Clinton campaigned in Indiana Tuesday.

BROWNSBURG, Indiana (CNN) — As Hillary Clinton and John McCain’s separate proposals for a summertime elimination of the gas tax continue to be a focus for all three candidates, Clinton said Thursday insisted her plan isn’t a cure-all, but a temporary break for those feeling the pinch of high gas prices.

“Invariably someone will say something along the lines of, "Well, you know, we shouldn’t be doing these short-term fixes, we shouldn’t try to relieve people’s pain at the pump. We should only have long-term plans.’” Clinton told a small gathering outside Indianapolis. “We need both! It is not either/or.”

“Sen. Obama says we shouldn’t do it and it’s a gimmick, and Sen. McCain says we should do it but we shouldn’t pay for it.” She added. “I sometimes feel like the Goldilocks of this campaign. You know, not too much, not too little. Just right.”

“This isn't a real solution. This is a gimmick,” Obama countered. “This is what Washington does whenever there's a big problem. They pretend that they're solving it to try to get though political season but they don't really solve it.

Meanwhile, Clinton strategist Geoff Garin said their polling has shown "working people appreciate the fact that Senator Clinton understands the incredible economic strain they are facing."

How about reporting some of the reactions to her plan, or is that not allowed? We finally get a topic of substance, yet no discussion or counterpoint…HMMMM

Mayor Bloomberg of NYC gave his opinion today as did the Speaker of the House of Representatives Ms. Nancy Pelosi (D), Governor of Arkansas, numerous economists etc

This is a hot topic issue, considered news

Another scoop might have been the Formal Protest filed at the UN today by Iran over Sen Clinton's remarks to obliterate them….Lead news on most international broadcasts tonite….Seems relevant to the Primary season here in America

Please Post, Interested in hearing peoples comments
Thanks

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   May 1st, 2008 7:19 pm ET

She said on National T.V. that she would consider Obliberating

Iran. Is that smart or just lack of self control? Sounds like Bush to me
.
Poor Judgement to say the least. If Iran said that about us, what would

happen to us? Dumb Hillary Clinton. Shame on you, Hillary Clinton!!

What Summer are they planning this big Gas Tax Holiday? As far as I know George Bush will still be President during the Summer of 08.

PAUL PROVIDENCE RI   May 1st, 2008 7:17 pm ET

The gas tax break will not help anyone in the long run. If you are that stupid to believe that a tax cut for 3 months is going to save you a few dollars, then you are no idea why the tax is there for the first place. The tax is for rebuilding the highways and you take that a way, no work, for there is no funding. More then a year ago Hillary was calling for highway and bridge rebuilding. Where does this money come from Hillary? Please don't answer that phone at 3 am, it will take you to long to put on your make up and jewery. Vote for anyone but her.

I'm sorry. I'm a lifelong democrat and I think this woman is pure evil. I WILL vote for McCain if she steals the nomination away with her lies, acts and unctuousness. And you can take that to the bank. She can drive across the country strong-arming superdelegates all she wants but she won't steal MINE.

HILLARY CLINTON DIRECTED THE BIGGEST CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISER FRAUD IN HISTORY. She illegally solicited, coordinated and then covered-up more than $1.2 million expended for her Senate campaign by the Hollywood impressario PETER PAUL who wanted to become a post White House business partner with Bill and her family. LOOK IT UP ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CRITICIZE OBAMA. THIS CASE IS ACTUALLY REAL!!!!

R2   May 1st, 2008 7:14 pm ET

Hillary: I will obliterate Iran.
McCain: I will stay in Iraq for 100 years and bomb Iran.

for all those, who does not think that AMERICA is still in the dark ages, and should pay for what she did to the black people, let me remind you all,(1) lynchings,(2) a black man was 3/5 human,(3) a black man should not vote,(4) a black man should not ride in the front of the bus, and the last black lady that did ride in the front of the bus,was fined $10.00 and charged $4.00 for paper work, mr KIN was a man of love, and you still kill the man, you all say god bless AMERICA, well if god does bless AMERICA after all you have done to the black people, then i will never set foot in another CHURCH, I am 67 years of age, i was there, and i saw it all, I am now going to look for my GOD, wish me luck, thank you.

NO WAY- Goldilocks had sense enough to leave at the end of the story. This story has been over for some time now. When are you leaving?

jp/michigan   May 1st, 2008 7:13 pm ET

Sorry! Hillary wants the tax cut for 6 months. Obama wants the dog and pony show!

jp/michigan   May 1st, 2008 7:11 pm ET

Temporary relief from high gas prices by taking away the gas tax, even for 6 month espically during the summer is better than nothing. That is what Oabam wants to do. Same old dog and pony show, make changes in Washington. Well, those changes he talks about could take years, many, many years. With Obama , your back to the hope and inspriation bologna!

Momma looking for truth   May 1st, 2008 7:10 pm ET

Garin works for Clinton not Obama.

Is this really the most substancial news story CNN can run about Hillary…what about the bot calls in an effort to supress the vote? How about the negative tv ads….Why aren't people paying attention to the fact that the mainstream media is spoonfeeding us baloney straight from the Clinton campaign? Please folks wake up…Our country's future hangs in the balance.

Hillary runs for New York Governor, and gets run out of the state by Stephen Colberts bears.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT PERSONA HILLARY TAKES ON, IN NORTH CAROLINA. A FORMER NASCAR DRIVER?

Rebecca Camdine   May 1st, 2008 7:04 pm ET

Now that Hillary Clinton's Pastor has been arrested for Sexual Molestation What will the Media say about this and how long will they pounce on her if at all. Well here it is: When the Rev. William Procanick put his hand on the Bible
during his sex-abuse trial in Oneida County Court earlier this year,
he swore to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But as the
former Clinton pastor was sentenced Friday to three years in prison for
inappropriately touching a 7-year-old girl at his home last March, Judge
Michael L. Dwyer said Procanick sacrificed his honesty the day he testified.

Okay, so now that Clinton 's pastor has been convicted
of child molestation, will we see the same furor directed at Hillary
that Obama has had to endure these last few weeks?

