Richardson endorses Obama

From the Hotline:

Governor Richardson Statement

Today I am endorsing Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States because I believe he is the kind of once-in-a-lifetime leader that can bring our nation together and restore America's moral leadership in the world. As a Presidential candidate, I know full well Senator Obama's unique ability to inspire the American people to confront our urgent challenges at home and abroad in a spirit of bipartisanship and reconciliation.

Moreover, as a former ambassador to the United Nations and senior U.S. diplomat, I've had to deal with some of the world's toughest characters – from Saddam Hussein to North Korean generals to Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir. And there is no doubt in my mind that Barack Obama has the judgment and courage we need in a Commander-in-Chief when our nation's security is on the line. He showed this judgment by opposing the Iraq war from the start, and he has shown it during this campaign by standing up for a new era in American leadership internationally.

Senator Clinton is a distinguished leader with vast experience. Her historic candidacy has also been a pleasure to witness. The 1990's were a decade of peace and prosperity because of the competent and enlightened leadership of the Clinton administration, but it is now time for a new generation of leadership to lead America forward. Barack Obama will be a historic and a great President, who can bring us the change we so desperately need by bringing us together as a nation here at home and with our allies abroad.
