Since she flew in an plane, can she now add "pilot" to that vast "experience-packed" 35-year resume of hers?

I completely agree with the statement made by the sender named "Bill": "Ok, on her own airplane she can't let her hair down and show a lighter side to all of this non-sense? It seems that all of the Hillary bashers on here are a bit fearful of something huh? Maybe that she is in fact the best choice for president and all of the Hillary bashers with their lil weenies and no balls can't handle a woman. Not that it should matter but I am a male. and fully supports Hillary CLinton". WELL-SAID!

Regarding the comments from "flight attendant, northwest airlines": You must be delusional to imply, by any means, that Hillary was disrespectful towards flight attendants!

As other participants of this ongoing discussion have said, I hope the Hillary haters will stop their non-fundamented accusations, which are NOT based on intellectual and political issues, and start discussing what really matters to this country: the troubled economy, our decadent health insurance, the crisis in the educational system, and the war in Iraq, just to name a few.

I am really startled by the diatribe towards Hillary.Why does she evoke so much hatred?I guess even the pundits can't honestly answer that question.
I do not like Obama…in fact ,I heard his wife speak at a smalltown meeting in New Hampshire and was greatly impressed with her spontaneously delivered
message of hope.
I do not look for a message of hope.While I am concerned about tomorrow for my grandchildren,I am much more concerned about the realities of actually getting,safely,to tomorrow.Everytime a citizen votes,it is with hope.The difference between the votes is the confidence one places in the candidates.
If the same hatred were put forth towards Obama,who wouldn't be called a 'racist' on the face of it.?..
Obama speaks in a constantly hesitant voice seeking the words of placating generalities…never of a specific plan beyond 'hope'.
I am in total agreement with the Edwards proposition that the press does ignore him at the expense of his message of populism.While he may seem to be a
hollywood made up drawl at times..he has the only message that resonates for me.
But I certainly will vote,and advocate for ANY one besides any repulican,the party that is completely unaware of nothing beyond its' own pockets of total greed.
Well…maybe Ron Paul…who I disagree with on several issues…but who is
H O N E S T.What a very rare quality.

I think I need an air sickness bag.

This was basically another venue for Mrs. Clinton to slam home all her favorite talking points, disguised as a cutesy photo opp.

"The most experienced candidate"…without any specifics or results to show for it.

"War without end"…that she voted for and endorsed.

Please show me the emergency exits. I want off.

As a flight attendant, I was not happy to see this video. What we do everyday in the air is important and not a joke. I did support the Clintons, but have now decided not to follow through. This is really disappointing on many levels. Working for an airline is not a joke. As a woman, I would expect her to have a little sensitivity about her actions, instead she decided for another photo moment to support her campaign and make light of a job that I do everyday.

I think she has some mental problems.

Ok, on her own airplane she can't let her hair down and show a lighter side to all of this non-sense? It seems that all of the Hillary bashers on here are a bit fearful of something huh? Maybe that she is in fact the best choice for president and all of the Hillary bashers with their lil weenies and no balls can't handle a woman. Not that it should matter but I am a male. and fully supports Hillary CLinton

Obama thinks Ronald Reagan was a good president. No thanks!
Hillary, I saw it on the news tonight, it was cute! Go Hillary!!

This is ridiculous, an obvious attempt by her staff to give Hillaryr sense of humor with this lame flight attendant script. Jeers to CNN for writing this fluff piece.
Vote for someone who has not done a complete 360 on their personality lately.
Go Barack Obama!

Go Hillary!

BLACK PEOPLE WAKE UP. PLEASE READ ABOUT CLINTON AND HER GOLDWATER DAYS: Young Hillary Rodham answered that challenge the next year as the 17-year-old class president at Maine East High School in the Chicago suburbs. She described herself in her memoirs as "an active Young Republican" and "a Goldwater girl, right down to my cowgirl outfit." As a politically attuned honor student, she must have known that Goldwater was one of only six Republican senators who joined Southern Democratic segregationists opposing the historic voting rights act of 1964 inspired by King. Hillary headed the Young Republicans at Wellesley College as a freshman before defecting to the Democrats there. But when in 1969 at age 22 she was the first Wellesley student to deliver the commencement address, she did not place civil rights first. She talked about a demonstration in Founder's parking lot at the college that "protested against the rigid academic distribution requirement" and supported "a pass-fail system" and "a say" in "academic decision making." That was not quite Martin Luther King's agenda. THIS WOMAN IS NOT FOR US. THIS WOMAN IS FOR HERSELF. NOW: How can she support Dr. King and Goldwater (segregationist) in the same year. They stood for total opposite things. If you black people (and yes, I am a black female), don't start reading and getting educated about the Clintons, you are gonna find out the hard way, that in her blood, she and Bill are republicans. They know that without dumb black people like Magic Johnson and Bob Johnson, they don't stand a chance. We can tell them NO. We have the power, and in this election, BLACK PEOPLE, WE ARE THE MAJORITY. WE can stop them. I challenge each person supporting Clinton to read about her history. She said she would answer questions, she said to inquire about everyone running, so let's inquire. Ask Bill about Fulbright. Don't be afraid of their answers. Don't be afraid to watch them squirmish and come up with some good excuse for this.

she would do a better job playing anything but presedent

I should never have read these "comments". It sucked some of my work time. I admit though, I was captivated, not by the content mostly but by the high emotionality & irrationality of the Obamaphiles. When the media likened Obama's "popularity" to "rock star" status, now I see what may have prompted it. The b&w film footages of shrill, screaming girls awaiting the arrival of Beatles came into my mind when I read some of the comments by Obama supporters. Yet, I get the impression that the "support" for Obama is based mostly on his "likeability" & "personality" and not on the substance of where he stands on issues of national importance. What is his plan to bring "change"? Such rhetoric & slogan is the same old stuff every 4 yrs. In 2000, it was "We can do better."

Hillary is a tough lady & she has proven this over the "35 yrs". I respect her for that reason especially in light of what she had to endure on her campaign. Compared to her, Obama does not seem so tough. Maybe that picture of him in speedos at the beach was a bad idea on his part.

armand January 17, 2008 9:51 am ET

"She's going to be a flight attendant after Obama beats her here Nevada. We Culinary workers will bring him the victory and he will double our pay when he becomes president and make everyone a legal immigrant and protect our rights!"

