Clinton: ‘I’m Doing Everything I Can’

Yeah, she’s a regular Joan of Arc.

Obama has been explaining why he is experienced to be President:
“Look, I’ve lived overseas,” said Obama. “I have family overseas. I have served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.”
(He lived overseas when he was 6 – 10 years old)
Tell me this man deserves to be president.

Yes,you’re a fighter and I fully support your continued determination to fight for us. Good luck.

It is sad. People want character, hope for the future and the ability to put the country before themselves in their president. I don’t know who thinks after all this negativity and vitriol she has created… that it hasn’t hurt the democratic party.
It’s just sad.

Puff piece.

Clinton is coming across as desperate, too ambitious, ambition before integrity. The question is how trustworthy is that?

Why I Vote for Senator Hillary Clinton:
I have been closely following the U.S presidential primaries and the following are my main reasons why I support Senator Hillary Clinton for president:
While expressing my support for Senator Clinton, I do not have any negative feeling toward other candidates for the presidency. This is a national issue that should concern every citizen to stand up for the person who is the most qualified to lead us in the next four years that may be characterized with difficulties
1. Senator Clinton has an immense experience in all governmental affairs ranging from economic, diplomatic, politics, military to international relations that affect the interest of the United States and friendly countries.
2. Contrary to the empty rhetoric of Senator Barak Obama’s “ change we believe in “ and “we can, “ Senator Hillary Clinton has presented a concrete and real program of action to deal with all the problems that the United States is increasingly facing both at home and abroad. Senator Barak Obama is appealing to the American people for support by promising hope for change. He has been increasingly promising a range of benefits without giving any clues as to how he is going to fund the huge and unrealistic programs. As a result of President Bush’s misguided policy, both domestic and abroad, the United States is facing growing problems that should be tackled in the next administration. For this complex job we need Senator Hillary Clinton’s experience, determination and resolve on issues that matters most to America and the rest of other friendly countries. Hope alone doesn’t bring about results. Change can’t take place in a vacuum. The change we desire must be realistic and proportionate to the resources we have and ready to commit on priority basis. I don’t see in Senator Obama’s prophecy of hope and change.
3. Senator Hillary Clinton has been tested for public service and she is ready to serve the American people as the first woman president. This is a big change by itself.
4. As a result of the 9/11 terrorist action against our country and taking into account Sadam’s behavior in the 90s, his continued refusal to cooperate with the UN inspectors, and the intelligence information on mass destruction that was then available to the Senators, it is unpatriotic to blame Senator Clinton for her vote in support of using force against Iraq if diplomatic efforts fail. This vote in support of vital national interest does not give rise to the level of labeling someone as not having proper judgment. At that time, both Senator Clinton and Illinois Senator were not on the same playground. Senator Clinton had an obligation to act and the then Illinois senator Barak did not have that obligation. He was one of the few Americans that spoke against the war in Iraq. However, just because he spoke against the war, does not solely qualify him as a person who has a better judgment for the complex government job on day one if he is elected.
5. I support Senator Hillary Clinton’s universal health care plan which will be mandated. Senator Barak Obama, circulated mails containing false accusations about the universal healthcare plan saying that this plan envisages that if people fail or unable to buy the universal healthcare, the government will go after their salaries. This is really a fear mongering. From his public addresses, it appears that Senator Obama will not refrain from making big promises that will not be translated into action. Senator Barak Obama says that his healthcare plan will not take 20 years, 10 years but will be completed or realized by the end of his firs term. Our health problem is real and need real solution now. This vital health care service is needed now. We can’t afford procrastination.
6. By now everybody knows that the media has never been fair to Senator Hillary Clinton. The media magnified the campaign of Senator Barak Obama and paid less attention to Senator Clinton’s campaign. In some cases very negative. Some people in the media have called upon Hillary Clinton to concede and quit the campaign. This media behavior is really irresponsible. Favoring one competitor over the other does not give a fair playing ground for the disadvantaged party. She was quite often asked first questions and the most difficult ones. In this respect, the press gave Senator Obama more opportunity to attack Senator Clinton.
7. Experience matters. History teaches us that America has faced formidable national and international problems in the past. One example is that on December 7, 1941, Japan deliberately attacked the United States military base at Pearl Harbor without prior notice or short of declaring war. Thanks to the experience, farsightedness, dedication, and resolve of President Roosevelt, an immediate declaration of war was made against Japanese aggression and finally the U.S won the war. Since international relations are becoming more complex, the world is considered more dangerous, and since we are forced to fight terrorism without borders, we need an experienced person to lead us both in time of peace and war. As has been said in the past, “in order to live in peace we have to prepare for war.” I strongly feel that Senator Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person to be hired for president of the United States.
8. After March 4, I hope that Senator Clinton will come back and become the nominee of her party.
In the event this fails to happen, I strongly feel that she has clearly made history as the first woman who vigorously campaigned for presidency of the United States. For this, history will remember her and hopefully the presidency may not remain “the boys club” for long in the future. Hillary has opened the way to the presidency for women and it is up to the rest of the female citizens to assert their rights for inclusion in the political process at any level.

