintons. I served under President Clinton. But I served well. And I served the country well. And he gave me that opportunity," Richardson told "Fox News Sunday."

Richardson was secretary of energy under the Clinton administration, a post that helped bring him to national prominence and win the governorship of New Mexico in 2002.

Richardson, who abandoned his presidential bid January 10, endorsed Obama on Friday as the Democratic nominee. He called Sen. Hillary Clinton Thursday to tell her of his decision, Clinton's campaign said.

 The Clinton campaign shrugged off the endorsement. "Both candidates have many great endorsers, but the voters, not endorsers, will decide this election, and there are still millions of voters in upcoming contests who want to have their voices heard," Clinton spokesman Jay Carson said.

Richardson was asked Sunday about James Carville's comment that Richardson's Obama endorsement "came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver." Carville is an adviser to Clinton's presidential campaign and a CNN political analyst.

 "Well, I'm not going to get in the gutter like that," Richardson said. "And you know, that's typical of many of the people around Sen. Clinton. They think they have a sense of entitlement to the presidency."

Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania, a prominent Clinton supporter, told Fox that he has no problem with Richardson's decision. He accused the Obama campaign of complaining about negativity while launching unfair attacks on Clinton.

Discussing a spat over whether Bill Clinton had challenged Obama's patriotism, Rendell said Obama is trying "to have it both ways."

The former president's remark last week that "it would be a great thing if we had an election where you had two people who love this country" sparked a dispute over whether he was questioning Obama's patriotism.

The full quote: "I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country. And people could actually ask themselves who is right on these issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics."

The Clinton campaign denied any slight to Obama's patriotism. But retired Gen. Tony McPeak, an Obama surrogate compared Clinton to Joe McCarthy.

he was secretary of something utterly insignificant.  I always sort of assumed that bill sticking his hand down
richardson's pants was part of the interview process.

"I am every bit as loyal to the Clintons as they were to me."

I caught Richardson's interview on the afternoon rebroadcast of foxnews sunday.  he was even less impressive and more squishy in person than he came off by reading the interview.

[Wretched Excess]

it was richardson, as ambassador to the UN, that was set to give moni*cough*ca a job
in return for her keeping her mouth shut . . . well, in return for closing her mouth, I suppose. 
then he ultimately had to explain his actions before the special counsel.

the point is, not only is he probably not loyal to the clintons, he probably blames them for
getting caugh up in zippergate in the first place.

He's not being disloyal.  He just can't be V.P. to the candidate that don't come out of the primary.  He figures a black/Mexican ticket will be unbeatable.

[Rebel]

Kinda goes along with the line, "We support the troops, we just don't support the war", doesn't it? He's being loyal to Clinton, but supporting Obama. Yeah, makes sense......to a f'n liberal.

Bill Richardson: So loyal, he endorsed the other guy.

Most people don't know Richardson is Latino -- not even Latinos!  O'Reilly had his folks ask 100 Latinos at random and not a single one knew who Bill Richardson is, much less that he is Latino.

He'll have to run as Guillermo Nino de Ricardo to get the Latino vote.