You culinary workers of NV are only 60K. You, armand, are the reason why American majority would not elect Obama. He's viewed as too much to the left & to win the red states, dems need a moderate/centrist. Most immigrants (legal/illegal from south of the border) are here on account of Reagan's amnesty & the Republican hypocrisy thereafter. Majority of Americans are against amnesty and illegal immigration. Is no one connecting the influx of illegal immigrants during the Bush admin to the current state of economy with the recession looming? Ok, outsourcing & subprime & gas prices are major factors too but seems to me that illegal immigration is up there. Much of subprime woes in CA is in direct correlation with home purchase by the illegal immigrants.

Most mexicans dislike blacks and vice versa. Just look at L.A. I highly doubt that many Californian hispanics eligible to vote will be voting for Obama. If Obama indeed becomes dem presidential candidate, we may have another 4 yrs of republican white house & dem congress where nothing will get done. I personally am not that thrilled by the dem candidates but America needs a dem in the white house. Of the two, Hillary is more qualified than Obama, period.

For some of the comments i have read i think some people should think before they talk. I don't want another election like 2000 when the votes were not counted and run into war. Also for the people who like Hillary keep up the good work, that is to say you want the country to go forward and not backwards and on the other hand for the people who like war i think thats evil as in upsetting i want peace don't wait for something to happen to say (Oh god) it just might be to late and please stop the hate and vote for Hillary for 2008.

Laurel January 17, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Love your comment and agree with you 100%!
Go Hillary! Thank you for all you have done. You have my admiration and respect.

Oh, isn't that so sweet of Hillary. Just another ploy so she can try to look human. Must be another publicity stunt to show she's such a kind, caring, wonderful, considerate, gentle person. Gosh, I feel the tears flowing now. Wonder when we'll start seeing all the friends and relatives start showing up again telling everyone within earshot what a kind, caring, wonderful, considerate, gentle person Hillary is. And you all thought Mother Theresa was an outstanding person. She doesn't hold a candle to Hillary. I understand the Catholic Church is about to make her a Saint; Saint Hillary the Wonderful!! Be still, my beating heart!!

Well done, Hillary. You can quit your day job (campaigning) and go work for any airline at any time. What a crock! Do you REALLY think you are cute and entertaining? Your husband offers better favors than you and would probably land the airline job before you.

Whose idea was this ad anyway? GAG!

How delightful. Senator Clinton is showing us her personality and I think that's wonderful! You don't have to be stern all the time in life and to see her real human side was refreshing. GO HILLARY!!!!! I behind you either way.
Sandra

OMG.. is she really that desperate? I'm actually starting to feel sorry for her. Does she really think that intelligent people would find that funny? And, why does she keep talking about her experience? She has much less experience in government than Obama does. Or, do you think that we should really be counting her years as first lady as experience? I don't think so! And, what's with Bill getting all angry at reporters? Is he running for president again? Give me a break!

I seriously think Hillary's campaign pays people to write postive comments about her on blogs, such as this….LOL scroll up to look at some of the comments….her appraisal looks completely ridiculous….i fail to believe actual voters would praise a calculative, cannivying, two-faced woman like Hillary who believes in disenfranchising voters when it works against her.

Frankly4Hillary January 17, 2008 11:38 am ET

I greatly respect and admire Mrs. Clinton, and I fundamentally believe that she is the most qualified candidate to run this country. It's also nice to see that she has compassion and, albeit silly, a sense of humor, which is so unlike our current President and many of the other candidates (with Mr. Obama being another exception). I have already voted her by absentee ballot in California. Go Hilary, and I look forward to saying "Madam President" in 2008.
——————–

No problem Frankly, I have already voted against her on my absentee ballot. And if she wins, I also look forward to calling her my-dam president

Same people every day log on to bash Hillary.

You people are sad!

Loved it! She's amazing.

Hillary has my vote!!!

Dear Everyone
the HILLBILL dynasty is desperate, hungry for power, and want not only a third term, but a fourth for their daugther………..
MMM, I would not call it friendly skies and please lets be real, while she might be joking, she is not funny, not at all….
Oh HILLBILLYS,you are showing your true colors slowly but surely, and the whole world watches this woman who can not stand it see others get in her way………

This proves she has a sense of humor. Go Hillary Go. You have my vote.

We have a war going on and soldiers dying each and every day and she's 'playing' at being a flight attendant? I would think that she'd be using her time on the plane to focus on important matters that concern the American people.

We need a statesman as president not a comedian.

Obama '08

Why is this a news story?

Upon hearing for the umpteenth time that Hillary has the most experience because she was in the White House for eight years, Dick Morris had THE best reply.

"Well, so was the pastry chef…"

Great… next she's going to tell us her husband was a pilot for eight years, and she saw how everything was done. Heck, she even sat in the co-pilot seat once. She has "experience," she tells us.

Now she wants to pilot the plane.

No thanks. Buuuuh bye…

"Experience"

To quote Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I still prefer the "Hilly-Copter" tour in Iowa and the crying over her hair.

So are we going to rename ourselves "Clinterica" or the "Pink House" if she wins? I mean come on…. first Bill goes on the attack and shows how nasty and vindictive they can be, and the Hillary lays on the softer side and cries to win some votes.

How fake can one couple be?

To Jenny, Paxton, MA

Your from MA you guys are the worst voters in the country Ted Kennedy, Dukakis, John Kerry Duval " I need a Caddy" Patrick. Nobody can afford to live there because of taxes Mass. has more people leaving then any state in the country.

Enjoy the new drapes in the Governors office and please dont move to NH we have all ready taken in more people from MA then we wanted. You people from MA are going to kill NH next. Please Dont Vote………

I Love Hillary, she is funny, to an extent, luckily i'm not voting for joker-in-chief…

She is sailing…and strong-minded. I think she is going to pull through.

Go Hillary!

"And she told passengers that if they looked out the right of the plane they would see an "America saddled with tax cuts for the wealthiest and a war without end,"

Hillary - how can you be in two places at once?

