I don't have a problem with her taking a shot of royal. I did go on to her website and tried to comment on her blog and with no success. On Obama's blog you can see your comment immediately after you post it. On her's obviously only the pro Hillary comments are posted. What happened to the idea of a good debate Hillary?

Wow, Canadian whiskey. She really DOES support free trade. She can't even drink American. Besides, I'd drink too if I was as behind as she is given that she should have wrapped the nomination up in February.

She has the momentum going to PA & Indiana, she can even win North Carolina. She is now on her way to close this long winded primary!

Obama is an elitist, his grandma & his wife are elitist. He's not a true down to earth candidate! I really don't trust him.

I believe everyone is missing the point to this...The real questions is not about politics, it is a question of if she chased the shot with her beer or not.

Hillary did exagerate her trip to Bosnia but GUESS WHAT ?? She was there and she has traveled to other countries to fight for rights of women, peace and numerous other stuff. Also, she seems to be the only one to have previoulsy taken up health care especially for children and she is still on that. And despite all the money they earned writing books we bought and the speeches Bill was paid for they still genuinely care about the American people and they always will. Heck with all that money they could just kick back on a yacht somewhere instead of going from town to town and they make more money out of the White House than in it...NO folks wake up the Clintons do care and should be in DC again and then we will all be working again and the budget could be balanced again and we would have someone that is proud all of their life of this country!! ...Barack is not black or white he is a mixed breed and bitter about it..when actually it is ok and most people no longer even notice as long as you are hard working, law abiding and patriotic. Just seeems that he is forever having to retract statements and put a different spin on them then what he said the first time. I do not trust him would rather have HRC at the helm. If not her than I will vote repub for the 1st time in my 66 years.

Do you really think the wealthy Obama fans drink only American wine and eat only American cheese? Grow Up. In Feb '08 Obama bragged that he didn't understand the not inhaling part because "inhaling is the point" to thunderous applause from the crowd. It's on tape CNN.
Hillary is TOO LEGIT to QUIT!

How is her getting drunk fiting in with regular Americans?? Not all of us Americans get drunk... And I don't perticularly think she should be getting publically intoxicated, as that she is a public figure, and is supposed to be a role model for the youth. This is the second time I have seen her drinking on the job, just from CNN alone. Do we want someone who has to drink to make it through the day as President?

That was the weakest shot I have ever seen. For starters she only took a sip, and she wasn’t even talking to the locals, the whole time she was talking to that guy in the suit. I bet Obama would have thrown down an entire shot of American whiskey and had a good time with the locals.

she'll be needing alot more to keep her going when Obama beats her in Pennsylvania! Let's see what other lies she can start!!!! She is losing ground quickly and she knows it. The American people know what she and her husband are about-LIES! We deserve a President who can be honest and bring about real change.

I am bitter for the state of our beautiful American because of the
administration of the last 8 years. I will be bitter if a woman that
has taken part in selling our country down the river, ever makes
it to be President. I could not cast a vote for her. It would make
me sick and very ill. I just could not do it. And no McCain, either.
Sometimes I think Hillary is "one of them" She joined a prayer
group consisting of almost all the Republicans in office.
If a liar becomes President we will be laughed at. We are
about to continue the mess that we have already because her
best friends are Republicans.

STILLDON'TGETIT- You clearly lack to understand. Please tell me what part of the statement you posted WAS NOT the truth? People do vote on issues of religion or guns or racism when they are turned off and bitter. I am surprised that you have never met such a person.

Just thining. Why didn't HRC say this much about the race speech or any other Obama speech? She's just sitting there like a spider waiting to launch on the smallest thing. Then MSM like a bunch of ratings grabbing idiots is blowing it up.

I hope the HRC fans see the why your girl has gotten the easy ride in the media. Any misstep by Obama and he is up against the ropes having to fend her off. When it's her turn, she's got excuses (tired, misspoke, etc). I am so sick of this primary. When will it end?

The Clintons made $109 million last year. And nothing she ever does is not pre-meditated and calculated. She pulls this calculated "shot and beer" move to try to fool us into thinking she's one of us? And all of a sudden, she's pro-gun? When her husabnd wasn't.

This is what the Clintons are best at – lies and pandering. And some people are just stupid enough to fall for it. That's what frightens me.

Wow what groundbreaking news.

