WE SUPPORT HILLARY '08

She's the only one who can actually clean up the mess left by the GOP — NOT dreamer boy!!

Or vote Biden or Richardson b/c God save our country if the newbie gets elected = who isn't even wise enough to realize what he DOESN'T KNOW yet; let alone play pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey in the Oval Office! He should have waited until 2012 or 2016. He's only 47, but he's such a baby that he's demanding to be King now Sadly the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Senator Obama is certainly NOT!!!! AND Oprah should stick with her own life and hawking her Book Club (which she can't even get right all the time either).

JUST SAY NO TO OBAMA IN 2008

Tim, El Cerrito Ca says "What people don't understand is when you insult the clintons you also insult a heck a lot (his grammer, not mine) of their supporters."
Its our fault you support the clintons, or that a 'heck a lot' do?
I don't think so, you have as much right as anyone else to support who they believe in, and if people don't care for the clintons, then I see you take it personally.
Thats your problem, not ours who don't support them.
What the clintons and their supporters fail to realize that not much is being said about hillary being the Commander in Chief of our Military, even by the media, if she is elected.
Its almost like she can run and get elected President of our country, and maybe Americans will forget that she will also be the Commander of our Military.
It just seems to me that our Military members may have a vote in who is elected their Commander in Chief also, and they don't post much, but they vote.
And they need another strong leader, not one that changes and flip flops back and forth, as she did in the issue of this war from day one till present.
If you back her, fine, but there are others voting besides you and her supporters.

He asked Hilary to give him a Hot Carl… NICE!

oh wait.. DUMP me… not DUMP ON ME

Hillary will heal this country. God Bless Her! Clinton 2008!

"It's not you, it's me…"

Niiiiiiiice…

People will say what they, but we have already what it means to have the Clintons in the White House, 8 YEARS OF GOOD ECONOMY AND PROPER HANDLING OF THIS COUNTRY.

Obama can not bring change alone. So please stop blabbering on about how HE can do it. He would NEVER be able to control congress. He is way too inexperienced. He can't even handle his wife playing the race card when he said his campaign wouldn't.

NObama '08 (or ever)

President Bill Clinton is trying hard to see to it that his wife wins the nomination. That's fair enough. The questions are: Is this good for the Democratic Party, the US and the world? The answer is no. Hillary is venomously divisive and inspires so much hatred that she would energize the Republicans to come out and vote against her in their droves. She is very vindictive, calculative and lacks cor convictions. That is why she keeps triangulating and never takes a firm position on any issue.

The best candidate is Barack Obama. Simple. Anybody who thinks Hillary's victory is a FAIT ACCOMPLI needs to look at the facts. She will scare off independents and she is not progressive enough. Edwards is a good man but he lacks the organizational prowess.

Caucus for Barack. Vote for Barack.

Some people think that Obama has no chance facing big pharmaceuticals, while Hillary is the woman to do it.

Hillary surely knows how to mingle with lobbyists hired by big corporations. She called these lobbyists "Good Americans". They donated lots of money to her war chest.

The admiration for Hillary's staying in the marriage after Bill's lifetime of infidelity does not qualify Hillary for the presidential duties. After looking at her Senate records, I am still waiting for Bill's release of his documents for us to verify her qualifications. Bill is not at all interested in the release so he is distracting all of us with his cute stories. He is making fools out of us. He is the most disgraceful former president in history.

So, did all of America, Bill. Then we realized that your marriage was just a tactic in the game of politics and we figured it didn't really matter if she stayed or not.

Now i hope no one relly belives Hillay is an agent of change if you do your nuts. 27 days until the Clinton total melt down. Obama 08 – the real candidate to bring change

Sorry Mr. President, as much as we love you, your wife does not represnt the change our country needs. Obama does. He is the real deal!

To all who are jumping on the president Clinton led a great economic bandwagon need to remember that it was a repub led Congress that kept spending in check. If Hillary care had passed it would have been bye-bye "surplus".

Your post couldn't be anymore wrong. Do you recall that Clinton was constantly battling with the repukes over the budget because of all the defecit spending they wanted, so much, that Clinton grew a pair and actually let the Federal Gov't shut down until the repukes ala Gingrinch gave him a budget bill that was actually balanced and fair.

Let me correct my post of bad spelling :

Roxanne,

Thoughtful post and interesting to read your actual experience, which I haven't read from other posters.

I'm leaning to Hillary though I will continue to research.

I too, have had things like medical insurance go away for me because I can't maintain the payments and still pay back debts incurred from being unemployed last year but not eligible for unemployment.

I too wish for a more stable economy for Americans and for someone who can effectively conduct foreign policy. Bush in my opinion has been a disaster in that area.

I think that the assumption that marriages should end because of infidelity is wrong. Infidelity is human nature and has always existed. So has marriage.

I do agree that this particular story is pretty unfortunate for Hillary's campaign. I don't know what he was thinking when he gave this speech, it's terrible. Maybe his writer was on strike.

As far as what Hillary has done in legislation, it's easy to say "what has she done" without actually doing any research on it.

As far as Giuliani is concerned, everything he says is about the New York Yankees or 9/11. Talk about hardheaded, he's much worse in that category.

I'm a New Yorker who cautiously likes Hillary and does not trust Giuliani.

I also probably will have the luxury of voting for a third-party candidate that aligns more closely to my beliefs.

At least in this election there isn't someone I truly despise (like, for instance, Bush) in either the Democrats or Republicans.

It will be a very interesting to see what happens.

To all who are jumping on the president Clinton led a great ecomont bandwagon need to remeber that it was a repub led Congress that keep spending in check. If Hillary care has passed it would have been bye-bye "surplus".

Hillary is smart, strong and ready. Those who can't see it are blind! We need her international crediblity to regain the respect we have lost from our friends and enemies alike. Her advocacy on domestic issues – education, healthcare, social security – tells you what is in her heart. We are a complex society with complex problems. She will take time and care finding solutions that may take more than a 30 second sound bite to explain. I trust her judgment and her intellect.

Less distraction and disinfo please!

How about a story about all the military secrets and technology the Clintons sold to Communist China?!?!

So the writing was on the wall back then…sounds like Bill's way of telling Hillary to scram. Only with a politician's spin.

