A New Clinton ad is similar to “Children,” a spot that aired last month.
A New Clinton ad is similar to “Children,” a spot that aired last month.

Hillary Clinton's campaign has gone live in Pennsylvania with a new ad that features sleeping children, and a 3 a.m. crisis call — but this time, the spot takes aim at John McCain. The 30-second spot — "Ringing" — highlights Clinton's "readiness to be steward of the economy on Day One."

On a conference call with reporters, spokesman Howard Wolfson said that Clinton had not faced any economic crises before, but that she possessed "a rich and deep understanding of complex problems" that gave her the tools to deal with them.

(Full script after the jump)

Hillary For President
“Ringing"
TV :30

Announcer: It’s 3 am, and your children are safe and asleep.

But there’s a phone ringing in the White House and this time the crisis is economic.
Home foreclosures mounting, markets teetering.

John McCain just said the government shouldn’t take any real action on the housing crisis, he’d let the phone keep ringing.

Hillary Clinton has a plan to protect our homes, create jobs.

It’s 3 am, time for a president who’s ready.

Hillary Clinton: I’m Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.

Voters of Pennsylvania, don't be fooled by the Clinton's retoric. They are professional liars. It goes all the way back to the Clinton Administration. They will say anything to get elected. One example, when Hillary was running for the New York Senate, she promised to create 300,000 jobs, and in fact since her election, the state has lost over 65,000 jobs.

She is all talk and no action!

pay your bills! where are your tax forms?

Franky   April 2nd, 2008 7:33 pm ET

To be honest guys, I could care less now. Plus, I had my fun with the Clintons yesterday….. I just don't care whether people are happy or not in this election, they're idiots………..I lost faith and all I know is that I'm happy…

A CANUCK   April 2nd, 2008 7:17 pm ET

She can't think straight wide awake…….can't imagine her handling a crisis at 3A.M !!!!!!!!!!

Sarah   April 2nd, 2008 7:15 pm ET

People keep talking about experience, experience! Bush's entire administration had tons of experience and where has that gotten us?!?

mkay   April 2nd, 2008 7:13 pm ET

Ring ring. Hillary it's for you, its bill collectors asking you to pay up

david goldman   April 2nd, 2008 7:12 pm ET

I KEEP WONDERING, WITH ALL THIS FER MONGERING,

IS THAT BUSH IN DRAG ?

david goldman   April 2nd, 2008 7:10 pm ET

THAT CALL CAME AND WENT. HILLARY DIDN'T READ THE

INTELLIGENCE REPORT. SHE WILL NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN.

jhs   April 2nd, 2008 7:09 pm ET

Geeze CNN, why do you keep calling it a "RED PHONE" ad? There's no stupid red phone!

Gene   April 2nd, 2008 7:08 pm ET

shameless Hillary… politics of fear and old tricks…..enough…enough.

mimi de la cruz   April 2nd, 2008 7:07 pm ET

MORE DELUSIONS. HILLARY CAN SAVE AD & PLAY IT ALL NIGHT.

thomasr@yahoo.com   April 2nd, 2008 7:04 pm ET

Um, Hillary, that phone has been ringing for awhile and I still don't see you, as one of our leaders in congress, doing a thing about it. Indeed, perhaps if you had picked up the phone some time ago many of the people who already lost their homes would still be living their American dream.

OBAMA FOR SURE WILL WIN PA. 2008   April 2nd, 2008 7:02 pm ET

It has been said, "She plaguarized the ad." I really Hate Hillary, the
world's best liar.

Derrick   April 2nd, 2008 6:59 pm ET

Its 3:am…the phone rings
Hello, this is Hillary….yes…I know my bills are do…well what do you expect..Im sleep deprived and tired from dodging bullets…Yes..I know DO know where my husband is…Do you want Monicas number?

My Name is Hillary Clinton…and I misspoke when I approved this message

Pity   April 2nd, 2008 6:56 pm ET

Like others have said — NO BAILOUTS! Congress can't wait to give from the wallets of the responsible. this is not a dem or rep issue, though for once the Rep are finally not planning to waste our money. I hate McCain, but he's right - let the losers who over lent and over barrowed loose - I for one have been waiting four years for the housing bubble to pop.

David   April 2nd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

I come online to read Hillary suppoters make remarks such as:

Hillary will win, you'll see

or

Hillary will win all the rest of the 10 contest and secure the nomination

It makes me laugh when im feeling down

Obama 08

Pity   April 2nd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

Bring back Ferraro!

Perjury   April 2nd, 2008 6:47 pm ET

well lets see, 3 AM; I don't think the phone would be available. Testimony said that was when Bill was having phone sex with Monica. Oh, thats right—he NEVER had sex with that woman, just like he still has his law license in Arkansas and Hillary remains alive to haunt us because she could do windsprints so well through a hail of bosnian bullets. anytime of day or night, this is the couple that gives perjury a bad name. sheeeshhh

Mark in KC   April 2nd, 2008 6:46 pm ET

More denial. "Maybe if I target McCain, I can pretend I already have secured the nomination!".

So pathetic. When desperation rears its ugly head…. it really gets ugly.

rck   April 2nd, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Hillary, NAFTA, SNIPERS IN BOSNIA, TAX RETURNS, and SCANDLES, LIES LIES and MORE LIES.

If Hillary answers the phone for the economy then hold on to your wallet because here come the Clinton Taxes

Derrick   April 2nd, 2008 6:45 pm ET

It's 3 a.m. and the Rev. Wright answers the phone preaching biggotry… Call back later!!! We are too busy raising racial tensions in our churches to deal with any situation right now. Please leave a message!