Aren't you exceedingly wealthy? Didn't you vote favorably for the war? If you'd like to make things right and hand out some of the tax rewards you're saddled with we'll be happy to line up for that. Maybe you're spending it all on a time machine so you can go back and vote against the war from the start.

Clinton, seeming to read off a provided script, added, "that in the event of an unexpected drop in the poll numbers" the plane would be diverted to New Hampshire.

Scripted, just like everything out of her mouth. At least Bill can make up the BS off of the top of his head. In 2000 Republicans voted for a guy because he shared the same last name as their last president.

KUCINICH 08

How much experience does a preidential candidate need? Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Colin Powell had between them more than a hundred years experience in government service at the highest levels. Yet they sent the U.S.A. to war in Iraq. We need a Change, not experience.

So now she can quit her day job? plz???

because and from all the responses here in this comment section, i believe hillary clinton will be elected the next president . because she is it. like it or not.

On second thought, maybe it is news that Hillary can be funny. I'm sorry CNN. Good Job! It went over my head at first but now I get it. So clever of CNN.

-CDR

I see all the Hillary bashers are out today!
You go, Hillary. The silent majority is for you!(*smile*)
Hillary in '08!!!!

I now know why once in awhile you get the same comment from a person twice, you set in moderation so long you just try again.. Guilty

CNN,

This is not newsworthy material. It is political propaganda and essentially a calculated ploy to give the candidate character sense human character lacked in this weeks earlier debate.

-CDR

So when Hillary raves about how much experience she has because she spent 8 years in the White House, just remember, so did the pastry chef.

I think it's exactly correct, most Americans are trapped in a war without end, and housing crisis, medical crisis and the most experienced are necessary to work us through these crisis's. Not just everyone saying we need change, because all candidates say that, but Senator Clinton has a proven record of working for people.

I really feel she is someone that you would want to know and a good example for young women and girls, to be a strong leader, a strong woman and person. I'm glad she is showing a little of her own personality. She is really likeable.

Lighten up, people. I think this was fun and a nice break from the past few weeks. I think it is funny and creative.

Honestly, I supported Bill Clinton is both of his runs. I do believe these two have become the most power hungry politicians on the planet - or at least the part that is English speaking? I am a long time, registered Independent and for the life of me - I am totally baffled by the current Clinton support. Bill Clinton is not on the ballot, folks. I am of the same era as Hillary Clinton, so I know what she has had to battle for women's rights. As a professional woman - I have been there and one that, too. But, Hillary? It's over, honey. Get the chip off of your shoulder. You are not Bill, you are not funny, you have no record to speak of that you can call your own, you are status quo - too decisive. It will never work with you in the White House and not because you are a woman, Hillary. Simply, you are too arrogant and you have lived in a bubble way too long. No originality. Every part of your campaign has been a take off from Obama's or Edwards'. Personal for you? Change for us? Zero originality. I am amazed that you have the support that you do and can only derive that these folks think that a vote for you, is equating to a third term for your husband. Do we want Bill Clinton for a third term? I do not. Enough is enough. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton? Come in Toyoko? And I certainly do not think you have the experience and the heart to lead us as a busted nation. Wake up America, before it honestly is too late.

Bernie Moore-Knowles
Papa'aloa, Hawai'i

Ryan in Indianapolis:

You are wondering if Hillary is human. Good grief, Obama is so fake and arrogant it is similar to Bush. When he is holding a rally there is someone there to announce him like a rock star? You young people beat all.

Hilllary 08

and if they looked out the left they would, "see an America with a strong middle class at home …"

What a joke! We won't be home. We'll be working two jobs to pay our increased taxes by the power hungry left. And, wishing our troops were back in Iraq fighting the terrorists rather than inviting the terrorists here with our wimpy view of the situation.

Can she be original for once? She copied President Bush on this one.

Hillary is AMAZING.

ha.

i can not wait until she is president!

Hillary 2008!

Cute…to bad it's a lie, she isn't more experienced, Obama is is more experienced. She admits she is on the left…finally.

She and Billy boy use seperate plans to get around…who pays for this by the way? The libs want you to think there is a global warming isse, when there isn't. She wants to tell you how to live and the rich like her and Bill don't have to change there lives, but they want us to do this. A load of crap it sounds like to me.

they preach one thing and do another, they are above all what they say for us to do. Typical Clinton ideas. She is a crook liek her husband.

One question, why do they take seperate planes?

Go Obama!

A charter jet? I thought she traveled with middle class folks on a good ol cramped commercial 737 with babies crying and people snoring. :)0)

Say goodby to that nice strong middle class.
Her husband helped to wipe 'em out !!!

Oh my goodness….this is not really about America isn’t it??? Talking about some people EGO…it really makes me sick!!!!

Neither Hillary nor Obama can win the general election. Democrats need to concentrate on the one candidate that can beat any Republican nominee, and that is John Edwards. Let's not lose sight of the ultimate prize, which is taking the White House in 2008!

THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING - WE SEEM TO BE LOOSING ALTITUDE ON HIL-FORCE-ONE… MAY DAY MAY DAY.. PLEASE BRACE FOR A CRASH LANDING IN LAS VEGAS - MAY DAY MAY DAY…..

HA HA OBAMA 08

Not only are some of you tacky and mean spirited but you are chauvinists also! She is a very good candiate and calling her names just shows what an idiot you are.
She isn't renaming Air Force One she is naming her plane! SO where is your sense of humor? Scares me that you will actually be voting.

Go HILLARY 2008!!!!

Bah, Humbug to all you naysayers!

This woman is the real deal. I absolutely love her! I also like Senator Obama, however, feel that at this point in time, Hillary has what it takes to be Commander-in-Chief. Whoever the nominee is, we Democrats as well as Independents should all help this country extricate itself from the abyss Dubya has thrown us into. I went into a state of depression 7 years ago… 7 years seems like 17!

Go Hillary!!!!