Welcome back Slick Willie

But didn't that poll just say that most Hillary supporters are really voting for Bill??

Hillary is all a talk she can con not be trusted and she won't bring any change. in addition to that if she got the nominee she will loos on Mit Ramney if he got the nominee on his party side.
on Hillary is just gonna be 4 or 8 yeasrs of a watst of time rathe than moving america forward and bringing the change we really needed.

Bill no help.. sorry I like you but we need someone who WILL make a differance.

HILLARYLOVER NY NY

Apparently CNN is not deleting only pro HRC comments. I've been trying to get this posted but it keeps getting removed.

How many times does your spouse need to cheat on you before you leave them?
5,10, until you get an STD, AIDS?

Brendan in SA,

The only thing Hillary is entitled to is to run. We the voters will decide who is entitled to win, because that has to be earned. Speaking of being entitled, it is that very attitude (entitlement) that is killing this country. Earning is a better way to go!

What we have here is a man trying way to hard to control a situation that is for the most part "out-of-his-control." It is Tuesday, where is Hillary?

I would vote for Bill right now if he could run again. Sandwiched between the bad times in the Reagan/Bush Sr. 80's and the bad times we have now with baby Bush, there was a time of prosperity when Bill was in office.

It's time for a Democrat again. Let's see what happens to the economy and the budget deficit with someone more responsible in office.

To all the enlightened, right-wing, Hillary-haters:

If George Bush can run and be installed as president, twice, then Hillary is entitled, based on her education and experience, to run and win!

You right-wingers have no respect for intelligence because you continually defend a proven mope and ignoramous!

Posted By Brendan H., San Antonio, TX : December 11, 2007 9:59 am

I can't wait till you post the experience that Hillary posseses that ENTITLES her to be President.

That wording itself says it all.

Lay off the Clinton Kool-aid and focus for a second, good job, this blog has nothing to do with the idiot Bush it is all about the lies that your king and queen are trying to put out as truth.

Billyboy blamed himself previously for the failed healthcare, now it is a badge of honor that "she tried her best" and failed.

This is known as Clintonian speak, where you speak out of both sides of your mouth, take both sides of an issue and change your positions depending on the crowd in front of you.

Someone changing their views over a period of years I can see, but second to second, speech to speech is typical of this "duo".

And for the women that support her and call her strong, Robert, Vivian, LA : December 11, 2007 11:43 am, PUT IT PERFECTLY.

I can understand a spouse working through infidelity once and maybe even twice, but three, four, five times???

Gimme a break! At what point do you go from being a spouse to being a door mat?

Bill said he once told hillary to "dump" him, its our fault she wasn't smart enough to listen to him then and now we are to vote for her?

I happen to admire Hillary for staying w/Bill. It's so much easier to say later than to make a marriage work. A real woman can forgive and look ahead. She has been in a marriage for how many years? How many of us can say this? You make sacrifices in a marriage. She endured. Give her credit for that. That's one reason alot of women support her. Believe it or not.

Billy boy was hopping to get dumped because he was getting some on the side at the time.

Wanted to remove the guilt complex. Oh wait, this man never seems to feel terribly guilty about his infidelities.

Bill is charming, smart, and articulate, but these kind of psuedo-magnanimous statements are getting so, so old.

Ha ha, Think Mary from Delaware would not be completely in support of rounding up white males and putting them in gas chambers? I doubt there are few things in this world that would make such a lib more happy. I bet she still likes to call herself a pacifist too.

There are some conservatives that hate gays and minorites, but that hate is no where close to the hate that libs like Mary have, it is the closest thing in this country today to the feelings in Germany in the 1930's. Yup, years may change but the feelings and views of national socialists do not.

The CBS Poll released yesterday seems to point out the lemming-like quality of the Democratic Party to support a candidate who is not going to win in November 2008. Hubert Humphrey is John Kerry is Hillary Clinton. When is the party going to realize that California and New York are not the only two states in the union? Why does the party hesitate to select the spring of its party in Obama rather then the autumn in Clinton? Why does the party covet the memory of the Clinton White House when in fact it was a failed administration?
I am a lifelong Democrat and it is time for the party to look outward down the road rather than inward to its failed accomodation of true change and growth.

"Hillary got some good news in new general election polls of New Jersey and Connecticut, states Giuliani says he will put in play but where Clinton leads by wide margins. Link."

Having lived in these states and witnessing just how liberal the people here are each day while driving on the roads (totally lack of courtesy which is a staple of conservative Americans), these people who would probably be on board with a mass extermination of every American who is a republican, would vote for Osama Bin Laden or Kim Jong if they ran for president of the United States with a little d next to their name.

"We are going to take things from you for the common good"-Hillary Clinton.

No wonder the party of hate, cradle to grave control of American’s lives, and stealing from others is in love with her.

Hillary brings something that nobody else does (DEM./GOP)…and thinking Americans understand it. Her agenda and campaign are focused: improving quality of life. This includes changing the norm that healthcare is a privilege and not a right in a world class society, the notion of family–not just moral issues–but on real problems that can realistically be aided by clarifying our societies responsibilities to provide childcare/welfare assistance to protect children–and bootstrap programs that improve education and subsequent mainstreaming into productive society. She embraces the idea that simply hoping that religious, charitible, or philanthropic organizations will somehow provide the massive catalyst needed to affect lasting U.S. societal changes–is not enough. Our government has to provide some lead, an agenda, and some financial commitment. This is an agenda for change. The difference in her progressive agenda that is different is the emphasis on "pay as you go" policy. While critics may call this "tax and spend" policies–I don't think most Americans feel that way, particularly when we squander so much on redundant and unnecessarily complex military weapons systems. Designing and redesigning government programs that are already in place–removing bureaucracy, making a commitment to funding streams to sustain the efforts. Yes, taxes may go up for a very small number of Americans in the top tax brackets, and a few corporate loopholes will be plugged so the largest will problem have to pay "some" taxes. But if our economy (businesses and most prosperous entrepeneurs) isn't providing the necessary wages and benefits to their employees to sustain the society, then the government must do something. In a time of record profits–not only are the corporations and entrepeneurs not seeking to improve this unfair trend–most are aggressively seeking off shore employees who will demand even lower wages and fewer benefits. Yep, she is the only candidate who is really progressive.