Bottom line is that it is Hillary or McCain! No ONE ELSE.

If Obama gets the nomination, the ENTIRE COUNTRY will see how HUGE of a following the Clinton's have and they will NOT vote for Barack Obama.

Wake up folks! Caucuses are meaningless compared to primaries! Primaries speak volumes, caucuses are mute!

Hillary 08′ 12′ If not, then McCain!

NEVER OBAMA! NEVER!

Ftkeste   April 2nd, 2008 6:42 pm ET

Hillary is a liar, Mcain is too old and wants to keep us in IRAQ, and i just don't know anything about Obama.

this country is doomed

You must be kidding if you for one minute think Hiillary is a planner. She
planned her campaign and she has campaign staffed not paid, health
insurance carriers not paid, small businesses in Iowa and Ohio not paid
and only God knows who else she owes. She is not a planner and the 35
years of experience she touts is sorely lacking in being able to make
sound judgment.

Chris in Va.   April 2nd, 2008 6:37 pm ET

A better ad would be "Hi, I'm Hillary Clinton, it's 3 A.M. ,…. has anyone seen my husband?"

Robert IL   April 2nd, 2008 6:37 pm ET

I agree with the several people who have pointed out that if Hillary can't remember "dodging sniper fire" because of sleep deprivation, I certainly don't want her anywhere near the "red phone" at 3AM.

Also, shouldn't the phone in the "red phone" ad be RED? Maybe she was sleep deprived during the filming of the ad and answered the wrong phone.

Don't worry, she'll have plenty of time to sleep soon after Obama gets the nod.

OBAMA 08

Ma Bell   April 2nd, 2008 6:37 pm ET

Hillary needs to stop answering the phone in the middle of the night and get some sleep! The last time she was sleep deprived, she thought there were snipers firing at her!

If she manages the US economy as well as she manages her campaign funds - the 3 a.m. call will be from the bill collectors.

Also, when gets up at 3 a.m. to answer the phone, she'll realize that Bill still hasn't returned from his "quick trip to the store to get twinkies and pork rinds" - and then TMZ will spot him at a club with Paris Hilton.

Dave M. Chicago, IL   April 2nd, 2008 6:35 pm ET

Who in the heck helps Hillary pick out her clothes? Horrible!

ellianna   April 2nd, 2008 6:35 pm ET

There is just NO FOOL like an OLD FOOL!! Give it up, Hillary!!
Your goose is cooked!! Your 3:00 alarm clock has stopped forever!!
The very best you can do for your country right now is to concede this election to Barack Obama!! You would have a much better political future if you did so!! If you and Bill continue to be STUBBORN and wreck the Democratic party, you will in fact have ruined your respective reputations. How sad that is considering that at one time Bill Clinton, the former President, was admired and revered by millions of people in America and around the world!! And you were elected as a New York senator. Your senate seat is waiting for you!! How thankful you can be!! We taxpayers have paid your salary for more than a year, while you were out hitting the election trail from east to west and north to south here in America!! MANY AMERICANS HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS!! And yet, you have been paid while you were away from your job!! Take a reality check right now Hillary Clinton — Get back to Capital Hill!! Your senate seat chair is calling you!!

CHERYL   April 2nd, 2008 6:32 pm ET

I LOVE IT!

SHE GETS MY VOTE!!!!!!!

HILLARY CLINTON FL AND MI SUPPORT YOU!!!!!!!!!

Hahahahaha!

Hillary Michigan Loves You !!!!!

I don't Care If the Answering Machine Picks up The Message !!!!!
I Want Hillary Clinton In The White House To Solve The Problems America Faces Today ,And The Issues That Sure To Happen In The Future , Yes She Can , She's The Only One Who Can !!!!!!!

CHERYL   April 2nd, 2008 6:29 pm ET

THIS IS EXCELLENT!!!!!!!

AND SO TRUE!!!!!

CONGRATS HILLARY ON THE POLLS!!!!!!!!

Carlos   April 2nd, 2008 6:29 pm ET

How can Hillary's White House experience possibly qualify her to become the next president of the United States? Would Chelsea qualify as well then? Perhaps some of the White House's older staff, who have been there for 10, maybe 20 years?

And why do some women continue to see Hillary's campaign through a sexist pespective? Even if she's deemed admirable or strong by many, wouldn't her political views and credibility have to count somewhat? So by the same criteria should all these same women vote on Condi Rice if she declared to be a candidate herself?

CHERYL   April 2nd, 2008 6:28 pm ET

HEY THE FIRST ONE GOT RAVE REVIEWS!!!!!!!!

HILLARY KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING!!!!!

THAT IS WHY SHE LEADS IN THE POLLS!!!!!!

GO HILLARY GO!!!!!!!

Jane Sloan, DC   April 2nd, 2008 6:28 pm ET

If Hillary were to do a good job on the economy, there wouldn't BE a need for any calls at 3 AM!

