Manager, Hillary is, and perhaps the time they spend throwing the kitchen sink at Obama, should be time spent vetting and trying to get her stories straight.
Also considering the fact that they have financial woes, due to extravagance and mismanagement of funds, we now have a good indication of how Hillary would run the WH.
This reminds me of the "babies in incubators" story from late 1990, Gulf War I.

Being caught so badly on video, should be an embarrassment for her.
It seems Hillary is the candidate who is NOT electable. It is naive for her to
think that the Republicans will not bring out all these lies, on top of the baggage she carries.
They wag their finger, they make up stories in front of the camera, lie about their resumes, the Clintons seem to be serial liars.

"...Senator Clinton, in voting to authorize the war, displayed a tragic recklessness. A more complete picture, in fact the "real" truth was available, and the Senator didn't make the effort to seek it out. The logical question given the gravity and ramifications of that vote: Was it just carelessness or a willingness to select the data set that provided an advantageous political position?
And so we come to Trina Brachtel, her baby boy, and O’Bleness Memorial Hospital."

This tells me that she really DOESN'T believe American health care is in crisis. And it is.
With every one of these stories, I get more confused as to how so many women can be for her, while covering their ears and singing "LALALA I can't hear you." Do they really think having someone with a vagina in the White House will change anything?
I am a female -- in the age category that is profoundly pro-Clinton. Yes, I have withstood all the discrimination women have had -- for decades. Yet, to me, I want to be for a PERSON who will help me -- and the country -- the most. Whether it be a female, an AA, a Hispanic, a gay person, whatever -- I just want the best PERSON. Isn't that what EQUAL RIGHTS means?
She's dishonest to the bone just like her philandering husband Billy boy. I won't vote for her either. As hard as it is for me to stomach, I would rather even have McCain in the White House than another corrupt Clintonista.
Well, well, well. So it turns out that Hillary not only lied about her trip to Bosnia, lied about photo-shopping racist negative ads against Obama, but she also tried to prevent her tax returns from becoming public. Looky here: the rich bit*h was all along hoodwinking the American people and raking in millions. Slick Willie lied about the Monica affair and Hillary lies about her own conduct. What a bunch of crooks.
would i lie to you?
would i really tell you something
that wasn't true?

Do you understand health care?????? Hillary did NOT try to force "socialized medicine" on us. It was more of the same old crap that both she AND Obama tout now. The health care system in this country won't be fixed UNTIL we DO have socialized medicine.
And countless Americans will DIE, or have their lives greatly shortened until Americans get that through their thick skulls and stop freaking out when the term SOCIALIZED is brought up. GROW UP, you babies.
Yeah -- I'm sure the seniors don't like SOCIAL security, either.
I swear! This country is as dumb as dog droppings!
Traditionally, Democrat candidates for President start slightly radical, then try to reassure Conservative America, get in a tangle and look like idiots. But this time may be different, because Barack Obama has stuck by his friend the militant preacher, refusing to disown him, and Hillary Clinton has gone mental.
Her response to being caught lying to a military audience, when she invented a story about being under sniper fire in Bosnia, was to say it wasn't surprising she got some things wrong, seeing how she spoke millions of words every day. What a magnificent idea, that if you say lots of words some of them are bound to be fantastic lies. So if you listen carefully to horse-racing commentators they say things like "And it's Teddy's Boy still leading three furlongs out as they come up to the fourth last fence with Nip and Tuck two lengths behind by the way I fought a tiger once, punched it clean out and they're all safely over."
And auctioneers say, "Three-fifty, three-sixty, three-seventy, three-seventy man in the hat three-eighty here, my dad invented cornflakes, going once going twice, and magnets, he invented them straight up – gone."
Anyone can make a mistake about what happened on a trip, she said, and she's right. You might forget the name of the couple you met on the beach, or whether Thursday was the day you came under sustained mortar attack and had to dive behind sandbags and shoot your way out to safety, or was it the day you went to the dolphinarium.
This wasn't just a politician's lie, it was the pointless lie of someone who sits on their own in pubs and leans across to grab you and lie compulsively. Her next round of soft-focus adverts will probably feature her soothingly saying, "My fellow Americans, I drank a pint of walrus milk once for a bet. I speak fluent Eskimo. I once ate all the gherkins in Belgium. My brother's got a yak in his loft. I fell asleep on a night bus once and woke up in Munich, and had to get a lift back on a camel. I used to live on an iceberg. I've got a waffle-maker that works underwater."