Thank God we finally have someone running who will tell the truth and not run from their past votes or decisions. For those wanting good change for this country Senator Clinton is the only one who not only has a plan but also has the intelligence and expereince to make that plan come to life. I wish that people would read The Audacity of Hope and the article in the United Christian Century to see what Barack Obama has to say. If you are like me after reading his own material I had more questions about him and his ability to run this country than I did before. With his this country needs less lawyers, yet both he and his wife still hold their license. Makes one wonder….

Seriously, did you get your doctorate from a mail order catalog? Are you practicing in one of those white jackets that don’t allow you to move your arms freely? I don’t understand how any sane person could still want to vote for her. Hasn’t she showed us enough already, or are you waiting for her to cause a nuclear catastrophe? I can see her now “If I knew then, what I know now…” Some of you people just need to get over it. Get over the race and gender issues; if we don’t get it right this time; there may not be a next…seriously!

Obama 08

I have also noticed CNN's willingness to try to cast doubt on Hillary and her supporters. She still has ENORMOUS support from the people no matter what the polls say. Any positive comment about Hillary is instantly deleted. I have given up on CNN as an objective source of news and info. I could honestly see removing posts that are filled with vitriol or outright slime but to remove posts that are favorable to a candidate I am supporting without any cause or reason is simply dispicable.

It's especially annoying when I read so many posts dinigrating Hillary and her service and her marriage–those are allowed but if I say positive factual reasons why Hillary should and will be elected those are instantly removed. Good job CNN for alienating and losing all of the rest of your dwindling viewers.

HILLARY 2008 AND BEYOND!

ps: Hillary supporters don't listen to the nonsense in the polls. Get up and caucus and vote to prove them wrong. She is by far not out of the race. Don't let them tell you otherwise.

Hilary's new campaign theme in Iowa may be "change" but not much from the Clintons has: "Days before his announced retirement from regular news coverage, Brinkley made a rare on-air mistake on election night 1996, at a moment when he thought they were on commercial break. One of his colleagues asked him what he thought of Bill Clinton's re-election. His answer was, 'The next four years will be filled with pretty words, and pretty music, and a lot of expletive nonsense!'"
source: Wikipedia

First, I don't believe Hillary ever said "I love you and I'm not going to run for anything." More likely, she said, "I'm only staying with you because it will improve my chances in 2008 if I am not divorced."

Bill's a slob and she's a shrewd manipulator.

Can we get rid of the word "clinton" once and for all?

Coming from an Arkansan, Hilary scares the daylights outta me. They only have one child because Bill lost an election for Gov. here because he wasnt a family man, so they fixed that. And yeah? what about all the scandals while he was in office as our Gov? There is a woman out there that will be a great president, but its not Hilary.

to Jake, Ottumwa, IA in response to Roger, who states: “Please let me know what has she done as a Senator? What did she do as a First Lady? Please someone send me a list of her accomplishments?”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_clinton

Wow brother! That took me all of 15 seconds!

Wikipedia is prehaps the worst example of a source, anyone can change it at anytimem, whenever you want.
I could go on and make Hillary the worst person ever, easy.
I was a Jedi Knight on wiki for nearly six months just because.
get better sources.

to Roxanne :

Clinton had nothing to do with the economy. nothing at all. America just happened to be in an economic upswing at the time Clinton was in office.
Bush came into office at the verge of ressesion based on the Clinton Administrations economic choices.
To chose a president based on economics is both foolish and a mark of ignorance.
Presidents have no effect on the economy untill they are at the end of their term.
Edwards or McCain for '08.
If they came together as independents though…. one can dream…

To all the enlightened, right-wing, Hillary-haters:

If George Bush can run and be installed as president, twice, then Hillary is entitled, based on her education and experience, to run and win!

You right-wingers have no respect for intelligence because you continually defend a proven mope and ignoramous!

My comment is in regards to the comments about Hillary not being a tough feminist because she didn’t leave Bill. I can’t imagine Hillary is a blind unseeing wife as someone has said. A marriage is a lifelong commitment. That’s not to say that you should never get a divorce but you don’t just throw in the towel. Maybe that would be the convenient thing to do, like many Americans do today. But I see Hillary as a strong women and one who is capable of working through a troubled marriage, even when it is publicized in the spot light of America. Today marriages have problems and infidelity is extremely common. Divorce is also extremely common. Infidelity is never acceptable in marriage, but I do think that working through a marriage that has been unfaithful at times is a commendable accomplishment today while much of our society just walks away from a marriage without an honest attempt to salvage to it. Hillary deserves respect for that. She did not stay will Bill because she is some helpless housewife that just couldn’t find the self esteem or self-respect to leave. I am glad that that Hillary doesn’t just walk away from her commitments, even if her team mate isn’t playing an honest game. Bill did something wrong by cheating on his Hillary; don’t think that every other US president hasn’t done the same thing. Bill did something wrong by lying about it publicly. Had other past president’s affairs been made public, don’t think that they wouldn’t have done the same thing.

This is a riot. Bill told Hillary that being with him would hold her back politically? Is it laughably ironic in here, or is it just me?

"an agent of change"

…that could not even change her own husband..

I have a hard time respecting a so-called strong, independent woman who will stick around and allow her husband to cheat on her numerous times. She's a terrible role model for women.

We're praying for this country.

Hey Kipi from AK-

You say Hillary has done so much for Health Care and Childrens rights. . . . .

Please elaborate! She has done nothing, period. She did try to waste 1 million dollars of taxpayers money to sneak a Woodstock museum past the citizens of this country. Why you may ask. Because the guy who is building the museum contributed to her campaign.

And to the person in NH saying Hillary is running away with the race-

I disagree. I am in every part of NH on a weekly basis. I travel for work. Speaking with your fellow citizens, she doesn't have a chance!

People are sick of her, her husband, and politics as usual. In Southern NH, it's obama country. In Northern NH it is Paul country.

Why does this useless story keep getting bumped up?

But instead, she insisted he buy her a house. They deserve each other..

What a great advisor Hillary will have? What more can you ask for other than a successful ex president as an advisor? Let's do it again Democrats, let's take this country from shambles to prosperity, growth and tolerance.