The last time I checked "home foreclosures" don't happen overnight — they're a result of FAILED economic policies. Maybe she's giving us a sign of what's to come…

jeffrey   April 2nd, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Ma folks use to tell me that how a person handles little things makes one judge if SHE can handle bigger ones…Hillary Clinton failed totally with handling her campaign…how much more the economy of this great nation…

United We Stand Divided We Fall

OGB, Arizona   April 2nd, 2008 6:24 pm ET

I think Hillary will be too "sleep-deprived" at 3 am that she will definitely "mispeak" on any economic policies. She will be better as the Secretary of Defense since she is skilled at withstanding "Sniper Fire"

Ex-Hillary supporter   April 2nd, 2008 6:20 pm ET

She won't have time to answer phone calls, what with catching up on sleep and preparing her tax returns etc. etc.
Once this contest is over, I reckon Hillary should take a sabbatical in Afghanistan and/or Iraq and experience the reality of war, instead of entertaining the world with her sniper dodging fantasies.

eddie   April 2nd, 2008 6:20 pm ET

It's a great add and it shows how the clintons in the 90's ran 8 years of a great economy. Obama has done nothing in the senate and mccain is with the bush policies.
Vote hillary in for the 90's balanced budget economy!

R   April 2nd, 2008 6:17 pm ET

She does NOT have any understanding of the problems. The very root of the whole problem in our economy is fractional reserve lending and a very loose monetary policy that is helped by the fact that the government props up 3 trillion of our 14 trillion dollar economy. "Providing jobs" can only be done by contracting private firms to do government work, which almost always leads to waste and corruption. Either that or just tell every unemployed person to go join the military.

A recession is like breaking a bone. It hurts at first, but soon the bone becomes stronger once it is healed. The housing thing NEEDS to run its course. Once that happens, credit becomes cheap and people LEARN TO SPEND WITHIN THEIR MEANS.

M. Smith, Harrisburg   April 2nd, 2008 6:16 pm ET

. . . .Creativity running a bit thin, huh Howard Wolfson?

Independent for Obama   April 2nd, 2008 6:15 pm ET

This ad is as ridiculous as her previous ad. Don't fall for it people- she can't even pay her won campaign bills.

PhilT   April 2nd, 2008 6:13 pm ET

People give the "girl" (per Bill Clinton) a break. She's in debt up to her eyebrows, can't pay for her employees medical benefits, and is behind on payments to small businesses (the very people she pledges to help with her economic plan) that provide services to her campaign.

Besides, she is doing the right thing by recycling. This add is probably the best the campaign could do given its limited resources.

PhilT

Former Obama supporter   April 2nd, 2008 6:13 pm ET

I love this ad. It is to the point and true. Unlike Obama's ad which says that he doesn't take money from oil companies but he does. Obama isn't telling the true. Why the media isn't making this a big deal, I don't know. If it was Hillary who said it, then they would tear her apart. I wish there was a poll which asked Americans, "Who do you think the media favors, Hillary or Obama?" The poll would clearly show Obama ahead. The media is always protecting Obama and I'm so sick of it.

T. Hatfield, Gaitlinberg, PA   April 2nd, 2008 6:12 pm ET

. . . .How can you answer the phone at 3am when all of your utilities
are shut off due to NAFTA?

sachin   April 2nd, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Well it seems like she is making sure Mccain does not get a free run while she and obama duel it out in Pennsylvania (among otther obvious reasons)

bigben   April 2nd, 2008 6:11 pm ET

enjoy the nomination. clinton suppoters will not vote for obama. you dam weak losers

KTX   April 2nd, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Does it matter what Hillary does? Nothing she or McCain can do is as bad as someone who believes in Black Liberation Theology or has spent the past 20 years to become deeply embedded in one race over another. He goes to a church where they all embrace Reverand Wright, this theology, and black supremecy. Is this the kind of change this country wants? Yes, the ad stinks but so does BO! America needs to wake up, and do their homework or we will have our first ever racist president, and if you are anything other than black, you will not be his concern.

Allison R.   April 2nd, 2008 6:09 pm ET

Why does it always take her so long to answer the phone in these commercials? It rings and rings and rings…

Why do Hillary Clinton Supporters thinks that Obama Supporters are rude, simple minded, aggresive, loud, I could go all day the thing is we don't have Monday night football anymore so we have to root for our team and when Obama wins the nomination it will feel like we have just won the Super Bowl and Obama didn't say Gore for VP he said he wanted him on his team well I have to go now it seems like someone is throwing bombs outside of my house I have to run to my base and hide…….

Belle   April 2nd, 2008 6:05 pm ET

By the way…

Senator Hillary Clinton showed UP at Ground Zero ONE DAY after 9/11.

That was FASTER than the President of the United States.

In my book, that is a GOOD gage of her responsiveness to crisis.

Nikki   April 2nd, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Do you all really think Obama is going to be the answer to all our problems! LMAO. He has no plan for any of his big promises until a week after being asked (or until he sees Hillary's plan)! Don't get mad when Mr. We Are the World, takes away Affirmative Action and all the rest of minority support. In less than 2 years after he is elected you are gonna wish you voted for Hillary.

It's a man's world!!!!!!!!

bigben   April 2nd, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Obama is to dumb to answer a phone

Mike in Houston   April 2nd, 2008 6:04 pm ET

I've got a better ad:

Camera fades to the clock next to the bed in the White House. It's 3am.

Suddenly the phone rings.

President Hillary jumps out of bed wearing a helmet and bullet proof vest.

Secret service agents jump on the 3rd grader and wrestle away the sniper rifle.

Hillary. Ready on Day 1.

White folks please coming from a white man   April 2nd, 2008 6:02 pm ET

Are their any snipers in the video?

Go Obama

Mark   April 2nd, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Lord have mercy on her.

Looks like she is a Night Owl. Is she going to be awake every night waiting one crisis after another to come & strike the country?