In 2002, for instance, they reported income totaling $9.5 million and $115,000 in gifts to charity. In other years, they have given much larger amounts to their family foundation, but it has yet to disburse all of the money.
The Clintons took a tax deduction in 2004 for $2.5 million in charitable gifts, $2 million of which went to their family foundation, which as a tax-exempt nonprofit is considered a charity under the tax code. That same year, the foundation gave away just $221,000 to charitable groups, according to its tax return

article in the New York times. How convenient. i gotta get me one of the non profit deals.
I know what you HillBots will say. Well the loophole exists so use it. Not if you are talking about a cabinet post to look at poverty. Do some good for someone else not for yourself.
Another deceitful act by a greedy, unethical family.
i bet you this woman will tell us next week that she and bill live in the ghetto even though they earned 110 million.
LIAR AND THIEVES.
President Clinton's Presidential Pension: $1,217,250
NOW YOU KNOW WHY YOU CAN''T HAVE SOCIAL SECURITY AND HEALTH CARE. ALL THE MONEY IS GOING TO THE "DO NOTHING CONGRESS" SALARIES. NONE OF THEM ARE WORTH THAT KIND OF MONEY!
Watergate-Era Judiciary Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior
As Hillary Clinton came under increasing scrutiny for her story about facing sniper fire in Bosnia, one question that arose was whether she has engaged in a pattern of lying.
The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.
Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.
Why?
"Because she was a liar," Zeifman said in an interview last week. "She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality." .
The above was reported in the Atlantic.

I will openly admit Obama can't bowl worth shit, but at least he doesn't have a 40 year history of being a liar.
And with each and every assault, Obama becomes that much more determined to be a force for the good of the American People.
How can he not? Faced with the prospect of such evil taking control...
Lies are all they have.
Well, lies and large bank accounts.
And connections to shady global criminals.
And...
She has poor judgment (Iraq and Iran)
She cannot take rejection (Bill Richardson)
She is surrounded by suspicious characters (Mark Penn)
Her fund raisers are dishonest (Peter Paul, Norman Hsu)
Her husband has dealings with questionable people (sheik of Dubai, infoUSA, Vinod Gupta)
She has shown that she does not care for a fellow Democrat, or the parties chances to win the election in November.
Her dishonesty ratings are high.
Her negative ratings are high, and positive ratings are lower.
We would be fools to nominate a candidate like this, and make it easy for
the republicans to win this fall.
No wonder Junkie Rush has a schoolgirl crush on her.
mispoke, misheard, misunderstood,
STFU and DROP OUT.
Thanks
Group Of Superdelegates Can Appoint Other Superdelegates, Giving Them Even More Power
WASHINGTON (AP) ― Some of those presidential superdelegates Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton are pursuing are more super than others.
One delegate, one vote doesn't apply to them. These prominent Democrats can name additional superdelegates, giving them control over multiple convention votes, and that could be the difference in a race that may not be decided until the August convention.
The clout of the nearly 800 superdelegates is unprecedented in this year's race because neither Obama nor Clinton can clinch the nomination with only the delegates won in state primaries and caucuses. Largely overlooked in the arcane process, though, is the power of a select few to complete the superdelegate ranks by naming 76 newbies, and Clinton and Obama are fighting hard over every one of those from state conventions to back rooms.
Separated by fewer than 140 delegates, both candidates are lobbying the hundreds of known superdelegates, employing family, friends and influential surrogates to woo the governors, lawmakers and other party leaders. Some are more important than others.
Consider Art Torres, chairman of the California Democratic Party. He remains uncommitted, yet he could be the most powerful superdelegate of all. Torres gets to name five additional superdelegates, giving him control over six votes at the national convention this summer.
"I am the super of supers!" Torres proclaims with a laugh.

