It aint about attacking parties, Grow up and do the job and do the right thing. Clinton scares me to death, crazyness, bad morals, decietful, greedy etc.
Only in America there would be a chance for the first woman president with no logical understanding of the world around her. WE NEED LEADERS AS PRESIDENTS. We live in a world that requires new ideologies that can coexist with the government. Religion is obsolete and science is the new religion. Government isn't supposed to tolerate BS, they are supposed to follow there own set of rules the the govenment was founded upon. If a govenrment doesn't always keep the control it is then out of control; and it is. I love my America and I want it back the way it needs to be. Need to be an example for the rest of the world. Do they all forget history? Not giving out handouts to the needy, but fixing the problems so as there won't be a needy populate or as large of one. Onces that will live up to the greatness of many past heros of returning the nobel side of offices. Ones that realize they are writing history to be remebered by other future generations. Clinton is not a leader and what she beleives seems right is not reality of the our problems. She wants to spend funds on health care. To those who can afford to pay for their own. Sad yes, but as important to do right now is bad. We have too many illegals and too much of it would just go to them. The non citizens who don't care about their their own country and surly don't care of ours. I'm speaking mainly of illegal Hispanics. They are hard working good people. We better damn well throw money at fixing immigration first other wise you want to do healthcare and that would be a endless money Pit. You don't fix problems by throwing trees with ink at things. If anybody attacks anything, Help Fix mexico so peole can live there happily and not run off and cause big prolems here. What's wrong with mexico…Fix it. Solve Problems By Looking at the ORIGNS of the problem, not small centralized parts of problems. All problems we face we must attack an origin. If we don't, problem stays and it will cause something worse it is obviously apparent is it not. Our wars in the mid east are fixing origins of torn religious people who do seem to learn from mistakes and live in fear. The mentality will stay, we must keep on the offense in those areas, otherwise that will regroup over time and something will happen like 9/11 again or worse. Will it take another attackun homeland before people realize its permanent untill its finished. We are there for the right reasons. If we pull out, all those brave people envolved will have died in vain becuase selfish people are everywhere. We want our son home!! My dad home!! yeah yeah we know, but you fail to understand the bigger global pictures we are facing much more important over time then now. We are growing over capacity. We all fudge our resources knowing damn good an well we are the casue of bigger problems. Go buy a bunch of stuff and the things you don't need go throw in a landfill. Go on ahead and bury all the resources and drive your car and don't think about how you are killing the world slowly. Listen to the Media, let it distract you from what really going on, what's really important. Yeah! the media knows all, they know all about greed and selfishness and are the finiest example of those things that are not worth a fraction of a second of your time. Who cares about the news. I don't. they are lost as a naked baby in the woods. When everyhting becomes fubar someday it will be all back to Darwinism and we be fighting each other for the things we are wasting now. Go trade a tree that gives you a stable atmoshphere to inhale. Make so stupid symbol on it like its really worth anything. It was really only worth anything when it was a tree. It is a spectacular worth. These words to be read are not at all off the subject, merely everything is connected together. Start living in the real world and leave the confort zone. Sacarafice what you wanted most to do the right thing. We already have too much. We are lucky, now don't be selfish. Be SELFLESS

The whitehouse is showing their fear. The decider is the absurdity. He has been responsible for death and destruction. Now that's absurd!

Mexico is a rich country and is clearly taking advantage of us. We don’t need to deport everyone; all we need to do is take away the incentives for the Mexican immigration flood. We shouldn’t pall pass health care for all children, which is basically an open invitation for all poor Mexicans to flood our country. Our streets are already too crowded

What I don't understand is why some of us think that our constitution provides health care.No one has a birth right to HEALTH CARE!When some of you idiots wind up paying five,ten even more thousands each year in add'l Hillary health care taxes maybe then you will realize that you could have purchased,on your own a better,cheaper plan..get a grip!!!

Joe in NC,

"Of all the judgemental things to say…

Also I'm offended by your suggestion that being a single parent is the fault of the parent. "

A little reading comprehension on your part would go a long way.

Go review what was written.

Or here, I'll do it for you.

She said: "Being a mother of two and not married yet to their father, we are currently living on one income because it dosen't work out financially to put my children into day care…."

In that sentence, the term WE is used. That denotes a number greater than one. Hence, your reference to single is moot. And, since the two are co-habitating, being a "single" parent is the choice, at this point in time (Notice the word yet was used, which implies a possible change of status in the future).

"It doesn't work out financially to put my children into day care." The children should be delighted that Mom is at home with them.

Her situation is really no different than mine. We lived on one income (and still do).

I'm sorry that your father died when you were young, a similar thing happened to me except it was my mother. She died from complications arising from childbirth. So, I never knew her.

Don't accuse me of being judgemental, go find a mirror.

The US is invisible alright; and has always been that way for me as long as I can recall. I am due for eligibility as working-class senior citizenship and all administrations have ignored the middle class for many administrations.

Not just one administration! I do not recall any type of health care my entire life! I believe, as Hillary Clinton so aptly stated, that we, the poor, working-class and the elderly have been pushed aside by this administration; plus all previous administrations as far back as President Dwight D. Eisenhower. We ARE definitely invisible to them and that is the way they would like too keep it. Do you really believe things will change just because our administration is about change hands?

Way to go Joe Shepard, Spring Lake NC: August 15, 2007 11:34 AM 2,000,000 PAGES! The Clinton’s in the White House again! Is a disaster waiting to happen! Liken to a nuclear explosion. I will choose the heart of a nuclear explosion over the Clinton’s back in the White House any day of the week!

When will people learn that when you say “The Republicans” or “The Democrats” you are creating a defensive posture by one group or the other and forgetting the issues. Which is what the politicians want. If you blame the President for problems in the country you must also blame the other branches because there is no one branch of our government that has complete control. Hillary and George are “two wings of the same brid”. Not my quote but appropriate.

Has anyone else noticed the comments that go missing shortly after being posted? Many of them have no offensive remarks whatsoever, and yet they are still deleted. My conclusion: CNN sucks.

Apparently Clinton can not tell the differance between 'striking a nerve' and refuting a lie.

The dems remind me of another party that I thought I'd never see in this country. The Cummunist party. They believe that everyone everyone deserves the same. This is america. Make your own destiny. The government already takes to much from us. These stupid ideas that I should pay taxes so someone else can come here illegeally and I can pay for there welfare bill is crazy. Maybe we need to seperate the US for you all.North and south is starting to sound right but instead republicians and dems. then you can ruin your own land and please keep your illegeal buddys with you.

Like our troops will be important to her. No way, didn't see her go have Thanksgiving dinner with us troops instead of her family. As on who served while the other clinton was in office I'm sickened by her!! This war is just a tool to the dems. They don't really plan to pull us out after they get in office.

i'll say what everyone else is a fraid to say "shes a WOMAN"!!NO WAY A WOMAN WILL RUN THIS COUNTRY!!!

Hillary says it like it is. Anyone who says they are ashamed to have Ms. Clinton as their senator … well look who you have for a president!!! He totally does not belong in that position. He is a disgrace to this Country! Lila, Oklahoma City, OK

Get used to this phrase "President Hillary Clinton". She will do a great job of leading our country.

Go Hillary!

All GW cares about is money and how to make those with money even richer. It is time to elect a president who is for the American family and make sure that we have stability in this country that this government can not give us.
That is why I support Hillary Clinton because she cares about this country and sees that it is time for a change. I can't wait till she is president so the rest of the country is no longer invisible to her.
She will be our next president that will get things done other than making the rich richer and the poor poorer

Check this out, it is PRECIOUS!

"Christie Vilsack, who with her husband, Tom, the former Iowa governor, was part of the Clinton entourage, spent much of the more than two-hour tour introducing the candidate to familiar voters. But when Vilsack tried to coax 87-year-old Roberta Hindman to come meet Clinton, the elderly woman snapped: "No way. She makes me sick." Another passerby loudly referred to Clinton as "the Antichrist," and a third man argued with Tom Vilsack about whether she would become president, telling him, "I can't stand her."

Sounds like rough times ahead in Iowa for team Hill!

Van in NY

Let's not be blinded. Go look at Bush's record on funding for the VA…cut…cut and cut. So, he sent soldiers to war, was kind enough to show up and have a turkey dinner with them and then cut funding for their medical care when they return home. Yeah he supports our troops, until they actually need something like medical care.

The truth hurts! If you are Republican, or one of the 3 in 10 people still unable to extract your head from your…well you know. I don't support Hillary, but this is nothing but the truth, about the most disgraceful President in the history of this great country. He makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout.
TomRealTexan

Hilary is right; I applaud her. I cannot write the disgusting words I feel for Bush; he should have been impeached 2 years ago. Helped the seniors? ….B.S. The only person he helps is himself….the narcisstic, ignorant egomaniac.

Republicans, reactionaries, and RACISTS all seem to enjoy venting their spleens on any thread with Senator Clinton's name on it.
She'll say/do anything to get elected! they shout, and NEVER offer one single example to support this MYTH.
Blind hatred and bigotry are usually evident to all but the guilty party, so in no way do I expect any of them to change here, but some of what I have read here makes me ashamed for them, as are any other rational, intelligent people, I am sure.

The real,
Van

All she's really saying is :

Don't have health care? No problem ! Your fellow Americans will now pay for YOUR health care because I'll be raising taxes to make that happen for you!

Memo to Hillary:

I'm still waiting to hear WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED in office that qualifies you for the Presidency. Please tell us.

I Beleive What CLINTON SAID About Health Care-Bush Has Done NOTHING TO HELP SENIORS Buying Drugs-How Many Of Us Has Hit THE DONUT HOLE With In A FEW Mo. After JAN 1 And Started To Pay FULL PRICE For Them Even Though I Pay KAISER $200 A Mo. For Heath And Drugs By June Of This Year The Gov Will NOT Allow Them To Sell Me Drugs At The $15 A Drug Like I Should Be Doing-If It Was Not For WALLMART I Would Be Paying$500-$600 Instead OF $120 Like I Could Of If BUSH HAD NOT PUT IN A NEW LAW Forcing Me To Pay FULL PRICE NOW! Those Of You Just Retireing Check On The DOUNUT HOLE AS It It Called By ALL DRUGESTS

Where does she find all this time to campaign? Doesn't she have a job to do in New York? I'm sure the New Yorkers are excited about having interns run the business while she's out "running for president". Seems to me she should prove she's a great Senator first, before thinking she'd make an even better President.

QUOTE: "Not only have I said it and am saying it, I will keep saying it because I happen to believe it."As we've seen.. just because they keep saying it, over and over again.. doesn't mean they truly and honestly BELIEVE it (DOMA, remember?).What never ceases to amaze me is how stupid the Clintons must think Americans are – how they can't remember any further than yesterday, how they have no ability to think for themselves – CLINTONS – WE REMEMBER YOU.. and because *I* remember you.. I won't be voting for you, regardless of what party, job, position you run for. PERIOD. We're not all "so 5 minutes ago".

WOO HOO!! GO HILLARY!! AND KEEP IT COMIN! SPEW MORE OF YOUR VERBAL DIATRIBE! MORE MORE MORE! PUKE IT ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND AS YOU DO, BE SURE TO HANG ON TIGHTLY TO THE SHOVEL, CUZ YER DIGGIN YER OWN GRAVE.

NEXT TO YOU HILLARY, CANDIDATE LOOKS GOOD!

Chip of Celina OH
Of all the judgemental things to say…
While I agree that having children out of wedlock is not a good idea, the fact is that it happens everyday and the resulting children must receive care. The single parent must work to get money and healthcare, and the child must be cared for in the meantime. If the parent cannot afford childcare, how is he or she supposed to work?
For a party that claims to value all life, you seem content to punish the son (or daughter) for the sins of the father (or mother).
Also I'm offended by your suggestion that being a single parent is the fault of the parent. I was raised in a single parent household because my father unexpectedly died when I was young.

Thought. Instead of making all of those promises, "when I'm President of the U.S.", why not go for it now. You have a Democratic Congress and Senate. Take your best shot. Show us what you're made of. Universal Health Care by Election time, and I'll vote for you Hillary. Simply put, there is nothing she can accomplish as President that she can't accomplish right now.

Be Careful Here: Maybe Hillary knows something the rest of us DON'T. namely, that Georgie-Boy WILL run for a 3rd term as president–he's broken so many laws and ignored the Constitution and Rule of Law, he'll steamroll the 2-term limit (with another of his *signing papers*) and RUN FOR OFFICE/PRESIDENT AGAIN for a 3rd term!! Watch out America!! The nightmare may NOT BE OVER!! In which case, Hillary Clinton may be OUR ONLY HOPE OF ENDING "HELL UNDER BUSH II"!!!

IF she wants to attack bush why can't he attack her.

I do not have much faith in the integrity of individuals who achieve the heights of power needed to attain the presidency. That said, I am quite sure that all of the candidates are corrupt. The question is simply which corrupt individual will serve our needs best. I have never allied myself with a particular party, but I find it difficult to vote Republican after seeing the failure of the current administration. Bill's presidency, however, will be remembered as a success. Seeing how his wife is a candidate – and that they share many beliefs – I think it is foolish to not vote for her.

Hilary Clinton obviously doesnt know what shes talking about. If President Bush thought the soldiers were invisible then why would he even bother with having meetings and stuff like that about the soldiers being in Iraq thats all I've heard about in a while so how could they possibly invisible. And now my grandpa can actually afford his medications now. I hope everyone else knows how bad Hilary would be for our country.

HillDog is making a partisan point, and scoring points. Even thought the White House is getting involved to defend itself, it really is just fanning the flames here. The White House needs to stay out of the Democratic 2008 Primary contest. And HillDog needs to mind her rhetoric if she really intends to win the Democratic primary, cause regardless of what she or the Dems deem the truth, she needs to win over independents, and probably some Republicans to be president. Imagine though: President HillDog, it's pretty catchy, I guess.

"Being a mother of two and not married yet to their father, we are currently living on one income because it dosen't work out financially to put my children into day care…."

So, you're gonna vote for the person that will take my money out of my pocket to pay for what you've chosen to do?

I empathize with your situation, we struggle sometimes to make the bills and have a few bucks left over but never expected anyone else to pay our way. My wife stayed home with our kids because we thought we should raise them and instill our values into them and not pay someone else to. That's one reason you have kids.

Its so outrageous that some of these right wing wacos are blaming Hillary on her campaign speeches. Hillary in her speech has blamed Bush's policies (not Bush personally)and to those hopefuls who still support him. Look at Bush's records: 1)Erasing Clinton's surplus 2)Attacking a sovereign country unilaterally who never attcked us 3)Falsely telling american people that Saddam has a link to 9/11 4)Spending 1 trillion taxpayers money on endless war which benefitted comapnies like Exxon, Haliburton (Cheney connection) 5)disregard constitution 6)illegal wiretapping 7)mismanagement in Katrina like disasters 8)politicizing justice dept. by appointing lawyers from 3rd grade schools 9)using executive priviledge to pardon Libby (who exposed CIA operatives)in order to protect Cheney and Rove 10)making a big mess in health care which is benefitting insurance and pharmaceutical cos. big (seniors still buy from Canada)11)allowing power companies to pollute by saying that global warming is hoax 12)non funding stem cell research on the pretext of religion and faith while not caring for thousand innocents who die on this useless war 13) creating fear amongst americans in the name of terror and on and on…….
Can these idiots come up with one achievement of Bush's 7 years in power? Hillary has atleast tried to bring in universal care for all the americans, but these wacos haunted her all along. Yes Clinton lied under oath! But, that is to protect his family from personal ebarassment. But, this administration has lied to american people and literally squandered trillions of taxpayers money, and precious lives. If that money had spent on american people, there would not be 42 million uninsured, and millions of homeless due to Katrina like disasters. If you don't admit that these policies were wrong, go ahead and rubber stamp another republican who still supports Bush's policies.

Why do so many people assume it's the government's responsiblity to handle child/day care or health care? This country is being suffocated by those who do not understand the difference between and right and and entitlement. You do have a right to health care, but you are not entitled to get it free. Everything costs money. Someone must pay for it. Pay for yours and I will pay for mine.

-Be sure to send your Social Security Check to me then…

If the middle class and lower class are so invisible to this current administration, how come there have been more first time homeowners then by any other president in recent history?

-SUB-PRIME Loans

JUST ONE MORE REMINDER. . . .Hillary voted for the war. . . .the public approval to go to war was in the 80%'s. . . . and I am sure someone will say we had bad info. You are right, we ALL had bad info. It is really easy being a Monday morning quarterback. Oh ya, and Bush is an awful President. Move on! This is a new election. There will not be a Bush running. Just as Carter didn't represent ALL democrats, Bush does not represent all "R"'s. God we need a thrid party! Or better yet, let's remove all labels (no R's or D's next to someone's name)and force people to listen to the positions on issues. It has become almost like a sporting event. . . if your team isn't in power make sure the team in power fails so, next time you will be in power. Messed up politcal system!!!

I love Hillary, and I think her comments are right on the money! By far, she is the best canidate. I believe she will pull it off in 08.

"I would not vote for anyone that would ridicule a current president."

Posted By Sally Phillips Santa Ana CA : August 15, 2007 3:35 pm

Sally,

What planet do you live on? Have you ever lived through a U.S. political season? That's the way it is–always–no matter which party is in power.

I am surprised Hillary thinks she can win, I am a really good judge of character and I really dont like her, she eminates smugness. Just makes my skin crawl. And I am really starting to like Joe Biden-my gut reaction to him was very strong. But I need to do some more research yet.I kinda like Obama but I think he's missing something-havent put my finger on it yet.I also like John Edwards-i think its between him and Joe Biden in the democratic arena-i hope one of them gets the nod but doesnt seem like that will happen, who knows.

TOM – thank you. You are so right on. If Hillary is the nominee we can be assured of having a Republican President – it is that simple.

It really makes me sad to see so many people making negative comments about Bush stealing oil or Clinton being a lying sneak. I know this is just a comment section, but maybe people on both sides should just realize that saying it don't make it so, no matter what political stripe you are.

I think when America goes to the polls in 2008 we are going to think about what this nations government accomplished during the last 8 unnerving years. We are going to seek a person who as President has the entire nations interest at heart. We are going to want a person who is a unititer not a divider, one who is intersted in the fact 47 million are withtout heathcare insurance in the most wealthy country on this earth. We are looking for intellect not stupidity and stubbornness. After all those things enter our minds we will make the right choice, Hillary R. Clinton.

"Some people have selective memory when it comes to Bill Clinton's health care failure – he tried, but was defeated by the Repubilcan controlled Congress, who scared everyone into believing his plan was socialized medicine when it was not. Hillary's only failure on the health care issue was underestimating the republican political machine against allowing anything to happen in the Clinton administration that would arguably be good for the country – all they wanted to do was stop anything good he wanted to do or else the republicans wouldn't have a chance regaining the white house."

Well, the Republicans also pushed (or should I say forced) the much needed welfare reform and tax breaks that Billary gets so much credit for in the 90's.

Van NY, NY:

A) Who are you quoting anyway? I never said a thing about the stock market during the Clinton years, re-read my post genius. Sounds like you're full of hot air to me.

B) How often was Walter Reid being used during the Clinton years? How many soldiers were treated there? One of the main problems with the VA hospitala is that there are too many patients and not enough staff or funding to take care of them.

If you're the commander in chief and you're going to start a war and fill the VA hospitals to capacity and beyond with wounded soldiers, shouldn't you at least make sure the treatment they are getting is up to Par?

This president is a complete failure (much like he was as a businessman).

