Well, like, you know, I'm a Hillary girl, and, you know, it seemed to be a good question.
Hillary isn't the only one who runs a completely orchestrated campaign. With ten of millions at stake, the Presidency, and their political fortunes all on the line, you can bet every move these people make is planned and monitored for quality control by the people behind the curtains. That being said – this doesn't look good for Hillary.
Do we now see the snake that Hillary is? She can't even answer "ad hoc" questions! What kind of president would she be? How will she appear to other country leaders? Not in our best interest!! Vote for other than Hillary!
Being a 'plant' in such a situation may not be unique to politicians on the campaign trail, but this smacks of desperation. When she was First Lady, Hillary made a failed attempt at her national health plan that sought the support of Congress and spearheaded by committees. When Dems saw the plan for what it was and balked, Hillary told her staff the next step would be to demonize all who refused to support her. I don't think Americans know how desperately devilish and devious this woman can be trying to get her own way.
This is ridiculous. She's definitely an Obama person who was there as a spy anyway, and they're trying to get as much as they can out of this nonesense.
During the YouTube debates, Anderson Cooper chided Joe Biden and his folks in good humor for trying to plant a question during the YouTube debates. To a person all of the candidates laughed it off as part of campaigning. But now, "Oh the humanity"!
They all do it. Obama and Edwards are just flat out liars for saying they don't, and that reason alone would disqualify them from getting my vote.
Hell, Obama's folks are out there reportedly trying to get reporters to delve into Bill Clinton's post-presidency sex life. What hypocrits!
Spell-check Alert ! Spell-check Alert ! Wouldn't it be -
Iowa college students speak out
-----OR------
Iowa college student speaks out
What can I say? Typical of Clinton trying to manipulate questioning from young students. Bill and her are masters of deception and will try to get back into the WH at all costs. She and her staff should be ashamed of themselves.

NO. WAY. An EXCLUSIVE interview with a fat ugly college student?!?! Wow, this story must be HUUUUUGE. Put down the drakes cakes honey and come here, you've GOTTA see this EXCLUSIVE CNN STORY.
Big hairy deal. This kind of stuff goes on all the time in the wonderful world of politics. It's not a criminal act...and this little chick is getting MORE than her 15 minutes of fame. Enough already!
this is a minor infraction? of course to politicians that lie and cheat all day every day this would be nothing!
to someone that is honest this is a lot bigger then they make it out to be.
I am glad she came forward. while I may agree that a lot of the candidates do it. Hillary was campaigning on change, yet her leadership sure doesn't show any change. I guess she isn't as "experienced" as she claims.
I am sure this is just the beginning! can any one tell me if Hillary will ever stand on her own two feet?
Pretty easy to have a huge lead in the polls when all you give people is smoke and mirrors.
why didn't they have her ask a better question?
I can't wait for 8 years of "FEMA" news conferences.
I guess this shows her campaign is all HYPE and NO SUBSTANCE!
Here we go again. I hate the idea of Clinton, again. This woman is so very corrupt. Chinese funnymoney, IDs for illeagals, planted questions... it is just going to get worse.
not suprising. I do not trust Hilary. Hilary is for Hilary. She will step on anybody to get to the White House and screw this country up even more
Ok we have what is suppose to be an intelligent young woman here who was given a question to ask by Hillary's group?Tell me were they holding a gun to the girls head?Was she in some way forced to ask the question they fed her?I think not I think this girl is after her 5 minutes of fame!Shame on these networks trying to make a big deal out of it.We are all aware that it is a practice every one does .Staged events it is just away for a canidate to get thier stand out on a certain subject!!
Deceit and lies – I guess the Clintons are back.
It poses a new question "What didn't she know, and when didn't she know it."
So, how many more days are you going to run this story, CNN?
I HAVE BEEN to a Hillary town hall meeting. She gets MORE than her fairshare of hardballs and ANSWERS each and every one of them! After the meeting, she goes into the crowd and takes MORE questions one-on-one.
Clearly, if the campaign staff wants a certain topic to be addressed during the meeting, they will ask someone to pose the question. It's not as if the question asked does not have merit! It does!
Way to go CNN! Let's try to make the Democratic primary more interesting!
Two hundred hands in the air. Senator Clinton takes 4 questions.
She alleges she had no knowledge that the girl was fed a question. What are the odds?
1 in 50. A two percent chance it was on accident.
Of course, Senator....oh wait, were you looking at your notes when you gave your response? AMAZING. Pardon me while I have a "willing suspension of disbelief."
Makes me wonder how much she is being paid for this "True confession"?
"Senior political analyst?" Bill Schneider sounds more like a spokesman for the GOP. Forget objective, you guys are starting to sound highly biased. Read for yourself (from your latest CNN article):
QUOTE: The Clinton campaign's acknowledgment that it planted a question reinforces a widely held criticism of the senator - that she is not entirely honest, said Bill Schneider, CNN's senior political analyst.
"It's the same criticism often made of her husband," Schneider said. "Most Americans never felt Bill Clinton was honest and trustworthy, even when he got elected in 1992 - with only 43 percent of the vote. His critics called him 'Slick Willy.' ... Will her critics start referring to the New York senator as 'Slick Hillary?' "UNQUOTE
I am a republican,,, Hilary stacked the deck BIG DEAL this truth will not destroy her bid for the white house so GET over it and move on people. there is endless reasons why hillary should not be president but this one is not going to keep her down