IF CANDIDATES ARE KNOWN BY THE PASTOR THEY KEEP ……
Then you need to email this article to everyone you know.
Here the CLINTON 'S Pastor is convicted of child
molestation. So, if Obama bears the guilt for his pastor's comments,
then Hillary has to be equally tainted by this guy's crimes.
More to come.
What Say You-All?

Paul vs. Clinton. How will Hillary run the country from a jail cell? (Which,by the way, is exactly where she belongs.)

Nikita   May 1st, 2008 7:03 pm ET

In our midst is a rare individual who knows how to get things done. Hillary Clinton is exactly what this country needs. Hillary is beautifully brilliant on economic policy and actually listens to the voters. She will redirect NAFTA, lower gas prices and increase jobs. Hillary has made perfect sense since day one of the campaign with precise answers that leave little doubt. Unlike Bush, Hillary will emerge one of the best presidents for the United States of America.

JP   May 1st, 2008 7:02 pm ET

dorothy   May 1st, 2008 7:01 pm ET

Barack Obama, is right we do not want a quick fix, and to resolve the situation. Because even a regular person, do the math, and to save approximately $9.00, and we still must buy food, gas, health care, house payment, child care. GIVE ME A BREAK AND GET REAL WITH REAL SOLUTIONS!

I'd rather there NOT be this gas holiday…

So I can feel secure driving across a bridge knowing it's not going to collapse…

Thanks for the extra change but no thanks!

Safety for Americans driving on the road should be 1st priority, plus there is no guarantee that the price of gas will not continue going up…

I don't think either McCain nor Hillary have the people's interests and safety in mind….

California Girl   May 1st, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Excellent idea during the vacation season. HIllary is awesome and she does does make a great Goldilocks. California loves Hillary!

Randy - Denver   May 1st, 2008 7:00 pm ET

I admit it I am a Bitter Obama supporter. you see I went to school I learned economics, I was an enlisted in the military for over 20 years where I learned a bit about leadership and patriotism, I raised three children and sent them to college mostly while making under $40K in my best, last year in the military. Since I was not often on a base my children were covered under Champus and Tricare, meaning partly out of my own pocket so I understand a little about not having money. I have moved on the average every three years from NY to SC to ID to Fl to CA and WA so you might say I know a bit about the people of America. So why am I bitter you ask.. the reason is simple I am bitter because the best hope we have had, in my adult lifetime, to lead America back towards what is should be, is being railroaded by someone who doesn't care about the real people who cannot see the damage they are doing, who has lied and cheated America and done her best to destroy this one good man and people claim this man who rose from a single parent household drawing foodstamps to potentially being the holder of the highest office of the land is somehow an elitist.. yes I am bitter, after the last 7 years of watching the country I fought for, I served being destroyed from within I have to sit here and watch you people, most of which have never done a THING for this country, try to further destroyu it on the whim of a liar who has disrespected my service too many times for it to be acceptable.. yes I am bitter I have, by some of your wishes it appears, wasted my life serving you only to see you destroy what I risked my life for to maintain.. bitter yes, Obama support HELL YES! I would rather vote for McCain than this "person" anytime and I dislike his policies… so there you have it folks her campaign has destroyed ANY chance of me ever supporting her or if, by another election like the last tow she gets voted in, the government she will head…

The Clinton's want another Dynasty. The Bush's had their Dynasties. Stop all the petty polls and gossip over things that have absolutely no relevance to the direction of the USA. Peace and prosperity and how to achieve them as quickly as possible should be top priority.

After reading every candidate's issues from their own sites and how they plan on handling them, Obama far outweighs the other two.

Everyone knows, or should know, that their pastors at one time or another have said things they didn't agree with. What my pastor said had no bearing on what I believed to be right.

Making an intelligent choice in this election can turn the fate of America. I do believe Senator Obama can turn everything in a positive direction because of his innate ability to bring both sides together. I do believe that Senator Clinton will cause a stale mate in the recovery of this nation because of her attitude toward republicans. I do believe that Senator McCain is far too elderly to hold office and will continue in Iraq.

M. Felder   May 1st, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Political Postering, I think that $600 stimulus check will go much further than that hair brain scheme to give us a $30 gas relief. I'll take a $30 rebate or gift card, please.

Maxine   May 1st, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Hillary Rodham Clinton admended her disclosure reports over the weekend to account for $5 million she loaned her presidential campaign in January. Though it was widely known the New York senator used the funds to help rally support for her White House bid during the early primaries, an accounting oversight left the information missing from reports filed at the Federal Election Commission.

The new disclosure brings her total debt to $15.3 million through March, compared to $662,784 for her Democratic opponent Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. While both have debt, they both also have a considerable amount of cash on hand, Obama with $51 million to Clinton's nearly $32 million.

Now I ask you is she someone who understands how to run a budget….And I am sorry it will work for a short term fix during the busiest time of the year? summer with more cars traveling? it will still benefit the oil producers not us…..yeah I want it to get fixed, but we drop the 18% for three months and then what????????

GG/NYC   May 1st, 2008 6:56 pm ET

Its really funny how scared you Obamabots are. I am not even going to toll the virtues of my alraedy immensly qualified candidate. I'm just going to sit back and let America (and the Superdelegates) make the wise decision, and laugh laugh laugh at all of you 'bitter' latte drinking Obamabats who can't believe their polished little speaker could come so completely undone….but, yet, as the polls show TODAY, he has. Virtual tie between the two according to today's natinoal poll.

Fed up Democrat   May 1st, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Goldilocks?Hmmm. There have been so many scathing stories this past few weeks about Hillary that get a brief mention, and then disappear. We have to remember that the reason is is that many Americans can't bare to handle the change that is about to come. The MSM will realise that they are irresponsible at best and the public will as well. Ratings are dropping as we speak as I' can't even watch MSNBC any longer. Washington and the true elitist don't want change and too much of the American people don't know how to deal with change- change in politics, change in government, change in economics, education- I could go on. I choose to try to believe it is more about fear than stupidity. I can believe in that and the good sense of the American people when I see SD's making sensible decisions and when those of who true believers and plan to be involved in the Obama dream and plan for America write sensible and honest comments on the various blogs. It is actually sad for those who are so blinded by the hype and memories of the past and the present Clintons and Repubs. The only candiodate who will ever do anything for the Clinton and McCain base is Barack Obama, but these people are too frightened (if not delusional like their candidates) to realise that. I do hope that the media runs with the situation with Iran and all issues international where Hillary and McCain will be the literal death of this country. For our future and the future of our children, please please wake up. Obviously Goldilocks has confused herself with Pinocchio.