Oh, please, everybody calm down… the campaigning has just started. George better get a thicker skin if that little poke bothered him that much. As to you Hillary haters… everybody will be slamming bush in the comming months. GET A CLUE!

Invisibility is in the eye of the office holder. Tunnel vision, myopia and blinders are far more likely than plain old garden variety blindness. May have something to do with motes and beams. Clinton parsing, Bush Sr's lip reading and Bushlite's fine print are killing us. Literally. We are NOT INVISIBLE. You just aren't looking.

I will totally agree with Senator Clinton. I suffer from both Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Type 1 Diabetes and cannot get any aid because my wife makes a little over the income limit as a Public School Teacher despite my huge out of pocket medical expenses. I soon will be not covered by health insurance and unable to afford to see my doctors and afford my medications. I did not have this trouble getting the health care I needed when Bill Clinton was in office. It is very disheartening that I am only one of many in the same positition with insufficient healthcare while our country fuels war around the world. Looking around the world it appears that our economy, healthcare, and support around the world is weakening. Thank you Senator Clinton for being so diligent in your efforts to push the issues that really matter here in America and thank you for looking out for the less fortunate.

Why is Mrs. Cinton taking this route, if I remember correctly she and President Clinton happen to be one of the biggest liars and thieves to come out of the White House.

"Striking a nerve" and simply saying something that is baseless and stupid are two very different things.

I sure hope Billary wins the democratic nomination as that will ensure a Republican victory.

Senator Clinton is very good at pointing fingers at others, while not defending her own positions. I would not vote for anyone that would ridicule a current president. Where is US loyalty?

hillary is doing what she does best get attention away from all the evil, and sorry things her and bill have done all these years.And what to keep doing the the american people. I for one can not believe anyone in there right mind could vote for her or bill!!!!!!!!!!!

VanReuter NYNY makes an excellent point. The stench of sexism, chauvinism, and yes, even misogyny is overwhelming in so many of these comments. Guys, it was just a campaign ad. So tired of whiny white males both inside and outside the White House. Is it 2008 yet?

Some people have selective memory when it comes to Bill Clinton's health care failure – he tried, but was defeated by the Repubilcan controlled Congress, who scared everyone into believing his plan was socialized medicine when it was not. Hillary's only failure on the health care issue was underestimating the republican political machine against allowing anything to happen in the Clinton administration that would arguably be good for the country – all they wanted to do was stop anything good he wanted to do or else the republicans wouldn't have a chance regaining the white house.

This is like the NBA finals. Wake me up when it's down to two. Until then, WHO CARES WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT. Paris Hilton could have said what Hilary is spouting right now for all the good it will do.

Ooooo. Gas up the planes and bring our boys home, Hillary just solved our Iraq problem.

Obama wrote another book. The J.K. Rawlings of canidates is doing a book reading on Oprah.

Whatever. Forget drugs. Cure something already. WAIT. That means we actually have to stop shoving money into the drug market and find a solution. Mmmm.

What happened to Universal healthcare. Oh yeah, it's attention is on immigration issues because WE don't know how to do what the rest of the world is doing for their population.

Yeah. Wow. I'm really interested in a bunch of racers at the beginning of the presidential marathon.

I'm just waiting to see who can run the fastest with their foot in their mouth.

I just wanted to comment on President Bush helping senior citizens with their prescription drugs. Isn't a family with children struggling to find affordable health care just as important as our senior citizens?

My thoughs exacly. bush PLEASE JUST GO AWAY. GO BACK TO THAT PLACE U CALL A RANCH AND STAY THERE.

She "happens to believe it": Well, she's so accustomed to "believing" lies in her own life that she can "believe" just about anything! She's pathetic.

Well…He is a senior about to retire so of course he would care about that. But until he has ovaries or a son or daughter in the military, he has no reason to pay attention. Big business is making a killing ignoring the problem. The White House will hail Bush as a saint in closing months. He'll leave a mess it will take two terms to clean up and a lifetime to forget. Meanwhile, kids are using more prescription drugs to get high than the old people who buy them. Good looking out Bush. Go Hilary.

When will we see agendas and plans for America. Instead of He said she said. This is the type of Campaigen the Clintons want. They want people to feel sorry for hillary becaus she's a woman. that way she doesnt have to talk about her "inexperience" and talk about her "blackness" to anyone. Honestly I think we are in deep trouble if she's elected because there is no substance to her way of change for America. How can you say your gonna bring change when all you talk about is Bill and what you guys did during the 90's? She points out the obvious things and people say she's so strong and she's so experienced, please the only reason she's a NY senator is because of her husband!

Does anybody else remember when Bill Clinton ran for President the first go-round? Hilary held a forum on "health care for everyone" while campaigning for her husband. I really believed that the Clintons could be good for our country, especially if they actually did what they said they would do. However, once he was elected and she became First Lady not another word was heard from them regarding health care for ANYone, much less EVERYone. America, let's not fall for her rhetoric again. Don't be stupid and waste a good vote for this self-serving, lying, evil woman.

She is correct. The Clinton years were good for all. President Bush doe snot care about very much as we can all see by how things look in every aspect of our country. It is time to bring the Clinton years back.

CNN has become FOX. How can they "CNN" call this "absurd" and "outrageous"??? Clinton is completely accurate here. CNN needs to explain where she is off base as opposed to defending this pathetic Bush admin. Shame on CNN and their Republican bias!!!!!

Finally a democrat who has the spine to go toe to toe with republican political attack machines. Give 'emm hell Hillary!! You go girl!!

Hillary is right about our invisibility. Selectively criticizing the Clintons juxtaposed with Bush takes hypocrisy to a new level. Both sides are flawed, but one side is off the scale.

I wish we could elect a third party into power, but in this “democracy” that is throwing away your vote. I will vote for whichever democrat is nominated in hopes getting us as far away from the policies of the last seven years as possible.

As long as money controls a candidate’s electability, and corporate interests control the influence over government, all we get is a token voice each election cycle while our government and liberties deteriorate. Remember: Bush ignores public opinion.

Ms. Clinton has struck a nerve, indeed. Bush is pathetic, a liar, and self-centered, bull-headed something or other!

Sam in Colorado

It's interesting how those who hate Bush are prone to use name calling (Georgey boy – obviously intended to depict him as an idiotic hick) and those who support him stick with the facts when discussing his opponents. That's all I need to read whenever I try to examine if I am supporting the right values. Bush is not perfect – nobody is. His intentions – I believe – are far more nobel than Hillary's. Do you supporters of HC know – she doesn't think you're smart enough to spend your own money? What she says when she's trying to win votes doen't necessarily add up to how she feels.

ALL OUR POLITICIANS ARE PUPPETS OF A GROWING INTERNATIONAL CORPORATE MAFIA. Just as we our threatened by terroist organizations rather than by a country, the world is increasingly being dominated by global corporate mafia. Bush's drug plan was about what was good for drug companies, not what was good for us. Hillary is also bought up. They must all appease the beast. Meanwhile, fat and lazy, we sit back and watch Reality TV and lap up corporate media "infotainment." We have a sanitized education system that discourages creativity or innovation and encourages blindly following. Global corporate mafia runs the world.

Perino proved Clintons point on healthcare by saying that the bush administration "helped millions of seniors across the country" what about the non-seniors… we too need healthcare reform but sadly we are getting left behind!

Hillary was more than correct. The truth hurts doesn't?

Jacque – Dallas Texas, Bush can't run for a 3rd term

Maybe the White House should ask a broader range of seniors about how they feel about the prescription drug program.

Way to good Senator Clinton!

If the middle class and lower class are so invisible to this current administration, how come there have been more first time homeowners then by any other president in recent history? Didn't the middle class and lower class get bigger tax refunds/credits then from the prior administration? You liberals need to pay more attention to the facts then to all the liberal media outlets. Prior administration's two main issues were healthcare and social security, they improved neither. At least the current administration has made an effort. The only thing Clinton was good at was weakening our military and taking credit for the economy, which was already fixed by the time he took office, and back to recession by the time he left!!

"Also commenting on the Military, Bush has been trying to rebuild the military the Bill dismantled during his eight years, if Bill never had such a major cut back on military during his eight years, we probably would not be so short handed right now.

David – I think you need to look at your facts. The Air Force is cutting 80,000 by 2009. I should know.

Hillary Clinton knows what it's like to be attacked, she just did the same thing to President Bush.
Yes, he has had a very volatile presidency. For her to say that our sons and daughters are invisible would be to say that she is oblivious to their existance as well. Bush doesn't run this country by himself, he has help,whether good or bad decisions made, he does have Senators and Congress persons out there putting in their two cents worth everyday.
As far as Hillary for president, HA !
My vote will go to someone else.
I still would like to have answers about Vince Foster and the White Water Scandal. Many questions were left unanswered when the Clintons were in the White House. The last thing we need in the US is another one in there again !

You go girl!! If an ad has struck a chord with this do-nothing White House, then play it again and again.

I wish she was invisible

What could be more truthful or characteristic of this administration than Hillary's statement? If you are not wealthy or well-connected you don't matter when they make decisions – only when they hustle for excuses or votes.

As for the Medicare D initiative, even the most respected financial journals have noted how it was fraudulently sold to Congress as costing hundreds of billions less than the administration's own estimates – how tax-funded ads were sold to the public as legitimate news releases — how it will actually help the non-wealthy less and the drug companies more than advertised.

As an active duty troop may i just say, 'Brava, Mrs. Clinton'

Hillary…I'm SO PROUD OF YOU…Standing up to those vicious, barking dog-like animals attacking you with cheap, cheap, cheap rhetoric…THAT TAKES GUTS AND BACKBONE…exactly what the next great American president needs.

Hillary is an idiot.

I am not American; therefore cannot vote.

I find it obsessively desperate of how is it possible for your nation to know so little of the 1407 years of Islamic history, and why Imamate Muslims and Caliphate ones are eternal enemies of one another, and why they can collaborate fully when confronted by a common intruder.

"I feel that since Bush became president we've had more troops die in Iraq since they've been sent over there."

Thank you for this intelligent synopsis Tasha! You will do well being in Hillary's corner.

We are invisible to this Administration and the Federal Govt as a whole because we as Americans have let this happen. We have been paying more attention to pundits & polls and not standing up and demanding answers. The spirit of the great socail movements of the past have been systematically destroyed by the right-wing and the liberals pols have sat by letting all the hard work of the social leaders of the 60s-70s to go for not just to seem more moderate and pander to socially-moderate conservatives. We have to stand up, get in the streets and demand accountablity to our votes…WE ARE ALL AT FAULT

You want to talk about invisable – I guess Bin Ladden was invisable to Clinton. So that is why 911 happened. If Hillary kept her husband out of woman's bed and impeachment he could of focused on Bin Ladden which is his job to do !!!!!!!! Clinton equals 911

They're mad cause she's right.

I am not a huge fan of Hilary, but she has a point. If the president's biggest victory is the "affordable" rx coverage, then the White House should be ashamed. Ask seniors in the Medicare D donut hole how "affordable" their medication is. How does Medicare D help seniors when the drug companies do not have to negotiate price? How does Medicare D help seniors when drug companies don’t help Medicare recipients through manufacturing programs? And, how are seniors being helped when many of the drug companies provide less free samples in the doctor's offices? The only people that aren’t invisible to the White House are those in big business.

If you are an average American with commonsense, you are invisible to this Administration.

It's funny Hillary would make such a comment about health care, beings one of her husband's main issues was healhcare his eight years in office and he did absolutely nothing to fix it. Also commenting on the Military, Bush has been trying to rebuild the military the Bill dismantled during his eight years, if Bill never had such a major cut back on military during his eight years, we probably would not be so short handed right now.

Clinton is just like her husband, she will keep everything off the real issues by making headlines, God Bless Our President, Our Congress and Our Troops, I was in Iraq when the senator visited, the cold shoulder and big me little you was very large coming from Clinton, just like she treated staff and military when she was first lady…the troops know the truth and she will pay come the election IF she gets that far.

Our president is a disgrace. An arrogant, idiot drunk with power. I want my country back….
Paying billions to secure our borders from terrorists and letting the Mexican border bleed with illegal immigrants. Its rediculous. And then there is the crime rates. We need new leadership with integrity and passion to save our society and our culture.

I'm surprised that no one has brought up the fact that President Bush is not running again. It's sorta a moot point to campaign against him. Should Hilary and every other presidential hopeful not be running against each other and letting us know what they can do better for us then the rest?
I for one am tired of hearing about all thats being done wrong by others, for God's sake someone tell me what it is you can do better??
Most if not all politicians are the same, out for themselves. There will never be a politician that can appease everyone all the time.

HILLARY CLINTON ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

BUSH'S AMERIKKKA IS SPINNING IN THE TOILET AND REPUBLICANS ARE DIZZY LOOKING AT THE WATER SPINNING BUT FAIL TO STOP THE IDIOT PRESIDENT FROM CAUSING SUCH HARM TO OUR NATION.

HILLARY ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

I am disabled, and on Medicare and have struggled with health care issues for years. Guess what Hillary? I, like most of America, am as invisible to you as we are to this administration. You had eight years as a "co-president" to show us how visable we are, to no avail. Suddenly you need us again and you are "one of us". Give me a huge break. The entire problem with this country is that we, the people, (your bosses), are entirely invisible to everyone in Washington, and that has to change. Hopefully, prior to the 2008 election, we, the people, will figure that out, and every single Washington insider, like yourself, will be rooted out in favor of someone who truly understands that they work for the citizens of this country.
If not, we will remain – forever – invisible.

Hillary should be the last to talk about health care. We were to have national health care 6 months after her husband took office the first time. That's why I voted for him the first time not the second when nothing happened!

Melody Smith, Layton, UT get a grip. You people act like Bill Clinton is the first politician to have have "sex on the side". Republicans are like lemmings. They just follow along blindly. It's amazing how you people can ignore what a banged up job W has done over the last eight years.

I have disagreed with the mamoth spending this Administration has signed into the "give away" or "wealth distribution" programs. He has funded everything while fighting a WAR. She must be so insensitive to anyone outside her desires see can not see the focus and concern expressed by anyone.

I am a 50 year old american with Lupus for over 15 years now. It was not untill President Bush's time was I able for the first time to take the medications that save and or prolong my life. I support my president, and am sorry to see his time end, as for any more Clintons in the White House? No way, I find it embarssing that the family that made our White House Staff a world wide joke would even think to run for president is absurb to say the least. The fact that Hillary is with Bill still is enough to question everything about her.

Senator Clinon is a woman I strongly admire. She is the ONLY candidate to speak honestly about the way she sees our country and how she hopes to change it as President. Many of you who have commented below sound scared that a woman has taken a stronger stance on vital issues in our nation that any other candidate in recent history. Vote for Hilary for a better country!!!

If you live and breathe you pay healthcare. What is wrong with that idea? You don't like it…..move. It's that simple.

I can't believe that so many of you really want this mean spirited, Wellesley graduate to lead our country. A woman might make a good president someday….but most certainly NOT THIS one. She most definitely does not have the qualities of a leader that is going to bring together this divided country of ours, when just the mere sight of her or mention of her name makes so many (me included) cringe. Just look at what has come of her very first campaign add. And there will be more to follow? Yeesh. Lord help us all.

First of all thank you Sen. Clinton for not being afraid to tell the truth about this administration. Dana Perino just another example of a corrupt, deceptive, manipulative and over all border line criminal administration. That is far past it’s time to be impeached and any one who voted them in to office should be kicking them selves, if there not then I only hope evolution takes care of you.

Being a mother of two and not married yet to their father, we are currently living on one income because it dosen't work out financially to put my children into day care. If I do go back to work, which we desperately need, I will only be bringing home 20% of my income due to the fact that the rest goes to daycare. I sincerely hope that there will be some resolution to this evergrowing problem for the families that need 2 incomes to survive, no matter who is in office. But I feel grateful for Hillary's notice of the problem and finally feel noticed.

Typical Hilary – misleading diatribe. But remember, first she voted for the war before she voted against it. Yeah, she is a real troop supporter.

Send her to Iraq with all those troops she "supports". See how long it takes for friendly fire to take care of the problem.

Hillary gets so much press on your website — does CNN stand for the Clinton News Network?

Clinton's campaign (and those of the other Democratic candidates) is based solely on bashing the current administration. She does not present fresh ideas for running the country nor does she explain to the public why she is better than her competitors.

If there was one thing that was "invisible" in Washington, I wish it was Hillary.

Go see SICKO and you'll realize and the Bush administration would realize that Hillary is treating people just as "invisible" as the current President. She has been bought and is now just full of presidential LIES

Hey Joe in DC you State Bush is just wanting to send our troops of to war. You forget 9-11. WE THE UNITED STATES WERE ATTACKED. Maybe you believe in being a wuss (like the Clintons) and just let terrorist do what ever they want.

The US is invisible and it has always been that way for me and I am due for eligibility as working-class senior citizenship and all administrations have ignored the middle for many administrations.

Not just one administration! I do not recall any type of health care my entire life! I believe, as Hillary Clinton so aptly stated, that we, the poor, working-class and the elderly have been pushed aside by this administration. We ARE invisible to them and that's the way they want it. Do you really believe things will change just because our administration is about change hands?

What makes her think she will see any clearer then her husband did???

I totaly agree with Clinton. This administration has got it's head up it's butt over Iraq and can't get anything else done.Nor does it want to.
this administration can't be gone soon enough for me. I wonder how many of U.S. feel this way.

For people to say that the government should be paying for everyone's healthcare charges is LUDICROUS. Where would that money come from? US MIDDLE CLASS who always gets screwed over by the TAX AND SPEND Dems! No thanks! I'm middle class, and a PROUD REPUBLICAN because the Republican party has this crazy idea that you can actually work hard and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Gee, what a concept! You dems want us middle class hard working Americans to pay for your laziness! NO THANKS. HILLARY WILL NEVER CARRY THE SOUTH OR THE MIDWEST. Not gonna happen. A liberal isn't going to carry either of those parts of the nation! No way, no how. And most men can't stand her. She's a pathetic man wannabe – or have we even established what gender she is yet?

I have lived in Europe for a while and im now in the US,what makes America great iit its system,it will be a mistake for America to move to the left or elect a liberal.Europe is begining to realise the failure of its system and the loss of values.

that's funny! this administration actually said it cared about the troops!!!! that has got to be the funniest thing i have ever heard. NEWS FLASH!!! if you care about them then stop killing them for special interest gain!!! this administration treats them as pawns!!!

I am a lifelong Democrat. If Hillary Clinton wins the primary, my vote will go to another party. During debates, when she says "I thank you and your family for your sacrifice" in regards to U.S. Troops it just comes off as really fake to me. Her campaign jumps on idiotic tangents that don't serve her campaign or her country well. She is a political robot, and a bad one at that. I don't know who has been doing the polling that puts her ahead of Obama, but I have several friends who are Democrats and not one likes her even as a Senator.

Hillary is a big liar and loves to twist the truth just like Bill. From what I have heard when Bill was President the troops didn't even want to see Bill the had to be ordered to come out if he came to any military post. I think the Clintons past speak for itself they are pathological liars

BRAVO, Hillary!

Hillary is correct. This president is the most inept leader I've ever seen. The prescription drug plan for seniors is a joke written by lobbyists for insurance companies. If he truly wanted to help seniors & all Americans he would push for "Universal Health Care" as each & every other industrialized country offers at a much lower per capita cost than the current "managed care" system that we have that is run by the insurance companies.

I don't care if a white male, female, or Black American candidate made like statements, I would support them fully. It is nice to be acknowledged by political leaders for the first time in 8 years.