NOBAMA '08

What I love is that so many of you are dismissing posts that portray Hillary in a negative light simply because they have been written by men. I agree with their disdain for this woman, and I am not a misogynistic white male. Hillary, for all your bombastic speeches about strong and empowered woman, you are nothing but a weak-willed woman who would rather be in the limelight than have the self-respect to leave her philandering husband. What a great role model. I shudder to think that she could be the first woman in the White House…

The Clintons are recognized liars in spoken word….so how can anyone be swayed by their written word in their biographies. Only a fool.

A friend who went to Yale with the Clintons said that they were the same then as now–he brilliant, kind, wanting to be liked, friendly, loved the girls; she brilliant, altruistic (women/childrens causes), politically active, funny, more internally focused, and both ambitious. Why wouldn't they be attracted to each other in a good way? Why all the vitriol? Get a Democrat elected folks! Clinton said recently: "I can ..give you the prettiest speech in the wide world…but it's also important to know how to get from a good intention to a specific result." Get your candidate and go to work!

What a lucky man. He can cheat on Hillary any time he wants, and she won't dump him!
He should be thanking he lucky stars Hillary stands by her man no matter how many times he humiliates her!

Hillary Clinton is the most dangerous person in our country right now. She will say anything to anyone at any given time for a vote. She chooses EVERY single one of her political stances based upon it's ability to net her votes not what she thinks is right or wrong. She is power hungry and has risen from the most corrupt political career going all the way back to Arkansas.

Do the country a favor and do not put this person in office. They are VERY dangerous.

It's interesting that CNN isn't covering Barack Obama's incredible momentum and hmm…maybe the fact that OBAMA IS AHEAD in 2/3 most important early primary states. Check it out.
Posted By Maru, Miami, FL : December 11, 2007 3:41 am

Really? How about the two hour Obama Oprah Campaign show they showed Saturday night? No other candidates have gotten a free two hours to show a campaign rally on CNN. Please, the media is so pro Obama it's not even funny.

Man, these 'comments' are hilarious. Why do I think you're all 'full' of it? The Obama lovers are bad enough, but the Clinton haters are really the worst! Compare Bill and George? Compare a Rhodes scholar and a chimp!

The Bush lovers need to face up: their's is a failed legacy: the economy's tanking, the Middle $ast is aflame, every one hates America even worse than before, after the Bush criminals are gone, revelations of the horrendous things they've done, and crimes they've committed, in the name of national security, will come out and consume this nation for years to come. And who's gonna pardon Bush and Cheney if the Dems control Congress and the White House? Is it possible that we'll see our first jailed administration members since the Nixon days? What a legacy, the most criminal administration since Nixon!

Clinton and Obama in 08!

i can only hope that HRC is NOT what she has been trying so hard to pretend to be, so as to get elected by the majority of the voters who are dumb enough to vote for bush twice. democracy by brainless populace is the worst political nightmare.

I have to admit that though the Clinton marriage is not the best model of a healthy marriage, it is nice to see a successful man and woman together. I know that many women who have high aspirations for themselves worry about having to sacrifice their career and goals in order to be with someone who has equally ambitious plans. I think that these two are good role models on how both people in the relationship can go far, not just one or the other.

The only reason people would vote for Obama is because he is a BLACK male.
The only reason people would vote for Hillary…is because she is a WHITE FEMALE.
End of story…we all know who will prevail!

She should have dumped you!!

Am I the only one that fears that it would be a bad idea to have Hilary in the office because she is related to Bill Clinton? It's like a monarchy with two families taking turns every eight years. I mean, hypothetically, Jeb Bush can run for president after a theoretical Hilary Clinton administration.

Of course, Bill. There's no news here.

The thing I question is why she didn't dump you. I suspect that the reason she didn't is the same reason why Albright, Cohen, and Rubin didn't resign when they found out that they had shilled for a liar. Some folks value power over their own integrity and dignity.

I don't see any revelation here at all.

If Republicans are so family-oriented why are Bill & Hillary catching so much grief for holding their marriage together? Rudy, Fred, Newt and other GOP luminaries could learn from this example.

I believe Hillary will be a great president.
I admire Bill and Hillary for being so supportive of each other. I am proud of them. If she was able to keep her marriage and family strong despite some difficulties in the past I am convinced she can run this country with no problem.
Tell me how you run your household and I will tell you if you make a great president! Everything starts at home…

There are people out there that truly believe such nonsense from this phony. When are we finally going to be through with this lip-biting jerk and his wife?

People love Bill Clinton. But they should not make the mistake of thinking that Hillary is Bill or that a Hillary Presidency would be "four more years of Bill."

Bill ran on the platform of "co-presidents" – that if you "vote for me, you get Hillary free."

But Hillary is strangely silent on this, only saying that Bill might be an "ambassador of good will" whatever that is.

Another fluff piece from the Clinton News Network! Don't you guys know that Hillary is taking money from Rupert Murdoch? Maybe CNN needs to sponsor a different candidate….

Let's see. Three things: one, the more Bill speaks, the more he hurts Hillary; two, a "new change, a new beginning?", now really; three, the "new" strategy can't be because of Obama's recent surge and Hillary's decline. Nah.

why is everyone beating up on this woman for sticking by her husband? i thought that was a family value? generations of women have helped their husbands succeed – that used to be what we did. and new york certainly thought she was an excellent senator.

He gave the same speech in Newton later that day and while it was obviously a partial truth to make a point it was a fairly sweet story to hear in person. That along with other stories he told helps humanize her which I for one needed. I'm still not supporting her but I'm much more likely to give her a chance when I caucus than I would have before.

Hillary's staying with Clinton should tell you one thing: "She doesn't give up easily!" Men have headed the White House all these years and the game of war has continued. It's time for a radical change, elect a woman!

Is anyone truly foolish enough to believe this little soap opera story? Here's a clue on how to determine if a Clinton is lying or pandering….Their lips are moving.

I tend to be a republican voter, but I have to say that I find Hillary the most competent of all the current candidates.
People should read Bill Clinton bibliography "My Life" and her book "Living History" to realize how much she accomplished in life. She had a large role in health care reform in Arkansas and she fought like hell for the universal health care. Only naive
and stupid people could think Obama has any chance in front of big pharma.