I knew this would be twisted!! I am a democrat, and for any democrate to say they would vote for one of these republicans is sickening. Don't get me wrong I have voted for a republician. But, the choice was Regan. Remember all of us cross over democrates? In retrospect I wish I hadn't. Remember when we could deduct the interest we paid on credit cards ,automobiles, etc. off our taxes? Guess which president got that taken away. Don't forget the 19% interest rate on a home loan. The president who taxed us the most, was none other than Ronnie. Not to mention Iran Contra, Regan probable didn"t recall this or that, but you can bet Bush Sr. did. Talk about lies,shredded documents, Oliver North and others.

January 17, 2008 1:36 pm ET

I don't understand how Obama supporters, supposedly inspired by a campaign based on positivity and hope, can be so plainly hateful to Hillary on a mostly personal level. Next time have as much class as the candidate you're trying to defend. Stop dividing the party at a time when we need unity the most.
________________________________________________

C- you hit nail right in the head. Obama supporters are supposedly filled with all this hope and inspriation which is suppose to be something good however all they spew is Venom. Is that sign of united america. Not really look like lot of these people need to see a shrink.

morally bankrupt ones always try their best to prove that they are not the only bad ones. you know, they have to pull others down to their level, so that they can go on with their pathetic shameless ugly life. they project their corrupt ideas on everyone around them. you can easily pick those out of these commentators…. this time around, let's hope they are the minority.

I support Obama, but I think this was a good political stunt. She was directing it toward the onboard reporters, so this was a clever way to manipulate them into providing some additional coverage of her.

All is fair in love and politics. As an Obama supporter, I am willing to give credit where credit is do to the Clinton camp. This was a clever media attention gathering stunt that they came up with.

I see all the Hillary bashers are out today!
You go, Hillary. The silent majority is for you!(*smile*)
Hillary in '08!!!!!!

Hey Hilary supporters, in the Nevada debt she was asked about foreign powers buying US debt i.e. Citibank. She said we need more oversight, we need to know more of what’s going on. All she had to do is walk 10 feet and ask her own political strategist Mark Penn who is part of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority which is purchased part of Citibank this fall!! The Clintons have support a one world government, bank, economy, and military for decades. Go Away Hillary!!!

Bob - Seek help for your disgusting comments!

OBummer can joke about Pres Bush being "on time" and get a good laugh, and it's okay, but Hillary does something funny and she gets trashed for it.

WAKE UP PEOPLE! If you don't like Hillary, quit READING about her!!!

CLINTON '08 '12

the necessary things WILL get done unless some of the same morons that voted bush in twice are going to vote again for another moron they can relate to… i'm not too optimistic any more, you know, fool me once etc…

Hill Force 1?

Good way to remind people your from capitol Hill and it's number 1 champion in the race.

I can hear Hillary now" I did NOT have sexual relations with that man" LOL LOL LOL.

Thank goodness that I am Canadian…. This is more entertaining than watching 2 polar bears mate… on second thought, maybe it isn't.

Good luck solving problems my friends to the south, a bit more focus on the REAL issues (not necessarily the ones the media focuses on) and turning around the US economy might be possible… if not, how do you say thank you in Cantonese again?

Jesus, people. Get a sense of humor. If you can't laugh at it, don't read it.

Just from all the irrational comments about Hillary here, it'll be a riot to know how hysterical you Reich-wingers are going to be when she's running this country and returns accountability to the government. Put the grownups in charge, like Bush ***said*** he was going to–whatever happened to that anyway?

Hillary Clinton has never done anything to you. If you have such an irrational hatred toward her, it says lots more about you than it does her. Get yourself a mirror.

Go Hillary.

Mrs Clinton is an inspiration to us all. She would make sure the US os A
pays more attention to Canada than Britain. The people of Canada feel very
left out and are sad that the americans are cruel to us!!!

Kill 'em with kindness…….Hillary slapped the media so hard across the face ……its amusing……you go girl …..

She rode in Air Force One luxury for 8 years, now is she is qualified to pilot it?

Team Clintonspeaks with one voice, thinks with one brain and acts for one purpose and that is to get the Clintons back into the White house.

I don't care whom you support this does not pass the gut check!

Look at these comments……Is this not the most Polarizing PERSON ever? And to think over 40% of Democrats really want to go through this for another 10 months……

For the record, I think the speech is clever and it was actually funny, but im still for OBAMA in 08

I see all the Hillary bashers are out today!
You go, Hillary. The silent majority is for you!(*smile*)
Hillary in '08!

What a great story. See she does have a sense of humour. Nothing wrong with that. History in the Making! Go Hillary Go!!!
She has my vote…..

People, lighten up! It was a joke…a clever one I might add.

I m not surprise to see some comments full of anger to this woman and her husband after everything they done for this country,that how we human are and that why we made the world an hell for ourself . So please give this couple some credits for what they done for this country.
god bless peace

Now she added flight attend to that 35yrs of vast experience..

If this is not the stupidest thing I ever heard, it is near the top of the list. Of course, what can you expect from Hillary Clinton. Then again, if you don't like Hillary's current personality, just wait a few hours, it, like the weather, will change.

Go Hillary!!
Go AWAY Obama!!!!

Every "Hillary Hater" that has written is a man! Go figure! Someone wrote that she is the most arogant woman ever?? What do you call your president? If a man is arrogant, he is called commited…if it's a woman she is called smug….what chauvanist pigs you are!!!

WOMEN FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!! far out number you men.

I don't understand how Obama supporters, supposedly inspired by a campaign based on positivity and hope, can be so plainly hateful to Hillary on a mostly personal level. Next time have as much class as the candidate you're trying to defend. Stop dividing the party at a time when we need unity the most.

Very cute, I would have loved to be on that HILL Force 1

I knew this would be twisted!! I am a democrat, and for any democrate to say they would vote for one of these republicans is sickening. Don't get me wrong I have voted for a republician. But, the choice was Regan. Remember all of us cross over democrates? In retrospect I wish I hadn't.

The president who taxed us the most, was none other than Ronnie. Not to mention Iran Contra, Regan probable didn"t recall this or that, but you can bet Bush Sr. did. Talk about lies,shredded documents, Oliver North and others.