It comes as no shock to me that the White House has come down hard on Hillary for stating facts about the Bush administration. I am middle class America. I am struggling financially; her video resonated with me.

She speaks the truth and the Bush administration calls it ridiculous–how shocking!

If these people have been invisible to this president what in God's name has Hillary been doing in the Senate for the past seven years to make them noticed???????

Will it make a difference if she's president??????/

I think it is funny that the spokesperson pretty much agreed with Clinton on the childcare and child health care issue by choising to say, "Well we helped the seniors!" and not even attempting to explain anything Bush has done in the realm of children's issues… oh yeah, it is because he hasn't done anything!

Hilary's just telling it like it is. If that wet-brain in the White House cared about the troops, there wouldn't have been a Walter Reed debacle (which wasn't addressed until it hit the press). Nor would he have put them in harm's way in a war of choice.

And just TRY being a veteran trying to get timely health care at the VAMC. Not to mention mandatory funding for the VA hospitals.

Bush (in a debate) said Jesus changed his heart. Too bad HE didn't change the dummy's thinking! Sobriety isn't just stopped drinking. It's also changed thinking. George is the very definition of a dry drunk!

The people that keep ragging on the Clintons do not seem to realize that Bill was just trying to clean up the big mess made by Reagan (dead from the neck up for many years) and Bush senior who should have had a vasectomy before he could produce offspring.

Dear Hillary,
I am a father of three. I am divorced and I have visitation rights. What does it say to you when I am paying full child support, childcare, health insurance, along with about $7,000 a year for traveling costs for my children when my ex-wife sits at home and gets pregnant out of wedlock, and other divorced single fathers tell me, "You got lucky". How about trying to help the single father. Anybody that wants to solve one of the most slanted, prejudiced, and civil inequalities that faces this country today, regardless of race, color, or any other difference, I'd vote for him or her hands down. But, then again, I'm just a "deadbeat dad" lashing out, right, Ms. Clinton?

HA!! Funny Im not a fan of Hilary, I have been supporting Obama. But I have to say I TOTALLY agree with what she is saying. To all of you people that are poo pooing her comments, how many of you have to pay for health insurance out of their own pocket???

One word: Katrina.

I am apt to agree with the Ad because it became clear to me that day just how disconnected the president was the reality and needs of the American people

Billary, hear we go again. Universal health care or socialized medicine both one in the same is a colossial failure in France, Germany, GB and now a bankrupt Canada health care system. I am a Gulf War Vet, the Clintons could careless about the military which was proved by Bill when he shut down the military bases and cut all the dependent wives and childrens benefits thru the military. I am sick of all these politicians trying to sell themselves as caring for the middle class, what a joke Hilary is now.

I am so tired of people saying that Hillary "will say or do anything to get into the White House." She doesn't say or do anything more than any other politician running for office. WEAK ARGUMENT!

"White House spokeswoman Dana Perino sharply fired back to the Clinton's allegations Tuesday in a press conference,…"

No doubt asked by a member of the White House Press Corps, then when the question is answered it becomes a comment that is "sharply fired back".

Then, Hillary in a the 'look at me, look at me' mode says: " Apparently I've struck a nerve, the White House just attacked me a few minutes ago,"

Yeah, they could've probably cared less but just answered a question by the press. It was a setup and was spun to look like good 'ol Hill has 'em on the run.

Please.

What is really scary is that Bush and his administration really do believe they are supporting the middle class while most of what he supports does exactly the opposite. Bush, etal. don't want to hear dissent on anything that is critical of their paradigm. As for the RNC going after Clinton about the Iraq vote. Let's talk withholding information and inflating half-truths and lies. As for some of you who fault her for attacking the president on her policies, hmm, let's discuss all the tactics Rove has used in Bush's campaigns with the Shrub's approval like push polling (for those of you who don't understand, that's where you ask a questions such as Would you vote for Ann Richards knowing her advisors are all lesbians). Don't act like Bush, etal. is totally innocent and above board because they aren't.

one word………."WHITEWATER"…..NUFF SAID?

Get 'em, Hillary! You are so right! Our current administration hasn't lost touch — they never had it in the first place.

It is demoralizing and disrespectful for Clinton to say that the troops and the people in the USA are invisible to Bush. Some might not like Bush, but it is far from the truth that he is not seeing what needs to be done. Bush might not be perfect,but Clinton, and those that work for her, are iditots.

Boy I cant wait to stand in line for 8 hours for the new Clinton healthcare plan. Maybe it will only take 6 weeks to get an x-ray.

I hope and pray with all I have that we won't suffer another Clinton Administration. I would rather be in Iraq fightning the war with a Presiden that see me as "invisible" than American with Hillary Clinton in office. I don't believe that President Bush sees anyone as invisible, he's only one man though.

SOMEONE LIKE J.F.K. WOULD HAVE QUESTIONED WHY SOMEONE WHO CANT AFFORD HEALTH CARE GETS PREGNANT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN TROUBLE WHEN YOU HAVE TO "BRIBE" THE PUBLIC FOR VOTE'S!!
SORRY HILLARY ,SORRY OBAMA,THEY'LL BE NO WOMEN NOR BLACKS IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN MY LIFETIME!!

The Clinton ad campaign is speaking to the majority of Americans who live with the worries of paying for health care or adequate child care.
The current president has repeatedly shown that he is not concerned with either of these issues but would rather feather the beds of insurance and oil companies.
The current president has a disgraceful record when regarding social and human issues.

Yeah Bush is a bad president. Anyone who hasnt been in a coma for the last few years knows this.

So how are you going to fix it? In Jan 2008 when Bush is gone, and were still stuck with the same situation, are you going to keep complaining about Bush? If god forbid the job becomes yours you cant just blame the previous administration. Cmon Hill, if you want to sway me, give me a reason other than heres what Bush did. Those who dont have anything positive to say will sling mud. Those who actually have a plan dont..

Who does this broad think she is? I had a little respect for her with the disgrace that her husband put her through, but to claim that our troops are invisible to thi President? That is ABSURB! when was the last time she was in IRAQ or anywhere close to where our troops are stationed?! Come on, Clinton! Get your act together if you want to be a serious Presidental candidate!

It amazes me how everyone has a comment about something they know nothing about. So here's my shot:

I certainly would not want to deal with all the things President Bush has on his plate and still be expected to make decisions in our best interest. It is easy for people outside of his office to call the shots when they either have no clue what's going on or have a narrow view. The office of President isn't to make decisions that everyone approves of. President Bush has had to make some difficult and unpopular decisions. While he hasn't necessarily made all the best decisions according to the polls, at least he made them and stuck by them, good and bad.

Senator Clinton isn't perfect either and I disagree with her recent ignorant comments about our President and military.I am a Reserve Navy Petty Officer, proudly serving my country and do NOT feel invisible or unseen by my Commander In Chief. I do feel overlooked by our presidential hopefulls.

People need to get out of their seats and actually do some research about what is going on in the world now as well as historically. Stop believing what people and media say and start looking at the truth.

Lastly, do not forget to pray for all our leaders and military. Prayer is not a dirty word and we all can benefit from something positive for a change.

What's the fuss about? Of course she thinks W. has been bad on health care and the military. So do many others. Just ask the soliders at Walter Reed.

Did you catch this?
"I am not American. I cannot vote. But I can observe. What did Ms Rodham Clinton say? "I want America to distribute some basic necessities on a universal basis". Well, what is wrong with that? Most of the rest of the world already does it! And without any money!"
This is it folks! This is where the maniacs want us to go…"without any money." Of course it takes money, you imbecile. I hope you don't become a citizen, because you don't have the brains to vote! This is preposterous. Just think – many Americans would probably agree with this idiot – no money. Right. Any Hillary wouldn't have to raise taxes to unprecedented levels. Right. Go back to wherever it was you were entertaining yourself before you got here.

It's always easy to make others look bad to make yourself look good. Does Clinton's ad say what she would do? Regardless, campaign promises are just that…promises. Most never materialize, so why bother believing them.

Yes, Hillary! We know. Please stop stating the blazingly obvious and start telling us what you are capable of doing to solve these problems. Everybody knows how to sling mud and attack the opposition; we need problem solvers, not problem re-hashers.

I love how all the conservatives leaving comments do NOTHING but attack Mrs. Clinton and provide no support for the President on this issue. That is because they cannot point to one program or any single piece of legislation this President and his staff have furthered to help the working poor and our soldiers (who should also be classified as working poor because President Bush DENIED them an increase in salary that they and their families so desperately need). So go ahead and Bash Hillary, it simply shows that you have no other argument to stand on and that you and the entire conservative movement is out of ideas. At least all the brilliant ideas that have gotten us to this point — lame economy, domestic spying on you and your family, and endless/useless war, diminished credibility overseas, massive deficits, and we now owe our souls to China now. Thanks President Bush!

Do we really need or want "4″ more years of Clinton's B***S***. Clinton's Lies, Clinton's messed-up personal lives.

It is becoming a trend to bash Clintons on whatever public comments Bill and Hillary make in their campaigns. This seems to be a GOP strategy. Hillary is not the ideal candidate for presidency. But, amongst all the bunch, she is the best. These idiots who comment and bash Bill, just step out of the US and talk to any foreigner in Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia, and you will find that they just love Bill and Hillary. On the contrary, they ask us how stupid you are to elect Bush 2 times? That itself shows that if Hillary becomes a president, Bill can be a ambassador who has the ability to solve major conflicts including an Iraq mess that Bush has created.

I really want someone to tell me why people hate hillary so much. Whats worng with helping and caring about the poor? Oh I forgot you rebuplicans only claim religion when its toward gay marriage or abortion. Can you really believe this president has helped the middle class? Do you believe he cares about the troops cause he visited them? THAT IS WHAT A PRESIDENT IS SUPPOSE TO DO!! When a president cares about the troops he wanted put them in a war with the wrong country! When are u CONS going to admit that he missed this up. The world will never be safe again and if you think its okay to invade country cause you feel like it then that says alot about America. Sorry we are not the number country we used to be, stop riding on our past glories! We are not even liked in the world, I dont know any country that can survive by its self. Most of you people of dont agree with me probably have never left this country so I understand your ignorance.

Typical politics – you can not say anything good about yourself so you attack your apponent and try to make them look bad. Bush is not an apponent – so attacking his is really a dumb move. This country can not take another Clinton administration.

While Hillary may be making valid and useful points about the current administration (which is way beyond rescue attempts at this point), I think that as a candidate, she is too divisive within and across party lines to be elected. Half the women in the country will vote for her just because she's a woman. But then you have people in both parties that won't vote for her because of that fact.

If the Democrats want to win the White House in 2008, I think Hillary is not their strongest candidate. Though I am a registered Republican, I have been grossly disappointed with the GOP nominees and strongly support Obama. While Hillary would bring change to our country, I don't necessarily think it's the kind of change we want to see. We need a president who will unite the country, not cause further division.

any person over the age of fifty, knows that rodham clinton is PURE evil and her campaign managers would sell out America to have her win as did bubba.

Not a Hillary fan by any means, but I can't help at laugh at Dana Perino's "absurd" and "outrageous" comments. Nothing in that ad is any more disingenuous than the things that have been coming out of Ari Fleischer's, Scott McClellan's, Tony Snow's, and Dana Perino's mouths for the duration of the Bush presidency.

Comment:Whatever the personal attacks you place on each other bush and clinton ,doesn,t change the fact that people we vote into office seem to not know how to do their jobs or cut strings to people who are courrupt.Both of you were corrupt when you were voted into office and the amercian people gave you a second chance to change your lives at the expense of lives and our money.Next election will be someone elected who is NOT in that catgory. handmaiden…..

Democrats are sensationalists and extremely negative. It's comical that a majority of Democrats like to demonize anyone who disagrees with their unrelenting seek of power in the political realm and control over our personal freedoms. I'm sure that Dems truly believe that their ideas are for the better of society but maybe they would be better putting their ideas out their for the public instead of demonizing and attacking an administration that isn't even running in the 2008 election. Hillary Clinton is afraid to propose real solutions and rather just mud sling against President Bush to detract from her own faults. Here's hoping that a Republican retains the whitehouse in '08.

Bush is the first President in years who has the guts to stand up for America. I read CNN News, but highly resent all the negative remarks about our President. Where is the respect for the Office of President????

To all my knuckle headed republicans out there… Please stand up !!!
Yes you've got lots of blood on your hands as well .. those of you that supported GWB for a second term that is.. Your uneducated point of view led us to another 4 years of disaster. I can understand how the strength of Hillary and the will of the people have succeded your points of view and have opted to try to nominate someone with brains to the oval office. I know it must hurt your pride to look at your former unwaivering support for the immoral commencment of war in Iraq, violations of our constitutional rights… disintrigration of our enviormnment and the rise of corporate greed. Youve succeeded, but now we must turn the clock on you, and try to readjust our mission in Iraq and the war on terror, fix this blundered economy, and clean the water that we will be feeding to our children. Fixing our foreign policy so that we create allies is the way to go forward with this war on terror will e the new priority the we need. Go Hillary!

Hey, someone needs to inform Hillary about the 2-term rule. She will not be running against Bush, so why continue to spend money bashing him? I'm no campaing manager, but shouldn't she be focusing on the opposition?

Side note- If she does happen to get elected, I believe Canada will have a major boost in population

Did anyone notice that the White House didnt really refute Hillary's claims? Wasnt Hillary talking about low income families and single mothers? The White House comes back with medication for seniors? And on the president and the troops all the spokesperson said was that she thinks it is outrageous that someone said that, but doesnt state why. Am I missing something or did our troops suddenly get body armour and properly armoured humvees?

Hey you non-NY's come and live here in NY see what Hill-baby has done. NOT A GOSH darn thing. I agree the Clinton ADMIN. nothing was done w/Health Care when they in office. And the nest PRES. will do nothing also.
INVISIBLE someone said. OPEN your narrow mind? Soldiers are fighting for our freedom..RESPECT THEM!! they are keeping Terrorist at Bay. 911 I remember a Pres. saying we are going to fight these Terrorist as long as it takes…I remember LIB's and DEM's standing around me saying YES let's go get them for killing us on our homeland. I think Hill-BABE said same thing in different words. Are we not we AMERICANS ?? Fight for our country.
Never forget 9/11.
Economy..hey, I am working !!!! I am happy w/other oppurtunities out there.
Weird thing I noticed also..I really rarely see REP. bashing DEMS…Not like the LIBS and the DEMS bashing REP.

Gosh Hill-BABY get a grip…..

I dont want to vote for a person who just wants to BASH people …never will.

"This is a president who, first and foremost, has helped millions of seniors across the country have access to prescription drugs at a much lower cost."

Yes this idiot President did this, along with the do-nothing, bribe-taking Congress, and the Gov't is not allowed to negotiate the best price, and the tax payers are getting screwed.

This claim of Hillary Clinton's about being invisible is actually silly and meaningless. It's just used to stir up hate among people that don't wish to think for themselves.

Now, pretend that Hillary is on a job interview. Now, ask the question: "What will you do to make this a better country?" Simple question, right?

Now, what do you think when the response is how bad the other applicants are? The question has not been answered.

So…. who is the best qualified person to be the next president? Never mind what they think of Bush, or that they REALLY REALLY want the job.

Will any candidate answer with a plan?

This Republican vs Democrat vs Republican hatred is ridiculous. We are not picking which GANG we'll belong to.

I LOVE IT!!!! I'm a middle class working mother of one/part-time student who can't marry her fiance of 3 years because will lose the $600 financial aid toward my $5580 a year(4 classes) tuition. Can't expand my family because child care for one is over $200 a week. Can't quit my job because will lose health care for entire family. Have to jump through hoops to get my $33,0000 worth of school loans deferred during the period between Spring and Fall semesters because I can't afford the payment. Applied for the WIC program but was told my GROSS (before taxes) income was too high and that my NET (the money I actually receive) doesn't matter. AND can't afford to purchase a home because prices are triple what they were 5 years ago. So…..I have to agree that Clinton has a point!!!

What? You guys are upset because some one has the cojones to actually say something against the most deceitful, secretive, intimidating, divisive administration since Nixon? You're kidding, right? He left his family during the holidays to go in harms way? Give me a break! He NEVER completed his stint in the military thanks to his daddy during the 70's – hello? Amnesia setting in? Proud to be a Republican who has NEVER voted for a Bush!!

You go girl! Nobody can hit the Bush machine harder than Hillary. I love this woman.

Hillary Clinton speaks the truth! George W. Bush does not give a DAMN about the American people and we ARE pretty much invisible, as most of us already know. It's just too bad that we have to keep this idiot in the White House until the next election.

Hillary, keep up the good work!

HILLARY'S "WRITING CHECKS" SHE CAN'T CASH!!! TYPICAL POLITICIAN!!

The statement that you made does make sense. If i remember correctly the 1st amendment says "freedom of speech". With the way taxes are increasing, and they way it is hard to find good day care.
I feel that since Bush became president we've had more troops die in Iraq since they've been sent over there. Honestly, I think that the troops need to come home. So what Mrs. Clinton said in her statement, there was no harm done. She was just speaking the truth.

You go Hillary!!!

She is running on Bush and her husband and that is it. Bill is telling her what to do from behind the scenes. I like Bill but I dont want 8 more years of him from behind the scenes if he was running I would vote for him but not his wife.

This is really going to bring the country together running ads talking about everyone else but no mention of what she would actually do to fix anything.

Well, she isn't exactly lying.

Her point that she believes what her ads say are true is borderline defimation of character in the real world. But in politics you only have to believe something to be true without proof to politicize it. She should be required to demonstrate facts that prove what she believes before airing of ads, so voters can make informed accurate assessments of the candidates.

While the Clinton's continue to raid Rhode Island to build up her political bank account she hasn't sold me on her campaign.

GO BAMA

Man Hillary is one tough Gal!!! She has more cahonies than anyone on either side. That is what this country needs. I admire that. One smart lady.

"Why is it that all the Clinton haters are demanding to know how she will pay for universal healthcare, but they never feel the need to ask Bush where the money will come from to finance our everlasting occupation in Iraq?"

This is a really good point. I'm not a Hillary fan because I haven't seen her really DO anything other than talk.

But, we have spent an inordinate amount of money over there.
I think most people don't want the government to 'take-over' this segment of our economy. Seeing how gov't procurement is famous for $600 toilet seats, can you imagine what the Tylenol you now pay 6 dollars per pill for will escalate to?

A look at what Massachusetts ins trying with their Connector concept is worthy.

What we really need is the candidates actually debating and trying to not do hatchet-jobs on their opponents. They all refuse to give credit where it is due (especially if someone from the other party is responsible). Most political coverage we see (he said-she said) is more worthy of the National Enquirer than real "NEWS" organizations.

Have a nice day,

Chip

Ms. Hillary Clinton is such a joke! Have we all forgotten how she screwed up the White House when she was in office before? (Don't tell me you think her husband was making any of the calls after he embarrassed her with his unforgotten behavior) Where do you think she got the idea to run for president in the first place?!? What I want to know is what this Clinton's did to support our soldiers, elderly and the poor during their time in office. An economy CANNOT deteriorate overnight and an attack like September 11th was not planned in nine months. This all happened on their watch. The Clinton's are so far from reality of "middle class"! I know that I enjoy my extra tax breaks every year. I live in a country that has FREE health care but pays 40-60% taxes! If you want to know what the soldier's think of this war, come ask the wounded soldier's being treated in Landstuhl, Germany. Hillary Clinton did not too long ago but lacked the response she was looking for. Wake up America, nothing in life is FREE!