So Everyone thinks we should put a muslim in the Whitehouse. This country was on the right track when Clinton was in office. Go Hillary!

And why is this news?????

Oh, you Hillary haters are a gas. These posts are absurd. Unless you have something intelligent to add to the debate, please, clam up!

Hillary can stand on her own merits. For that, I admire her. While I am not voting for her (and I am a Democrat), I think she is a very smart and educated woman. Bill is the real Politician in the family.

This is news? Seriously, I'm taking Bill's advice, but I'm dumping Hillary.

Majority of the Clinton basher are just Republican Operative that are claiming to be for Obama

Too bad the country can't dump both of them. The media is doing all they can to get her elected.

It always strikes me that people can say such 'nasty' things about Hillary & Bill but they have the ability to smile and move on without 'nasty' responses. They do not attack. I would welcome another Clinton in the White House. White males,
get over your prejudice towards women.

Bill-

Let me explain that for you. That is what's called "compassion". As a result of being a human most people have this feeling. In your situation it is due to all of the bad things you have done to this woman. The cheating, the lying and the overall lack of respect. I know, it's hard to believe that all that sex with other woman could be a bad thing, but, sad to say, it is!

This is pathetic…..

Anyone that buys any of this nonsense is a complete moron.

It's been going on for 15 years from these people…..when are you Libs going to wake up?

Wow, more potshots from the peanut gallery (aka, White Men Becoming A Minority). This Dem loves the team you Reps are fielding. Of course, not that candidates who would make terrible presidents can't be elected….

Oh, isn't that just too dear and precious! Do I believe it? Not a word.

If she would have left after his numerous affairs I might have some respect for her. It has been clear for some time they have have a marrige of convenience and stick together for the votes alone.How she can put herself across as a tough feminist in one breath and then as the ultimate blind unseeing wife as he polls any voter in a skirt at the same time has always puzzled me. And frankly always made me respect her less for never taking a stand.

Bill '08!

So Obama said in kindergarden he wanted to be president and hillary jumped all over him for later saying he did not intentioanlly plan on running for president. now we have Bill saying Hillary said she would never run for anything, and wow, this is her 3 time (Senate X2 and now President) running for something. So can we all now "pile on" Hillary for saying something (as an adult unlike Obama as a child) and doing something different? (hmmm, seems to be a trend with her)

The Hillary Clinton Campaign is getting more and more embarrassing. And CNN didn't even cover the Andrew M. Young comment that Bill is "blacker than Barack, and probably dated more black women."
Wow, the old Democratic stalwarts are digging themselves deeper and deeper in a hole.
We need real change… I was unsure before but now I am definitely voting for Obama.

There that famous Finger Point, So You know he's LYING!!!!!!!!!!

Liar

My TV has a great item !!
The remote has MUTE !!!

OH ,, so what we are hearing now is hillary has been hard headed and un changable since way back in her colledge days ???? Isn't that exactly what the dems/libs hate most about George Bush ???? BILL YOUR NOT HELPING !!!

its nice II see the Chief Executive support Hillary so firmly.

I know that CNN is such an incredible news organization and would want to put out critical information to the voters for an election during such a pivotal time in our nations history. Sharing the same sentiment- as a concerned American- here's me doing my part.
Who cares about Bill's attempt to break up with Hillary????? OBAMA IS AHEAD!!

Posters: If your wish is to draw attention to legitimate weaknesses in a candidate's qualifications, and make accurate and intelligent points that will be thoughtfully considered by the reader, it would be best to avoid sarcasm, venom, and name-calling.

Let your comments be civilized, relevant, and true…and you'll get a lot further in your quest to enlighten.

Please, let us all be responsible for elevating the public discourse.

It's interesting that CNN isn't covering Barack Obama's incredible momentum and hmm…maybe the fact that OBAMA IS AHEAD in 2/3 most important early primary states. Check it out.

you.http://www.411mania.com/politics/columns/64871

New Beginnings is a good slogan. I think they should keep it.
The comments on the board before me are by men that do not understand strong women that have their own carreers and can be a partner and wife and mother too. I think they are afraid of her.
It takes a lot to accomplish what Senator Clinton has accomplished so far and she will be an excellent president for us.
Thank you President Clinton (Bill) for speaking out on her behalf. I hope you keep it up.

Huh? This is one BIZARRE couple. Not sure what kind of race they are running now (maybe one of desperation) but it really is time for them to get off the national stage. Maybe they could go on the lecture circuit and tell these stories nobody believes or gives a hoot about.

Strange campaign tactics….

Hillary not smart enought to leave Bill does not bode well for her intellectual attributes. And that is after she was warned?? Oh well the are a matched set and deserve each other. However America Deserves Much, Much, Better than the Clintons Back in The White House. Change is needed and is coming this time around.

Hillary is the best person to be the president among all democrats and republicans currently running.
Our country needs her to be our president.
Hillary '08

“When she got beat, she did what she’s always done … she didn’t fold her tent.”

You certainly were good at keeping your own tent pitched Bill.

Who would be the best president?

Even Bob Dole was better than a Clinton.

Can the Clinton campaign get any more ridiculous?

Vote RON PAUL!

To Roger, who states: “Please let me know what has she done as a Senator? What did she do as a First Lady? Please someone send me a list of her accomplishments?”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_clinton

Wow brother! That took me all of 15 seconds!

your research is good as the writer of this article:

Dropping Oppo
December 10, 2007 6:00 PM

Circulating among Iowa labor circles, I am told, is this leaflet, which looks to be a standard opposition-research paper against former Sen. John Edwards, D-NC.

The shocker? It's from Mr. Positive, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois.

Not that it's a shocker that Obama is drawing differences between he and his opponents. (UPDATE: The Obama campaign says this document came because a local union requested information on the differences between him and his opponents.)

It's a shocker because Obama chief strategist David Axelrod told ABC News that "One of the things people appreciate about (Obama) is he’s not a cheap-shot artist" and this flier is full of cheap shots.

The cheapest shot … that Edwards somehow has something to do with Whirlpool when the company was closing down Maytag plants in Iowa, Illinois, and Arkansas.