Hillary’s do or die strategy = THROUGH the KITCHEN SINK.
I am not surprised to see that coming from someone who is:
Emotinaly Immature (e.g disturbingly animated act about leaflets in OH, scolding Obama)
Many faced (e.g. 24 hours b4 the above incident praising Obama so honorably)
Lying (e.g lied about her support about NAFTA in the dabate)
Manipulative ( e.g. Wines about Media bias, while Media gave her a free ride after 11 humiliating defeat which Obama would never had gotten if lost similarly)

Yes, she should quit at once if she loses in OH & TX. Having been a life long Democrat I am sad to say that I will never vote for another Clinton as long as I live. The Clinton’s have taken years of political capital with black America and just burned it. Does Hillary believe that America wants a President who can pull more dirty tricks than the other candidate? It’s sad that her campaign is desperate and even more sad to see the media follow all of her tricks. Hillary says she’s just getting warmed up. Well guess what, America does not care. We have heard enough, we want our voices heard.

How come Obama’s “bone headed move” on his home purchase with Rezko is not looked as a case of bad judgement.

BTW, when O.J. got off from indiction, was anyone questioing his lawyer…. Please don’t blame our justice systems..

I think barak has what it takes to lead this nation in an emergency. You can’t trust Clinton who voted for a war that has bankrupted this country. Give me a break!

Doing every thing she can…yes indeedy…more like everything she can get away with!!!
Shame on You Hillary!
Your Deceptions Were Described By DOJ Prosecutors as Felonies!
You were projecting on Barak Obama your own misconduct when you said “You have been spreading false, misleading, discredited information”.
You began deceiving the public and the government in 2000 about your top Senate campaign donor and “friend” Peter Paul when you TWICE lied in the Washington Post about taking any money from Paul AFTER you and Bill took more than $1.2 million from him (according to the FBI and DOJ Prosecutor).
Days later after vowing not to take money from Paul you faxed him on your Senate Campaign letterhead demanding he contribute an additional $100,000 in untraceable securities by illegally wiring it to a state committee supporting your candidacy.
You were right when you stated “The American people got shafted and (you’re) going to have to make up for it.”
You subverted three federal investigations to avoid your accountability and used your finance director as a foil to avoid your prosecution for the offenses he was improperly charged with.
DOJ Prosecutor Dan Schwager told the criminal jury in the election law fraud trial of your finance director David Rosen, in May 2005, that the basis of the government’s prosecution was the crime of “denying the public’s right to know that Peter Paul personally gave…more than $1.2 million..to your national campaign.”
You and your agents have denied the public the right to know that fact ever since August 2000!
You used deception about that fact to win your election and re-election in 2006. You have denied the public’s right to know who your largest donor was, how much he gave you and why.
The facts on the public record show that you have subverted: the Office of The President, through Bill Clinton, by using the Oval Office to commit felony violations of the campaign laws, the Department of Justice Office of Public Integrity through its Chief, Noel Hillman who set up a sham indictment and a show trial intended to cover up your illegalities, the federal judiciary through Howard Matz, the judge you appointed with Bill Clinton as co-president, who threw the Rosen trial with outrageous statements to the jury denying your involvement and the FEC itself through a fraudulent settlement that was based on a fourth false FEC report that gave you immunity from investigation!.
Its time to tell the truth at long last- File a True FEC Report That Finally Admits What the DOJ and FBI Have Sworn- You Took More than $1.2 Million in Contributions From Peter Paul and Have Hidden it From The Public ever Since!