Jo   May 1st, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Hey! Leave Hillary alone! She is the candidate that has the experience and strength needed to run this country. Sure she feels like she is constantly being critized, no matter what she says. I wonder how many people that blog on this site are actually paid by Obama. It seems like the majority must be on his campaign staff; otherwise, they would shut up criticizing Hillary and pay attention to the shallowness and deceit of Obama.

Nunya   May 1st, 2008 6:53 pm ET

“This isn't a real solution. This is a gimmick,” Obama countered. “This is what Washington does whenever there's a big problem. They pretend that they're solving it to try to get though political season but they don't really solve it.

Meanwhile, Obama strategist Geoff Garin said their polling has shown "working people appreciate the fact that Senator Clinton understands the incredible economic strain they are facing."

AMAZING!
People recognize Senator Clinton understands the incredible economic strain they are facing!! This Chick ALL FOR SHOW went to the gas station and didn't even know how to pump gas! This Chick ALL FOR SHOW attempted to pour coffee, but needed help!! She didn't know how to do the simplest things that THE PEOPLE have to do on a day to day basis. This CHICK DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE WHO THE PEOPLE ARE LET ALONE WHAT THE PEOPLE NEED!! NEITHER Hillary NOR McCain has shared in the same WORLD AS THE PEOPLE!!! BOTH only offer BS!! EVERY financial analyst has stated that this offer is no more than BULL@@##!!

THEY WILL SAVE THE PEOPLE A GRAND $9 BUCKS PER MONTH ONLY TO INCREASE THE PRICES AFTER THIS SAVINGS!
AMAZING!!

Obama is the only one that is brave and truthful enough to tell THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH,BUT THE PEOPLE ONLY WANT BUL@@##!!

Rick in Oregon   May 1st, 2008 6:52 pm ET

A few things.

1. This short term solution would help truck drivers a HELL OF A LOT more than $25.00 people. That is who this is for. That could help lower food costs. Think in bigger pictures here.

2. Hillary is the only one that is thinking in short term AND long term. This is the kind of thinking that deals with a crisis and works to make sure it doesn't happen again.

3. Obama has voted for a gas tax holiday before, so he is being hypocritical when he dogs someone else for liking the plan.

Oh, and one more thing…you silly people that don't do your research need to realize that Hillary's pastor didn't go to Jail, it was a pastor from a Church named Clinton. Sheesh.

Alex   May 1st, 2008 6:51 pm ET

If she truly cared about the American people like she so desperately claims she would have conceded a long time ago. She’s a selfish, ego centric, power hungry monster. Obama IS what’s best for this country…she knows it. She just doesn’t care. In her mind her ego, and her bank accounts are more important than the welfare of this country. Reminds me a lot of Cheney and Bush.

Peggy Shelton   May 1st, 2008 6:51 pm ET

I watch no other channel for news than CNN because I felt they gave the most unbiased reports (The Whole Picture)
My Favorite being Wolf
So as a Loyal Fan, Wolf, I would like to ask, WHY is it when you presented the comparrison of the candidates suggestions on what they would do about the current Gas prices. You gave Obama's complete answer and McCains complete answer but you shaved off the second part of Hillarys proposal?????? She agreed with the Tax suspension as an immediate relief but she also had a follow up plan to replace the money it would deplete from the Roads fund and you completely ignored that?
Also why is the Candidates answer called Pandering because they are not yet in control when they are only offering these proposals in ANSWER to the Questions being put to them?
I thought CNN was fair to all and more importantly on the PEOPLE'S side

Jack Robertson   May 1st, 2008 6:51 pm ET

Well at least Hillary knows a lot about fairy tales. She has told more than her fair share of them during the campaign.

Ilona Proud Canadian   May 1st, 2008 6:50 pm ET

CNN, can you not see how disgusted and disillusioned people are becoming about Hillary Clinton? Is there nothing that you can do about this? This election process is really creating phenomenal stress for the voters. Why don't you (or can't you) tell the American People about Paul vs Clinton? At least if they knew that there was a gag order, or something valid, that prevents you from exposing this huge Clinton problem, people would understand, otherwise this just looks like some kind of huge media collusion?.

I don't watch you guys anymore, I can't, your bias is so obvious. Hillary has had a free run these past few months. Why?? I think it's because the people that sign your paychecks, and all the other MSM companies, are scared to death of Barack Obama. He doesn't want your money, doesn't want you, and those like you, to have that kind of influence on him, so you have been trying to destroy him. It has been a disgusting display of TV journalism (so called) these past few months. But, guess what, Obama is still going to win this thing, and this country is finally going to start addressing the real problems. Biased American MSM has been the single most scary thing I've witnessed in a long time. You are trying to steer the story, and it reeks!

Federal Crime: Peter Paul Vs Hillary Clinton event was the largest event ever produced for a US President in Hollywood, it was the largest private concert produced closed to the public and it was the largest fundraising event ever produced for a Senator. It also became a federal crime when Hillary Clinton's campaign hid the source and amount of Peter Paul's $1.2 million plus expenditures for Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Obama did vote for the Gas tax relief when Gas was like below 1.60 but with gas here in Texas 3.50 or more it will not be much of a savings. Maybe Hillary supporters will love 30 bucks but that wont do much for me this summer.

If you research this issue Obama did vote for it in IL and most of the savings actually went to the oil companies and the public. So the public roads loss funding and the oil companies got richer. When he realized that this was not successful he choose not to support it. Every economist and expert that has researched this agrees that it is not a good idea. Of course it sounds good to potential voters unless they do a little research on their own and then it is clear that none of use want to add to the profits of the oil company. Hillary was told this but choose to try to use it for political gain–hopefully the public realizes the truth. This is one reason she lost the superdelegate this morning.