Why is that a cheap shot? Because the link is that Edwards worked for the controversial Fortress Hedge Fund while it owned stock in Whirlpool as it was shutting down those plants.

But some argue a far more direct link exists between Obama and those plants shutting down. It's not one I agree with — I think both are silly attempts to link candidates to lost jobs — but I think the one linking Obama to the Crown family to those lost jobs is slightly less ridiculous.

The Crown family — Lester, Renee, James, Paula — have been supporters, fundraisers, and bundlers for Obama.

Lester Crown was on the board of Maytag when it decided to shut down a plant in Galesburg, Illinois, and sent those jobs to Mexico.

In August 2005, Crain's Chicago Business reported that the Crowns stood "to reap an estimated $86 million from the sale of appliance maker Maytag Corp. to rival Whirlpool Corp. After a bidding war, Newton, Iowa-based Maytag agreed Monday to sell to Whirlpool for $21 a share in cash and stock. Maytag has said the Crowns hold about 4.1 million shares."

Shortly after that merger was announced, Whirlpool shut down those plants in Iowa, Illinois, and Arkansas.

Do I think Obama is responsible for the plants shutting down? Nope.

But he should know better than to attack Edwards on the same subject.

People in glass houses in Newton, Iowa, shouldn't throw Maytag dishwashers.

Or something like that.

– jpt

(NOTE: This blog has been updated to reflect the Obama campaign's confirmation that they created the document, and to better convey my skepticism about both charges.)

Let bring back the beautiful and shineness of America..it's just fair to say, we have a candiate who is so well-rounded to bring back these changes and who is well-equipped as an Agent of Change…WE ARE ALL BEHIND YOU HILLARY! CAUCUS HERE WE ARE!

I voted for him twice but this guy has lost all credibility with me. Let's move on.

1) Hillary stayed with Bill even after all the cheating for the sole reason that he could do exactly what he is doing now – keeping her in this election. Their marriage is an absolute sham.

2) Bill's statements in this article are completely false. They make absolutely no sense whatever. Why would dating Bill prevent her from accomplishing anything? Most successful people I know have no problem being married.

He completely made up that story to do 2 things – make it seem like Hillary is more qualified than she is; and make it seem like she was never interested in running for public office.

I don't even know why she is still running. Who still takes her seriously??

I once told the Clinton's to bite me…

she didn't fold her tent? what has she done for 14 years? if she really had conviction and really thought that it was important and not just a POLL TEASER she would have fought harder and done something more in those 14 years, as of yet I haven't seen any reform she has made to Health Care. Was that really the hardest thing of all during the Clinton Administration? or is it now convienently the hardest to help her out? those 2 will say ANYTHING to get back into the White House. They probably like the new china pattern and want to get it.

You know, people who blog on political sites like these do not actually decide elections. They are not that big of a voting block. People who do not have time to blog on the internet, who have kids, jobs, and other activities–Middle-class America is who decides election. Now, I am not saying anything bad about people who blog (obviousily I am a blogger), I am just saying that we people who can blog everyday are not a huge voting block, and those people who cannot are. And am also not saying that people who blog don't have jobs and don't have families, I am just saying the average American does not blog. I am pointing this out because there are a lot of anti-hillary bloggers, and everyone is asking how is she leading when there are no positive blogs about her. That is because the people being polled are the average American (Middle-class); That is why Hillary is leading (although Barack is closing the gap).

I am confident that New Hampshire will go for Hillary. I cannot comment on any other state.

Hillary '08

I was present for Bill's speech in Ames. He was great. The description of his speech lacks all of the wonderful things he said about Hillary and why she is in fact an "agent
of change." Roger, if you want to learn more about Hillary, go to her website at HillaryClinton.com.

I support Hillary, she is a strong leader, and will caucus for her in January.

I tried reading this sorry story 4 times but kept falling alseep. Based on his behavior on the road I will assume it's another dumb statement from an old man with nothing to say…

First of all, Hillary Clinton actually pulled in more money while Bill was Governor of Arkansas. She does not need Bill financially (maybe politically), but definitely not financially. She is an intelligent woman and I think she would make a great president. So would Obama, but for the primaries I am voting for Hillary.

Lets Go Hillary!

Gag!! The Clintons; does anyone really believe what either of them says?

Would there be such mean comments if any other spouse stood up for their candidate? Such emotion. The lady has done alot for health care and children's rights. She has shown finesse working with the other party to reach agreements. More power to her.

The best Bill can do for Hillary is to release the documents from his administration before the primary.

Cute little stories of this public couple won't help her elected. We want hard evidence for us to verify her resume. This is about electing the president of the United States, not a celebrity. Bill is no Oprah.

i have heard that before

i am not good enough for you, leave me….the typical masculine cowardly.
the rest is history

enough of the czarist white house. bush and clinton enough! time to go! sorry hillary you are too late. you should have listened to bill.

first of all,,,though i like "the bill"
he should NEVER support her,,it will only hurt her after the cigar event
he sure screwed things up
you can't even help your wife now bill
leave her alone,,,ALONE

hmmm, first she's in charge of the failed healthcare plan, then he says it was his fault, now he says he had her run with it. which is it really?

This is what America needs, Bill has the American Dream, and its what this country needs NOW. When the going gets tough at home she has shown us lets work at making this work. We will just get tougher, and we will be successful GO HILLARY.

If Hillary had dumped Bill, she would still be on the Board of Directors at Wal-Marts, collecting $1,500 per meeting and flying around in their corporate jet.

Man, Hills, DUMP the loser already!! He's not worth the cash!!

CNN is managing the postings so that they give a certain view. Not necessarily reality. I tried to post something pro-Hillary and they cut it. But I noticed all the negative comments made it. I'm going to stop reading CNN (like I have Huffington Post and DailyKos) if they don't put some objectivity back into their "reporting." What people don't understand is when you insult the Clintons you also insult a heck a lot of their supporters. Their are a lot of us and we're not going to take this kind of treatment from the press. I have always said why can't the press be in the business of reporting the news instead of trying to create it?

Bill take a nap, go play golf, let your wife be the candidate, even though we understand what a charge you get from the campaign trail.

But in all honesty Bill, we are seeing more of your mug in the media promoting HRC than Hillary, what is up with that? From my perspective, you have it backwards, unless of course you really are the candidate … in that case the signage needs to change.