Go Hillary !! Americans are invisible to the white house !! i dont think he is prejudice one bit ,he ignores everyone and thier needs .

Well its pretty obvious Hillary is using the only way out that she has in order to win this upcoming election (lmao its in 08) – to harshely and rigorously criticize Bush. I'm srry but that won't do for me. I need something more assuring from her that proves her as a valid, and actually reliable candidate. Not just some jib-jabbing talky-monkey. You know, I do think that Bush ultimately resorts everything down simply to "Al-Qaeda; 9/11; and Terrorism in a broader sense" But Hillary only seems to put it at worse by hopelessly repeating her rhetoric on "Bush Hate" that is common among Americans after what we have seen from his administration over the years. I assure you: Bill Clinton may have done some good for the U.S. – but I don't see too much of that with this hypocrit

Hillary is a proficient spinner. She obviously had alread prepared this line to use in response to any White House objection. If it works, might as well use it.

I have a hard time thinking of Hillary as our president. I am raising daughters to be very careful when choosing their mate. Ever since her husband taught the world about sex on the side. It creeps me out to think that she kept him and set an example for women in this country that it is ok
to sleep around. I can't look at her without thinking of his moral mistakes.

Good for Hillary, sometimes the truth hurts.

I can see it already…We are going to be forced to vote for the "lesser of two evils". The average American can trust no one in the government to do what they say they will. Politicians do what they can to get the vote and then do what they want after they get elected. We NEED a third party.

Or maybe we just need a good old fashioned Revolution. Stop career politicians who have no idea what the real world is like away from capitol hill.

I am thirty two years old,female,single,white and have no kids. I work full time. I cannot afford health care. I can not afford school. I have less than a hundred dollars a month in disposable income, if that. I have no credit card debt, amazingly, because they are thieves.

I will be lucky if I ever manage to save money for my retirement because as of now I can only afford to pay thirty dollars into my plan per month, with no employer match.

If I can't succeed as a single, unmarried, childless white female in America….who can?

American Dream? What a joke.

Fire everyone. Start over.

The problems we as a nation face today can not be fixed by the idiots who created them.

Lesser of two evils = 8 more years of ineptitude and international suicide.

The question is…Who will be the lesser of two evils? And will it even matter in the long run?

Most of these comments make me laugh. Clinton says the troops are invisible to the White House. Was that before or after her husband downsized and made life harder on the troops. I am an American Soldier giving my life for people like Clinton who don't really care about the troops unless it gets her elected. Then she will downsize us again and more children won't have their parents around even more since they will be deploying more often with fewer Soldiers.

Why are people bashing the Clintons? I haven't been too impressed with Sen. Hillary's campaign and she probably won’t get my vote in the primaries. However, it was the Clintons that left this country with a surplus; which could have done us some good if we didn't elect the most incompetent president that we will see in our lifetime.

“Thugs,” is a term that should be used to address Bush and his oil rich, non-bidding contract buddies.

As far as the ad, it does nothing for an educated voter; we know bush sucks, stating that doesn't gain our support.
Unfortunately most voters aren't educated, politically, so I guess its right on.

I would rather hear why she is better for the job than Sen. Barack or Sen. John. WHAT IS YOUR MASTER PLAN?

Like the Clinton's did something for the country? Clinton/Kennedy…same difference.

What happened when Bill Clinton had 8 years to fix the health care system and provide health insurance for all those that could not afford it. Hillary joined her husband in the campaign promise to deliver afforadable insurance to the poor. They did not accomplish any kind of health care relief in 8 years. I don't believe her now.

Rob San Diego,

You wrote, "Not a Hillary supporter by any means but I can't believe anyone can defend this pathetic excuse for a President."

These problems (Walter Reid, etc) have been ongoing for decades. Do you REALLY think military personell were getting the BEST treatment while Bill Clinton was in office?

Bush-haters lose complete credibility when you attempt to lay every discovered "problem" at Bush's feet. And yet you'll say Clinton was responsible for the "greatest economic period in US History" (stock market).

How idiotic. Bush didn't create the issues at Walter Reid – and Clinton (as all Presidents) have little influence over the stock market.

CAN YOU AT LEAST BE HONEST FOR A MOMENT?

Campaigning on the backs of our proud men and women fighting in Iraq and elsewhere is not my idea of patriotism.

Voting FOR the war on multiple occasions.

Voting to continue funding the war.

Now campaigning against the war in order to win her party's nomination.

At the end of the day, it is Hillary who will be invisible to us all when she gets her's handed to her in the general election.

Way to go Hillary, attack more people. Last I checked your problem is "likeability". This I am sure will lower that number a bit. And for all those people commenting on the poll #'s and Bush's approval rating. . . .doesn't Congress have lower approval ratings? Isn't Clinton a member of Congress??? Just checkin : )

This administration has NO CLUE what Americans are going through finacially or other wise. Nor does he care. The president is making his $400,000 a year, along with his money from selling his oil and is getting his health care, why would he care about the little people. What a WASTE of 8 years. What a lame duck! This country is spirlling downhill fast. We need a good Democrate to get us going again before China & Japan come in and take us over totally!!

She is right. I wish it wasn't the case, but she is absolutely right.

Good!
I'm proud of you Hillary!
The more politicians that know how to honestly speak and act for the regular American the more likely they are to win our hearts and votes!!!
We are all disgusted with the arrogance of this privileged and dishonest administration.

All I can say is "who supported North American Free Trade Agreement?"

What makes anyone think Hillary won't make the same dead-end mistakes that her husband did is beyond me.

Those of you who are baulking at all the China products that are causing so many problems and those of you think that George gave your jobs away, think again. We don't need any more "good" ideas like NAFTA.

Why do so many people assume it's the government's responsiblity to handle child/day care or health care? This country is being suffocated by those who do not understand the difference between and right and and entitlement. You do have a right to health care, but you are not entitled to get it free. Everything costs money. Someone must pay for it. Pay for yours and I will pay for mine.

Go Clinton's, it will be great to have a Clinton in the White House again to clean up a Bush's mess.

I believe, as Hillary Clinton so aptly stated, that we, the poor, working-class and the elderly have been pushed aside by this administration. We ARE invisible to them and that's the way they want it. All of the big oil companies and all of the Bush cronies have enjoyed tax breaks (which have lead to absurd profits for big companies and private individuals at the EXPENSE of us, who cannot even fill our heating oil tanks). The soldiers of this so-called war are suffering greatly because of lack of equipment, faulty equipment, poor leadership, even poorer planning and funding that lines the pockets of the VP, and others, without helping our troops in the least. My favorite slogan for this campaign is " The only term this administration deserves is a jail term!" The Hague would do well to consider prosecution of this administration for crimes against humanity.

Senator Clinton has started the political mud-slinging with her comments. Did Bill Clinton do anything for healthcare? No. Did Bill Clinton do anything to stop al Qaeda when he had a chance? No, he did not. Perhaps if he had acted to eradicate al Qaeda, we would not be in Iraq now. Hillary Clinton for President? I really hope not, at least not in my life time.

It is telling to me that Dana Perino's retort didn't address the issues raised in the add (families struggling to pay for health care and affordable child care) two things that i deal with and that are not on the Republican radar screens. The President can't respond, because he doesn't have a leg to stand on when it comes to domestic issues that real americans are concerned with, and yes I do think that I, may family and my friends overseas are invisible to this president.

As a polititian Hillary is simply better than the rest. She has already separated herself from the democratic pack and is already able to concentrate on the general election.

She is definitely not someone I'd like to invite over for dinner. However, Bush and his surrogate Presidential minions have made it clear that the American Middle Class will not accept their drivel in the general election. Might just as well go for a winner. That is spelled H-I-L-L-A-R-Y.

Read the comments: Here we go again with Democrats caling people with opposing views names. Can we please clean up our acts!!!

Thank you so much for starting in layman`s terms to show our President what a shameless one he & his cohorts are.Please keep up this simple dialogue until he is banished from hurting average U.S. citizens further.

***NEWS FLASH TO THE DEMS***
You're not running against this administration….so stop campaigning against them. Show us how you're different from the other Dems and R's and you'll get our votes.

While I'm no fan of Bush, I have to agree that the ad is ridiculous. Bush isn't running for re-election. Why is Hillary wasting campaign resources attacking a non-opponent? This ad would only make sense if Cheney were a Republican contender, and thankfully he's not.

She is the "complete" liar and refuses to release her own words and documents that would prove to the public what a corrupt individual she is. She borders on being traitorous in her actions and commments. Basically a communist at heart, her writings show that….that is why they are hidden. Our president, while not perfect, is far more honest than she could ever be.

RE: Van in NY,NY

I thought Bush was "the decider" on military matters??? Why shouldn't we hold the commander in chief of the armed forces responsible for the poor healthcare our troops receive, the lack of training and armor or the increased tours of duty? If he's not responsible then I guess no one is…which rings true for most issues involving this entirely incompetent administration: complete lack of accountability for anything.

Not a Hillary supporter by any means but I can't believe anyone can defend this pathetic excuse for a President.

Rob in Panama City says this:
_____________
There is no government healthcare…

Correct

There is no child care cheap enough to cover the rise in gas prices…
Correct

Walter Reid is not providing troops the care they need…
Correct

Here's my comment:

Child Care:

PRESIDENT BUSH RAISED THE CHILD CARE TAX DEDUCTION after BILLY had it at an all time low of $500 per child!

Health Care Reform:

CLINTON: NONE – all talk, no action – as usual!

Walter Reid:

WHAT DID CLINTON DO ABOUT IT?:

NOTHING!

Additionally, President Bush ABOLISHED THE MARRIAGE PENALTY TAX! What kind of a creep (a/k/a Clinton) would have a MARRIAGE PENALTY TAX? Oh, yeah, Billy!

We could only hope that Hillary would become invisible….she is such an eyesore!

In response to M Finch. We, in Texas, do not want him back. Just like the Dixie Chicks, we are ashamed he calls himself a Texan. I think that he, Gov. Rick Perry, and Tom DeLay should be deported from the state of Texas.

After reading the article concerning Mrs. Clinton's ads. If I were her, I would stop and think before I speak. Americans forget so quickly. When Bill Clinton first ran for presidency, I heard he was going to work on providing a health care plan for the nation. He assigned this task to his wife, Mrs. Clinton. That's all we heard about until Mr. Clinton was re-elected. The proposal was shot down and never mentioned again, until time for re-election. Again, all I heard, the Clinton's are going to provide nationwide health care. Never happened. After Mr. Clinton was re-elected again, we did not hear another word about healthcare….. Until now. Mrs. Clinton, before trying to divert blame on the Bush administration, stop & think about all the promises that you & your husband has made FIRST! I for one will not elect a president who has repeatedly LIED to this nation.

Why is it that all the Clinton haters are demanding to know how she will pay for universal healthcare, but they never feel the need to ask Bush where the money will come from to finance our everlasting occupation in Iraq?

Double standards anyone?

Oh that's right, when it comes to helping our fellow Americans, our tax dollars are suddenly too precious to spend (you saw this with Katrina as well), especially when the money could be used to finance more bombing campaigns of the swarthy ones OVER THERE. Is it any wonder that the Bush apologists/authoritarian cultists on the fringe?

I will admit that Hillary Clinton has got brass. Attacking President Bush for not seeing troops, not seeing people who need government help, etc.,etc. Attacking Bush for the war in Iraq–a war she voted for–oh well, two faced is as two faced says. But, what about her papers from her term as First Lady? Been sealed, and not slated to be released until after the election. Why?? If Hillary Clinton is the paragon of virtue she wants us to believe she is, why is she hiding this material? Some will say that the information in these papers is not relevant to the election. Fine, if its not relevant, why be afraid to show it? Hillary Clinton is not someone I would trust as far as I could throw a 500 Lb. hog.

Hillary forgot to add "if you are not a rich white guy contributing to the GOP, you are invisible to this administration

Hilary Clinton is a joke. It is obvious that she has nothing important to say but attack the president. Maybe she should look at herself. We are certainely doomed as nation if Hilary Clinton becomes President. She is nothing more than a two face idiot. She talks about how the president doesn't care about health care and our troops. What has she ever done to care for other people? She is stretching to make headlines and it's sad. But this is the sort of person she is. She will do anything to make other's look bad. I am sure she has a chip on her shoulder from being married to Bill Clinton.

If Bush thinks he helped the elderly with meds he needs to start taking some himself. The only thing that plan helps is Big Pharmacy retailers by putting the smaller ones out of business because they can't wait that long to get their money and insurance companies. Probably the same interest groups that got him elected. Impeach the jerk.

When is Hillary going to figure out that George Bush isn't running for President?

This is just a pointless ad, the majority of the country is upset with W, so she's pandering to the masses by bashing him (standard Clinton practice). He can't be president again (thank heavens), she's not running against him, so why bother?

This is the beauty of politics. The lot of you are idiots, and you are scaring me if the future of this country is in your hands.

I'm not 100% sure who I am supporting as of this moment, but I do intend on keeping an OPEN MIND. Let's be realistic here–the term "flip flopper", that was developed by Bush's campaign committee to damage Kerry…and it worked. For the most part, most American's ARE flip-floppers, the way you all are defining the term. She voted for the war, yes. At the time, the war was widely supported by well more than half of this country (and now you want out–hmmm). So, if she didn't vote in favor of the war, she would have gotten chastised for being a horrible representitive of the people. Not to mention, Obama did not vote on the war in the U.S. Senate; he was only a member of the State Senate at that time–so don't be fooled by his "politicking" either. What's funny is you label Clinton an ice queen, yet you fail to label any of her male counterparts who part take in the same antics. It's interesting to see how the human psyche has not changed amongst progression.

None of these candidates are perfect, blue-blooded, Americans. They're POLITICIANS. Isn't that their nature? It's sad, but instead of attacking certain individuals (because NO ONE is 100% perfect like we demand our elected officials to be), perhaps you should take a look at the bigger picture.

Bottom Line: What this country has endured during the Bush years has got to stop. Despite what you might think, just an fyi, when he went to Iraq he had A LOT of protection–a lot. So his little trip there to support the troops (who he keeps treating like they're his own little green plastic army men toys) was meant to look good for the American people. Reality was, he had so much protection he never was in any danger.

The American people who run their mouths on emotion instead of being rational need a good wake up call.

I love how Hillary gets lambasted, by the White House and Bush supporters, for having the guts to pointedly and directly go after the White House for their numerous failings regarding healthcare and Iraq (among other issues). The ad is NOT part of a smear campaign, because it doesn't engage in petty personal attacks. Rather, it criticizes the Bush administration based on its record and, you know, actual issues and facts. The fact that the White House responded so vehemently and defensively just proves that Hillary's ad struck a nerve and has merit. The White House, and their supporters, wouldn't be responding with such vitriol if they weren't afraid that people might actually consider the broader, and deeper, issues the ad alludes to. As someone else said, the truth hurts, doesn't it? The plain and simple facts are that Bush doesn't care about the middle class or the issues that affect us. Just look at who his tax breaks have been been directed to (the rich) and who have really benefited from his healthcare and prescription drug policies (insurance and drug companies). And to those who continue to attack the Clintons as dishonest and unethical, I'd only ask if you share the same feelings for a White House that lied to get into a war, is in complete denial of said war (and, as a result, is undermining our national security), and has blatantly violated the Constitution.

I don't care much for Hillary but the truth hurts. If you don't have a wad of green lining your pockets this administration DOESN'T care about you. You can argue all you want but as a solid middle class American I haven't seen squat from this administration to improve the quality of my or my family's lives. Job stability has declined. My 4 year old home has lost 25% of it's value – due to significant local foreclosures. Despite the window dressing we are really no safer today than 8 years ago. Gas is double/triple what it was when IT came into office. The cost of living has risen faster than paychecks. Seriously – point to one good thing Bush has done for the middle class.

Like i said – i don't care for Hillary but in this case she's telling the truth.

I love it! You know you have hit a nerve when you have the White House jumping all over you in less than 24 hours.

The conservatives have come out in force here to spout the usual lies and tired old platitudes. The Clintons are crooks? Did someone really say that? With Bush and Cheney in the White House, someone has the unmitigated gall to say that the Clintons are crooks? They weren't the ones who decided to give a huge tax cut to the wealthiest two percent of the people in this country. Talk about highway robbery!

With this president's abysmal record of non achievement in office, I think it is appalling that they can send salvos attacking a candidate for just saying the simple truth. Hillary's ad was brilliant and right on the mark. I was quite impressed. This administration couldn't care less about the average middle class American and everyone knows it. All they want to do is line their pockets and give corporations huge profits. Then they get mad when someone calls them on it. They really have no shame.

For those here who are trotting out the old "socialist liberal" retread to attack the Clintons, please let it go. Senator Joseph McCarthy did that with much more zeal and skill in the 1950's when he was looking for imaginary "communist pinkos" in our government. You need to come up with some new and imaginative phrases. Lose the cliches already.

Hillary. Now I dislike her more. These comments coming from a person who proposed the most idiotic health care reform in the entire galaxy and who has zero military experience. Do you remember that giantic healthcare spiderweb of boxes and arrows?? It may be time for a woman in the White House, but it certainly isn't this woman. New York, what were you thinking ???

Clinton's charge rings true; particularly the one about health care. Bush and the Republicans view of health cae is that it should be a privelege of the rich, not a moral right for all Americans.

Thank you, Hillary, for telling the truth and not worrying about the White House's responses. Please don't back off; let people continue to know what you believe and how very different you are from George W. and the Republican party.

Clinton is dead-on. The troops ARE invisible to Bush and his war-mongers. Before you blast me, folks, I AM in active service in the Air Force. Where were the armored Humvees, sufficient troops, plans to repair the infrastructrue of Iraq, adequate body armor for the troops? It's been 4 years now. WHERE ARE THEY?

On the other hand, during the Clinton years, Bill and his cronies were just as indifferent to the massacres and atrocious human rights violations going on in Africa, and still continue. Why weren't we in there stopping THAT? Hmm, no oil interests?

What is your answer to that, Hillary?

Hillary Clinton's The ad, which started running in Iowa Tuesday, allegations are incurrect and should be stoped.

I really do hope that Hillary get's the democratic nomination….it will be a easy victory for the republicans. Biggest flip-flopper since John Kerry.
I want a president that is strong on national security, not a person who makes decision's based on popular polls. She is weak, has no business being the commander in chief of this military. Just like her husband, weak, weak, weak, weak…i'm pretty sure al queda will be happy if she is elected.

Well apparently "Mrs.Clinton" seems to think that her campaign for 2008 pres. election is just about seeing who is the strongest critique of Bush Adminstration and the GOP. She is a sterotyping bigot. Running for president at '08 isn't debating with the current administration – it should be about how she compares and contrasts to the other candidates both Democratic and Republican. However, due to her lack of much profound understanding of what change must occur and what path we as a nation must take – (other than some generically briefed lies in accordance w/ health care) – she seeks to easily rally hordes of shortvisioned, and idiotic Americans by simply taking advantage of their call for change and going (in much the basic way): "Bush is evil, he is wrong, he is stupid," "The GOP sucks, do not vote for them, we will stand against them," "im the biggest complainer on what has happened w/ Bush" "So vote for me." Seriously!! If u take a load of that bull u are seriously bound to be sorely disappoitned!! All she really has left in her is the fact that she's Clinton's "wife" and that she can loud mouth everyone else on saying bad things about Bush and the GOP – and only because she's got the money, and corruption at hand. She never even read into the specifics or hesitate even a moment b4 she voted in favor of the war; Do u really want someone like that in charge?? And for various common Democrats like myself; She does not represent our good ol' middle-class populace at all! In fact, she's one of the most aristocratic, and elite among the hopefuls, and she is only fooling u with her money! Take a careful look at what some of the poorer, but more profoundly-based candidates have to offer. Just take a look; get off of your lazy butts and t.v.'s and fat foods – for once: THINK AND DO SO CAREFULLY INSTEAD OF GOING FOR THE BLAND AND GENERALIZED!!