Sen. Obama voted for the 2005 Energy Bill, written in secret by Vice President Cheney and the energy lobby. Thomas Friedman referred to the bill as "the sum of all lobbies." U.S. PIRG noted that the bill's "heavy tilt toward big oil companies reflects the influence of Exxon Mobil and other oil companies on policy-makers in Washington, DC."
1. The Washington Post editorialized that the bill was a "piñata of perks for energy industries." Indeed, the bill contained $6 billion in subsidies to the oil and gas industry and $12 billion to the nuclear power industry.

Please no more Clintons.

Jim T   May 1st, 2008 6:32 pm ET

she keeps comparing herself to fictitious characters – rocky getting his butt whooped and goldilocks who was a thief, when this is all over – she'll be a fairy tale herself.

angelina   May 1st, 2008 6:31 pm ET

oh this is how delusional she is, first she was comparing herself to Rocky a ficitonal character
now with goldilocks,……….boy o boy

next: she will say she is monica lewinsky in blonde

hillarioussssssssssssssssssss

John Tilert   May 1st, 2008 6:31 pm ET

If Barack gets the nomination, John McCain will be the next president. Let there be no doubt. As things stand, Hillary Clinton is our BEST bet to get this nation back on the right track. I support Clinton 100%! So should you.

"Speaking to reporters at City Hall, Bloomberg said of the gas tax holiday,'"It's about the dumbest thing I've heard in an awful long time, from an economic point of view. We're trying to discourage people from driving and we're trying to end our energy dependence … and we're trying to have more money to build infrastructure.'"

Michael Bloomberg from Hillary's state of New York.

jon   May 1st, 2008 6:28 pm ET

CNN, ya got a typo in the last sentence:

Meanwhile, Obama strategist Geoff Garin said their polling has shown "working people appreciate the fact that Senator Clinton understands the incredible economic strain they are facing."

It should read "… Clinton strategist Geoff Garin…"

Kim   May 1st, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Fantasy metaphors huh. Hillary should be compared to the wicked witch of the east. Grab your broom and fly away witch Hillary. Before someone drops a house on you.

Jenny, TX   May 1st, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Thank you, senator Hillary Clinton, for your understand of the pain we have.

Hillary '08

Another war   May 1st, 2008 6:26 pm ET

SHe's started another war, this time with Iran. They actually filed a UN complaint against her for her obliteration comment. Good judgement Hillary!!!! Tell us again why you should be our president.
Peter Paul vs. Clinton, look it up people

Tonya South Carolina   May 1st, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Hillary supporters why are you supporting her holiday gas tax people please think about this they will be using money that we don't have if you are educated you will know nothing plus nothing leaves nothing they will be taking money from the state and we need that money to reconstruct our roads and bridges all I can say is go ahead and rally her up for the holiday tax I can see you know riding down the road on a full tank of gas and before you know it you will fall straight in a pot hole and those tax rebate checks is another loan if you open the white House safe it will have 13 trillion I. O. U notes Hillary Supporters Wake Up And Smell The Sniper Fire.

Michael   May 1st, 2008 6:25 pm ET

I am getting very sick of this woman.

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   May 1st, 2008 6:25 pm ET

Do you think Hillary has ever pumped her own gas? Or paid for it out of pocket?

Roxy   May 1st, 2008 6:25 pm ET

Did you see Hillary on The Factor with O'reilly? What a bright woman she is!!!! Just what we need in the White House.

Go Hillary.

President Hillary Rodham Clinton 08

Greg   May 1st, 2008 6:24 pm ET

She is insane, end of story.

Sharon Minnesota   May 1st, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Just watching Wolf's Situation Room. Why is it that on this show the Obama guy gets to call Hillary's plan for relief of gas price a "fairy tale" when Bill Clinton was called a racist when he said those two "controversial words"?

Hillary Clinton is the only candidate who has addressed both short and long term solutions to the gas price crises.

What's up with Barack Obama and his negative and snarky remarks on this subject?

Ben   May 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Hillary could be up against a felony charge this fall.
If you get your news from CNN, you don't know this. You probably know Rev Wright's mother's maiden name and favorite food though.

Mike   May 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Obama is appearing on late night shows now before he ignored their requests. He needs all the friends he can find now.

Mike   May 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Yes remember, I am the Blue Eyed, Blond Haired Goldilocks. Not the black guy. Obama is the black guy that has the muslim name and might have sold cocaine (not that i am saying that). And Obama has the controversial Pastor that my media cronies keep talking and talking and talking about. And I am the one that looks like Rocky. Obama looks like the guy that beat up poor white Rocky. And I am the one that will give everyone money for gas. And if there is anything else that you think I should be. Then I am that too.

Ms Brown   May 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

KARMA..I KNOW YOU KNOW THE MEANING.

Brendose, Oceanside, CA   May 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

TO CNN:

This is officially the LAST time I will ever read or comment on the political ticker. The media has done a grave injustice to a good candidate by dragging him through the mud. I know you feel that you get higher "ratings" this way, but I've had enough. I have a bad taste in my mouth, and it is from all of the BS you have fed us. Maybe you're on Clinton's payroll…….I don't know. America is leading down a dark path, with the media outlets leading the way……..

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   May 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

To TerrenceW from NC
That is not all they are holding back on the Clintons. Google Clinton's
and the Clinton's activities during the years are horrendous acts of
criminalities. Unbelievable what they aren't throwing at her and Bill.
We got two of the world biggest scam artists running for Office and the news don't even tap into their past. What else is "new" in politics.
TIME FOR A BIG A– CHANGE.

Hillary doesn't read fairy tales or bake cookies   May 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Goldilocks got eaten by the wolf.

Bridgette   May 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

The reality of it she and John McCain have come up with a really stupid idea that sounds good. The bottom line is that a driver will save an average of $9 for the summer. That is not a solution that is an insult. I know everyone is all excited about this campaign and what is going on but people I think it is time we really start listening to the candidates with our ears. Not that oh it's the first female or the first african-american. It is time we stop listening to the so call 35 years of experience and the change slogan. Let's really listen to them. Because alot of the stuff that Hilary says is just not reality. I am an independent so I am still deciding and I am listening and this lady is a liar. She will say anything and do anything to get this election. So all I am saying people is just listen.