Hillary we are waiting for you to sell us through your own words.

I am not so sure we need another hardheaded President. George W Bush has been hardheaded enough and everyone can see how far hardheadedness has taken this country.

People who posted here didn't understand Bill Clinton's real meaning of the speech. you should read Hillary Clinton's LIVING HISTORY and Bill Clinton's MY LIFE. Roger, IL, what grade are you this moment? I think you need help for your illness.

"I'm not going to run for anything", wouldn't it be great if she went back to this sentiment?! I'd just love not hearing anything about or from the Clinton's ever again.

This is awesome story, Bill and Hillary make a good team, We are very lucky to have those people around,,
Go Hillary!!!!

Spin, spin, spin. Isnt this what we have come to expect from both the Clintons and Bush? Do we need more of it?

Think about it. Why would you reveal one of the most personal moments of your relationship? Especially of one lover trying to dump the other by giving them the opt-out? Bad, tacky, and not believable except if you are digging for spin on a speech.

We soooo need a third party to keep the Dims and NeoCons honest.

Alittle too late Bill. You could have come clean alittle more earlier. I am sorry but go and hide…..

All these comments will never negate the fact that Bill is the greatest politician of this generation. Move over Regan! Giuliani will never take New York which happens to be the sate that knows him best. Go Hillary!

Hilary has been fighting since 1973 OMG, she needs a rest, it ain't working

So for her is a slogan? Is what people are looking for not what is coming within…Get warned!

Actually, Ken, Hillary had a higher salary than Bill for their entire marriage up until he was elected to office. You must not know that she is an attorney and made lots of money on her own and worked quite hard for it.

The more Bill talks about the past the more Hillary seems like a part of the past.
Unfortunately for her, most of us want a change for the future.

In all fairness, he claims that he said this to her when they were first dating. They met at Yale Law. She wasn't coat-tailing anything then, as he wasn't wearing a coat at all.

My wife insists that if you polled Black voters, you would find that they truly believe Bill Clinton is Black. This is based on his behavior (the basis, I always thought, of the phrase, "Bill Clinton was our first Black president."), on his hair, and on Chelsea's appearance. My wife has friends who do believe Bill is Black. A poll in South Caroline might be revealing.

Oh my gosh, now that really makes me want to vote for Hillary…NOT! It's obvious that these 2 have been scheeming to get into the White House with their little just live-together farce of a marriage for decades, ever since she "chose to not dump him". No wonder they only had 1 child. No wonder he had multiple affairs. No wonder she seems cold hearted unless a camera is on her for a photo-op. These 2 just want to be in the History books as firsts at any cost and they'll step on anyone in order to get there (remember Vince Foster?). The Clinton's had their 8 years, they've been there, done that. It's now time to change dynasty's (Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clintonot) and get some fresh air in the White House. Bill's grossly abused that office enough anyway. The oval office deserves RESPECT!

Hey Bill, if she is the most gifted person you ever met, why did you cheat on her once, twice, three, however many times and counting?

"Bill Clinton said Monday he was so impressed by his wife when they first started dating, he once tried to convince her she should dump him and focus on a political career of her own."

LOL!!

If Hillary had followed his advice, she would be nowhere today.

Is Bill trying to say that Hillary is NOT powerful because of him?

Really, Bill. We know you are famous for stretching the truth, but this stretch has just caused a break!

Wow what a convincing argument to vote for her!

Why don't I believe that cute story? And, is it just me or do those supporters look uninspired?

Someone really should lock up Bill for the next month. He is not helping Hillary.

Posted By Indianapolis, IN : December 10, 2007 9:19 pm

they sure look like paid supporters to me,

He asked her to dump him, but she saw in him her road map to power and fame, so she hung in there despite his constant womanizing. To her, the end justifies the means, and if he cheats, then she has to be rewarded by him somehow. This explains why he is the first male politician who is actively campaigning for his wife for the highest political office. Maybe if she had dumped him, as he asked, we wouldn't have to now be dealing with Part II of the 'Two For The Price Of One' Clinton political circus that first hit us in 1992.

Bill the American public doesn't really care about your "oh, honey" stories from the 1970s. I know I am more interested in why Hillary stayed with Bill. Bill has admitted/ has been accused of infidelity and/or sexual harrassment at least three times, publicly. What true woman of strength and integrity would continually tolerate this type of behavior and disrespect?

"Ultimately, the former president said his wife’s vision for governing made her ready to lead in this moment. “It’s one thing to have good intentions and another thing altogether to change people’s lives,”"

His/her vision, our nightmare.

What has she changed in proples lives?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Sounds like he's wishing she had, but the claws of time have worn thin for him……..

Imagine that, the polls say something and Hillary tries to morph into that "something".

With the polls starting to favor Obama, I can't believe she hasn't changed her last name yet.

Obama '08

Wow! Smart and vionary! She realized that if she left you, this biased and subjective justice system we have would not have awarded her half of the assets she didn't work for. Just a thought…

“would be wrong for me to rob her of the chance to be what I thought she should be."

Did he just use the George Castanza "…it's not you it's me…" line?

Why don't I believe that cute story? And, is it just me or do those supporters look uninspired?

Someone really should lock up Bill for the next month. He is not helping Hillary.

This is making me sick.

So she is qualified to be President because she didn't leave you?

Please let me know what has she done as a Senator? What did she do as a First Lady?

Please someone send me a list of her accomplishments?

What is next? I once told her to break up with me because I cheated on her?

And if Hillary had any respect she WOULD have dumped Bill by now. What woman with a healthy self-respect would stay with a man she KNOWS has cheated on her multiple times? Honestly, this woman is a piece of work. She only stays with Billy because she's had her little pretentious eye on the White House for years, and she knew the only way people would listen to her is if she had Clinton as her last name. Shameful.

come on did he really think a coat tailer would dump him, he was her meal ticket. I love that she said that she wasn't going to run for anything (the Clinton campaign would jump on that) but she said that it was because she is too hardheaded……….BINGO she should take her advice and not run for anything. Nobody wants a leader that "knows" everything, her problem is that she really thinks that she does AND has all the answers. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

I got this letter in the mail and I hope someone can say true or false to it. It states the Clintons had a Christmas tree while in office and they made the workers decorate it with "adult toys". I know how it sounds on the outside, but has anyone heard this? Can it be debunked? If not, I guess it's true. It did come from the FBI.