How come Obama won’t release the papers on his real estate purchase with Rezko, what is he hiding, maybe more then just a bone headed man.

People accused Senator Obama’s rivals of War on Iraq, the truth is 77 US senators voted YES to protect your life by all means….. Senator Obama turned the failure of Bush’s execution agaist the good wishes of his 77 fellows….maybe Senator Obama wanted to make sure another 9-11 bombing first (solid evidence) before he said I will protect my fellow people by all means…

Why should Hillary give up she has every right to fight on no matter what Howard Dean says, If Dean wanted the election over sooner he should not has waited to have the convention until late august. ANY WAY WHAT DOES DEAN KNOW ABOUT WINNING A NOMINATION?

I reread the article above two times. What is the news here? Or is this meant to be a perfect example, to be used in journalism courses, of giving the politician of your choice a free ride when you think he or she could use that very well?
And since this placeis mainly about focusing on Hillary anyway, let’s quote her one more time: “I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.”
The ‘Hillary you’re my girl!’type fans will be bewildered by that. Others, many of them having dedicated a large part of their to the Democratic agenda and Party in this country, will have lost their respect for her.

Oil reached $100.00 per barrel beacuse we love our SUV’s . and I still don’t understand why obama voted to fund the war while in the senate, while he was against it before he joined teh senate.
Since when do you fund a horrible idea?

All the sudden, Senator Obama is no longer talking about the hope and the future…Senator Obama is talking all about the PAST from his rivals… Unfortunately, his PAST of blank screen becomes showing dark/dirtys colors….

LAST CALL FOR AMERICA!
LET’S STOP THE INFATUATION!
FOR THE LOVE OF OUR COUNTRY LET’S VOTE FOR SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON FOR SHE OFFERS SOLUTION!
DON’T LEAVE IT TO CHANCES!!
God Bless America!

If these aren’t the times when we need someone with real brains, real knowledge, real experience, and a fighting spirit, we are really in trouble if we don’t elect Hillary. She never gives up, she never gives in, and she is tough!

It was already back in October 2005 that the British journal New Statesman listed Obama as one of “10 people who could change the world”.
Obama was the only politician on that global list of most remarkable people.
It way before his great campaign for the presidency, before the now famous speeches that slam the cynics of this country in the face.
Now Obama’s time has come, and he will prove that he IS the only politician that can change the world, as the prestigious New Statesman predicted back in 2005.
And as everyone predicted, the establishment in Washington is fighting against the reformation of US society by formally imitating part of the Obama agenda, by speaking about ‘change’ as well, calling HIM te empty suit that they are wearing in their status quo politics of power.
The Republicans will fight him just as half of the Democratic Party establishment is fighting him.
But the movement has begon and can’t be stopped. May Barack Obama be the one politician who will change the face of American politics and power, and in doing so change the world in which the USA can be a beacon of freedom, reason, law, decency, democracy and civility again.
Let’s come together as Democrats and, proud of our values and ideas, prove that the New Statesman was right back in 2005.