What exactly is the fuss about? Was there ever a question that this was untrue? The only problem is NO politician including Hillary really "sees" any of these people either…just votes. I would go so far as to say there has not been a mainstream candidate for President that has cared in almost a century. Its all a big show folks, go back to your jell-o shots.

Truth hurts eh monkeyboy??

How silly….. it doesn't really matter which party wins. Politicians will continue to be just that… and will NOT be able to bring about any better changes than those that came before them. It's the Washington power game. Sad that I don't see any bright side to our government. And you certainly can't hold ONE person responsible. That's just plain ignorant.

I agree with Senator Clinton's statements in the ad.

I still cannot understand how Hillary is even allowed to run for president… there is a two term limit and we all know she was wearing the pants in the Clinton Whitehouse! (Bill was caught without his pants – stands to reason Hillary was wearing them)

Her ad was typical Clintonism…A dirty and hateful sucker punch.

Quick fact check. In 1996 Senator Clinton was elected. It is now 2007. She has been working on healthcare since 1993 and her husband's presidency and ….

In 2002 Governor Romney was elected, and there is now a plan in place to use state funds that previously went to cover uninsured residents use of hospital facilities ("free care") to purchase health insurance for the uninsured.

This is money that was being spent anyway.

A semi-privatized solution to universal coverage without a huge government bureaucracy.

Results are not yet in, but it looks like a promising initiative. I'm not sure if he is my choice for President (still have a lot of investigation to do) but on this one issue that is front and center, he has made movement in far less time than any of his rivals.

Have a good day,

Chip

Is Dana Perino THAT clueless?

Hillary: "If you're a family that is struggling and you don't have health care, you are invisible to this president…"

Dana: (paraphrasing) "Oh, yeah? Well this president made sure the elderly has access to cheaper meds! So there!"

If that's the best she can come up with, then I think she completely proved Hillary's point. Access to less expensive drugs is not the same thing as actual health care and only benefits those who can afford to go to a doctor to get the prescription. Never mind the fact that this program only helped seniors anyway! Apparently those of us under 65 and in the working class bracket really are invisible. Oy vey!

Thank Bush for:
Highlighting failing school
Lowering unemployment
Lowering taxes
Increasing home ownership
Fighting against terrorism
Stewarding the longest economic expansion in history.
Job well done…

Thank Hillary for:
….., standing by her man?

There is no government healthcare…
Correct

There is no child care cheap enough to cover the rise in gas prices…
Correct

Walter Reid is not providing troops the care they need…
Correct

Sounds as if she stated facts. Now if the republicans don't want to hear facts, maybe Hilary could use fear and talk about how Russia or Iran is going to blow up half the USA…? I like the idea of running on facts and not myths…

Clinton's ad has a lot of truth to it, that's why perini couldn't answer anything that was said in the ad. Since when was voicing an opinion unconstitutional?? If bush knew what it was like to work for a living then maybe he would be in touch with the vast majority of america. i'm not for Clinton or against but at least she has the courage to say what's on most american's mind. at least the people in the middle and lower class.

I wish you people, including Hillary, were educated on Healthcare. I have not heard her tell me how she plans on paying for this universal healthcare. What you may not understand is that citizens of countries that have universal healthcare have to pay for it through taxes. It's not free like most of you morons think it will be. You will end up paying a couple thousand dollars for it! So with this healthcare plan the poor will pay higher taxes, the middle class that do not have health insurance through their work will pay more taxes, and the rich will probably pay about the same as they do now. The lower and middle classes are not invisible to Hillary, they are just uneducated pawns.

if you think this adminstration cares about you, you are not only invisible, you are blind.

Interesting isn't it how the White House responds with its senior citizen prescription assistance theme which doesn't ANSWER the allegations that Clinton makes. She specifically mentions families and single mothers, not senior citizens. Diversion is an old tactic, but there is so much wrong with this administration it just doesn't work in this instance. The reason Clinton's words sting Mr. Bush is because they're true!

Let's face it, all politicans will say anything to get elected.
Getting elected to a political office is a career,
not serving the people.
Politicians serve themselves, not the people.
It's all about the rich getting richer, and the middle class
getting poor.

You go Hillary !! I can hardly wait until you are president,the house will go back to the people.
Lil Bush and his Lil Cronies need to go back from the caves the came from and shooting people in the face.
I am so sick of these self serving a–holes! They do not care about anyone but themselves……..Go Hillary what a glorious day it will be…..

It's true, plus the mess that has been created by "helping" the seniors get cheaper meds, the people who had/have private insurance past the time they were given to sign up for Medicare D, will be penalized when they do change over to D. This White House bunch of buffoons is a joke. I really would be supportive for impeachment. Please.

What is sad is that one of the few things Bush is good at is reaching out to our troops. I wasn't too impressed with the Clinton campaign before, but this really turns me off of her. I'll find someone else to support.

The only people helping the lower and middle class with prescription coverage is Walmart with their discount generic drug program. They sure are helping me!

So Bush has helped a bunch of seniors. WHO CARES. They are dying anyways. What about the youth who are stuck in poverty-stricken situations, not to mention unemployment and a plethora of other issues? We, the YOUTH, are the ones who are going to take over one day and Lo and Behold, it ain't gonna be a prett site.

She is not only correct,she didn't even go nearly far enough!Bush helped all those seniors with HIS prescription plan?There are even MORE seniors and disabled that HIS plan hurt even more than it helped!Why else would the FDA permit seniors to get the prescriptions that they need from Canada,France and just about everywhere else in the world BUT HERE?Because HIS plan won't pay for them!
The MOST CRUCIAL thing that has been invisible to George WORST Bush has been the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights.He has used them as toilet paper for his entire presidency!
She didn't even get into Bush's total failure before,during and after Hurricane Katrina.Except for many photo ops well afterwards and a lot of empty promises.
At least he's been consistent.He's pretty much ignored ALL Americans except those that have been buying influence at some very,very steep prices.
His biggest problem has been trying to remember which lies he's supposed to be saying today!
It's high time that George W himself and all the remaining thugs in his Administration became INVISIBLE FOR GOOD!

If you dont have health care why are you having children? is what she should be asking?

Clinton's comments about families and single moms must have been true since the White House referred to it's support for Seniors medication, not health care or affordable day care!!!

It sounds like the ad is hitting a little too close to the White House and that is why they are taking such offense. I think the ad, although overstated, is probably mostly correct. I support our troops, but I think that the President and much of his administration don't see the individuals and therefore don't seem to be too concerned with their welfare and the welfare of their families here in the United States. As for the health care issue, too many people are without basic insurance and this has to be taken care of if we are going to move forward to being the strong nation we once were.

Shows you how dumb Hillary is to be proud of such stupid statements.

Perhaps she might add another blind spot, the lack of support for education. Ann Show Low, AZ

Hillary may or may not be the right person for the job, but the bone – headed guy occupying the Whitehouse now SURE hasn't carried the water. Good by George and don't let the door hit you in the butt when you leave…

More sound bit slogans: Invisible America, The Other America, Contract With America, and so on, ad nauseum. All these slogans have one thing in common, they are mouthed by phoney politicians who are more concerned with the leg room of the corporate jets they fly in then the downward spiral in the quality of life that is slamming the majority of Americans today.

She's tring to make some early points the wrong way. Must have forgotten Monica and White Water. Wait till the Swift Boaters show up.

I LOVE HILLARY!!

It is sad that the only accomplishment this administration has is the misguided hatred of the Clintons by a bunch of republican Kool-Aid drinkers…

Examine the facts people, and no not the ones spewed by FOX.

The president cares about the big boys, he doesn't even care if they operate out of the U.S. or pay taxes here.

He sees the troops as numbers and as is pawns. If he cared he would never have lied to America to send them to Iraq and let them die for nothing.

My brothers and sisters are dying and you who still support this liar are as guilty as he.

"WE THE PEOPLE"

"Apparently I've struck a nerve, the White House just attacked me a few minutes ago," she said. "Not only have I said it and am saying it, I will keep saying it because I happen to believe it."

Hey Hillary, I suggest you take your own advice on this one… "You should not always say everything you think when you are running for president, because it can have consequences."

I ABSOLUTELY HATE OUR ADMINISTRATION. On that note, I think it is pathetic how Hilary gets her kicks by baiting every-single entity that she desires attacking by making vague blanket statements that essentially mean "nothing" to the public or anyone else, but turn out being subtle jabs at problems or situations that she has done nothing to fix herself. She is a pathetic bully, trying to intimidate everyone, everywhere she goes on this campaign trail. This is the EXACT SAME REPRESENTATION WE'VE HAD IN THE WHITEHOUSE FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS PEOPLE. PLEASE REALIZE THIS IS NOT HOW OUR GOVERNMENT SHOULD RUN.

GO OBAMA!!! TELL THE TRUTH!!! END OLD POLITICS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE this woman!
We're not taking anymore crap from the Bush/Cheney/Rove smear machine.
And John Edwards et al need to learn how to do this.

Upon retirement, Karl Rove implied Hillary Clinton was a formidable opponent while, once again, punking Edwards on the damn haircut.

That's the difference between Clinton and the other candidates… Clinton scares the crap out of them. Unfortunately, they just make fun of the others.

Yeah, truth hurts, and so does efficiency. I'm not a big Hillary fan, and I'd be content not to see Bill hanging around so much, but here's some truth: she's a fiendishly efficient politician. She's right up in Bush's grill, honking her horn, forcing him to react, and in this case he jumped the way she wanted. She gets it done, and what we need right now is someone who will vigorously opppose these Anti-American Republicans and their plans to abolish the two-party system! I'd prefer someone less polarizing, and Obama did a good job making them all stand up when he said he'd confront hostile world leaders, but Hillary has the stuff we need right now. God Help US All. And the flying spaghetti monster too, we need all the help we can get….

Anyone who thinks our troops are not invisible to this administration needs to take a good look around. Extended and multiple tours of duty, mimimal time stateside to recoup, horrendous conditions at Walter Reed, long wait times (1 year +) for needed benefits, no government support for families left without a breadwinner for months, lack of needed equipment, sufficient body armor and armored vehicles (from day 1), replacing leaders who report matters as they really are, lying to exploit a death….and on and on.
Sure, Bush visited Iraq for a photo opt, but that still doesn't mean he's ever served in combat. What a putz.

This is from the same Clinton who took her own family problems and blamed it on the GOP "right-wing conspiracy." Leave it to her to do another "feel sorry for me" flick with her "White House attcks Hillary" posting even though she initiated the fight.

The White House would be bst advised not to respond to future attacks like that however, in order to avoid dignifying them. I think it was th e"troops" remark that caused the White House to lose its cool this time as that's something very personal to the President. He has avery emotional connection with them and visits with their families regularly and for any candidate to exploit the troops' families for political gain as Hillary did is really unconscionable."

Hillary should clean her house before she starts throwing rocks, as her health care ideas never materialized. My family and I don't feel we need another Clinton in office, if it didn't work the first time how will it work the second around???

When are people going to stop listening to these stupid, meaningless catch-phrases made up by politicians to get your votes? I for one won't be jumping on the bandwagon of anyone who would rather sling a few slogans than get down to the heart of the issues at hand.

Don't get all caught up in the "Hillary Hype"… or anyone else's for that matter. I'm not going to elect a walking ad campaign for president, I'm going to elect the person I think will actually get the job done… who I feel has America's best interest at heart. Someone with genuine convictions, who realizes that it takes more than "well we'll just do this" to fix a problem.

It's just a shame how many people get taken in by it. Ask the next person touting what a good president Hillary would be what she really believes in. Ask them what her stand is (and what her voting history is) on many of the issues we're hearing about on the news today. I bet they have no idea… but I also bet they can recite every catch phrase in her last 5 political ads.

Hilary Clinton is a devisive, arrogant person who really has no business running for President. The statements she makes in her ad are at best reprehensible and at worst flat-out lies. This is the time for this country to be together and to show it's might and it's strength and all she does is highlight it shortcomings especially in the caliber of what we have to offer as presidential material. The terrorists and America's enemies are chomping at the bit hoping she is voted in as President – then all hell really will break loose. I say to Hilary – careful what you wish for – I predict if you are President you will not be able to handle what comes your way.

I think there are large areas of the country, or of the electorate, who do not realize how extremely unhappy other parts of the electorate are about Bush, his policies, and the Rovian tactics over the past 8 years.

And those people are going to be stunned, absolutely stunned, when Hillary is elected President–because they have told themselves that it couldn't happen, and everybody "they" know hates her.

And it will not be "her fault" she is elected. In part, it will be because she can take a punch, and deliver one–probably better than Obama. And the Republicans will be punching, frantically, as she gets closer.

The country gets the President it deserves. And some pent-up anger from a large swath of people, and the tactics of the Republicans, will likely make that President be Hillary.

I am Mexican, but if I were USAmerican and had to choose, I'd vote for Clinton as she gives me the impression she does not let Machiavellian interests micromanage her as it is indeed the case of George W. Bush.
As a side note, those Machiavellian interests from the U.S. manifested themselves in our own 2006 Presidential elections, that were smudged U.S. Demorrepublican style. Our unity was damaged, we were polarized.
And yes, I believe this Bush only sees the haves and have-mores. They're his base, remember? Since the Vietnam war, the U.S. people has had to endure a war economy, which continues 'till now. There's no need for that war economy. But common needy people in the U.S. and troops in Iraq will be invisible to Bush as long as elite corporate/neocon interests are served. That's unconscionable on the part of a president who pledged "accountability" in his own government.

Typical Clinton – state the absurd and then claim the other party is acting foolishly.

However it's understandable, as Bill has publically demonstrated difficulty with the meaning and inference of words during his impeachment proceedings.

Whether Republican or Democrat, I think that the comments from "H" about the troops is totally unacceptable of what should be stated in public about the troops. What type of moral does this bring to our troops? (And she thinks she is helping them?) I agree we need change, but "H" is not the person we need. We need someone honest (if they actually exist) and someone who is actually for the people. Yea, she's for the middle class people? How do you think she is funding that huge house of hers in NY? Out of her pocket or the taxpayers? "H" has alot of baggage that should not be dragged into the White House. Alot of the problems with our country that has been brought up in previous messages have been our problems for many years, not just with this administration so let's tell it like it is, these things go way back to other administrations (including B Clinton's). I'm not a great fan of Bush and we need a change but if we are going to point fingers, then at least point them to all involved in allowing these problems to go on.

I don't see why folks are complaining about the Clinton ad. Most have never seen it. Besides, It is probably no worse than the ads the Replubicans run against any of thier opponents, especially when they think the are loosing.

It's just politics. Besides, Bush said himself he is in a coccoon. Everybody els is invisible to him and his henchmen.

VanReuter,

I was wondering if that was really your comment. I thought maybe you had gone over to the dark side.

Maybe SHE believes it, but WE don't believe a word she is saying. How can we when every word she utters is a lie or fabrication and distortion of the truth? Also, has anyone ever suggested that Hillary take some voice/speech lessons? I can't stand that shrill, uncultured "washer-woman" (my apologies to washer-women) yelling of hers. It reminds me of those horrible communist women in the Stalinist / Bolshevik government. Good day.

It seems to me that the American people were pretty invisible to the Clintons during Monicagate- their attention wasn't on the American people but on saving themselves. It also occurrs to me that if Bill had not had the narcissim to believe that his mere personality could heal all the wounds of the world he might not have stripped our intelligence agencies bare so we might have had better intelligence pre-9/11. Oh it occurs to me that I haven't asked yet if Hillary has publicly reported her earmarks yet. These people offend me with their smugness and double standards. There is the Clinton truth and if it isn't the Clinton truth- it is wrong. I do not want the first woman president of the United States to be Hillary Clinton. I have waited this long- I can wait for the right one.

So funny that if anyone else played politics with the White House, everyone would be like 'Yeah, well, that's how it's done.'… as soon as you get a woman up there doing it, the things people say are far different.

Listen people…wake up. It's time for a new and better era with a strong woman as president!! GO HILLARY!

HILLARY '08!

Hilary Clinton ought to be ashamed of herself. No wait a minute Queen Hilary doesn't think she has done anything wrong. She is so ignorant that I can't believe that anyone in America could possibly be thinking of voting for her. Give me a break.

slick willys partner in crime is so delusional as to be a laugh!giant tax increases ,illigals voting dim-o-rat,so much wasted spending,earmarks for politicians own buildings they own,etc.clinton is a criminal as are most dumb-o-rats!40 million aborted people filling landfills and the demo-o-pigs are understanding of morality?! NO WAY JOSE!!!

Regarding Clinton's ad, she is pretty much correct, but there is no reason to run this ad other than to further divide America, which by reading these posts has clearly happened. That is the main reason I don't like Clinton. She is so focused on dividing – dividing Democrats from Republicans, and even dividing Democrats. You can differentiate yourself from other candidates without attacking and dividing.

Regarding the White House's response. They didn't respond to the child care thing. They didn't really rebuke the healthcare thing – they only diverted attention to the lowered cost for seniors' prescription drugs (which isn't really true anyway). And about the troops they pretty much said, "Of course we care about the troops that are dying because we sent them there for no reason and now they can't get healthcare when they come back stateside."

She is also seen saying the president treats the troops in "Iraq and Afghanistan as though they were invisible as well."

This outrages me as my husband was in Iraq trying to get Ms. Clinton around the theatre without disrupting troop helo movement and she was too happy to place them in Humvee's as "It's their Job.." I will save my colorful words to preserve my class.

Hey "Jessica" – do everyone a favor and stop using the word "constitutional" without qualifying statements as to what you are talking about. I agree with the posting that stated that whichever party is seated is crooked and self-satisfying. However, in the same breath, I will also say that it is very easy (and not directed at anyone in particular) to sit and criticize the current administration for their policies and practicies. No decision is going to work for everyone, and every president throughout history has fought a losing battle to satisfy the armchair quarterbacks that sound off and dial in on their ethics, priorities, and personalities.

Ahhhhh, she's already starting with the negative campaign ads. I would expect that from Hillary. You only start to talk bad about other people when you have nothing good to say about yourself.

Reading the comments on this article is very enlightening and details the lack of critical thinking being done by individuals in this country.

All of you know Politicians are liars. How can you expect them to be the bastions of goodness and morality?

Our current President, more so than any other President, is the anti-thesis of progress. Our constitutional freedoms have been compromised, scientific progress has been halted, consumer safety has been jeopardized, diplomatic relations with other nations are poor, the economy is in crisis, and I could go and on.

The wealth and morality of this society are disproportionate. Middle class and poor people are facing a grim future. There is also the matter of a huge segment of society getting ready to retire.

I cannot help think that the Iraq War is nothing but a haven for Baby Boomers to protect their retirement. The Iraq War is a never ending war that seems to be perpetuated by the affairs of current government. How uncanny? The population of the U.S. is continuing to grow. How can the government support all of these people?

The Iraq War smells of Vietnam and I wasn't even born until after that but it seems all too realistic that this war is a great way for the government to decrease the populace since no one is really solving the social security issue.

Clinton is highlighting issues but I want resolutions. I want plans. I am waiting for a politician to openly declare their plan in detail and have it challenged.