When I read this I thought it was funny. She is human like everyone else. She has faults and I'm sure she has made mistakes. I must admit that despite the negativity from the media and the seemingly "hurdle" of being a woman I believe she has just been gracious, strong and focused in the midst of the storm. She will make a fine President! I doubt I could deal with all the stress of the campaign (especially as I am an African-American) as well as she is handling it.

To The Strong and Fine Senator from New York- You have my support !!!

How much human side do you really need to read from a piece of paper that you probably didn't even write yourself. Quite frankly I didn't laugh nor was I impressed with her attempt at humor. I think it takes a lot more human in a person to not give scripted speeches and opinions. It not only shows you have a heart but that you have a brain too and know how to use it to articulate your message!

For anyone to read more into this then that is trying to sprinkle sugar on poop! For the claims of this showing her warmer, down to earth side I think you should all take a bite of your sugar coated poop and tell me how it taste because if this woman makes it to the White House, I think we'll regret it just as we did with GWB!

What's really funny is that I still see folks with those "W04″ bumper sticker on their cars, that's got me rolling out of my chair!

Oh yes here we go Hillary the big bad wolf that is so conniving she is controlling the media but so stupid she can't run the country. By the way she a racist too, and I think she hates women and latinos too. republicans quit pretending to be Democrats. Or democrats quit spewing republican rhetoric.

Agree with Tired of W from Oh…..and the mindless rants have begun.

I do not like Hillary and there is no way I would vote for her, but come on folks, she was just having a little fun. This shows a light hearted moment, something everyone needs now and then (and I would not dis a candidate based on the quality of their jokes :)). All aspects of her character (except her private life) is appropriate for print; it is part of who she is and it is important to understand as much of the candidate's character as possible. It's one of the few things I've seen that gives her a more human look. I'm still not going to vote for her though.

Oh, Hillary is "arrogant"…?!

While arrogance is commonly considered a "quality" for males, and a reflection of their assertiveness, it is usually seen as a "negative" personality trait for women! The time has come for our society to treat genders in an equal manner and to praise the accomplishment of women — in the same way they do for men!

Get real!

If you Hillary haters ever met her, you'd immediately change your minds and vote for her.

She's smart, forward thinking and capable of managing the business of this country.

There is little doubt she would not loose or misplace any document(s) if given to her well in advance of her needing it!

Obama's a good, maybe great speaker, but he is not qualified to be the leader of the free world.

Hillary 08!

I can't believe the people on here who are getting worked up about this. People need to get a grip for goodness sake. Hillary was just having a little fun! There are truly some silly people on here who jump at the first chance to attack her. Makes me shake my head in disbelief the stuff that is written on here. People need to relax. Goodness gracious.

What are some of these people thinking? or are they? So Hillary left her name on the Michigan ballot and she is castigated.What was the reason given by Obama and Edwards why they took their names off? Well, somebody explain to me why their names are on the ballot in Florida. It's time people start looking past all the rhetoric, the charm, the fiery speeches and look at substance. Likability as good as that is does not run a Government. Who is best suited to run this Goverment from day one? I am a proud black man and am ecstatic that a black man is running for President.But ,should i vote for him just because we are both black? My vote goes to the man or woman who is most capable of leading this great country back to its rightful place as the RESPECTED leader of the free world. GO HILLARY!

"The more she does the less I believe she is doing this for America. This is about her thinking she is entitled to be president because she wants it. I can't wait to see what her next move is……"

Is this supposed to be a negative comment towards Hillary? Because if it is, it makes no sense. Every single candidate out there feels s/he is entitled to become president, that's why they're all working their butts off campaigning, stumping, and trying to prove themselves better than the next guy over. I don't understand how you can see this in a negative way, either. Anyone who has run for any position wants to win and of course they think they are entitled to win because of their experience and their vision of what they think they can do for the mass. It's called PASSION for aiming high and giving it your all to prove you can make a difference.

People complain about her lack of human touch, lack of sense of humor, lack of blah, blah, blah and when she tries to respond she gets slammed for it by the same people. You ask for change, she delivers, and then you just find another way to bring her down.

Also, people who criticize Hillary exhibit such double standards. She gets labeled as plastic, fake, weak, vicious, etc while none of her opponents are called any of those names when they respond or act the same way. And honestly, it's because she's a woman. Americans need to purge their mind of that old fashion view of women in order to objectively compare these candidates. For a "progressive" country, I feel like we're still in the dark ages when it comes to women in politics.

There is nothing better than to see someone laugh, but in these times we need a serious canidate who has and can give us answers to our problems, reassure us that there is a solution beyond the horizon if we elect them. I see what i have seen in the past, committie after committie, that composses of friends, family and favors owed, with the end result of a deadlock and another four years of either nothing or more problems. There is no answer in any of the canidates of either party, just the assumption and faulse promises of a better America. Be true to the people you are going to lead, keep honesty and integrety at the forefront of your thoughts, rise your people from poverty, share your exesses with the world, strive for peace and cures for desease, protect our borders from the unknown, make your peace with God, love the earth as you would your children and pray for the wisdom to lead your country into a blessed future. John Hargis Sr

GO HILLARY!

Sorry, Senator Clinton, but your tentative "flight" (in the White House) is DOOMED for disaster. However, I do commend you for having the courage to appear on "some" political programs.

However, how come you haven't appeared on the HIGHEST RATED CABLE NEWS PROGRAM, "The O'Reilly Factor"? While Mr. O'Reilly is no "Larry King", he would certainly ask you tough questions, but he would polite and professional. This would be your opportunity to spread your message to millions of politically savy U.S. voters (including yours truly).

That was very ingenious, just loved seeing her show her humor.All the Obama fans are going nuts. You go Madame President—–see you in the White House!!!!!!

(July 2007) Hillary is loving the media attention.
(November 2007) Hillary is indifferent about media coverage.
(January 2008) Hillar is upset at the media, yet trying to portray being "happy" with the media.

Like Bill Clinton said to Hillary in 1995, GIVE ME A BREAK!

This stuff is pretty funny, but her delivery is awful. If she had just ad libbed some of it, cool. But reading jokes written by her writers because it will make her look more human, well, it makes her look LESS human.