Sylvia   May 1st, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Bad judgement and misjudgement again by Hillary Rodham Clinton on the gas tax. Just like when she voted for the war. This tells me she is not intelligent and incapable of making smart decision.

OBAMA is smart and intelligent. He is our next President.

K. Patterson, Los Angeles, CA   May 1st, 2008 6:21 pm ET

More like Cruella Deville….

King in MO   May 1st, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Some "emphasis on some" of you Hillary supporters seem too vindictive. I mean this is what turns a lot of males off of her. If you and Hillary were nuturing and understanding or maybe more humane at least we might think of voting for her. Everyone of us has run into that witchy evil woman at work that steps on everyone to get to the top and when she needs the little people nobody is there for her. Then she cries sexism or foul play. Men also know that sweet yet smart and strong woman that works her way up the latter, eats crow like everyone else, and is respected by all. I was raised around women and know a good woman when I see one. Hillary used to be that, but Washington politics changed her for the worse. Her supporters on here remind me of that everytime I see just evil comments written about Obama. Support your candidate without attacking people and maybe we might pay attention to the points she truly has an advantage over Obama. Just my observation, don't bite my head off about it.

Obama/Webb 08

Oha yeah CNN – report Pual VS Clintons CA

Cindy Souza   May 1st, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Everyone talks about how dishonest the Clintons are but they don't back it up with an example.
Obama keeps changing his position on Wright until he was backed into a corner.
Obama lack of experience is becoming more apparent as time goes on.
Goldilocks is much better than being a Baby Bear like Obama. He is weak and with this countries troubles we need someone who will not give up but push on to succeed.
Go Hillary!!!!!

Reid   May 1st, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Lorna, NY   May 1st, 2008 6:19 pm ET

The best way to understand the case against Hillary Clinton- the frauds she directed to win her Senate seat and the obstructions of justice she orchestrated in plain view to keep it- is to read the explanation of the case of Paul v Clinton presented to California’s Court of Appeals late last year.

Peter Paul appealed Hillary Clinton’s purported right to first amendment protection from liability for frauds she directed when she was engaged in illegal campaign fundraising. The allegations of huge tort and election law frauds directed by a President and Senate candidate were corroborated with evidence that speaks for itself in the court pleadings- read the outline and click on the links:

The only judicial panel to ever review Hillary Clinton’s conduct as part of a judicial proceeding (the California Appellate Court) did not deny that Hillary’s conduct in obtaining more than $1.2 million from Paul may have been illegal!

“Even if some aspect of Senator Clinton’s campaign fundraising
unrelated to Paul’s claims… were illegal and that illegality could be imputed to Senator Clinton and Clinton for Senate, these defendants are not barred from obtaining the benefit of section 425.16’s right to an early evaluation of Paul’s claims arising from their constitutionally protected activity. ”

Mike G   May 1st, 2008 6:18 pm ET

I thought she was the wicked witch of the west who casts spells and does evil.
Goldilocks????????? NO.

RB   May 1st, 2008 6:18 pm ET

Sure, you may feel like Goldilocks now, but once the Paul case goes to trial you'll only feel the "Locks…of a prison"!

B in NC   May 1st, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Wasn't Goldilocks a thief?

Steve   May 1st, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Why did Obama vote for a gas-tax holiday in the Illinois legislature if its such a gimmick….

b-liberal   May 1st, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Obama rant: "We want ANSWERS from our news sources and you give us FLUFF."

Was this meant for this story or the one about Obama on the Letterman comedy show?

Zagazaw   May 1st, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Can someone please explain to Clinton this is the real world, she always compare herself to mavie and fairy tale, America is this your idea of solution, first Rocky now Goldilocks? now i see why that governor backs her, he think he is Hank Hill. who will she be next? all she is doing is pulling the wool over our eyes and America is buying into it.

She did not think of a long term untill Obama check her, now she is back pedleing. and America is eat up her nonesense.

Sandy   May 1st, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Hillary is so fake! Experience does not mean BETTER, it means you have been through some things. Who needs a liar in Office? For the record Hillary has a SO-CALLED FRIEND who is a known racist, can we put that on CNN? How many times has SHE MISPOKE? Do you notice that when she speaks on shows she struggels to find the right words to say? I'd rather have someone who is being honest with the people and himself and has HEART!

OBAMA ALL THE WAY

Chris in Va.   May 1st, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Okay Mrs. Clinton and Mr. McCain, you have 25 days until Memorial Day. How do you plan on enacting this "Gas Holiday" scheme before then? Or could it be you are just pandering (lying) to the American people for votes? We're waiting.

Cheri   May 1st, 2008 6:14 pm ET

This woman is as crooked as a dog's hind leg! Not to mention just plain evil. No way do I want her to be the leader of my country!

DemocracyNow2008   May 1st, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Clinton feels like Goldielocks I feel like Hillary should do the Democratic Party a favor and stepdown now .

Your not going to get the nomination Hillary wake up and realize its over.

Karl   May 1st, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Goldilocks? You really are living in a fairy tale!

Listen Butch its over. Do the math. Get out of the way. Its Obama's turn.

Steve   May 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

If his response is politiians do these gimmicks and not solve the real problem then Mr. Obama what exactly makes you different other then the fact that you say it. I don't hear you doing anything.

This man's lack of real plans (regardless of what the obamabots say) is staggering…..Yes I went to his website to see his plans……and no thanks I create my own hope. I don't need someone to do it for me. I need someone to get to work….

Clinton 08

TerrenceW from NC   May 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Since the media is refusing to reveal/report the Paul vs Clinton fraud case in court right now, we need to create our own movement and flood every blog on CNN and every blogging website on the World Wide Web with information from the case regardless of what the topic is. For those that don't know – Google Paul vs Clinton and hold on to your shirt with what you read!!

Clinton vs Paul – let's hear about it.

Hillary be gone!   May 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Psycho! Go away! CNN…grow some cajones and do some real reporting!

Sam   May 1st, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Why aren't we hearing anything about the Clinton VS Paul trial that's going on in CA.? Is there a media gag?

If this was Obama committing the crimes Hillary is accused of, CNN would have his face blasted all over TV..