To Rianne:
There are only 111 delegates that separate Obama and Clinton. If Clinton wins Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island as expected in some polls, she will gain at the very least around 250 delegates which should put her either tied with Obama or ahead. Pennsylvania will be voting in April and she is polling well ahead of Obama there and that victory would give her the nomination by virtue of math when you calculate in the superdelegates.

Rianne: sorry meant to say 161 delegates

People that think Hillary still has a chance without harming democracy are delusional. Hillary has a warehouse of skeletons that the republicans can bring out about her. She is unelectable due to being a super negative, angry, ill-tempered politician that couldn’t have even made it into the senate if it wasn’t for her husband. Her husband ran in 1992 and 1996 with the promise of universal health care, you may have forgotten… don’t let them fool you again.

and nobody has done more for children in this country than Hillary has so take your internet junk mail and read it to yourself please.

I guess Bill – lied – again.
Here’s why no one should believe – anything that the Clinton’s – say. MSNBC:
“Clinton suggests she’ll stay in race after Tuesday” – “Says the competitive primary contest would be good for the party”
OK, Dems. Are you still ‘proud’ of Bill and Hillary Clinton and the games that they are playing – with voters – or is changing her story this time – finally going to show voters what the Clinton’s are all about?
I’m pleased that this story was published – before tomorrow’s election. “For the good of the party” – is clearly the last thing – on Hillary’s mind. Translated: ‘Hey, voters, it’s all about – me and Bill.’
Mr. Rove must be loving this one – and rightfully so.
And the Democratic party ‘leaders’ – are where?

By way of answering Rianne, here’s what I wrote on the delegate count in another blog:
With the Clinton campaign now saying they will stay in the race even if they lose delegates in Texas, it’s worth putting into perspective just how difficult it would be for them to close Barack Obama’s lead in pledged delegates. For Clinton to pull ahead, she will need to win 57% of the remaining pledged delegates. To keep that number from rising even higher, they of course need to win 57% of the delegates on Tuesday, which would mean getting at least 213 delegates to Obama’s 161 — a 52 delegate advantage. If they net anything below 52 delegates, they fall even further behind. This is the key number to keep in mind when watching the election returns.
And, of course, even netting 52 delegates is hardly a big win. The Clinton campaign picked Texas and Ohio as its battleground because those states are particularly Clinton-friendly. The remaining primary states include several — like Mississippi, Oregon, and North Carolina — where Obama is likely to rack up major wins. That means that Clinton needs to gain well over 57% of the delegates in the states that are better for her. The only way she could possibly do this would be to utterly destroy Obama’s reputation, make him a radioactive figure, like Al Sharpton. This also seems like an extreme longshot, though the Clinton campaign appears to be attempting to pull it off with its flurry of attacks.
Now, in Clinton’s favor, she doesn’t necessarily need to win pledged delegates. I think if she comes close, and has the momentum, she could possibly win it with superdelegates without too much blood on the convention floor. But Clinton needs to dramatically reduce Obama’s lead in pledged delegates. If she only wins narrowly Tuesday, even the goal of getting close in pledged delegates will become more remote, and her continuing candidacy will be impossibe to justify for anybody who has the Democratic Party’s interests at heart.

for those of you that dont see the math how about the fact that if she wins ohio and texas it will mean that she has won enough states including florida to have won the presidency in novemeber.all of the red states that he won in the cacaus process will not go blue in all likelyhood in novemeber,so if you tick off all of us moderates who are hillary supporters,which you have already done,and we are in the big blue states you lose ,so wake up most of us will not vote for obama [rezko,micheles statement,ayers and dohrn and now caught in a lie about the aids meeting with the canadian counsel]this shows that he is not the great saint you think he is.

This is a good format as the latest post is on top. Could not log on to post most of the day. Web site not available or “subject exceptions is required” what does all these arcane words mean? Someone is playing god to prevent free speech.