Why do all these crises occur exactly at 3:00 am ?

Is she campaigning for national presidency or for a high school student presidency.

Geez !!! more fodder for late nightl jokes.

To the person who made the comment about the stock footage girl being a Obama Supporter. She's 17yrs old and she is a deligate . that's the age Obama. I guess we should trust her JUDGEMENT in making this dicession. for Pres. along with 50 cent. Who appointed her anyway I guess we know but what we don't know is how many 17yr old Obama supporters are Deligates That's really Scarry

T. Hatfield, Gaitlinberg, PA   April 2nd, 2008 5:54 pm ET

MLAMELLA, Alexandria, VA   April 2nd, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Its not Hillary with the ad who needs to give it a rest, its everyone reacting like a spanked child that needs to give it a rest. Come off it, people. They both used the same ad. Chill out and pay attention to what's important.

VOTER FOR TRUTH AND DIGNITY IN AMERICA   April 2nd, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Oh, Hillary. Please. Even McCain don't like you. You are just
not a likable woman. Ads will not help you now. Hillary, have
an ad on Bosnia Sniper Fire. Yea, that'll do it!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, maybe and ad with Stallone? Or maybe an ad with you
bowling for Dollars for your campaign!!!!!!!!!! There are bills
outstanding from you vendors and Insurance Premium of
over $2,000.00 to be Paid in Full Immediatly for insurance
for your Campaign Staff.

Obama ONLY 2008

Mary   April 2nd, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Probably wont get posted never does, but what Banker, Mortgage Company, Oil Executives are up phoning anyone at 3am.
Maybe the individual that works for the Clinton campaign that was on the Board of Directors of one of the largest Prime Lenders in the US and is now in bankrupcy, asking HIllary for a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please at least make the ads make sense, the only other person that I can think would be calling would be Bill with a cash crisis because his credit card isnt working

ds   April 2nd, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Neither Clinton, Obama, or McCain will have direct control over the economy. Nor did Bill. The economy works in cycles that aren't tied closely to the president. Bill got lucky and was in when the economy turned around, so he (and, by proxy, Hillary) gets to look like a genius. It's just as undeserved as blaming the president when the economy is bad.

Mel   April 2nd, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Give the Ringing Phone a break, one's credibility is more important. And
that is not based on what another person said.

Goody - OR.   April 2nd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Obama will have the hired help answer that call because he'll be resting from the stressful job of being president!

Obama is rated as the MOST LIBERAL of all three candidates. GOOD GRIEF, OPEN YOUR EYES FOLKS!

Retired professional black woman for Hillary from day 1. Will never falter!

By the way, did she check with Obama before running this ad? He's the one that will face John McCain in November.

Bob   April 2nd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

You Obama people scare me. It is what drove me to the Clinton side. It isn't ok for Clinton to lie, but it is ok for Obama to lie. There are examples out there the press refuse to jump on. Like I said, I was undecided until I saw all the venom coming from Obama supporters. You all are ridiculous!!!!

Dave   April 2nd, 2008 5:36 pm ET

I would think the only calls Hillary would get at 3:00 AM would be from her creditors…

Ivy10   April 2nd, 2008 5:35 pm ET

Where is the democratic leadership that's calling for an end to the campaign for the democratic nomination. … MAYBE, if they would step to the plate with their "superdelegate" vote prior to June, this would be over.

Debbie   April 2nd, 2008 5:35 pm ET

If Hillary is sleep deprived at 3am, we're all in trouble.

Hillary said her Bosnia sniper fire slip ups were because she was "sleep deprived". Hillary told the sniper fire story from December into March. Based on her own "sleep deprived" explanation, she has problems with her memory when she's tired.

Hillary's 4 months of memory issues is enough for me to make an informed decision.

Michael   April 2nd, 2008 5:34 pm ET

By the way Hillary, Rockey is a fictional character in case you forgot. And the guy who played Rockey supports McCain. What a lame attempt of connecting with the PA voters. Not to mention the people of Philadelphia do not want to be reminded that their greatest sports hero was a fictional character. What will she think of next?

Anyone but Obamination   April 2nd, 2008 5:34 pm ET

Obamas not sure where he stands on the Olympics in China? Maybe he can wait and see how he would have stood, once it plays out. He better wait and see where the other candidates stand on the issue. He never can answer on his own.

Vince Los Angeles, CA   April 2nd, 2008 5:32 pm ET

THE REASON HILLARY'S PHONE IS RINGING AT 3am IS BECAUSE SHE STEWARDED THE U.S. ECONOMY THE SAME WAY SHE HAS RUN HER CAMPAIGN AND NOW THE MARKETS ARE CRASHING AND THE UNITED STATES IS GOING BANKRUPT….THEY ARE ASKING HER TO PONY UP $5 MILLION OF HER OWN MONEY TO HELP OUT….

jane   April 2nd, 2008 5:31 pm ET

I think the red phone ad is right on target. Senator is far more qualified to answer it!

Nobillary Andobama   April 2nd, 2008 5:30 pm ET

"But there’s a phone ringing in the White House and this time the crisis is economic.
Home foreclosures mounting, markets teetering…"

And the socialist Billary has the solution….BIG GOVERNMENT TO THE RESCUE

Let the federal government spend billions to bail out irresponsible borrowers….sheer brilliance!