Jay   May 1st, 2008 6:11 pm ET

CNN IS not saying anything about Peter Paul like ALL OTHER NETWORKS Because Peter Paul is a professional liar who has four separate criminal convictions, two for fraud. His video repackages a series of seven-year-old false claims about Senator Clinton that have already been rejected by the California state courts, the Justice Department, the Federal Election Commission, and the Senate Ethics Committee.

Maybe CNN should talk about Larry Sinclair!!

Veterans For Obama   May 1st, 2008 6:10 pm ET

Susan Mo….If you think Hillary is smart then you must be one of the geniuses that voted for Bush twice!

Maxine   May 1st, 2008 6:10 pm ET

Hillary Rodham Clinton admended her disclosure reports over the weekend to account for $5 million she loaned her presidential campaign in January. Though it was widely known the New York senator used the funds to help rally support for her White House bid during the early primaries, an accounting oversight left the information missing from reports filed at the Federal Election Commission.

The new disclosure brings her total debt to $15.3 million through March, compared to $662,784 for her Democratic opponent Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. While both have debt, they both also have a considerable amount of cash on hand, Obama with $51 million to Clinton's nearly $32 million.

HMMMM, is this the way she is going to run the country.

Ready For What?   May 1st, 2008 6:09 pm ET

Now we know why Hillary never read the intelligence reports before voting to authorize the war in Iraq: she was too busy reading fairy tales.

Anon   May 1st, 2008 6:09 pm ET

She wouldnt understand what NORMAL people go through at the pump because she has MILLIONS of dollars that allow her to fill up. IF SHE DOES NOT HAVE SOMEONE ELSE TO PAY FOR IT FOR HER….DO I HEAR PAUL VS CLINTON IN THE BACKGROUND?

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   May 1st, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Goldilocks is going to Obliterate Iran? Can't we talk to them first.
Because they would Obliterate us back, Hillary. Where's your
self control? Sounds like Bush!

James   May 1st, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Wake up People Obama does'nt support anything he tells us he is just like his Pastor Wright !! He isnt going to fool me anymore!!! At Least we know what we get with Hillary!! She has always faught for American's and yes sometimes she makes wrong choices she is human we all make wrong choices.. Not everyone is going to be happy with any choice she makes or anyone else makes for that matter but we can not deny that the 90's were pretty good times!! Obama now complaining that he hasnt slept since October boooo hooo wake up and smell the coffee then!!! The President must always be able to be alert especially at 3:00 AM..

Eileen -- Ex-Hillary Supporter   May 1st, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Mike from Calgary, Canada   May 1st, 2008 6:05 pm ET

You know what happened to Goldilocks when the three Bears discovered that she had invaded their privacy and took their food, don't you. I love it when Hillary sticks to comedy and fiction. I think she's found her calling in life.
As for the next President, he showed good judgment in opposing the war in Iraq and the squandering of trillions of dollars and over 4,050 American lives, rather than focusing on Al Queda in Afghanistan, medicare, pharmacare and American Infrastructure (especially bridges). He talks the truth re NAFTA – which has been mutually beneficial for Canada and the US, but needs refinement re Mexico, with it's lesser labour and environmental standards. Obama – continue to keep your eye on the ball!

Mike

Baby Bear   May 1st, 2008 6:05 pm ET

She is just right… of McCain on Iran.

The Three Bears   May 1st, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is a Goldilocks Story.
Once upon a time there were three Politocal porige McCain is too hot for war and way too far to the right. Obama is too unknown, not experienced enough and too far to the left.
And Hillary, well she is just Right.
Hillary is in the middle of McCain and Obama.
She Not too much to the far right, She not too much to the far left . Hillary is not too soft and she’s not too hard, she’s not a rookie and she’s not too old. She Not too hot , and she’s not too cold!
Hillary is just right to be President
And we will all live happily ever after.

Mama Bear   May 1st, 2008 6:02 pm ET

Yes! Just the right amount of "gimmick" and "not coming up with your own idea"! You are just like goldilocks!
And let's not forget resourceful! Using Mccain's "solution" on this issue is brilliant! If you win the nomination, it's going to be really tough choice between you and Mccain… you guys are so similar! You could be siblings!

Matt   May 1st, 2008 6:02 pm ET

Wow. She is constantly comparing herself to things. She is like Rocky, she is like the Cinderella team in the NCAA tourney, she is like Goldilocks, wouldn't it be great to know who Hillary is and not who she thinks she is like? I agree Pinnochio is a much more fitting discription.

brenda ,minnesota   May 1st, 2008 6:02 pm ET

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
30$ probably won't buy enough gas to get across our republican maintained bridges before they collapse. word out of D.C. is this will be over next week, the supers are going to pile on, for Barack, after tuesday. Because goldilocks has decided to stir up the white blue collar group enough that they would rather vote their hatred and not their pocket books.
wake up there are Obama supporters who call it like they see it.

PA_Hill-fan   May 1st, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Sharon Minnesota   May 1st, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Hillary, you can count on me to give you a nice soft place to land. The rest of the naysayers can go lie on a bed of nails.

CNN moderators, you could do a little better job of screening out the hate messages and insults aimed at our next president. It's getting very old reading some of this petty junk.

Hey HILLARY SUPPORTERS AND Barrack SUPPORTERS, IT"S OVER. Iran is pissed at her because of her idiotic comment about obliterating them. THe supers aren't going to stand for it. She already supported one war, now she's starting another. They (Iran) that is filed a formal complaint with the UN. Brilliant Hillary! YOu just ended the race.

Obama’s Islamic Terrorist Fundraiser
Fri, 04/25/2008 – 15:25 — Judicial Watch Blog
The chairman of an Islamic “charity” shut down by the U.S. government for funding Middle Eastern terrorists has dedicated himself to raising money for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

With his Ohio-based terrorist funding operation closed, Hatem El-Hady has committed to raising substantial funds for the Illinois senator, according to an in-depth article in an investigative news publication that regularly breaks important stories ignored by the mainstream media.

Don't blame Hillary!

Is the reaction to this policy, serious issue, from people such as the Mayor of New York, or the Speaker of the House not news worthy?