Oh H Wolff – save the drama for yo mama. Hillary isn’t destroying the democratic party any more than Bush destroyed the republican party. Good grief. The fact that you say you’ve never seen anything like it means that you are either too young to know much about anything or you’ve been in a cave for the last 30 years. Your post is so over the top melodramatic it’s impossible to take you seriously.This is a democracy. People are allowed to want Hillary – millions do in fact. If you are so worried about the party, then tell Obama to drop out. Otherwise, let the chips fall where they may. Oabama has already said his people won’t vote for Hillary so, so much for being a uniter. If McCain ends up being president, thank Obama but don’t blame Hillary.

Take a hard look back – at America. And tell me that it isn’t – time to change.
If Mr. Obama becomes president – the world would see – that America can change. The country that used to pride itself on ‘making things better’ – is finally trying – to fix itself.
If Mr. Obama becomes president – the world would see – that the US knows – that it is in trouble. We are not liked, not respected, and not welcomed – throughout the world – because we have been – not protective of ourselves – but biased – and arrogant.
If Mr. Obama becomes president – leaders all over the world – will become very nervous. The American people will have thrown old and broken politics – and old dynasties – out of the way – in honor of – honorable leaders, who try to listen – to their people.
The self-appointed and self-annointed kings and dictators – will be put on notice – that people do still have – power. The sheer force of people – united in a just cause – would matter – again. Americans – can show that a country’s people still matter – in this election.
If Mr. Obama becomes president – true democracy – not the Clinton’s democracy or Mr. McCain’s democracy – will win – along with the American people. We will have stood up – against the past – and said ‘no’ to the idea – of making the same mistakes – again. Mr. Bush was hired twice – and where are we today because of that vote?
No more illegal wars, no more arrogant leaders, no more political dynasties, no more old ideas and ways that have gotten us into trouble, no more fighting within the Democratic party, no more – yesterday.
We either have the courage to change this country by electing a truly new leader – or we are a bunch of ‘talk and do nothing’ – Americans.
We can’t stand still in time and we can’t walk back into the past, either. We have no other place to go from here – - but up.
It is time for us to move forward – away from the lousy, embarrassing past politics of DC and the people that taught us how to distrust – our government.
Change – or more of the same? There is only one answer to that question – and it is – time for change in America.

The final polls before the election bring some good news for Hillary.
A new poll shows Barack Obama has taken a narrow lead over Hillary Clinton in Ohio for the first time in the campaign for the state that could decide which Democratic Senator will win their party’s nomination for president.
However, other polls still show Clinton in the lead, with the gap shrinking.
Preferences by demographic groups among the surveyed voters were consistent in the most recent poll, Clinton leading among those who described themselves as ignorant hillbillies by 73 percent to Obama’s 27 percent and Clinton leading 86 percent to Obama’s 14 percent with uneducated tobacco-chewing rednecks.
With preferences so defined in different groups, demographic factors in the turnout are likely to become key Tuesday, Peter Wolfbane, director of Sixipac’s polling institute, said in a release.
“It’s not just whether the voters are higher than normal, which everyone expects they will be,” he said. “The key question is whether Clinton supporters can find the polling offices; there aren’t any inside the local taverns”.
Other poll results by demographic:
Ignorant fools preferred Hillary 69% to 26% with 5% undecided and with drooling idiots, the margin was even higher with Hillary coming in at 93%, 4% for Obama, and 12% undecided. Yes, it adds up to 109%, but some of the undecided were *really* undecided.
Those voters who valued experience chose Hillary 2:1 over Obama and 66% of them felt that Hillary had experience equal to Laura Bush and Rosalind Carter, though only 12% felt that she was in the same league as Pat Nixon.