But we know this is never going to happen, no candidate is going to go against the grain.

It's up to us to stop the stupidity that is our government. If this country and its government is "for the people, by the people" then we need to get off our lazy butts and rebuild the infrastructure of this country. It's old, and we need a secular nation that respects all people and religions. This country's government is inept, biased, corrupt, and jaded!

If we worked together as nation, the people, as a whole, I imagine would accomplish something great.

You people are a bunch of fruits, nuts and flakes.

I hope she makes more commercials that hit a nerve in the white house and the republican party.

If we can survive the MESS Bush Jr has gotten all of us in, we surely can survive Hillary!! I'm for Obama but if he is not the chosen one then I will suriously consider voting for Hillary. She's no Bill but I wouldn't want her to be.

Bush is the worst prez we have ever had, it appears you knuckle heads would prefer keeping him or someone just like him in the office.

Grow up…it's time for the middle class to be helped, the rich have received enough money through this administrations dealings and laws.

Guess what..it will not be the republicans that will do anything to help the middle class. They have had 8 years and nothing, now they are concerned about the long suffering middle class. Give me a break, Repubs you will loose control after November, 2008 get use to it!!!!

The only major mistake that Bush has made is to invade Iraq without enough consideration. Otherwise, he's done a fine job. Although we do want to get out of Iraq as soon as possible, remember that many Republicans are just as eager to get out as anybody. Give Guliani or Romney. It would be a grave mistake to elect someone like Clinton. Even Obama is preferable. Clinton will do a lot of damage with her protectionist, socialist-leaning, welfare state agenda.

Come on Hillary, who are you kidding, we all know you don't believe in anything!

Independent white males for Hillary! Go get 'em!

This is a typical Clinton remark – does she think the average American doesn't know what she's up to? she and her husband have been the most scandalous in the nation begining with his extramarital affairs when in Arkansas government and the two of them involved in the real estate scandal for which everyone remarkably had amnesia to Foster's suicide and the missing documents in the White House. How dare she accuse this President of any wrong doing?

Why is Hillary running attack ads as if George Bush was running for pesident again?

Well played Madam President Elect

Perino, and the rest of the W.H.:

If the troops and people of this country aren't invisible to you, then why are the troops still in Iraq after at least 2 attempts to bring this war to a end it? If these were the sentiments of but a few men, I rest my case, however poll after poll shows that this war is not what the people want anymore, or you as the leader. So, again, if the troops and people of this country aren't invisible to you, then why does the war the rage on?

Please answer me those questions, and I will be happy.

Sincerely,

Love the ad! Especially dedicated for those who claimed Hil had no fire in her belly!

President Hillary Clinton – love the sound and idea of that!

Hillary's latest attacks to gain attention to her campaign while taking advantage of the war through politicizing it for personal gain only serve to demonstrate what her real calling should be in life….a trench digger….who else could shovel so much with her mouth!

I am neither Republican nor Democrat in my affiliation. I look at the candidates and vote with my mind. While I do not agree with allot that has gone on during Bush's presidency, it wasn't like we had much of an alternative with the likes of Gore or 4 years later with Kerry.

Coming up to 2008 we will have a clean slate of hopefuls, I urge people to look at these people closely and not blindly believe the political spin machines they spend money on hand over fist. The United States will have a female president someday, don't use Hillary as an excuse to vote her in now. Look at what she has done, being a resident of New York state I can tell you right off its pathetic at best. While she may be a intelligent woman, her values and actions are not in the best interests of this country by far they only serve he own interests.

I'm hoping a quality female candidate arrives in 2012, maybe Pelosi or Rice.

Until then, Its anybody but Hillary Clinton.

All this is is CNN in Clinton's left side pocket. It is very ridiculous to condone Clinton's attacking on Bush then bash any retaliation from the White House. This was just an attempt to gain cheap political points. I don't buy in to anything Hilary says because her husband promised alot of the same and failed. I'd liek to see how Hilary would have dealt with 9/11 seeing as her husband let Osama go twice.

She is right! But she wont get my vote. Anyone who voted for this illegal War does not have the vision of the American people for peace and justice across the world. Go Dennis Kucnich!!!!

I love to see Euros making comments concerning Universal Healthcare. The think the Healthcare they are receiving is "free". They have no idea that they actually pay for it. It's called TAXES.

Being a registered Democrat is becoming an embarrassment & something I must fix in the very near future. It truly is completely irresponsible for someone currently holding a seat in our government to make such comments, especially ones that affect the brave men & women fighting for this great Nation of ours. We need to show a UNITED front to the world & quit these smear campaigns.

Go Hillary! Calling a spade a spade will definitely get the harpies shrieking in the white house. Nothing like a little truth to send the Bush apologists into a frothy outrage.

INSTEAD OF SHOWING THE COUNTRY THAT SHE IS THE BEST CANDIDATE (WHICH IS A SORRY FACT)FOR THE DEMS, SHE OBVIOUSLY THINKS SHE IS ALREADY NOMINATED AND IS NOW ATTACKING OUR PRESIDENT. WHY? BECAUSE, AS IS USUAL WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THEY HAVE NO IDEAS – ONLY ATTACKS. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY AND WILL ALWAYS BE THAT WAY. THAT'S WHY THEY CAN'T GET ELECTED. AMERICANS DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY STAND FOR. ALSO, I DON'T WANT TO DISSAPOINT YOU LEFTIES, BUT I KNOW A LOT OF DEMS WHO DON'T WANT CLINTON. NEWS FLASH!

When will people wake up to Hilary Clinton? She will say what is convinient at the time and bash whoever she needs to. Pick a side and stick with it. Hopefully democrats will see that Obama is much better for this country than Clinton.

In the end, the people of this great nation matter more than any one individual.

God bless America and the soldiers that defend it!

Oh, and one more thing. Keep this in perspective – it's a political ad aimed at garnering votes for the primary and therefore is, by its nature, supposed to push buttons. And anyone else who thinks the republicans are saints in their ads are big time hypocrits!

Hil is going to give the White HOuse to the Republicans if she's nominated. She is an awful person and would be a horrible president. I'm a lifelong dem, but there's no possible way I'd ever vote for a person such as her. I'd rather vote for the second coming of Hitler than put trash back in the White House.

mmmm, attacking only Hillary? Does that mean that white house agrees with all other "negative" comments of George Bush by other presidential candidates, republicans or democrats?

Guess Hillary's comments are what the white house worries about. Truth hurts.

Health Care has almost doubled in the past six years. Hillary does care about these issues and is working hard to change the way thing are being done. I am proud she is standing up and supporting our country. The proof is in actions and not words. I feel invisible to President Bush and I know many other people do too. I stand firmly behind Hillary's agenda.

Hillary Clinton is an amazingly strong woman, and one to look up to. I'm thrilled someone is finally bold enough to stand up to this administration and say what a lot of people are thinking. Though everyone may not agree with her politics, you can't disagree that she's got nerve.

Kudos Hillary.

I guess the truth hurts! You go Hillary! Keep telling it like it is – the republicans have ruined this country and you are the only fix! You got my vote!

Isn't it funny that when thing are not going right we blame the presdent. I agree on some issues but lets face it i think that the congress has the say on health care and other issue to help the american people. If the spent as much time worrying about the home land than who fired the lawers and other issues. our country would be stronger.

Why do political campaigns always inevitably turn into smear campaigns against adversaries?? It displays a level of maturity about on-par with a 12-year-old. …….Some presidential candidate.

It is scary to see that people are encouraging this kind of behavior. Come on Hillary, lets not focus on throwing mud on Bush. He can't beat you. All this is about is getting attention through negativity. Tell the people that they are living in a world of hell and she is the answer but do tell us how you are the answer Hillary. All you are doing is creating spectical but not giving us anything more than any other candidate. If this is your style of communicating with the people and the world I am scared we are going to seriously piss off a lot of people in hurry. Quite frankly she really scares me.

Who really cares? There is no way in Hell that Hilary will win the election anyway.

That all this country needs is another Clinton in office. Who's she going to screw? The lawn boy at the White House.

…If it weren't true, W.H. wouldn't have responded so repundantly. The truth hurts.

FINALLY! A Democrat with the B**LS to
say the truth about this Administration that has not only been by far the WORST in our history, but has set us back so much that it has undone 75 years of progress in just 6 years! GO HILLARY!!!!!

I wish Hillary was Inaudible!

This administration or dictatorship has kept the rich richer and the poor poorer and doesn't seem to care about the average people in this country, I am amazed that out of the millions of people in America that we could only find 2 people to be president, both parties make no sense since there has never been a true republican or democrat in the office, congress, or senate. They need to widen the selection and include the independent parties more to give the voters more selection. By doing so they will increase the votes and draw in more voters and then more voices will be heard.

Didn’t Hillary say in both her husband's campaigns that they would fix the health care problems in this country ? Now 8 years as First Lady and 7 years as a US Senator she has done nothing to fix the system but blame other people for the problem.

Hillary is exactly right!

Everything the Clinton campaign has said in the ad are the truth. While the Bush Administration created a prescription plan for senior citizens, they have done absolutley nothing to increase access to health care for Americans under the age of 65. Additionally, if you're a single mom in today's society it's incredibly difficult to find affordable, quality child care. Rock on Hillary! Keep exposing the evils of the Bush Administration.

Oh Hillary, you need to go away. Funny how Bush is responsible for all the wrongs in the world. I believe healthcare has been a problem way before Bush took office. Let me think, now who was president before Bush, think, think, oh yeah, someone named Clinton. And I belive Hillary tried to reform healthcare, but alas could not. I suppose now she will, right? The only people she is going to help is the poor people who already get it for free, not someone like me who has to pay for it. Liberals, get off the couch, stop watching the view, go to work get educated about politics, stop believing everything you hear (i.e. global warming) and start becoming a productive member of society. You will be a better person for it.

Most of the White House's politics and much of their supportors advertisements and propaganda has been based on fear. If Senator Clinton can state what she sees as a problem and provide a good plan with some details for her solution, then it is better. If she, like others, continue with fear based ads, then she will prove to be little better than other people. I don't think that she is the best candidate that is out there, but she is one of the better ones. There is currently no candidate that I like well enough to support whole heartedly. I just wish it didn't take so much money to run of any of the elected offices (president, senator, representative).

Well it's true. Name one person in the Bush administration that cares about me. I am single mother making less then $50,000.00 a year.
Day care cost is outrageous and is unaffordable. But I have to pay, which measn some other bills go unpaid, which has ruin my good credit score. CNN I wonder who is running the engine that is driving your company. Because your discretion on reporting has been crappy lately on all fronts.

I was invisible to Hillary Clinton. I am a single mother who is supporting her son on her own. My ex lives in New York and pays child support when it is convenient to him. When I e-mailed Senator Clinton about the issue, I received a message back saying that because I was not a resident iof New York, she would not help me. I still am having huge problems with the State of New York. If she can not control issues in her own state – how is she going to run a country? Now that she wants to become President – she suddenly becomes 'helpful' and is concerned for single mothers? I think not. It is political jargon at its best. Try as she may, she won't convince me.

What about the failure of Congress to generate a bill that is worthy of the American people? Bush may not be popular, but I wish the Democratic candidates would focus on what they will do as President rather than pointing fingers. Maybe she should learn from Kerry's 2004 failures

The truth hurts!!! Anyone making under six figures is obviously not worth Bush's time. I think it is unconscionable that more members of Congress can't find the nerve to say such a thing. I'm not 100% for Hillary, but it will take the next five or six Presidents, with her attitude to put a dent in the mess Bush has made.

Go Hillary! Drive those Republicans OUT of the White House. Its time the truth is told! I am a citizen of the United Stated who is TIRED of being ignored by George and his friends. Run them out!!!

Talk to a senior, talk to a single mother, talk to a member of the military if you don't think what she is saying is true!
It is very American to speak the truth!!!

Hillary is a joke. I feel for our country if she even gets close to our presidency.

Of course she's right about Bush. But these people will be invisible to her as well. We need a democrat in the office, but we certainly don't need the Clintons again – especially the unexperienced one.

Hillary did not strike a nerve as she claims, she lied, just like her husband has over the years. The Democrats feel any attack on the President, the VP, Haliburton, etc. is not only fair game, but gamemanship. In a way I hope she becomes President to feel the type of wrath she (and others) have recklessly imposed on the Executive Branch of our Government.

You are right, James. There will be a lot of not-to-swifties out there talking about everything but the election.
Now America needs the republicans to give up their wealthy worship and try to understand that the other 95% also live in this country.

Bush lied about 9/11. If you look online at a documentary that has undisputable evidence, LooseChange2.com, you will see that no matter what is said by the current administration, it is probally a lie. I got out of the Army because as soon as Bush took office, the military started getting unusual missions that made no sense and were far more dangerous to us soliders. We are not scared to fight and die for our country, but it is always better to get the other guy to die for his country. But since our government is still trying to supply our troops with proper equipment, which is still second rate, we are loosing more and more good men and women because Bush wants to make his people richer. Doeas anyone remember Ragonomics. It's happing all over again. Instead of a cold war it's a war on terror. Maybe we need to pick our government like we pick a Jury.

Typical Clinton. I wouldnt vote for her if she was the only candidate on the ballot and I'm a democrat.

SURE he cares! Why then did he make getting drugs much more cheaply from Canada illegal? And why did he get Congress to include a no-bid clause in the health care bill which would have not only greatly lowered prescription drug costs to seniors, but helped reduce government spending which is what he claims he wants to do?

Hillary's comments are right on target. I've believed all along that unless you're a billionare, you're invisible to the president. How can you people not see this?

Seems to me Sen. Clinton could save time and breath and just say that to this president everyone is invisible, except those who agree with him on everything.

I'll listen to Hillary when she has something to offer other than rhetoric. If she wants my vote, I'll need to know what she can do, not what she believes other people have done a poor job attempting.

Suggesting the administration believes these people to be "invisible" is just a slimy attempt to grab headlines.

Whoever gets my vote this election will be the candidate with the most substance without attempting to sling as much mud as is possible.

Keep going Hillary,you are right on with your comments about Bush. Most of the US Citizens are "invisible" to this President (and I use the word "President" loosely when referring to him). He knows he is out of there so he continues this insane war and his attack on the American people as well. You would be hard pressed to find a citizen that agrees with his plans or the lack thereof. Hopefully, we will all survive the balance of his presidency. I am certain that some of our boys in Iraq will "not" survive this madman. God Bless America.

"White House spokeswoman Dana Perino sharply fired back to the Clinton's allegations Tuesday in a press conference, saying 'This is a president who, first and foremost, has helped millions of seniors across the country have access to prescription drugs at a much lower cost.'"

I can state this is just not true. My retired parents hate Bush because of his stupid drug plan. When it was legal to order drugs from Canada (the exact same drugs that can be purchased in the US — another Bush lie), they had far more income than they do under Bush's pharmaceutical-lobby drug plan. I'm no Clinton fan, but Bush is a liar and a friend of the wealthy. He does not and has never cared for the working people of this country, except on election days.

WHITE WATER??? You want to talk scandal, now there is a scandal…oh wait we can talk about that…her husband PARDONED everyone involved…

I guess Ignorance is bliss, but she is all for me the working Mom….riiiight

It's so sad how radical right wing republicans will say ANYTHING to defend a president who, as a U.S. History Professor, I can say will go down as one of the worst presidents in history. For those of you you don't know much about presidential history, President U.S. Grant was a popular two term Republican president during his tenure. He was a civil war general, and veteran. President Bush isn't even popular (approval rating 33%) is not a veteran (daddy got him out of that one) and has NOTHING to show for his presidency. Well, President Grant died a drunk and broke and history later wrote him off as one of the nation's worst presidents. History will repeat itself on Dubya. It's History which gets the last word on a president's legacy, and if any of you die hard republicans think that our school's history books and college professors are going to honor President Bush as great president, you couldn't be more wrong and blind.

He will be so lucky if he is even remembered and regarded as an "average" president. Mediocracy is nothing to be proud of.

I'm just so tired of die hard republicans who still defend this useless president who has only damaged our national reputation abroad, has made us LESS secure in the eyes of our enemies, launched a war under false pretenses and has abused the constitution only second to Richard Nixon.

What is even more sad is that when he leaves office, he's not going to travel the world like Jimmy Carter to promote peace, he's not going to spend time in Africa working on fighting HIV and AIDS like Bill Clinton, he's just going to sit on his ranch in that village, called Crawford and reap all the oil benefits from deals he and his father made in the middle east. It's a disgrace and so is President Bush. The only comfort I have is term limitation and having to put up with the most inarticulate, irrational, moronic president of our time for 16 more months. I shall celebrate the day he and Dick Cheney leave Washington, along with the rest of their cronies.

…and as for Hillary? YOU GO!!!! First female president of our progressive democracy who also happens to have brains.

HILLARY IN 2008!!!!!!

Apparently, and predictably, the truth hurts this renegade White House. Senator Clinton's ad is right on target. Keep speaking truth to power Hillary!

The reason Hillary gets so much attention is because most people recognize (whether they realize it or not) that Hillary will be the next President of the United States. She's certainly the frontrunner right now.

Go Hillary!!!

Time to Vote for Another Lying Lawyer Crook that will promise everybody anything. We have had 1 Clinton, and I did not vote for him. I personally Think We Do Not Need Another Clinton!!
Ask yourself, has anything gotten any better in the last 20 years??

Hillary and Hilter, not much of a difference. Wasn't Hillary already President. CNN won't posted this because it they back Hillay. I wish some news organization would investigate the 85 people the died duriing their adminstration. Does anyone remember Ron Brown or Vince Foster??

I tell ya she's a demon and she is pulling weak minded liberals right into her plan to ruin this country. just look at what her hubby started with the free trade agreement look at the jobs we have lost and how many we will be loosing to his bright idea. now she is poised to finish us off and blind people are going to help her achieve her goal …Its a shame …a bloody shame! ! ! WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE ITS TOO LATE…

In the same sentence, the people of New York are invisible to Clinton as she pursues personal endeavors while ignoring those of her constituents that she was voted in to serve. Vacate your position Hillary if you are so sure of your bid for election.

If HIllary is the nominee, I predict such a heavy republican turnout that there is NO way she wins

She's hated by more than she's loved.

I'd drive cross-country to vote against her myself!

Clinton,speaks with forked tongue!
I do not recall any help when her husband was in office!

Hillary is a pathetic, power starved, wanna-be. She is willing to do ANYTHING to anyone to grab power. What put her where she is? Marriage, but no self effort.

If the current Bush does as his daddy did, we can expect to see a rash of pardons by the president as he leaves for many of his close associates, like Rove. The constitution should be amended to make the president name the crime the pardon is for when it is given, rather than the blanket pardons he can now give. If some crrk beats the rap, we should at least know what rap he or she is beating. I hope I am not the first to say it, but we may be the first to have the utter shame of our president pardoning himself as he smirks his way out the door after the next election.

Campaign ads are one candidate's view of the nation's flaws and are designed to convince as many Americans that the candidate's opinion is the right one. Hillary described some basic truths about our nation and judging by most people's reaction, most agree with her. Most people are missing the point that Hillary is not the right candidate to address our nation's issues. To fix our problems we need serious leadership. Based on Hillary's voting record and colourful past, she is not the least bit interested in solving our problems, but rather telling us who else is to blame for our woes. She approved this ad because she knew it would caues a buzz and generate even more publicity which will keep her name on our lips. Unfortunately, the White House took that bait, playing right into Hillary's hands. Just because she said it in an ad, doesn't mean she's the best candidate to fix it.