For the Obama supporters..Its not the word bitter that has people upset. Its the fact that Obama followed that by calling rural voters bigots who cling to guns and religion. Now he even regrets those comments, but he has not apologized. It would be okay if he said people were bitter and frustrated, but he didn't stop there. This was also said in a setting where he thought no one would hear him speak. He and all his supporters can try but the simple fact is he called millions of americans bigots.

Obama only connects during prepared speeches. When he is own his own he has no understanding about how most americans really feel. This is evident during debates when he stutters and has issues with the questions.

Obama made a mistake, a major one and he and his supporters should admit he did so.

if obama fans believe obama will take the nomination then why are they so worried about what hillary supporters think? according to obama just let the uneducated bitter hillary supporters cling to their own personal comforts.... like beer and pizza and then dance to a little tune that goes " i have friends in low places...."

. .Is Hillary the type of person anyone wants for president? She lies
with such a straight face. This is disrespect to the American people.
You would have to have a low IQ to fall for anything she says. No wonder
more educated voters are for Senator Obama. One would have to be dishonest like her to vote for her.

I'm amazed & glad she wants to be the president, I wouldn't want to represent some of you hypocritical fools, you'll criticize anything she does. Dear God, there are some people who actually want to contribute and do something positive for this world & some of you can't stand it because it makes you see what you don't do. Have another shot Hillary, any liquor you want, Thank you and God bless you for all you have contributed to this world. Sincerely a "typical white person" who knows "bitter people who cling to guns & religion", but aren't bitter enough to listen to hatemongering preachers!!

So? Is this the best news we can find? Hillary had a drink. I had one last night. What's the big deal? It just proves she is a real person, and like a lot of us who have a drink from time to time. I don't see that as having anything whatsoever to do with her character, or her ability to govern.

By: melissa

She shot innocent ducks as a child, now she takes whiskey shots as an adult. She looks silly and how appropriate given she's instigated this silly season of politics.

This woman lies, tries to cover up NAFTA-gate and laughs off significant issues. She has proven herself unelectable time and time again whereas Sen. Obama has proven himself a born leader. I want a President who hears the voice of the American people and acts upon that, Not a hypocritical wannabe like Hillary who is so desperate she drinks whiskey to try and prove a point. She's lost it.

As a Gun owning, White, Religious, Resident of a small town. I forgive Obama for this minor verbal gaffe. I wish CNN was not playing Hillary's sleazy game at manufacturing a contrived controversy just before the PA primary. This is the exact same game that Hillary pulled just before the Ohio vote. Hillary is truly the master of manipulation and CNN is her lap dog. Bottom line is, only Obama is not tainted by the crooked Lobby groups that have run this country for the last twenty years of Bush / Clinton. Only Obama is not profiting from the war in Iraq and is truly committed to bringing our heroic troops home.

Hey CNN, it's time for you to stop backing a LIAR and start listening the majority of Americans.. Obama speaks on our behalf. not MILLIONARES like Clintons... It's time for you to go to those ‘small towns' and see that Barack is telling the truth! Get out of your offices, guys, forget about your huge salaries and look at the real world !!

Holy bird lipping batman! If that is what Hilary calls taking a shot we are in trouble. I am sorry but I want a President who knows how to properly handle a drink. Think I am kidding? FDR was a great president and one of his hobbies during WWII was to actually bartend for friends at the White House. He had one rule, that no one talked about the War or politics. He had a good time and it helped keep his close advisor's heads on straight. For you history buff's out there FDR's specialty was making a Vodka Martini actually mixed with a bit of Absinthe.

Let's say Hillary nabs the nomination - by hook or crook. The #1 question republicans will be asking is where has Bill been placing his "private parts" over the course of the last seven years? I doubt Hillary can answer that question honestly or definitively, but you can be guaranteed the republican machine already has the scoop on him - and the nation will hear about any and all "indiscretions" come October - that will be the "bitter truth" for democrats in '08. Bill couldn't control himself while occupying the Oval Office nor has Bill been able to control himself on the campaign trail. Does anyone believe he has really been able to control his "personal behavior" since leaving the White House??? The american people will not opt to go back to that soap opera. The campaign in the fall (if Hillary is the nominee) will not be about issues and/or ideas -- it will be about Bill - it always has been about Bill and it always will be about Bill.