Ivan F.   May 1st, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Hillary is right. We need a short term goal until we come up with the real solution to our long term goal.

Obama's pastor is right about Barrack Obama he would say anything just to get elected. Wright knows him very well for 2 decades.

People don't get fooled by his flowery words. If something is too good to be true, it must be untrue!!! He's selling himself just to get elected.
Lawyers lie to win a case and I believe Obama and his wife are both lawyers, right? Got the point or do I have to say more?

Hillary for President! 2008

Like Pooka said, Goldilocks broke into their home, violated their things and then complained the whole time how something she felt entitled to (other things food) wasn't made exactly to her specifications.

Bravo Hillary. Thanks for making me ashamed of women in this country yet again.

bdc   May 1st, 2008 5:49 pm ET

gas tax is about 5% (18 cents)- figure out what that would save you and decide if its worth losing money to maintain roads/bridges etc.

for me, it was about $40 all summer… doesn't seem worth it for that $40 spread over 3 months

Mr. Moore,just shut up and go away.In 2004 you supported the Democrat, contender,who did not win.To use words like freightening voters,and "disgusting" is in itself way out of your personality.Now I guess you can apply for superdelegate status and support Obama !!!

FROM THE WORDS OF MICHAEL MOORE:

Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"

Los Angeles Judge Saves Hillary's Presidential Bid

In the landmark civil fraud case against Bill Clinton in Los Angeles, where the former President is charged with defrauding a Hollywood dot com millionaire to help Hillary Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from him for her 2000 Senate campaign, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz ruled on Friday, April 25 that Hillary Clinton would not be required to testify in a sworn deposition as a material witness in the case until AFTER the November election!

Cutting taxes is the smart thing to do. There is $.38-48 tax per gallon in most states. That's the real price gouging. I know most Dems like to blame American oil companies, but that's not what's behind the cost increase. It's our own falt for not drilling for oil here in the states.

You want cheaper gas… drill, cut taxes, vote Republican.

It is nice to see that Clinton started her campaign with the issues of Americans first and foremost as her focus. She actually had plans and proposals in place, unlike Mr. Hope—no one hears about Rezco, Blackwell and Jones. Mr Change—-from Wight is like my Uncle to let me kick him to the curb. He even has poor Michelle and sleazy Andrews selling their souls trying to salvage his campaign.

A former president, current senator and governor accused of illegal activity isn't news.

Hillary,you are dooing just fine.Forget the doubting Thomases!Your resilience and hard work since you started the campaign is showing the great success you have bagged in your work to win this elections,and finally lead America the right direction.The media is biased,but they don't vote to decide the winner at the end.Keep on the good fight Hillary-You are awinner not a quiter,and they thought you were joking!!

Papa Bear   May 1st, 2008 5:35 pm ET

I'm so glad someone is looking out for us working folk. Even though the tax will only save me about $3 every week I fill up my $60 tank, I know in my heart it's the right solution. I mean, I'll be able to use that $12 a month for so many things. I know that you know it's only a short term solution. But, even though that money would normally go towards repairing roads and bridges, like the one that collapsed last year in minneapolis, I know that those projects, and the constructions workers that do the work, can be put on hold for the summer. Besides, they deserve a vacation right? I mean, it gets so hot working on highways and bridges, they shouldn't have to do that kind of work in the summer heat.
My only question is: since there aren't any price protections in place, how will you prevent the oil companies from raising the price of gas again?

Hmm..........   May 1st, 2008 5:35 pm ET

I am not really interested in temporary fixes!!!! Especially ones that likely won't even work in the first place. Things are already bad………..a quick fix can make them worse both in the short and long runs. I should run for president………I am way smarter than this idea she and McCain proposed.

BJ   May 1st, 2008 5:34 pm ET

If Obama supporters even had half a mind, they would realize that Hillary has actual solutions, and the know-how to carry them through. Obama, for the first time, differs from Hillary but still has no specific plan to offer short term benefits/breaks that people need to have some breathing room! The rest of his "policies" have been xeroxed from Hillary's.

For all their education, they have no street savvy to really understand what regular folks are going through.

Let's see how they fare when truckers stop driving, dock workers stop working, and immigrants stop working. I want to see how self sufficient they are then!

Oh, where's my latte? How come my clothes are dirty? Boo hoo waaahhh.

Let it me a relief until a better long term solution can be considered. Something has to be done. And sometimes an unpopular decision has to be made.

I voted for Bill Clinton twice and the disingenuity of Hillary Clinton has been incredible to watch. Obama gets my vote and the vote of my Republican husband.

What is her long term solution.

People keep saying that Barack does not have a solution yet economists say that his SOLUTION is better than the short term suggested by Hillary and John. So if he does not have a solution, how can they make this determination?

I think that Hillary supporters are the ones who are drinking Kool-Aid. They follow her even though she admitted to openly lying about Bosnia and other things she "misspoke" about, she has been named in a campaign finance fraud case, her former pastor is a convicted child molester, etc.

Shannon   May 1st, 2008 5:29 pm ET

There goes Hillary…. Once again changing her tactics and plans when Obama shows a better idea. Plus Hillary's plan is a duplicate of McCain's Plan.

McCain says drop the 18 cent tax for a few weeks on gas, and it gets great media attention for him. So, Hillary copys McCain's plan to get her own attention. Naturally she had to make McCains idea look bad, and her's look better. So she added on the idea of taxing oil companies more to make up for the 18 cents the government would not receive from us at the gas pump. Boom, her own (copied) idea and her own media attention.

Obama being the smart man that he is, called their bluff! He pointed out that McCain and Hillary were just playing politics to get media attention. Plus McCain and Hillary's temporary tax cut would only save the average American $25-$30 over the summer, and that's nothing!!!! We would think we were saving alot of money on gas, but really we'd end up just driving more and that would cause gas prices to raise even higher than they are now.

Obama's plan is a real solution!!!! Tax the Oil Companies more on their profit, and then give that money to low income familys to help pay their energy bills. Plus it shows the oil companies that they can't keep raising gas prices for their benefit, while hurting Americans. It shows the Oil Companies that they are responsible for our inflation and recession!