I don't think the tone of the article was neutral. The first paragraph seems to imply that Bush is being dishonest because Dana Perino responded to an ad that directly attacked the President. Bush is damned if he responds to the attack and would also just as likely be damned by the attack ad that goes unresponded to.

Just because the Clinton campaign plays that little game doesn't mean that CNN has to follow along. Its a small issue, but I have seen too many small issues on CNN.com.

WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE CLINTONS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. IT WOULD SEEM FUNNY BILL CLINTON BEING THE "FIRST LADY" OR MAN.

I've said this before and I'll say it again – there are a lot of NYers who are feeling invisible to Mrs Clinton – who lack health care, jobs, etc. Mrs Clinton's response (when not too bust campaigning) has been to help Indian companies and their Indian employees settle in NY (what was that about not being influenced by people who give her money?).

There's a saying about when you point a finger at someone else, there's three pointing back at you. Definitely applies here.

Somebody needs to enlighten the Clinton campaign that America is looking for new leadership, and will elect someone who provides that – Barack Obama for example. Making negative ads about someone who isn't even a candidate may work for the Senate but it sure ain't going to cut it for the highest office in the land.

As much as I don't like HRC, I do like that message. She's right. The middle class is being pushed aside. Ask my father. At 76 years of age he'll tell you all about it. Still voting for Ron Paul though.

hillary clinton is correct. the bush administration has not paid attention to the american people and we are invisible when it comes to health,education and welfare. george w bush is only concerned with his war of choice and chasing osama's ghost while ignoring the problems at home. just a bullheaded turd weed!

The American public became invisible to Hillary when she sold out to the insurance companies during Bill's term.

i think that Hilary is spot on. bush and all of his croonies only care about themselves and their small circle of super rich, super religious, super narrow-minded friends. i'm tired of these people telling the American public what good they have done for us, what a joke, although as a vetran myself, i know that the families that have lost loved ones in Iraq and Afganistan, this is no laughing matter!

I'm no bush fan but I really wish Hillary would spend less time blaming the country's problems on Bush and the republicans and start talking more about what she's going to do to change things. I despise her calculated political techniques. She's got different opinions than Bush but her methods are the same. The only candidate that really offers change is Obama.

Even her own husband preferred someone else in the oval office, if you recall.

Oh yes, she touched more than a few nerves on here and is Washington. Don't underestimate her at anytime. Afterall, didn't it look good to see GWB's "think tank" carrying his baggage yesterday. Another one bites the dust. Go Hillary!

What is so "outrageous" about this Clinton ad again?? Never have so many people voted against their economic interests like in the elections of '04 and '00. What the hell is wrong with 60 million of you?

"The Clintons will try anything to smear anyone. That is what they are known for."

Posted By J.Logan,Centreville, Virginia

A) Do you even remember Kenneth Star's witch hunt?
B) Are you actually saying this in the same 24 hour period that Karl Rove resigns his official smearing and troop-ignoring policy making duties?
C) Step away from the crack pipe. You need oxygen and lots of help.

Clinton says America's hard-up mothers, and our troops at war, are invisible to this president. The WH retorts that "first and foremost" Bush has lowered prescription drug costs for seniors! if that's the best the WH can do, the Democrats don't even need ads.

james st. louis says the Clintons are crooks. The immoral dogs who manufactured a war costing hundreds of thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars, based on false claims, in order to secure access to oil and fat corporate contracts are the crooks "nonpareil".

It's not a blow to soldiers' morale when someone stands up for them. Support the troops by removing them from this military theater of the absurd. "Unconscionable"? What's unconscionable is that this brainless loser isn't behind bars, with his nefarious cadre!

Notice how Perino completely ignored Clinton's assertions regarding those struggling to find affordable healthcare…

You may not agree with everything the Clinton's have done but certainly she is speaing the truth about this. It is evident that this administration has sold this country down the toilet with the lies, cover-ups, false intelligence, warmongering, fearmongering etc. etc. etc. One more thing this administration would love to take away – freedom of speech, so they can keep all the negative press and disagreements out of their way. We need the Democrats back to instill pride in our country and in the world standing. Hard to belive that this goofball has not yet been impeached since his actions certainly rise to that level, not like a dinger from Monica.

Bill Clinton back in the White House…that can't be good

so I guess Karl Rove didn't quit – he just started working for someone else…

I sure wish that "Hillary" would become "invisable"- -it would save a heck of a lot of headaches!

PATHETIC. I am not a democrat or republican and I think quite frankly they all are terrible.
Time to flush this system of them all. Get some of the best business minds, educators, bankers, etc… and have them start the AMERICAN PARTY.
She touts health care, she couldn't get it done for 8 years when her husband was President, what makes you think she can do it now. Show us the plan, then we can think about how it effects us. Are you willing to pay 2% more in Federal Income Tax so all Americans have free health care? Can you cap lawsuits on the Medical Profession so insurance companies don't inflate our premiums? Too many Americans want a free ride at someone else's (OTHER AMERICANS) expense.

How dare you telling the true to the American People!! Can't do that! The Republican Party made a habit to telling lies and morel lies for the past six years.This administration is upset of Hillary telling the true to the American People. Rove may be gone,but we have to keep deceiveness ,and lies on the menu for all time sake! Legacy, Legacy!

As a member of the democratic party I am appalled that a candidate has put forth an add attacking someone they are not even running against. I despise any ads that attack others but I believe this is a new low. To me, attacking others means you have nothing good to say about yourself.

Hillary is right on! The Republican machine has been destroyed by Bush. The low numbers for the Republican candidate in the 08 election will be Bushes going away present to the Republican Party.

Wow. I might actually consider voting for her now. I thought she was nothing but a corporate Democrat, a stone's throw away from being a Bushie playing in the brush and Googling images of the ranch in TX. She actually has something real to say and, for the first time, she's not some motley, apologetic political douchebag. I'm impressed. I thought she was a loser.

After reading many of the comments I see that Hillary Clinton really has struck a nerve. I am married to a high school teacher in the public school system. I know he and his 'bottom feeder' salary are invisible to President Bush.

I am a disabled American who worked for 26 years. I waited, and with a hearing,it took two years to get into a program that I was supported for 26 years of my life. Medicare took another year to kick in after that. After all that wait I was told by my supplemental insurance provider that my prescription would cost me $700 a month. Thats after all medicare co-pays.Yeah,the system is broken.However Hillary, your old man did as much to fix the problem as the current president has.Business as usual. Election time, let's talk about the issue's. Become elected. Do nothing!

Hillary, your right you are our GIRL!

Bravo, bravo, keep it up girl we are right behind you all the way

The Clintons have a good lot to contribute to our current predicament. As if it wasn't bad enough that they built up the stock market bubble, they also dropped the ball for 8 long years whilst Bin Laden's men trained, planned, and began maneuvering themselves into position for that fate filled day. It takes a lot of nerve.

When last seen, President Bush wasn't running for reelection. I wonder why the ad was aimed at him, rather than at possible Republican opponents?

I do not agree with much that Hillary says, but she is right about soldiers being invisible to the President. He and his administration does not care about the individual soldier, especially if they are wounded.

I believe it was Congress that passed the bills to provide access to presciption drugs. Bush only signed it.

I think that Hillary is a great woman and i would love to see a woman become president in my lifetime…

It is amazing that Hillary, errrr….her campaign, has adapted so well to taking any chance to "explaing her position" errr "finding an opportunity to be relevant". Oh I forgot, she has been in politics since …well a long time before I was born…

Where is the candidate for the people? Looking at the Dems and Reps, well so far same old same old ….but she is a cute (as she likes to say) girl. But back to the point, she is not even offering a return to her "husbands" days

I'm one of those senior citizens with medicare prescription drug coverage. Oddly, the coverage on various drugs is about the same for all the possible plans. I'm on a fixed income. With several chronic conditions. My medical cost eat up 67% of my income. Yet I don't qualify for additional help. Every time the White House talks about their prescription drug plan, I get angry all over again.

Cnn is the worst.

Hillary Clinton is a DISGRACE to this Nation. She is NOT FIT to be President. Hillary works on 'Hormonal Power,'and certainly NOT Intelligence. She will NEVER be a Stateswoman; she has NO Grace, NO Elan, NO core Morality, and NO Respect for Others. This country will NEVER elect Hillary Clinton. Hillary is like a Female Bull in a China Shop!

They never said the statements weren't true, though…

"Not only have I said it and am saying it, I will keep saying it because I happen to believe it."

Well, she believes it until the polls tells her to change her beliefs. I've yet to be shown anything which suggests Sen. Clinton has any integrity.

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!
They don't want the spotlight shined on the truth.

No one tell Bush the truth, but Hillary did. White House still has the mouth to open? Hillary is the best, she will lead our Country to the right direction. Hillary, keep it up, we will support you and you will be the 44th President of The United States of America. Hillary, you are my Girl, our Girl and American's Girl.

Terrible Ad!!!

Pandering. Telling people what they want to hear. Not only is she lying through her teeth, she is all talk.

No member of the "DO NOTHING CONGRESS" we have had over the last several years deserves re-election, let alone the presidency. Clinton…Biden… Edwards…Obama…McCain…none of 'em.

It is scary that people actually take Hillary and her lies seriously.

I am a 71-year-old senior and know from my own experience that President Bush helped the pharmaceutical industry to make larger profits at taxpayer’s expense and without significantly lowering costs for seniors.

What happens if I am not a "single mom trying to find affordable child care", but rather a single dad trying to find affordable health care. I think that she should rephrase that to say Single Parent. As a single dad, I face more and more bias everyday. I have been turned down for programs that would have been able to help with child care, since I am not a Woman I dont qualify. I was prepared to vote for Senator Clinton, however I think this has swayed my opinion. thanks

Hillary Clinton can not even keep her own house under control she can't be trusted with the fate of America. She will do anything to get publicity but everybody knows shes just a dumb carpetbagger then needs to move to French Canada so she can be with all her hippy liberal friends

Well if some people find this ad outrageous, then what can they say about 8 years of this administration?

One measly political ad was probably just too much to bear…

The logic of continuing to attack Bush when he is not eligible to run for president again escapes me! What new ideas does Hillary have anyway? She can avoid sharing them by attacking Bush but how does that positively impact her campaign. If that is leadership then let's find someone else to lead us!

Political humor for the few Americans left who can do Word Problems.
Population of U.S.=300,000,000.
# of Americans without Health Insurance= 46,000,000 (15%).
# of Americans Living in Poverty = 37,000,000 (12%).
Total # of all Active Duty U.S. Military = 1,500,000 (0.5%).
# of Troops in Middle East = 300,000 (0.001%).
# of Troops in Iraq = under 200,000 (0.0007%).
Getting 100% of Americans to focus 99.999% of the discussion on the War = Priceless?

She's right. They won't be invisible to the next President.

Rudy will see them.

I find her comments about invisible military ironic. As a New York resident serving in the military, I e-mailed that Ill/Ark carpetbagger from my post in Kansas. Rather than considering that she also represents NYers serving in the military and responding appropriately, I received a chastisement to contact my own senator–in Kansas. Her husband left a trail of uncared for people in his wake, President Bush will as well, and so will the next president whoever he may be. It is a fact of life.

Senator Clinton is absolutely correct. This president has done NOTHING for the average Joe. 80% of the financial benefit of the Medicare RX program goes to pharmeceuticals.NOT to the elderly

Hillary has struck a nerve! We all know Bush is a FAILED president and is just worried about his legacy…a legacy of death and destruction. 1/20/2009 can't come soon enough!

Go Hillary!!

Unless we have tons of money, or rabid right wingnut opinions, we are ALL invisible to The Idiot In The White House. This is the WORST President in the history of the Republic. Thank God there is a politician courageous enough to stand up to him.

If you replaced, "Clinton", with, "Obama", many of the comments here would be considered racist and hate-speech, as they are about a woman, they are SEXIST and hate-speech.
"The Clintons will try anything to smear anyone."…"Her attitude, deportment and message are offensive to me and I am a Democrat, a veteran and a prouid American…..many thisngs that the woman will never understand. Please, do us all a favor and remove yourself before you divide the party completely."…Hiliary Clinton is at best a cold, mean-spirited, ice queen. She hates the United States but would love to be its Queen. She is the worse that the US has to offer. I doubt you will put this on your blog"…"believes she is entitled to that anything she and her husband have done regardless of whether they fall within legal boundaries and will stop short of selling whatever may be left of her soul to get into the White House (again!)- we definitely need a change but she is not IT!."

Replace "Clinton", with "Obama". It's pretty scary, and would seem to do with MORE than just political differences.

Van

Pretty much ANY poitician is a liar, a thug, and will say/do whatever they have to do to get elected. Every single one of them resorts to smear campaigns in every partison. How many elections have you "voted for the lesser of the evils"?
However, that doesn't mean her particular statements aren't true. I'm not even backing Clinton, but I think she merely said what most of America is thinking, and I'm glad she did. Someone needed to.

Hillary – Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Let's not forget about your husband's attitude toward the Military when he was in office.

Van NY NY,

Ohh, riiiight, so you're saying the fact that the military bans progressive websites has nothing to do with adding to AMerican kids, being lured in by Military recruiters at lower-end malls in dead end American cities, already "ignorant" in the political realm, adding to ignorance has nothing to do with your assumptions?

Please. How many Republicans can back as Iraq vets and ran for office? Oh, I'm sorry…99.9% of them were Democrats.

The time has come for all Democrats to quit being rolled over by the Republican administration. I only wish Senator Clinton would have asked the president if he cared so much about the troops in Iraq then why did Bush send them to cause and referee a civil war. Also, Bush could only have pulled this off by the rest of the right wing war monger voters.

GWB and his crooked family…great grandpappy did business with the Nazis pre-war. FACT

GWB=Multimillionaire, at 12 years of age..

Bill Clinton=Middle class American, lived American dream, became President on smarts alone

Hillary Clinton=Middle class American, not a multi-millionaire at age 12

you tell me which family is made of "crooks." I will never never never never understand how someone who drives an inexpensive car, works hard labor, struggles with medical bills can vote for a multimillionaire who never bought a loaf of bread for his family..and turn around and defend them til their death.

DISGUSTING and IGNORANT

To "pl, at the UN" who opined:

What did Ms Rodham Clinton say? "I want America to distribute some basic necessities on a universal basis". Well, what is wrong with that? Most of the rest of the world already does it! And without any money!

The abhorrent fallacy of your comment is that it's not "without any money." Everything costs money. And if the recipient of whatever goods or services you think of as "basic necessities" aren't paying for them, then someone else is. Governments don't create* money, all they can do is steal it from productive people and redistribute it to people who have done nothing at all to earn it.

It's the perennially contemptible mantra of the Democrats that people who refuse to take responsibility for their own lives are somehow entitled to sponge off the rest of us.

* With the provisio that governments often "create" money by maintaining inflation rates in excess of what the economy demands, thereby devaluing money, effectively stealing the differential value from the citizens.

Funny how it struck a nerve with a president who never saw time in a war, yet plays commander in chief with a war that he started. Also interesting how porky, koulter and others relish in smearing others to no end. Yet their puppets dont cry foul since its allegedly "balanced and fair."

Mr./Ms. Dell of Baltimore: I found many factual errors in your post so I corrected it. Oh, yeah, and I corrected your spelling, too.

"George W. Bush is at best a cold, mean-spirited, ice king. He hates the United States but loves to be its Emperor. He is the worst that the US has to offer. I doubt you will put this on your blog – you guys are pretty pro Bu$hCo."

I do not support Senator Clinton's presidential aspirations – I don't think she is qualified and she is too far to the right for me. But anyone who cannot see that George W. Bush is the one who is cold, heartless, out of touch with the American people, and desires to be a King sorely needs correction.

I think all you anti-Clintonites are just plain funny. No brains, no observation power, no class, and no idea how politics works. Hillary is going to win the nomination, then the presidency, the country will be much better and you will all still complain about something. Just do us all a favor and stay home on Election Day…

What Hillary said in her add may be true but let us not forget that she will do anything and say anything for political gain. She will try to outsamrt 260 million Americans and she might just do that unless Americans wake up and realize that she cares only for about herself and how to get into the White House. Fellow Americans, we have 7 years of puff from a Texan cowboy, do want another 4 years of bluff from the Clintons? I do not.

I can see why the White House responded so strongly – it's all true. I don't care much for Hillary, but she's nailed this one.

As a soldier, I was embarrassed to serve under President Clinton – Soldiers could go to jail for the things he did. I'll be even more embarrassed and disgusted to serve if Hillary wins. She truly doesn't care about us and we know it. She has unveiled contempt and unless you've seen her around those of us in uniform, you probably can't imagine the depth of her contempt. Even though I can't be partisan in uniform, I will actively campaign against her in any way I can.

Another reason, in the already long list, of why not vote for Mrs. Clinton.

Go Hillary !

It's simple, most American's are much worse off now under Bush. And the republicans use a few hot button issues to keep power. If you are working class you are kidding yourself if you don't support the Democrats and Hillary.

Senator Hillary is doing right. We are working class, and right now the living standard is degraded everyday, it is a serious problem !

We are calling for help, and she stood up for us !

Hey James from Phoenix (probably at the RNC) -

So you seem to think there is something that came of that very expensive witch hunt Ken Starr reigned over? Nada.

"Oh don't you worry – the RNC plans on giving Hillary PLENTY of free advertising – reminding the American people about Rose Law Firm, White Water, Vince Foster, Monica, Paula, Kathleen, Jaunita, FBI Files, Travel-gate, Failed Health-scare, voting FOR Iraq, Voting For funding the war then being against the war (Kerry-esque)."

Let's break it down.
Rose Law Firm – came up empty
White Water – came up empty
Vince Foster – suicide duh
Monica, Paula, Kathleen, Jaunita- personal marital issues, if they are even true. (want to put your personal issues out there?)
FBI Files – unproven conspiracy theories, want to see what Cheney is looking at?
Travel-gate – Sheesh. Another dead end.
Failed Healthcare – killed by GOP led Congress
voting FOR Iraq/funding – can you say Bush Lied? I knew you could.

All this inept GOP led witch hunt cost the taxpayers approximately $60 Million dollars and who knows how many months of lost productivity in Congress.

Today we are looking for change, not the same old lies from the administration.

Telling it like I see it,
Wynter

Van NY NY

Isn't it also true that Bush allows, without any effort to remedy, the appalling conditions for the men and women of the armed services?

I think the bigger problem is that Hillary seems to think she is running
against George Bush and she isn't. She must be confused. I dont support Bush at all but she clearly has voted to support George Bush's position on many things. She voted for the war, has funded it for several yrs. She voted for Amnesty last year and this year which is the same position as Bush. She voted for removal of writ of Habeas Corpus which is the basis of our Judical System. She supports Fisa and the Patriot Act. She also voted for the Military Industrial Commmissions act too. Seems to me she is just like George Bush as they vote THE SAME. She should be campaigning as a neocon cause she aint no Democrat or
Republican and to CNN If I can finds these facts. How come you aren't reporting them. How about you start talking about Hillary's actual votes
instead of this stuff. Americans search these MSM candidates records of voting or you will surly get more of the same. Because the old media is trying to control who will be President. That is not the actions of a FREE SOCIETY.

Rich if you can find these facts, why didn't you find that Obama and most democrats (except Kucinich) have voted the same?

Hillary's point is Bush's utter lack of respect for common people's woes, like wages, healthcare, benefits, etc. The so-called facts you are pointing out are policy decision to protect America. You are either a Repulican scared of Hillary or selectively informed independent.

Democrats stay together because Republicans are getting scared of Hillary.