That's the liberal way….reward laziness and irresponsibility with a handout…..YOUR DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

Ben   April 2nd, 2008 5:30 pm ET

Are these Obama supporters have any other profession, are they participating in the country's economy welfare by working their butt off during the day. it looks like they are always hooked onto CNN and just feeding comments.
I was an independent Obama supporter uptil now, but this attitude by Obama people in such a overwhelming way os wearing me out!!

topcat   April 2nd, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Hillary seems to have an obsessive-compulsive disorder involving concerns about receiving disturbing phone calls at 3:00 A.M. … Does anyone have any idea why she might suffer from this disorder? - How about you, Monica? Any idea?

Holly   April 2nd, 2008 5:29 pm ET

I can't believe she is talking economy when over 700 vendors have not been paid for the services her campaign racked up and that she has not paid the health insurance for her campaign workers for the past 2 months! SHAME ON YOU HILLARY CLINTON!!!!

Reality   April 2nd, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Is this advertisement serious? She can't even manage the economics of her campaign, sheesh.

Not only would I vote for McBush over Hillary, but I would maximize my campaign contribution to him for the good of the country.

Vince Los Angeles, CA   April 2nd, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Mark April 2nd, 2008 4:37 pm ET

What exactly would she plan on doing? Drafting a bill to help the economy in a matter of seconds, running over to the House of Representatives, and waiting 6 hours for them to arrive so they could start debating it?

ROTFL Mark this comment from you had me absolutely in STITCHES!!! Kudos dude…I agree with you 110%!!!

Kathy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania   April 2nd, 2008 5:29 pm ET

What does she care about children being safe?? She took her own daughter into the line of "sniper fire"!! I won't give her the chance to exercise more bad judgment. She should bow out because there's nothing graceful about her.

An Agnostic Democrat   April 2nd, 2008 5:28 pm ET

She can't even tell the truth when she's "sleep deprived" or manage the funds for her campaign. She's simply untrustworthy and irresponsible.

jr.   April 2nd, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Mrs.Hillary Cinton your hard work you have done for this Grate Nation of ours whill pay off, by electing you our next President of the U.S.A.

Take aim at McCain Hillary! It will be good practice for November! Send that empty liar back to the mid-west!!

Ahead of the game in PA   April 2nd, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me! This is what everyone should STOP to think about before they cast their vote for Hillary on the 22nd. In Ohio they woke up the day after the primary to the White House papers proving that she lied about her NAFTA position after all….I'm just glad the red phone is ringing again so this time everyone wakes up!

hello   April 2nd, 2008 5:25 pm ET

I think male don't like smart woman.
Just leave her alone and agree that she is most capable candidate running for president.
we are voting for president and not for preacher.

Jeff in AL   April 2nd, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Excellent work Hillary!! It's time we go after the real opponent here. No need to waste time on an unelectable candidate. Focus on the Republican presumptive nominee!

Money must be tight if she can't afford to drum up a new ad… and this one doesn't make too much sense… 3am phone call about an economic crisis? Lame…

hello   April 2nd, 2008 5:24 pm ET

This all media people became Rich and Republican after they got this big tax break from Bush.
they don’t want democrat to win white house.

Jim   April 2nd, 2008 5:24 pm ET

I don't want a

SLEEP-DEPRIVED

Hillary Clinton answering ANY phone at 3AM.

She will for sure MISSPEAK.

Does she not realize the potential for jokes based on her own ad campaign?

bear   April 2nd, 2008 5:23 pm ET

Looks like billary gets her "new" advertising at the same store that provides her with her "new" politics. Same old same old. At least, she's recycling something.

Now, if she REALLY wanted to hit McClown, she'd say the phone kept ringing because the old codger just slept through it.

NC4Obama   April 2nd, 2008 5:23 pm ET

Hillarious……….at least she's aiming at McCain…..

Hillary don't answer the phone, it's the bill collectors calling….they want their money…..

charles   April 2nd, 2008 5:22 pm ET

3a.m call for an economy crisis. Are you people losing yr mind or what.This is the silliest thing i have ever heard. You deal with the economy during daylight not in the middle of the night. Who will be that stupid person who will call a President in the middle of the night to talk abt the economic crisis. Get a life..

Bob   April 2nd, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Of course, with all unpaid bills from her campaign, Hillary has a lot of experience in dealing with "complex problems". I would imagine how she handles her 3:00 AM calls: "I won't pay, so sue me!".

Nick   April 2nd, 2008 5:22 pm ET

This is great, if she's gonna keep on fighting, she needs to prove she can take on McCain…

Sara from Arizona   April 2nd, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Enough of these Clintons!!! OBAMA 08′

Mk   April 2nd, 2008 5:21 pm ET

It's 2008 do they really think that someone is going to call the white house at 3 am on an old red telephone?????
This ad is old.. Old…OLD

Wise Dem.   April 2nd, 2008 5:21 pm ET

Polls after polls have shown that Mccain will be the best to answer that 3.00am phone call.

Sharon   April 2nd, 2008 5:21 pm ET

Obaaaammmmaa, gettin' angry…….

GO HILLARY!!!! Anyone see the NEW Quinnepiac POLLS…..No story from the media?????
HILLARY BEATS McCAIN NATIONALLY IN FLORIDA, PENNSYLVANIA AND OHIO!!!!!!!!!!!!! By GOOD amounts!!!!! McCAIN BEATS BO IN FL!!!!!!!!!
WHOO HOO!!!

B. Gamble   April 2nd, 2008 5:20 pm ET

. . . .Senator Obama recieved the endorsement of 9 / 11 commissioner
Lee Hamilton. I wonder if Hillary re-made this ad out of spite?