To any and all who use the word "divisive" to describe any campaign or candidate you do not support, please remember that you have personal control over whether or not you allow yourself to become negative about the other side. It seems to me the only time it is valid to accuse any side of being "divisive" is when we are being self-reflective. Otherwise, we are simply feeding the "divisiveness" ourselves.

All three of the democratic candidtates made a lot of effort in the Nevada debate to communicate fundamental unity, and to model for all of us a way to argue with one another responsibly and respectfully. If they stood up there accusing eachother of being divisive, they would have been fanning the divisive flames. Instead, they made it clear that they do not have (or do not want to have) any such intentions, or effects. This was despite the fact that the CNN moderaters tried hard to provoke them into ugly arguments.

We all have to allow them all to lead us in this way. We have to listen to the call they have made, in unison, to listen to their differences, but resist the mudslinging. This is Obama's greatness. If he means what he says, and would truly be alright with HRC as president, and vice versa, then we all have to calm down, vote according to what seems to make the most sense to us, and continue to trust in the process, even though it remains flawed in many respects.

It is sad to me that as a public we demand positive campaigning, and then allow ourselves such negativity with one another.

I believe that any of the democrats will work hard to restore our democracy as best they can (albeit each with a different set of flaws to contend with and attempt to overcome), and work hard to solve all the problems they can. It will not be perfect, but it will be better, if we can win. Staying united is our best hope in this regard. That is the power of Obama's message, no matter which way things go on the democratic side. If you are truly inspired by Obama, you must not succumb to the temptation to spread divisiveness and negativity. We MUST all be in this together.

Hillary has said that Obama could be a good president. Obama has said that Hillary could be a good president. They have all three made clear that when the primaries are over, they will work hard for a democratic victory. The rest is a nuanced individual choice.

We must all stop the demonizing of one another because it damages our very best hopes at this crucial time. If we have something to say to help others make an informed decision, let's do it responsibly, and remember that our words have the power to hurt as well help.

Why are so many people riled up about this? It's funny people - laugh!

Really? I'm surprised she didn't take credit for advancing the rights of flight attendants so they didn't have to retire at the age of 32. Or wear a girdle.

She'll need more than a sense of humor to push that beverage cart up the aisle with all the Kool-Aid she and Bill want the voters to drink.

KarenCA: You have it one hundred percent right. You did leave one out: "broomstick." I'm sure Hillary would smile about these epithets, but my opinion would be "Keep your votes; who needs 'em!?" I will vote for Hillary, but would be the last one to trash Obama. The freedom of the voting booth, which some of us haven't always had, means so much more than writing nasty words about one who doesn't deserve it.

what a bunch of sad and pathetic comments from self loathing small people who can't give her the slightest bit of credit for anything.

it was a cute idea no doubt enjoyed by those who experienced it.

Come on, Obama supports, show some class of yours by applauding Hillary for her jokes, instead of attacking her.

I'm sitting here reading the posts like "go Hillary", "We love you Hillary", "You go girl", and most of them are from women? Hmmmmm?

All I can is Hillary is brilliant! What refreshing CHANGE!!

Re: Comment from "Clever PR, good job Hillary"

Did Obama actually admit that he and his campaign staff had "pushed the race card"?

If he did - then I think CNN should give that 'Obama story' more coverage.

After reading through all the sexist, and downright personal attacks against Senator Clinton and President Clinton (I believe some wise pickle labelled her as being "trash") in this blog and others, it seems that NOW is the time for the electorate to start bringing Senator Obama, his campaign staff, and his 'verbally abusive' supporters to the forefront to ask them 'why' they "push the race card" and then cry foul when Senator or President Clinton even mentions the word 'race' - or does anything that is meant to 'help her win the nomination'?

Cute, I guess she crossed the WGA picket line to get a script like that.

The disparaging remarks about Hillary are disturbing. Disturbing in that they are very personal and reveal so much more about the person making the remarks. The people that don't like Hillary have no idea why - other than they think they know her and what makes her tick. They make idiotic statements about her as if they actually have first-hand knowledge of who she is and what she stands for. It's sickening.

These same people don't have a clue as to how she has voted on issues - other than to make comment about the vote that authorized GW to use force if necessary. They don't know what legislation she has introduced or supported or voted for or against. They show how misinformed they really are.

C'mon guys! That was FUNNY!

Why all this vitriol against Hillary. I'll tell ya why. Cause the far right is TERRIFIED of her! They KNOW she can win it all, and when she does they KNOW she'll work for the PEOPLE, not THEM.

They're AFRAID of her.

They've been running a campaign against her for 12 years, now. They've shot everything they could at her in an attempt to kill the baby in its crib. She's still alive and gonna win. When she gets the Dem primary, there's nothing they can lie about her that they haven't already tried.

I like Obama and the other Dems. But if they win, the Republican propaganda machine will make mince meat out of them. The've tried with Hillary and failed misrably. Now they can only cry and hope.

Marie:

I agree with you. Hillary comes across intelligent with such a broad base of knowledge about our country and world. When asked in debates, she gives clear and consice answers. She does very well with clarifying her responses so that she doesn't "talk over the average American's head". Most American's spend the majority of the time working and worrying about personal issues at home; it is understandable that they can't brush up on every issue. The candidates answers can get very unclear. With Hillary, you know exactly what she is saying. That is the way she wants it!

Hillary does this in her speeches as well. Even the media reports that Obama's speeches are more about "feel-good politics" rather than explaining his issues. Sure it is great to hear the message of hope and change. But our country is in a crisis right now. Our military has suffered greatly, our economy is in shambles, there are too many American's without healthcare, our drop-out rate in high school is unexusable, the middle class has been taken advantage of, etc., etc. etc.-We need more than feel-good words. We need action. I believe Hillary can deliver this.