I also think that Hillary Clinton will make a wonderful president. But she will taking office in one of the worst if not the worst time in the history of the country.
She will inherit an unbelievable big national debt. She will inherit an unnecessary engagement in a foreign country that was stupid to invade in the first place. She will inherit a country that has lost its prestige by a president that thinks he is the ruler of the world and if a country does not dance to his tune, then they are hiding, training, and exporting terrorists, weapons, and have to be stopped.

BILL we really dont want to hear this.

Were was she going no one is going to marry Satan!

Nice to know that he was asked to be dumped. Well, now enough of those jokes. Because if he happens to snap again at this moment, he will still not get dumped. Bill is not just a major asset to the Hillary's campaign; he is its life and without him she is history.

"She laughed at me, and said, 'First I love you and, second, I'm not going to run for anything, I'm too hardheaded,’” he said.

How many times has she been justified to dump you, Bill?

These are the kind of lies that make the Clintons look unbelivably trustworthless. How can someone ask to be dumped by a worthy person? Are we not all attracted to people we can rely on for our defficiencies? Would Bill come out and tell us that Hill is not a good wife if in deed she is? Hay Bill, you can do better than that. No wonder why Obama is getting all the credits for being honest.

MY NEW CITY DUMP IS NOW OPEN!!! TAKE THE HINT HILLERY!!-LMAO

"She laughed at me, and said, 'First I love you and, second, I'm not going to run for anything, I'm too hardheaded,’” he said.

That's what they all say, until they taste the corrupting power, the thrill of control, like a Blitzkreig on the roll, it's the sweetest taste I know!

Bill we know Hillary is a smart woman so that some of liberal women and man doesn't like her. AS right wing left wing has same hate problem.

Hillary you have done so much and it will pay off.

I wonder how many public opinion polls Hillary had to consult before telling Bill, "I love you" all those years ago.

They are trying to act like the all-american family when Bill continually cheated on his wife with her knowledge and she still did nothing about it. And now of all things, one of the many former mistresses may vote for her. It's like a Jerry Springer episode.

Seriously this is news worthy, wow cnn way to tell us the important story's of the day. Where did the most trusted name in news go?

Yeah Hillary! Hillary is the best choice for President. She has vision, intellect, a firm grasp of national issues, and guts! Come on Dems….let's elect a winner and a fighter! We need her!

Hillary got some good news in new general election polls of New Jersey and Connecticut, states Giuliani says he will put in play but where Clinton leads by wide margins. Link.

I defintely know the answer and it certainly DOES NOT resemble any such nuance, or slightest hint of the name CLINTON. (I remember that disgusting wagging finger.)

Rudy 08

she should have. then we wouldn't have this parasite unleashed upon us.

'hardheaded' that says it all and confirms that william is trying to sabotage his roommate.

She should have dumped him. The guy is a cad and a flat out philanderer.

“Who would be the best president? I think you know the answer.”

Barack Obama

""She laughed at me, and said, 'First I love you and, second, I'm not going to run for anything, I'm too hardheaded,’” he said."

And if Obama had said that, would the Clinton campaign claim that he is now a flip-flopper? I bet so. After all, they are attacking him on the basis of what he told his kindergarten teacher.

Who will be the best president?
Hillary the queen.

We love you, Bill, and your wife!
Clinton, 2008!

I do know the answer – your wife for sure!!!!! Plus we get you back!!!!

So no ambition in her. No wonder her polls are going down. Thanx Bill for letting me know.
Obama 08!

“It’s one thing to have good intentions and another thing altogether to change people’s lives,” he said. I think he was talking about all of his woman. Keep talking Bill and remind us of why not to vote for your wife

I believe Bill and Hillary were predestined to be. It was his destiny to be our President and I believe Hillary is predestined to be our next President. As Christians believe, God has caused all things to be. As I have said previously said, her election is a FAIT ACCOMPLI.

Yes Bill. We love both you and Hillary.

Hillary08!

Too bad she didn't keep her word that she wouldn't run for anything.

Yes, I know who would be the best president. It is Hillary!!!! Go tell everyone Mr. President.

Hardheaded is one word for it…

Every time Bill Clinton opens his mouth – he hurts Hillary's campaign.

"I'm not going to run for anything, I'm too hardheaded", says Hillary.

Why then did she run for Senate and now the Presidency?

Bill Clinton then says, "When she got beat, she did what she's always done…"

Oh really? Here 10 days ago, Bill, you were saying the failure of Healthcare Reform was YOUR failure. Now you say "Hillary got beat"??

Typical Clinton-Speak.

He was telling Iowans, why is this important to me down here in Massachusetts. Clintons would bring in any sheet to get elected. Unfortunately it is becoming so hard for them….

Sorry Bill. I don't see that your wife would make the changes this country needs. After all as you said she mentions being hardheaded.

Translation: Unwilling too listen to the outcry in this country of citizens deserate for change.Unwilling to give the lobbyists the boot. Unwilling to make the tough choices for making the average citizens life better. Unwilling to even control your campaign members attacks then you sure won't be getting any changes thru congress.

Hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Yes, I know the answer too. It is Hillary. Not because she's a woman, not because she's married to Bill Clinton, but because she is the best chance for America to get back on their feet and she will lead us and give America back their respect around the world. The only fear is fear itself.

Billary still hasn't had experience running any municipality. Senators don't make the ideal Presidents, so shouldn't we focus on the top experienced people who actually show results from their decision, not the politicians who sat in the Senate and debated and voted (or didn't bother to vote, as is the case w/ Obama)?

As an independent voter who was pro-Clinton up until 1996, I say Bill and Hillary camp are toning down there direct attack rhetoric on Obama, since they see it hurting them day-by-day. Hmmm…Bill Clinton defending his wife politically, that's no surprise. To bad you were not more into her during the 1980s and 1990s while you were engaging your infidelities and sexual harrassment cases. The fact that any knowledgeable woman would listen to Bill Clinton beyond 2000 is just incredible to me.