Well it appears as though White House spokeswoman Dana Perino simply, as the saying goes "can't handle the truth!"

I am so sick of her! She's caustic and totally hypocritical. All rhetoric and no resume of sucess.

All I can say is that the 1st admendment of the Bill of Rights gives us the freedom of expression…if I am wrong then I will research my U.S.A. Library of Congress to get my documentational evidence correctly, but I am most certain that the freedom of expression is what the forefathers (washington, jefferson, madison, franklin, burr, hamilton) meant when they formed the brotherhood of the fledging United States of America from out of the page of the Declaration of Independence to a political movement against a monarchy an Atlantic Ocean away…(months of days at sea back then). I guess, she did stick a nerve. My question is simple…is the brotherhood of Washington D.C. nervous about the emerging sisterhood in the popular consciousness of the United States of America? Okey dokey, I, personally, don't mind actually. At least there is a woman getting national attention that has a brain, education, husband and child, not to mention a JOB in the US Congress, that is more popular than Sanjaya of American Idol or Brittany, Paris or Lindsay….for all the fathers out there, I would like to think that they would be proud of a woman that didn't divorce her husband over an extra marital affair. Maybe the institution of marriage would be a stronger institution if more women had the strength of this woman. Bravo, You Go Girl!

Hillary Clinton is so unelectable that Newt Gingrich feels that he may need to get into the Presidential race. She is so unelectable that in most national polls almost half of her party want her as their nominee. She is so unelectable that she is the first relevant female candidate for President. Hillary is so unelectable that people are running and screaming at the mere thought of her getting elected. Hillary is also so unelectable because most Republicans pay attention to her than their own candidates.

I live in upstate NY. When Hillary ran in 2000 for her first term, she gave speech after speech telling us upstaters that she would deliver 200,000 new jobs to upstate NY in her first term!

The Rochester area alone has LOST over 25,000 jobs since 2000…25,000!!

Nice job Hillary…why don't you run an ad talking about how invisible we upstaters are to you now.

Terrible senator and would be a disaster as a president. Thank god she has no chance in hell of getting elected. Too many smart citizens can't stand her.

Hillary can laugh all she wants. She has no chance in hell of getting elected. Republicans are praying the Dems are stupid enough to nominate her.

At best, I am indifferent to Hillary. But I find the response from the White House curious.

Rather than addressing the charge that those without health care and single mothers are invisible, they respond with the non sequitur of how they have helped senior citizens get cheaper meds. How that correlates to Hillary's charge is beyond me.

In regards to the invisibility of soldiers… well, it may be 'absurd' for a member of congress to criticize, but which administration sent them in to harm's way with inadequate protection? And that was just the start of the debacle.

Perhaps 'invisible' wasn't the right word. 'Expendable' might be better.

GO HILLARY!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!

More Bush-bashing from the radical-communist-socialist-vegetarian left. More typical left-winger pointy-headed nonsense about Bush not caring.

Look at how much he has done for the struggling pharmaceutical companies! They no longer have to dicker prices with Social Security; they just announce a price and Uncle Sugar has to pony up.

Look at how well Halliburton is doing! When the Army finds a few hundred million dollars in fraudulent billings, Halliburton executives just write the federales a check out of petty cash … talk about prosperous!

And the charge that our soldiers are invisible to Bush is practically treasonous. Bush, an experienced and hardened military veteran, knows what it is like to be in uniform. He did, after all, put his uniform on for a couple of photos. Has Hillary ever been in uniform? Let the libs answer that one! Ha!

I happen to concur with Sen. Clinton's political ad. At no point in Bush's administration spanning six years has he accomplished anything to support the people in this country that really need help. He has given tax breaks to the richest 1%. Protected the same oil companies that are currently charging us $3 a gallon for gas while maintaining a record profit level for the past year. And his so called Drug Benefit for Seniors is a BIG giveaway to the Drug Companies, not the Seniors. They no longer have the same collective bargaining position they had before he changed the rules. His Drug plan took that away from them.

All in all, this president has dragged us into high deficits, a ruined economy now turning into a moderate recession while personnel salaries remain stagnant for the entire six years. Enough is enough. We need change in a positive direction and this president hasn't done one thing that hasn't been focused on big business and the rich.

Telling it like I see it,
Wynter

Clinton's comment are typical politics especially about the President's support for our brave troops in Iraq.
Terrible ad…

Of course Hillary has to issue strongly worded attacks on the President. How else is she supposed to get press attention? Look at the mid-tier candidates: they generally say reasonable, level-headed things and get no attention from the media whatsoever. It takes a daring or bold statement to get any media play these days.

Is anybody really surprised about this situation? Horserace journalism and racy soundbites dominate in the media because they're interesting, flashy, and much easier for Americans to digest than commentary on policy. When was the last time anybody in the mainstream media did any real investigation or reporting into strategies to reduce the national deficit or similarly complicated issues? It's the biggest reason why I think Barack Obama's candidacy is doomed- his focus on actually solving policy issues is just too smart for most Americans, and it goes right over the media's head as well.

Bush thinks Hilary's ad is "outrageous"??? His entire lying, warmongering, profiteering, spying, stonewalling, corrupt, lawbreaking PRESIDENCY has been outrageous! He and that crooked dirtbag Cheney should both resign in shame.

Not everyone expects a health care handout paid for by taxpayers. Do we want a single-payer plan administered by the government? No thank you, Mrs. Clinton. I would like you and your husband to be invisible. There has to be a better candidate on the Democratic side.

Hilary Clinton is a self-serving Democratic idiot. She is doing and saying the things that people want to hear; that's called lip-service. Her husband's administration helped cement part of the policy that we as American citizens live in now, so not only is she bashing her own husband and his administration, she's attacking the current administration in a typical "look at me, I can cry foul" way. This country is in serious trouble if this self-service waste of air is elected President.

Hillary will promise any group anything to get elected. If she is successful at being elected, we can turn out the lights, the party is over.

The Clintons are a bunch of thugs.

Hillary will Win , so instead of everyone looking for the bad, try looking for the good, there is a whole bunch of good…Go Hillary 2008

Joe in DC

"could it be the national disgrace uncovered by the Washington Post at Walter Reed hospital?"

(Yeah – it was Bush's fault for the last 20+ years of deterioration at WRH)

"Could it be the failure to have adequate medical facilities across the country for the grievously-injured returning veterans?"

(Again – Bush's fault for the build-up and maintanence of these facilities over the last 50 years)

"Could it be the repeated lengthening of tours of duty for already-exhausted soldiers in the field as the mission keeps changing and the time to complete it keeps getting ever longer? "

(The Generals have no input on this, right? Bush has been calling every shot on the War.)

"Could it be the failure to have provided the troops with necessary body armor or armored vehicles"

(Right – let's not talk about those politicians that have voted to stop funding which would negatively impact pay, munitions, etc)

Sorry Joe – your effort to tar and feather Bush just doesn't wash. I would rather draw your attention to the Nancy Pelosi's that pulls a jane-fonda going to Syria and repeatedly supports the terrorists when saying the Surge is Failing, and those politicians who keep barking about the failure in Iraq.

And whom do you suppose the soldiers of our armed forces will overwhelmingly be voting for… Hillary?? Riiiiiiight. That's why Gore (in 2000) wanted to protest the absentee ballots of the armed services from Florida – saying they arrived too late.

Blasting Bush on the military is akin to saying Al Gore doesn't care about the environment.

The Democrats control the House and Senate, what have they done except attack the Republicans. They need to do the work they promised and quit making things worse than they are. The doom and gloom won't work on intelligent people!

Someone needs to blow in the ear of White House spokeswoman Dana Perino! She needs a refill!She doesn't "get it" nor does the rest of the unaffected that don't understandthe struggle and strife many are going though!!!!!

She speaks truth. The men who had never set their feet in battlefield or whose sons never had to go to the war do not fully comprehend the apprehension and agony soldiers' family and friends go through. Healthcare in US is a big issue as well. Someone has to face it before it is too late. I support her with all my heart.

The Clintons are unethical and need to go back to Arkansas where they belong.

I think the bigger problem is that Hillary seems to think she is running
against George Bush and she isn't. She must be confused. I dont support Bush at all but she clearly has voted to support George Bush's position on many things. She voted for the war, has funded it for several yrs. She voted for Amnesty last year and this year which is the same position as Bush. She voted for removal of writ of Habeas Corpus which is the basis of our Judical System. She supports Fisa and the Patriot Act. She also voted for the Military Industrial Commmissions act too. Seems to me she is just like George Bush as they vote THE SAME. She should be campaigning as a neocon cause she aint no Democrat or
Republican and to CNN If I can finds these facts. How come you aren't reporting them. How about you start talking about Hillary's actual votes
instead of this stuff. Americans search these MSM candidates records of voting or you will surly get more of the same. Because the old media is trying to control who will be President. That is not the actions of a FREE SOCIETY.

If the comments on the CNN political ticker are an indication of the national mood, and I think they are, then we're in for a rough election cycle. A longer, meaner one. God help us…

I TOTALLY LOVE HILLARY AND CANNOT WAIT UNTIL SHE IS PRESIDENT!!!

Although there's not a chance on Earth that I'd vote for Hillary, I agree that Bush and his ilk have nothing but contempt for the average working American. There's a special place in Hell for Goerge W Bush,,

Hillary is right. The American people have been invisible to Bush and Company right from the start. The only "people" he "sees" are the very rich and anyone connected to "Big Business" and/or the military industrial complex.

finally, a person that dares to say the
truth

Keep the pressure on that snake in the white house. Good job Hillary.

White House Attacks Hillary's New Ad."

Classic Clinton campaigning – attack another person/party… and then cry foul when they swing back.

I only hope America sees Hillary and her campaign for what it is – a lost cause.

Posted By Henry, Tucker GA : August 14, 2007 5:53 pm

-Couldn't agree more….

"not only have I said it and am saying it, I will keep saying it because I happen to believe it " – This from a woman who took longer to produce her law firm records than our "invisible" troops have been overseas, believes she is entitled to that anything she and her husband have done regardless of whether they fall within legal boundaries and will stop short of selling whatever may be left of her soul to get into the White House (again!)- we definitely need a change but she is not IT!

To James, from Phoenix AZ:

Senator Clinton is running on a platform of universal health care, fiscal responsibility, strong national security and bringing our troops home from Iraq.

And you think you can convince the American people to abandon those values with your slimy list of disproven allegations, cheap insinuations and right-wing radio lies?

I love Phoenix, but I think maybe you’ve been out in the sun too long.

Them dogs don’t hunt.

Why did Sen. Clinton say the troops are invisible to President Bush? Oh, I don't know, could it be the national disgrace uncovered by the Washington Post at Walter Reed hospital? Could it be the failure to have adequate medical facilities across the country for the grievously-injured returning veterans? Could it be the repeated lengthening of tours of duty for already-exhausted soldiers in the field as the mission keeps changing and the time to complete it keeps getting ever longer? Could it be the failure to have provided the troops with necessary body armor or armored vehicles?

Bush the phony is all gung-ho sending our children off to war. Lots of lip-service about supporting the troops and the usual BS. But there's been no follow-up.

In the rough and tumble world of politics that Bush and his minions have been all too willing to engage in over the years, saying that the troops are invisible to Bush given his record is relatively tame political rhetoric. And his spokesperson's overreaction serves only to highlight his administration's woeful record in actually doing things–other than talking–to support the troops. It's well past time somebody called him on it.

Great. The White House feeding into Clinton's hands and making her look good to far left democrats. Clinton will say or do anything to get into the White House.

Paris Hilton would make a better President than george bush, Hillary is definitely going to be a bonus.

Anyone that supports the bush administration is guilty of either stupidity or treason.

Senator Clinton is acting as if she has the nomination all sewed up. And that's just dandy for the Republicans. She's got way too much baggage and is totally unelectable. Once again the Dems are handing us another horribly flawed candidate who will ensure yet another Republican President and never-ending stolen election belly-aching. The two parties have become even more of a joke since the infamous independent runs of Ross Perot gave us Clinton I. Washington will never "get it."

Hiliary Clinton is at best a cold, mean-spirited, ice queen. She hates the United States but would love to be its Queen. She is the worse that the US has to offer. I doubt you will put this on your blog – you guys are pretty pro Hillary, no??l

What else will she say just to get elected? Stay tuned, it won't be long!

As if no one ever attacked Hillary…
Go on Hillary. Americans are sick and tired and mad as hell at the way this country has been run the last 8 years

I am sick and tired of living under defcon 3 and security level orange because the Republicans want to keep us scared so they can stay in power.

I am also sick of people squawking "911…Al Queda" to get a vote"

Its painful for the White House to hear the truth. I'm with Hillary. I'll keep saying the truth as well. The Bush Administration is truly a shameful group of people.

point fingers here and there…it's politics for you. the bottom line is God Hillary know's it ALL!! The way she responded to Perino's comment show's how classy of a God she is. She'll take it to you and if you dont like it God Hillary is right in the end.

How can someone say that Bush doesn't care about the troops? He visits wounded vets every chance he gets, he's been to Iraq when we can get there. He calls dead soldiers families. Sending troops to war and not caring about them are different things. People should lower the level of partisan bickering and think about what they're saying. You can have disagreements about policy without thinking the other side is evil. Clinton has officially just lost me as someone who would consider voting for her. It's down to McCain, Obama, and Richardson for me now.

ROTFLOL
This has obviously struck a nerve among the usual suspects here. I am waiting to see if certain comments are deleted.

The comment was about families without adequate health care and single moms finding child care. The Bush response is "well, look what we did for seniors. That should make up for it." I guess when it comes to all of us under 65 who are struggling, they had nothing to say.

"This president sucks and you are unconstituional for following him regardless if we are supposed to support our president. "

Wow Jessica, you'll have to point to the new law which makes a person "unconstitutional" for being a spokesperson for the White House.

Van,

Oh don't you worry – the RNC plans on giving Hillary PLENTY of free advertising – reminding the American people about Rose Law Firm, White Water, Vince Foster, Monica, Paula, Kathleen, Jaunita, FBI Files, Travel-gate, Failed Health-scare, voting FOR Iraq, Voting For funding the war then being against the war (Kerry-esque).

Oh there will be plenty of ads mentioning Hillary should she be given the nomination.

Some things are true even when Hillary says them – we ARE invisible, until we vote this shallow, heedless and truly evil gang out of power. The prescription drug "benefit" is a joke appreciated only by the creators of Harry and Louise.

"As to whether or not our troops are invisible to this president, I think that is absurd and that it is unconscionable that a member of Congress would say such a thing," Perino added.

It just goes to show, once again, this administration "demonizing" anyone who objects, criticizes or actually contemplates the realities of this failed administration. Way to go Carl Rove, you taught the Republicans well.

IF BUSH DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE TROOPS, WHERE DID HE GO DURING THANKSGIVING A FEW YEARS AGO?? HAS HILLARY LEFT THE COUNTRY DURING A HOLIDAY LEAVING HER FAMILY BEHIND, GOING INTO HARMS WAY…UM NO. ALL SHE WANTS IS THE HEADLINES, NO BYLINES. CLASSIC CLINTON CAMPAIGNING AT ITS BEST!

Notice that the White House spokeswoman didn't refute the claims in the ad only added what Bush has done for seniors and prescription medicine. And with many going to Canada and online to get their meds,that is questionable.

Perino-you are outrageous too!! Don't be blind! This president sucks and you are unconstituional for following him regardless if we are supposed to support our president. Why would you support someone who ignores the constitution, that is my leader when a man like bush interferes with what our founding fathers created for my own good. Leave Hillary alone and anyone else who is in desent of your dictator! It is AMERICA and we are ALLOWED to desent anyone we please!!!!!!!!!!! Drop the unconstitional crap if he can't even be constitutional. You're absurd for reprimanding someone for using free speech you bush loving lunatic; oh and I don't capitalize his name for a reason; he doesn't deserve it in my book.

Of course the White House is outraged by Hillary's remarks. They're true.

Bush's policies enrich his wealthy cronies and turn the middle class into working poor. His abuse of the military to secure Iraqi oil rights for US and UK oil companies, under the transparent guise of creating democracy in the Middle East would be laughable, if it weren't so tragic.

Give 'em Hell, Hillary!

Hillary you have me in your corner! Let's take on the Right Wing Machine!

This woman is even scarier than her husband. What a NO CLASS ad. Heaven help us if she is elected.

Perhaps the Party is beginning to realize what a loose cannon Ms.Clinton really is. Her attitude, deportment and message are offensive to me and I am a Democrat, a veteran and a prouid American…..many thisngs that the woman will never understand. Please, do us all a favor and remove yourself before you divide the party completely.

The truth hurts!

Hill can say anything she wants without qualify her statements or offering supporting information. What difference does it make which party is in power. They are ALL corrupt, lying, cheats who year after year grant themselves higher wages, 100% health care coverage (for life) and a slew of other benfits that the vast majority of Americans will never afford. Hillary must think she "sees the people" better than most uber-millionaire, lawyer, do-nothing politician.

I am not American. I cannot vote. But I can observe.

What did Ms Rodham Clinton say? "I want America to distribute some basic necessities on a universal basis". Well, what is wrong with that? Most of the rest of the world already does it! And without any money!

Where is Lou Dobbs when I need him? Can somebody please tell me how the middle class have benefited from Bush's Healthcare plan? There are millions of US Citizens "Invisible" to this Administration. White House stop crying foul and move over for a NEW President—Hiliary Rodham Clinton!

"White House Atack's Hillary's New Ad"

Classic Hillary in that this posting on her web site neglects to mention that the White House is simply rebutting her disgusting attack suggesting the President or the country doesn't care about our troops. That must be a real morale booster for those who serve coming from a member of the Senate. Thanks for once again reminding me that it is an embarassment to have you as my Senator!

The Clintons are crooks, self-serving, and very, very unethical.

When is anyone gonna call them out!

Get a grip folks.

The Clintons will try anything to smear anyone. That is what they are known for. Its a pity that a member of Congress would play into the hands of our enemy. But then, again, Hillary doesn't know any other way to play in the sandbox

VanReuter -

Spoken like a true partisan zombie. Way to keep em on the run. LOL.

How cool is that?!? The tall, lanky cowboy-hat totin' man walking in the rural setting with Hillary EVEN LOOKS A LOT LIKE GEORGE H.W. BUSH (Bush Sr.)!!! Woo-hooo!!! Love it! No wonder it got Georgey Jr's blood boiling! Now, even HIS OWN FATHER is against him! Maybe THAT would get his attention, hmmm?!?

Ugh ….Hillary…

I'm a democrat from Arkansas, and I'd be more apt to vote for republican Mike Huckabee than I would for Hillary.

The White House attacks, and so do the anti-Clintonistas. One hopes that they are all foolish Republican supporters of this failed, inept Bush administration.
You know she's got them on the run, when they go after a campaign ad. Thanks for the free publicity, RNC!

Here's a link to the ad:

Senator Clinton is right the Bush administration has done nothing for the working and middle class person and families. He's only interested in helping the rich republicans who follow him and that crowd is dwindling too!! Bush behaves as though he hates us- he cares nothing for what the majority of Americans want… Look at any poll..We are invisible to him and his administration. George just get out of the White House and go back to Texas!! You never really wanted the job any way-for the good of the nation he should just leave now with Rove and take a permanent vacation (take Cheney with you).

I think CNN is also "delighted" the White House highlighted the ad.

I've noticed nearly every Hillary item gets top billing on this political ticker, even after newer items are posted.

Guys, I consider this particular page the one redeeming quality of CNN. Please don't mess it up as well.