I have been a staunch supporter of the Clintons since my teenage years, when I used to volunteer in Bill Clinton's White House… And I have a confession to make… I will not support Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary and, based on the way she has run her campaign, I would have a hard time supporting her candidacy in the general election. The Clinton machine reminds me of the tactics I see from Karl Rove: Unsubstantiated personal attacks at every turn; the use of surrogates and supporters to do their dirty work; twisting words around to play the victim; lies; and most frightening, voter suppression. I find it appalling that Hillary Clinton stands idly by while her supporters in the Nevada teachers' union seek to rob thousands of poor, minority voters and women of their right to vote, or at least make it more difficult for them to do so. We used to be the party of inclusion, of getting out the vote, of expanding the polity to the ends of America. Now, Bill Clinton is out there playing bad-cop, defending those who would disenfranchise thousands of hispanic voters so that HIllary doesn't have to say a word. The fact is, she could put an end to this frivolous lawsuit right now. But she won't. And why? Because it just might help her win. That's the logic that has driven her campaign. And it's the logic you see in her daily press soundbytes attacking Sen. Obama. They used to be the best of colleagues. Now, you see her campaign dragging a man through the mud whose record is perhaps as clean as we have ever seen in politics. I mean, the Clintons, desperate to find some dirt to annihilate her adversaries, dug up a Kindergarten essay Obama wrote saying he might one day want to be president. I mean, who didn't want to be president in Kindergarten. It's the Clintons in life who destroy our 'false hopes.' But if the Clintons proceed to crucify Sen. Obama as they have so diligently done in these past few weeks, the Democratic party may have a dilemma on its hands that not even Bill can diffuse. Because to have a candidate of Obama's historic and unifying background lose in a presidential race is one thing, but to have him lose this way is simply unaccepptable to the thousands of Americans who have been inspired by his message.

It's about time someone injected some humor, And now we know for sure our next president has a sense of humor.

on MSNBC debate when Tim Russert asked Obama questions the true
Obama revealed . His answers shows why he is not fit to be the next Presdent.
He responded that he was not a chief operating officer. Being President is not making sure that schedules are being run properly. He even mentioned that he did not like his staff to hand him over any paper before 2 seconds because he
feared he would lose it. Do you really think that such a person can run affairs of the nation or even a company business ?
In response Hillary's answer was straight and simple. That she would be the leader from day 1.

Someone yelled out at a campaign event in Nevada……

"Do you have to be an American Citizen to caucus?"

Umm…. Only America would a question like this be asked. I would like to know how the candidate responded.

Nevada doesn't believe that illegal aliens would vote as they would be committing fraud. It would be too much effort to go through the process as they would have to sign an affadivit that they are illegal and then, it two to three years, after all of the verification etc has been done, they would end up being prosecuted for committing fraud.

Nevada doesn't believe that people who have committed fraud by entering this country illegally, people who have committed fraud by carrying illegal papers, people who break our laws, illegals who are unafraid to protest openly in American streets…… would not committ fraud by voting illegally.

Hillary's controlling behavior demands that she thinks she knows it all with hands-on micromanagement style.

When anybody thinks she or he knows it all, there is little intelligence left in the person. All the poor person can think of is calculating and criticizing on others.
This negative behavior takes a lot of energy out of her.
Therefore, Hillary cannot have any vision for us, while Obama can.

Hillary has no clue on leadership, but she may do a wonderful secretary's job hands-on. It's very sad how Dems supported her as the front runner even for a day. She is the least experienced candidate in both parties.

This flight attendant story is her writer's creation to get her out of the pit after Michigan and distract the voters from issues. Nice try, but Hillary remains detrimental to our democracy.

Hillary's close ties with big corporations and the Chinese should be taken seriously, no matter how loud she yelled against lobbyists for big corporations. She called these lobbyists her 'good American' friends, and took the most donations from them. There is no free lunch. We, the voters, will have to pay for this win-win deal between Hillary and her good American friends.

The right must be really afaid of a Hillary victory to have deployed so many hate-mongers to the message board.Go Hilliary1

The hate and outrage coming out of the Obama supporters is quite amusing to read.

I see all the Hillary bashers (such nice folks) are out!
You go Hillary. The silent majority is for you!(*smile*)

I think it's cute. It proves that Hillary has both imagination and a sense of humor.

Clearly scripted. Unlike her bashing of MLK, where she showed her true racist thoughts.

i love how obama is running a campaign of 'hope' an 'unity', yet obama supporters can't even let a little joke go by without turning it into some hillary conspiracy. how can we achieve bipartisan unity when we can't even achieve unity in our own party? we've all got to start playing nice if the democrats want to win this.

The Culinary workers are not a bunch of sheep….there are a whole lot of them that will vote for Hillary…..the union just wants to keep tabs on them and see who they caucus for…..the point of a caucus is for you and your neighbors to go and voice your opinions and try to sway the undecided to your candidate in your own neighborhood not on the strip!!!…..I personally wish we would just have had a primary on this day…..with early voting….I am sure there will be a lot of Jews that didn't go to Temple on the Sabbath because of it being held on a Saturday at 11 a.m……I hope next time a presidential election comes along in Nevada that it goes back to the old way of voting in private…….the way it should be…..GO HILLARY 08!!!

I don't know what's worse, the candidates or the voters behind them willing to trash everything about someone else because they don't want them to win. Way to ruin one of the few decent stories to even come out of this presidential race. Is it news? Probably not. Is it light-hearted during a time when America needs more of it? Yes.

And shame on most of you for making a registered Republican actually have to defend a filthy, hippy Liberal!

I hope she's got a sense of humor because her husband has become a bitter old coot. Mr. Charming has lost it completely.

Hillary doesn't dare try crying again to get votes so now she is switching to comedy. Sad part is that my last heart attack was funnier than her stupid attempt at humor which actually is a foreign language to her.
Hillary and Bill you should do something great for America —Go away.

ok…I've been bashing Hillary as of late…and ok, she read from a script (so what)…. but I think this was funny. Good for her!

WAIT, I HAVE TO GO GET MORE POPCORN TO HEAR HILLARY HATERS:

I'M GOING TO NEED ANOTHER BUCKET - BECAUSE SO MUCH HATRED AND HOW SHE MANAGES TO STAY ON TOP IS BEYOND ME!

A strong, dedicated, passionate woman who is stringent on issues and specific on matters -wow, how horrible for this country.