I don't know about you. But, I'd rather have a president like Obama with real solutions!!! Not McCain or Hillary who just play games for attention!!!

Hillary is one with the Spanish in TX, Hillary shot guns when she was young, Hillary's has blue-collar upbringing

Hillary is everything, give me a break, she says exactly what you want to hear when you want to hear it as all Clintons do just to win… but she's more talk than anyone. Looking into her actual record of "experience," it's obvious she hasn't done anything.

I choose character/judgement over poor "experience"

brenda ,minnesota   May 1st, 2008 5:27 pm ET

30$ probably won't buy enough gas to get across our republican maintained bridges before they collapse. word out of D.C. is this will be over next week, the supers are going to pile on, for Barack, after tuesday. Because goldilocks has decided to stir up the white blue collar group enough that they would rather vote their hatred and not their pocket books.

shane   May 1st, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Jay   May 1st, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Hillary Clinton, as usual, is trying to pander to voters about gas prices. If she has so much "experience", why didn't she put it to use when her husband was crafting an energy policy. Oh, I forgot, he didn't create any type of lasting energy policy, and as a result we are still dependent on foreign oil. We have to invest in our infrastructure, and Hillary's gimmicks really are insulting to voters…gas prices will likely INCREASE if this patchwork gas "relief" plan goes into effect. She even had the nerve to go to a gas pump and act like she's some average person. This from someone who has been driven around for years and made $109 million over the past 7 years. It this wasn't any more laughable, I don't know what is.

Even if you win this nomination Senator Clinton, at least the majority of the AMERICAN PEOPLE will know that Senator Obama ran a very respectful campaign, and that is what matters at the end of the day. The country need someone that will bring us together and unitie not divide us. I am really shocked to see all of the bad racist remarks made on these blogs. Thanks to your campaign brilliant ideas to inflict race and fear. It is really sad to see how much hate is in America, the land that I love.

"….News flash – Anderson Cooper will interview Hillary Clinton's former paper boy from Illinois who will testify when she was 13, she wouldn't give him a nickle tip – she kept it for herself."

CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, etc. – You don't want a President to represent the welfare and interest of the American people. You want an actor. Al Pacino vs. Robert DeNiro for President – Oh….let's not forget someone to play John McCain – and representing John McCain – Mickey Rooney

Mary   May 1st, 2008 5:24 pm ET

CNN needs to change what they said as Geoff Garin is not Obama's strategist.

Hillary = Goldilocks? = FANTASY LAND

Hillary needs to get back to REALITY!

Short term solutions ONLY if they make sense! Hillary's doesn't.

The best way to spend less on gas is to move away from our dependency to gas!

ECONOMISTS (REAL EXPERTS) said that since refineries cannot increase their supply of gasoline in the space of a few summer months, lower prices will just boost demand and the benefits will flow to oil companies, not consumers.

"You are just going to push up the price of gas by almost the size of the tax cut," said Eric Toder, a senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center in Washington.”

Hillary provides Bandaid solutions that will make it WORSE in the long run.

JA Cook   May 1st, 2008 5:24 pm ET

B. Obama   May 1st, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Mrs. Clinton,
I think coming up with both a short-term and long term plan to help Americans now is the wrong political move. You should just focus on long-term solutions. I think focusing on hope and changes without dealing with the specifics is a move any smart politician should make. Leave your hope and dreams to one man and hope for a better future.

Vast American conspiracy   May 1st, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Don't you edit these postings?

and Hillary is not Goldilocks, she's a cold calculating camelion (sp?)- she goes with the political winds (like her tragic vote for the Iraq war) and she tells different groups what they want to hear.

She has no courage and no leadership ability. She's a follower and a cheap opportunist.

If you remember the story, you'll remember that Goldilocks broke in the bears house, ate their food without asking, broke a chair and proceeded to get in their bed and take a nap. Kinda like what Hillarylocks is doing to the Democratic Party.

When you look at actual plans, Hillary ends up being the real leader to bring people together. McCain is extreme in his approach and Obama is extreme coming from an arrogant combination of being a know-it-all and being a victim.

If you stupid people wants to believe that Hillary and McCain can lower you gas taxes then yes she is a Goldilock and swimming down stream. Why do you want gas tax lower in the summer so you can run your air conditioners in your cars. People get real. You will burn more money on gas just to go to the store than work. Remember it takes gas to run an air conditioner during the summer.

How about getting her to talk about lets see…….just ONE of the many scandals she has been in since super tuesday. I guess it IS time for change. I USED to respect the Clintons AND CNN. I guess it is time to move on.

sure Hillary, you're Goldilocks. You clearly live in a fantasy world. a world where imaginary Bosnian snipers fire at you and your daughter, a world where you singlehandedly brought peace to Northern Ireland. A fantasy dreamworld where Democrats around the country will wake up and realize that they've been mistaken and should be following you to their doom.

a Dreamworld where your unimaginably high negatives won't be brought up by the republicans in a general election.

and a fantasy world where it is OK to change the rules in the middle of the game to your benefit. Who are you going to be tomorrow? Little red riding hood?

Obama for President   May 1st, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Obama is right….The gas tax holiday will raise the price of gas by increasing demand…is she really that stupid.

Gas Tax holiday=Falling bridges

What about the infrastructure, Senator Clinton? Where is the money going to come from for all the pot holes and road construction?

Did you happen to see what happened to the 35-W bridge here in Minneapolis? $30 will give me half a tank of gas. I'd rather not have huge pot holes mess up my tires and cause costly alignment repairs to be done to my car. Thank you very much.

YOU may want to learn how to use a gas station coffee machine and a gas pump before you profess to be one of us! YOU, my dear, are the elitist!

You made an error in the last paragraph. Geoff Garin is a strategist for Hillary Clinton not Barack Obama.

Try taking the Miss Clariol out of your hair and see if you will still feel the same bet your locks won't golden. This is nothing more than same old politics trying to fool the american people..

More delusional Gibbirish from this blowhard….someone turn of her mic.

HRC's Fuzzy math works with the middle America. People start to think and use the real math. You will see that the total saving on the 12 weeks is going to be around 30 to 40 dollars. Just a burger a week.

She is much more like PINOCCHIO than Goldilocks!!
