Ms Placed Democrat

Okay it seems we have another chapter of the Obama blame game happening now that Richardson withdrew his name as a candidate for Commerce Secretary. It appears that both teams are blaming one another. Nothing new here. There is very little evidence that Obama accepts responsibility for anything. His obvious narcissism just will not allow him to admit he is wrong. We see this in his reaction to Blagojevich and his alleged campaign finance irregularitiesInvestigation, Attorneys.

Here is the Obambi- “Judas” Richardson Blame Game:

Weeks before President-elect Barack Obama chose New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson to head the Commerce Department, a small group of volunteers with ethics, tax and investigative expertise — most of them lawyers — scoured his background looking for embarrassing facts or political problems.

But the team underestimated a potential time bomb — a grand jury investigation that had been focusing on Richardson’s gubernatorial office. The investigation had been widely reported, but Richardson seemed convinced that the probe, which involved a campaign donor, was not likely to thwart his Senate confirmation.

This stands in opposition to a statement that the little weasel, Robert Gibbs, presidential spokesman desigante made. Here is that statement from the LA Times:

“I think our vettors have done a good job.”

Right! This is a horribly inaccurate statement. Okay I will call it what it is, a bald face lie!

Read on The Blame Game Gets Better:

“This was out there, and he told them,” said a senior Richardson aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation. “I feel that they just missed the boat on it. The FBI or the campaign or something. I don’t think it’s fair that this is being portrayed as him holding anything back.”

Richardson responded in this manner:

“As you might expect, I’m disappointed in the turn of events,” Richardson said. “There were a lot of ways in which I thought I could help this country in a time of financial crisis. Sometimes your own dreams and plans must take a back seat to what is best for the nation.”

A Richardson aide said the governor did “nothing wrong” and noted that New Mexico news outlets had reported on the federal grand jury probe starting in August, when officials at the Finance Authority were first interviewed by the FBI about the agency’s selection of CDR Financial and its president, David Rubin, a Richardson donor.

Obama just refuses to accept that him or his team of vetting “experts did anything wrong. Watch out here comes the blame:

But a source with the Obama transition said Richardson’s disclosures to the team were incomplete.

One thing I have failed to mention here the Department of Justice and the FBI are kissing Obambi’s a$$ by agreeing with him. Of course this is all admitted anonymously:

Sources within the transition and the Justice Department said that Richardson had played down the importance of the probe and did not reveal that his office and staff could be at risk. The seriousness of the matter became apparent after the FBI began its own background check on Dec. 2. But Richardson’s longtime aides defended his disclosures, noting that subjects under examination by a grand jury are rarely aware of its secret deliberations.

A Justice Department source also said Richardson neglected to mention the ongoing investigation on a background-check questionnaire.

This story has been in the media for sometime now. It was obviously overlooked by Obama and his team of “experts”. However people who were reading papers have known this since last summer about the controversy. More on that from The American Spectator here. Obama was introduced to firm’s founder, David Rubin, in Denver at the Democratic National Convention by Governor Bill “Judas” Richardson. How is it possible Obambi didn’t know then?

Final Score in this Blame Game:

Obama - 0
Richardson - 1

Hows that going for you now Governor Bill “Judas” Richardson? Don’t worry we’ll make room under the bus for you!