Explain this to me:

Why do so many people supposedly hate her…

I'm sure the Obama camp is working overtime on cnn - much like Roland Martin does - and yet she continues to hang in there in the numbers.

Folks, talk about issues, not the useless and mindless hatred of hillary - it's getting old.

Agatha:

"I heard Tiger woods is coming out to back Obama. That is very good to know how this race has gotten serious that even a legend recognizes Obama is the future of this country. Obama all the way!"

…seriously? What planet do you live on where you consider Tiger Woods a barometer for political issues? How exactly does him endorsing Obama mean that the "race has gotten serious"? And lastly, what are you smoking? Good lord… Whatever alternate universe you're living in sure sounds fun.

Mrs. Clinton is a unique canidate. To all of you e-mailers, I am only
12 years old and i hope the american people vote for Hillary. She would
be flying a million people to Canada to help our people if elected.
if she was prime minister of Canada, she would do the same for
U.S.A! PLEASE LOOK IN YOUR WIFES HEART AND SAY THIS TO HER:

"A little boy from Canada says HILLARY IS PERFECT!"
She would say " OK! 32,000,000 people vs. one state!"

Yours most sinserely, Mr Stanfort

Hey Brian L.,

Stop your vitriol long enough and check the article in the Las Vegas Sun about the Culinary union intimidating workers who do not want to caucus for Obama.

The news is spreading to various blogs and even local TV stations were contacted.

What do you have to say to that??? Your guy came out of the Southside Chicago machine, do you really think that he's that clean??

As for Hillary, she was cute and funny.

She is desperate she will do anything to win sooner you will see her half naked dancing in stages.I hope Britney will have her as her dancing team.

Relax people, good to see a candidate showing a sense of humor on the campaign trail. I see their is the usual diatribe from the clinton haters. I am an independent and undecided as of yet, but I certainly don't feel the hatred some obviously do towards her and by all accounts, at least she seems to have a real understanding of some of the more complex economic and social issues, at least according to the analysts.

People, take a downer and relax. A sense of humor, however good or bad, is a quality to be desired, rather then ridiculed. Glad to see she has one.

Two sources familiar with the senior Vermont senator's plans say Patrick Leahy will be endorsing Obama today in an 11:00 a.m. conference call today.

Cute, Hillary. Wish I had been on the plane. What makes several of you think she had writers for this? I don't think many can disagree with her high IQ, so no reason to think this required a writer, whose IQ probably wouldn't come close to hers.
Great she had a chance to show a little fun, and her sense of humor. I admire her more than ever, if that is possible. GO, HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess she's practicing for when she loses. This way she can say she has experience at this job also - JUST LIKE SHE HAS THE EXPERIENCE TO RUN THE COUNTRY - NOT!!!!!!!!

Obama has really become the establishment candidate - and even a bit of a bore. His supporters seem too often to sound like a group of snotty white fratenity kids. Hillary is endlessly fascinating and in complete command of the issues that are going to effect our lives for years to come. She is one tough campaigner who seems to swat Edwards and Obama down when they challenge her.
She is the only candidate who can undo the damage of the Bush years.
She is going to be a geat leader but she should have never voted to go into Iraq had she not done that i bleive she would be coasting to victory

CNN is the new "US Weekly"…

Finally….something she is QUALIFIED to do!

Is this the same reporter that brought us the big news about Hilary and "Dancing With the Stars" or was it the same reporter that brought us the tough question about Romney's "good looks". Wow!! What great reporting.. No-one has to waste their money on buying "The Enquirer" because we can get the same information right here.

The latest political news from CNN's Best Political Team, with campaign coverage, 24-7.

And this is news? This is what matters the most in the political season of electing our next president? Or was this all orchestrated to show her "soft" less btcy side?

She blasts Obama about admitting that he has someone help keep him organized, then she is reading from a script that someone else wrote. I personally would rather vote for someone that admits that they hire staff to help them keep organized, isn't that what most secretaries do for their bosses, than vote for a Presidential candidate that has to be told what to say.

Worse than being on a flight with Hillary, would be her as President of U.S.A. Just what is her experience anyway, other than reaping profits, a fine living and secure financial future from the citizens she takes from. Public Servant - what a laugh!

I can already hear the sexist argument from Hillary's camp regarding being referred to as a "Flight Attendant".

If what Hilliary is saying is true and compares running the U.S. to flying in an airplane, then electing her President would be the same as asking her to climb into the cockpit and fly the plane.

Total DISASTER. The Congress would achieve a WORLD RECORD DIVIDE between Dems and Repubs. Much wider then the current sorry state of affairs that has resulted in the LOWEST rating of Congress in RECORDED HISTORY.

ANYBODY BUT HILLIARY…………………………………………….

Let's connect the dots Americans. First, Hillary's vast experience, unfortunately did not include keeping track of Bill's extracurricular activites.
Second, We got more of the Rove politics in part , and as a result of the extracurricular activities.
Third, Bill's activities and Hill's failure to keep track of them did impact the presidential election of 2000. Remember Gore!.
Finally, the Clintons need to take some responsibility. I think this flight attendant job fits just fine.

I think I'm going to Hillpuke.

I hope you can post this. I apologize for doing it. I could never imagine saying any of these things to anyone.

These are the people voting for president…. nightmare, trash, stooge, violator, flight attendant, divisive, negative, flight attendant, stupid, smear, sourgrapes, liar, flight attendant, flight attendant, pathological, lame, dirty, hypocrite, sickening, lame, cheap, shell, sick, nasty, liar, Karl Rove, sickening, self absorbed, unlikeable, fake, self destructive, shameful, ill, stupid,flight attendant, disgusting, wicked witch, preys, liar, liar, spin, nothing, horrible, robot, nothing, pathetic, fake, snarling, phony, fake…

I don't know about Clinton, but I thinks all of this says alot about you. Sad.

Please tell me what airline she'll be working with so I never fly with them.
Seriously can you imagine being on a flight where Hillary is your attendance?

Oh heaven's i'm already having a nightmare!

Michelle Woods January 17, 2008 11:26 am ET

Good one! ha ha

Snakes on the plane is right; the Clintons are that slithery and sneaky. lol

Fortunately,