Marc   April 2nd, 2008 5:19 pm ET

The only red phone she should be answering is the one for her to quit.

Obama 08!

HH   April 2nd, 2008 5:18 pm ET

Here we go again, Im glad to see it is focused on John McCain.

Hillary its over. Take your million dollar club AND go back to New York.

ITS OVER if Billary DOES NOT win Pennsylvania by 25 points.

Quote Bill Clinton
"She needs a big big big win in PA"

F. Seville, Maryland   April 2nd, 2008 5:16 pm ET

The 9 / 11 commissioner Lee Hamilton endorsed Senator Obama today.
This obviouly makes him more capable of answering the red phone. (Hillary just got a touch of green envy, and countered with an ad.)

Shane   April 2nd, 2008 5:16 pm ET

I like this Ad. She looks like a leader now. Thanks..Hillary.

wisdom002   April 2nd, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Ah God! give us a break!!! It's just the routine!

Sea_Kenchan   April 2nd, 2008 5:15 pm ET

We all know who is going to be answering the 3 AM phone call. It's Bill Clinton saying, "honey, I"ll get it." She is not a legitimate presidential candidate. She is a vice presidential candidate for Bill's third term. Any vote for Hillary is a vote for Billary. Are we to choose between McCain (W's third term), or Billary's third term?

Gail DiBennardo   April 2nd, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Senator Clinton is the best choice for the party. She's smart, she's experienced, just has more of the political ins and outs that a candidate needs. I would love to see 8 years of Senator Clinton and then 8 more years of Obama. By then he will be ready to take the helm and we can say that for 16 years the government was in good democratic hands. By the way, I like the ad

Carlos   April 2nd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

I wonder what Bill will be doing at 3 a.m., while Hillary is answering phone calls of all sorts…

Joel   April 2nd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Yes I know it is three am. Maam. But I have come up with another great lie about Obama for you to release just before the PA vote. Yes Maam it is even better than the Nafta lie we used to fool the Ohio voters.

Lisa from GA   April 2nd, 2008 5:12 pm ET

I am Hillary Clinton and I approve this ad….blah blah blah blah.
I am an Obama supporter and I approve this ad SUCKS!!!!!!

Just like you Hillary.. what a joke!

I am tired of the phone ringing method… Slick Hillbilly can't you come up with something different…..

Washington   April 2nd, 2008 5:12 pm ET

3.am Red Phone ad is an insult to the people of Rwanda. Paul Rusesabagina called the White House for several times during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, but no body did anything. From Kigali the city of Rwanda, Paul Rusesabagina called the White House at 3.am which was 10.am their time. If Hilary Clinton continues with this kind of ad, i think i will backfire across the board. Hilary Clinton failed to act when the phone rang at 3.am in 1994.

Angela D   April 2nd, 2008 5:10 pm ET

Wait…I'm suppose to take someone who can't manage the fiscal responsibilities of their own presidential nominee campaign seriously when it comes to the economy of the entire country? John McCain may not be up on economics as some believe he should be but out of the 3 candidates in this race, Hillary Clinton is by and far the last one to point any fingers at any time of day or night.

4REAL   April 2nd, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Hillary that is the wrong message to send to people. Why would the White House at 3:am be making judgement on something that could wait until 7am. Get real this is studpid. I hope that when people see this ad for home foreclosure and jobs, it will lead them to think you can handle this crisis at 3am. Poor judgement Hillary. This is not a 3am crisis. You can't talk to anybody about foreclosure and jobs at 3am in the morning unless you are trading overseas. Thank you

uchujin   April 2nd, 2008 5:09 pm ET

She thinks she's sleep deprived now???? If she ever was lucky enough to pull off getting elected despite all the lies and deceit, that phone won't just ring at 3:00am, it'll ring all night 'cause she'll have everything so messed up it'll just be one crisis after another. And that won't be the only phone ringing. The non-crisis line won't stop either with everyone trying to get their favors repaid. This country will be in an even bigger mess. I'm sleep deprived too worrying about my construction related business, but it doesn't make want to lie to the whole country.

andrea, Illinois   April 2nd, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Give me a break…..
I really don't like Hillary, but this tops everything. Are they really that stupid????? How about using the money to pay off the bills instead of airing a new, useless ad? She seriously wants to convince me that she has the right ideas for our economy, when her own campaign is an utter mess? Boy, Hillary, you really should go home, before you have nothing left.

Tanya K, White girl from the South   April 2nd, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Fellow Democrats: Obama and Clinton have made me upset with this sguabbling and nonsence, but one cannot win without the other. I am a Hillary supporter, but a shared ticket would do fine for me. Maybe Obama can be a uniter.

Devo-Mar   April 2nd, 2008 5:08 pm ET

correction: To bad in 1947, nobody believed a spouse would run for the office president.

gerard morei   April 2nd, 2008 5:07 pm ET

Great Hillary, I;m glad you concentrate now on your next opponent.
Real Americans will vote for Hillary Clinton.
Hillary for President 2008!!!!!

Carolyn   April 2nd, 2008 5:06 pm ET

So you save money if you re-tread your old commercials?

Hillary   April 2nd, 2008 5:06 pm ET

At least she is not still co-signing for the GOP and attacking Barack/ Finally!!!!

