Bill Richardson: Advice to Democrats in Power

Bill Richardson
Governor Bill Richardson appeared on the CBS television show, Face the Nation yesterday and offered suggestions for President Obama and his other fellow Democratic Party leaders. He said Democrats should stop talking about their policies, especially the sweeping legislation they passed on healthcare. He also indicated it was unwise to discuss the new law or new regulations coming out of Washington that will affect financial institutions. Instead, Richardson thinks Democrats should start trying harder to connect with the public on basic "themes." He said what is needed for political success is to connect with voters on an "emotional level." Richardson also said he thinks it is a good idea to take on the Tea Party movement. He said for some reason everyone is afraid of the Tea Party. During the interview Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer did not ask Governor Richardson what he thought should be done to narrow the ballooning budget deficit in his own state.
