MSM spinning for Richardson and Obama

Richardson's public life imperfect but resilient

Seriously, if you think the MSM is attempting to pad Obama's fall from grace, you are probably right after reading the above headline from the AP. Now check out how quickly many of these other headlines are attempting to spin Obama's pick for Department of Commerce , Bill Richardson.

CNN-Bill Richardson bows out of commerce secretary job

I guess Richardson is bowing out instead of resigning in disgrace.

MSNBC/AP- Richardson withdraws as Commerce nominee, New Mexico governor cites pending investigation of business dealings

Business dealing? How about illegal campaign contributions, which is what they appear to be.

Read inside the article and you will see this little gem from MSNBC/AP

The president-elect has remained above the fray in both the case of arrested Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and the New Mexico case.

Above the fray? Yeah, right!

Of course, the Washington Post had to jump on that "business dealings" stuff.

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has withdrawn his name from consideration as commerce secretary for President-elect Barack Obama, citing an ongoing investigation about business dealings in his state.

To the credit of the Washington Post, they are not letting Obama off as easily as everyone else.

The decision is the first serious political hit for one of Obama's Cabinet nominees and comes just as confirmation hearings begin next week.

With these types of problems as the President elect, imagine how many issues you will have when he is the actual President.