Devo-Mar   April 2nd, 2008 5:06 pm ET

The Clintons needs to give up on the psychics. President Clinton will not see a third term in the White House. Senator Clinton should not even be considered as eligible to run under article 22, by her own word she acted as co-President under her husband.
To bad in 1947 nobody believed a souse would run for the office President.

dlr   April 2nd, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Really needs to end her campaign and start working for the Democratic party by supporting Sen. Obama! That's being a true sportman. Remember Apollo? He knew when to hang it up and support Rocky. She is definitely no Rocky. She the leading candidate in Pennsylvania.

Joe   April 2nd, 2008 5:04 pm ET

So Hillary answers the 3 am call herself? What the ad fails to mention is that she answers it at 5 am because it took her 2 hours to put on the pantsuit, the gold jewelry, and do her hair and makeup.

Dinesh   April 2nd, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Nice, now at least your ad's against mccain.

George from Minneapolis   April 2nd, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Obama's campaign has been run much better than Clinton's. She had to loan her campaign money and reorganized her staff during the campaign. While Obama has bettered her in every category.

So, my question is:

If she can't run a campaign better than Obama, how is she going to run the country better than Obama ???

All rational replies welcomed.

Kurt   April 2nd, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Ellie   April 2nd, 2008 5:03 pm ET

NOT another phone ringing ad…. oh my GOD, say it isn't so.

The first phone AD backfired on HER and YET she still has NOT learned her lesson. If your first attempt did NOT work, do use it again, try something else. Can the Clinton camp come up with something original?

This is really making me sick to my stomach, I can't even listen to anything else Sen. Clinton has to say.

Cindy   April 2nd, 2008 5:02 pm ET

This Ad will help her win in Pennsylvania!!! Nice job!

California girl   April 2nd, 2008 5:02 pm ET

LaLa in KCMO   April 2nd, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Right on Cindy! She is taking aim at the right person!

Looks like she's tired of spinning her wheels in the mud by trying to slam Obama.

Hillary, are you ready to endorse Obama? He's got 3 Superdelegates in the last week. How many have you gathered? … oh, none. Well you could make it 4 for Obama in one week!

Obama 2008 and 2012

Marc in DeKalb, IL   April 2nd, 2008 5:00 pm ET

It's 3am, Hillary answers the phone to address an economic problem, she tells you that the Keebler elves already told you that they'd take care of it.

These things can happen when you are tired and mispeak…

jamie   April 2nd, 2008 4:59 pm ET

My god she is tiring!

Sam Rose   April 2nd, 2008 4:59 pm ET

This has been WAY OVER DONE…….
Couldn't she get creative and find a new ad?

People have been polled and think this 3am stuff is really
dumb—

mp   April 2nd, 2008 4:59 pm ET

I can't imagine why Clinton keeps harping back to this 3am call theme. It's an awful and a ridiculous ad that just makes her look foolish and gives fodder to late night show hosts. I can't believe this is the best they can come up with. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Clinton supporter but running crap like this doesn't even give her a shot at pulling ahead.

Jeff in WI   April 2nd, 2008 4:59 pm ET

I'm not trusting sleep deprived Hillary with any 3 am phone calls.

James   April 2nd, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Obama knows about as much about crisis intervention on the economy as he knows about bowling. But he certainly looks good in a suit. Of course that's all he's going to need to convince all the world leaders that he is the new messiah. Can he sing? Maybe he should be on American Idol.

Justin   April 2nd, 2008 4:59 pm ET

This premise is so tired and I think everyone is over it.

Not to mention the fact that the red phone would NEVER ring at 3 am. All the markets/businesses are closed at that time. Plus, if you go to sleep as President and need a phone call in the middle of the night to realize how bad the economy is, maybe you're not as prepared and ready as you think. You should have been taking care of this matter during the day.

My hunch is that she does not have enough money to advertise in PA more, so by recycling this 3 am concept she is guaranteed free air time by networks commenting on and replaying this ad.

Real Deal   April 2nd, 2008 4:58 pm ET

It's 3 AM. There is a crisis in the Democratic Party. The problem is John McCain and a possible 3rd term for Bush and company. Democrats UNITE!!! Answer the phone and vote Democratic!!!

Stanley   April 2nd, 2008 4:58 pm ET

yeah, and do you really believe she's gonna pick up that phone?

judy   April 2nd, 2008 4:58 pm ET

NET LOSS on promises 230,000 jobs!

Whaooooo!

Get Real   April 2nd, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Retired Professional White Woman: I am sure the girl sleeping in the first ad never "dreamed" that she would be in a presidential ad someday. It doesn't matter that she is for Obama now that she is grown. Why would she object or even go on air saying she objects to being in a Clinton ad or that she is an Obama supporter? She made her money and gave the rights to whoever to use it. Exactly what profession were you in not to understand that? What's your point?

pj   April 2nd, 2008 4:57 pm ET

i hope she didn't shoot the ad with more Obama supporters this time. but seriously, stop with the rediculous phone ad.

dan   April 2nd, 2008 4:57 pm ET

"Steward of the economy"??????????

The candidate cannot even balance the books for her campaign. Bills are going unpaid, including health insurance for her loyal staff.

And she wants us to believe she will do better with the federal budget??

Oh please.

I've never understood why some people think that Hillary should not, or would not, protect even an Obama supporter if she were to receive a 3:00 a.m. call in the White House. She wants to be the president of all the people, not just some.