Just for the hell of it I goggle the Clinton Foundation. Seems like Bill is all over the world helping people to find solutions BUT not too much on actual cash being given out. For instance in New Orleans he joined Brad Pitt in help to rebuild. Pitt and some other guy donated $5 million dollars, Bill apparently donated his time.
Don't have to smack you in the forehead with a hammer more than a bazillion times eh?
Hillary wants to win at any cost. Even if the cost is destroying the party.
And destroying the nation.
"Here in NC, we know she lies like a rug..."
LOL
"Someone, say Howard Dean, needs to remind Clinton that she signed an agreement that supersedes anything that happened in Florida and Michigan. She didn't cry foul then.
Some say their votes should be ignored and the popular vote in Michigan and Florida should be discounted. Well, I have a different view," Clinton said at a rally here. "The popular vote in Florida and Michigan has already been counted. It was determined by election results, it was certified by election officials in each state, it's been officially tallied by the secretary of state in each state, and the question is whether those 2.3 million Democrats will be honored and their delegates seated by the Democratic party."

It implies a persistent ingrained pattern that won't go away.
"I'm the Decider Guy!"
That's because she's a little out of focus.
Its like wearing Bill's beer goggles.

Tell me when she tells the truth.
That'll be news.
Hillary only cares about the next hour. She doesn't think about the long term consequences of being caught lying if she can just get through this speech or interview

She sounds like Bush.
You want this kind of nonsense all fall?
Vote for Hillary and you'll get it.
(And remember what a reputation for even minor exagerations did to Gore.)
Just keep it away from your kids.
Some middle school kid in CO got busted snorting a Sharpie.

What color was it?
Are they the ones with the spandex and capes?
Hillary may be throwing the election to McSame.
And if McSame gets elected, its four more years of disaster.
Personally, I think we are fucked.
She has a fake accent for every region, doesn't she?
While it is impossible to be certain, the evidence points overwhelmingly to April 1962. So why did Clinton say "a cold night in January 1963" in her Selma speech? The Clinton campaign isn't saying, although I have asked them several times. The most likely explanation is that Clinton's speech writers rewrote the passage from the 1999 Gail Sheehy book, complete with the erroneous title for the sermon, without checking the facts. (The give-away clue: Both Sheehy and Clinton use the phrase "Great Revolution," which is not on the Sunday Evening Club index card.)

They gave her one Pinochio. Anyone sense a pattern of bad fact checking and embellishment.
Colombia cuts ties with Clinton strategist
Posted: 12:26 PM ET
Mark Penn is a chief strategist for the Clinton campaign.
(CNN) – The Colombian government severed ties with Clinton strategist Mark Penn and his public relations firm Saturday, unhappy Penn referred to a recent meeting with the Colombian ambassador as an "error in judgment."
"Mr. Mark Penn, President and CEO of Burson Marsteller, responded to claims by Union representatives who questioned his relationship with the Colombian Government by declaring that it was an 'error in judgment' to meet with his client the Colombian Ambassador on March 31. The Colombian government considers this a lack of respect to Colombians, and finds this response unacceptable," a statement from the Colombian embassy said.

yeah pretty strange for someone from illinois to have a midwestern accent.

No, it's not a Chicago area accent.
I live there, I know.
She's using some kind of phony Nebraska-Dakota accent.
Hillary's story about throwing her book bag at the news of MLK assassination stunk to high heaven. It's the kind of detail that might sound good in a novel but in real life, who the hell remembers throwing a book bag 40 years later?

Yeah, it sounded like a scene from a movie.
So, I have come not to trust anything she says. Just like W.
Question: Is there anyone in America who still thinks Hillary is the person we want to answer the phone in the White House at 3 AM?
What about all that experience she claims to have, even I would have gotten as much info on it if I were to be talking about it on the campaign trail!
Now-sadly, I wonder about any story she tells...MLK for instance.
Maybe she needs to go to Hollywood for awhile- get it out of her system.
No, don't really think the Republicans want to bring up that someone has a problem with lying since they have problems of their own. If you compare Clinton to Bush or any of his administration, yes, Clinton is probably a student of the Bush technique of using lies. However, compared to the Bush lies, she is just a grasshopper to the Zen master of Lies, the high priest of lies, the Liar-in-Chief.
It implies a persistent ingrained pattern that won't go away.
I'll drink to that!
We don't need another liar and deceiver in the White House. enough is enough!