Joe   April 2nd, 2008 4:56 pm ET

O8ama has a plan for the economy. Hillary has a speech she gave in PA last week. Hillary is (Bush Light). She said she would not pull out of Iraq in her first term. She is supported by the same sleazy Lobby crooks that Bush is. The Clinton/Bush dynasty has sent our jobs to China for the last twenty years! Please, end it now!

kab   April 2nd, 2008 4:55 pm ET

3 AM call is a joke now..and she still opted for that???

John Adkisson, Sacramento, California   April 2nd, 2008 4:55 pm ET

This campaign has blown a fuse. Why would she receive the call at 3am? Why would she answer it fully dressed? It made sense for a terror attack, but economic problems are not solved in the middle of the night. Who is running that outfit? Are they so low on cash they can't finance a new ad?

Rosa   April 2nd, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Hillary, like most women, has it in her to take charge of a situation without panic. Women plan ahead, we are take charge type by nature and can easily difuse a situation through careful thought and planning. Most men, depend on that the woman would have had a plan so therefore, go along for the long haul and hope it works. Hillary is an intelligent, organized, strong woman, capable of running this country with her eyes closed because, after 35 years, she has the next four years already planned out. She is about solutions and none of that speech crap.

3 AM   April 2nd, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Exactly what type of "economic crisis" has anyone handled at 3 AM?? The only economic transaction happening at 3AM is the type that got Spitzer kicked out office or former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry scoring some crack. More importantly, where is Bill Clinton at 3 AM?? Most wives are sound asleep with their husbands at that time. Maybe she should try that for a change instead of worry about an "economic crisis"

TC - South Beach   April 2nd, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Marie   April 2nd, 2008 4:55 pm ET

What does 3 a.m. have to do with the economy??? Okay, markets are open in other parts of the world, but is this something people worry deeply about happening at 3 o'clock in the morning, when there's nothing we here can really do about it anyway as it pertains to our own financial lives? An economic crisis? Let me know what's going on when I get up at 7:00, thanks.

Uh....what?   April 2nd, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Why is the current economic problem only a crisis at 3 am? Aren't there people losing their homes round the clock?

People, just vote for Obama and let's get this over with.

OBAMA '08.

Lynn D   April 2nd, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Look people. How many of us can remember specific details from 12 years ago? She misspoke. Haven't any of you ever said something that you totally believed was true and then you were proved that it was not how you remembered it? I have. I believe Senator Clinton remembered the Bosnia issue the way that she did because of all of the precautions that she was given at the time of the trip. But no matter what, Senator Clinton does have more experience than Senator Obama. Senator Clinton was not a sit an have tea type of First Lady. She actually participated in some of the day to day goings on in the White House. Just being there is more experience than Senator Obama has. Senator Clinton want to be president to help us. Senator Obama just wants to be the first African American to be president. Senator Obama's lie about Rev. Wrigtht was an outright lie. The more that you guys treat Senator Clinton unfair, the more people will rally behind her. Senator Obama will lose because of his cheap tricks. The issues cannot be discussed because of Senator Obama's crap.

Pam   April 2nd, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Is the girl who is now an Obama supporter still in the ad?

Ronnie   April 2nd, 2008 4:54 pm ET

This ad is absolutely ridiculous and misleading, just like the previous ad on National Security was. I have never heard of any economy being in crisis to the point that any president needs to be up anticipating a 3am phone call. A good president should not let things deteriorate to that point in this first place. Presently, I doubt even Pres. Bush is up all night concerned about the economy.

Kim in Houston   April 2nd, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Frank in Missouri   April 2nd, 2008 4:54 pm ET

That's so lame … to run that thing again after the Bosnia flop.

What's that anyway ? A 3am-call about the economy ? Homes are 'suddenly' in foreclosure in the middle of the night ?

So we dispatch the army, call in the air force ? LAME AND PATHETIC.

And by the way, Hillary, try your 'Commander in Chief Ready-On-Day-One' on McCain. It did not fly with Obama and you think you make that stick on ol' McCain ?

Dream in … it's 3am.

Southerner For Obama   April 2nd, 2008 4:53 pm ET

What kind of Ad is that suppose to represent. Hillary Hillary, who is fully dressed like you are in that ad at 3:00 in the morning?

As Bill would say "Give Me a Break"

Interesting   April 2nd, 2008 4:53 pm ET

She must be out of cash. She is even recycling ideas.

Can some one explain what kind of economic crisis occurs at 3 am? The whole premise is flawed.

She needs to get some sleep & stop dreaming of snipers.

Lee WV   April 2nd, 2008 4:53 pm ET

The old adage… if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The last time this ad ran Clinton gave Obama a wooping in Ohio so I was not surprise to see that Obama supporters are still against this. At least she is targeting John Mccain. Comon people, give her some slack.

I think everybody is forgetting that you don't have to be president to solve this nations problems. All three candidates are spouting off that they have the answers. Last time I checked, most legislation starts in congress and with three senators running for president that have all the answers, it would be nice if they got something done rather than tell us why the other persons plan is all wrong. Lets go senator, you want my vote, get something done now, promises don't feed the kids, heat the house or fuel up the car.

Your right Hillary, actions do speak louder than words.

jim, mpls   April 2nd, 2008 4:47 pm ET

I hope the people of Penn will be smarter than the folks in Ohio regarding these silly telephone ads. It's the idea of spreading fear. A very Republican value. Maybe she learned that tactic while she was a member of the Young Republicans in school. In any case, I don't want to imagine Hillary at 3am. Seriously. Let's choose a leader who has the ability to UNITE, not fight (like "Rocky" Clinton). Come on America, smarten up. Vote Obama. Let's stop wasting our time with Hillary, who is mathematically eliminated from the possibility of catching Obama's lead.