I think Hillary is provoking us undecided voters to run at warp speed in the other direction. In my judgment, her new defiant belligerant attitude is not a reflection of genuine strength, determination, or political conviction; but is more of a “scorched earth” strategy. She is quite cruel and appears to take great pleasure in doing anything to gain a lead; win at any cost. These tactics are what make many of us cringe, and actually compel us to “react” by throwing our vote away (to McCain) just out of anger with her tactics. It has gotten so bad lately, that I feel like I need to take a shower after I watch her speeches. It’s really degrading to voters. We should not have to tolerate this stuff from our political candidates.

If you want another Jimmy Carter, then vote for Obama, and it will be four years an out.. If you want 16 years of Democratic rule, then vote for Senator Clinton, and no matter who she picks for her running mate.. We’ll have a lock on the White House, and time to fix everything that the Republicans have broken under the great “Decider” bush..
The choice is yours Texas, Ohio, and the States that can make a difference.. Time to step up, and be counted.

I am SOOO looking forward to next week, when Hillary is forced out of the race, humiliated, so i can stop reading these ridiculous posts from her idiots.

Reuters is reporting that Canada is defending Mr. Obama over NAFTA ‘flap’.
http://www.forbes.com/reuters/feeds/reuters/2008/03/03/2008-03-04T000047Z_01_N03391783_RTRIDST_0_CANADA-OBAMA-UPDATE-1.html
Thank you, Reuters, for reporting the story.

Why wouldn’t Canada defend Obama, whether it’s true or not? They are more than comfortable with a candidate saying they’ll be talking tough on NAFTA, but hey, don’t worry about it because it’s just talk and rhetoric needed to win Ohio. They had a specific name of one of Obama’s advisors, a time and place and notes/memo of the meeting. That specific advisor didn’t dispute the communication didn’t occur, rather he said it was a miscommunication. What is then? It didn’t happen or as according to his advisor, it did but that wasn’t how the communication went down? Obama’s campaign is ran and staffed by ex-Clinton campaign staff and yet you think his campaign walks a moral higher ground somehow?

Obama is a empty bubble, that will blow away after tomorrow, and Hillary will take the lead, and win the Nomination, and then the Election.. Vote for Hillary!!! She’s a winner, and will make a great President..

What a coincidence that Oparah’s Big Give just appeared before the make-or-die primaries? Bribery can reap benefits from the small and ignorant people.

Why is CLINTON eager to become president??? They have history that will never be forgotten in WHITE HOUSE.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Not need them in White House again.

Hillary may be your favorite, but remember she is really hated by Republicans making it much harder to get elected in the general election.
Obama is actually getting republicans that cant stand McCain and independents. Like it or not I dont think Hillary can convert these people like he can.

Ignore the Spin: Clinton Done After Texas
by Randy Shaw‚ Mar. 04‚ 2008
Absent a hurricane or some other unforeseeable event, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign ends tonight in Texas. The media has covered so many angles to the Texas campaign — the Latino vote, the generation gap, Californians arriving en masse to help, the bizarre “two step” voting system (people vote first in the primary and then in the caucus) — that the essential piece of information has been obscured: the most delegate-rich districts are heavily African-American, and will go overwhelmingly for Barack Obama. While the Latino vote gets far more attention, low turnout in past elections has left Latino districts with fewer delegates. Meanwhile, African-American refugees from Hurricane Katrina are now concentrated in Houston, adding to Obama’s likely victory margin in that delegate-rich area. Republicans’ strategy to change the political make-up of Louisiana by displacing blacks from New Orleans will help nominate the presidential candidate they fear most.

Hillary should fight on till the convention for all her supporters, I for one will never vote OBAMA.
And as for the republicans hating her, well she has done more bipartisian work than Obama has. He is all talk and as many republicans blog he is the one least likely to accomplish anything while in office.
People are who vote for OBama and the liberal dems are voting to erase america’s individuality. The liberals want to make us all generic as people and this would solve all the worlds problems. They will waste time on stupid issues like “should obese people be allowed to eat in restaurant’ or kids should be seperate in to same sex classes, and wear uniforms, they want to take god out of everything. They will eentually want to rewrite the constitiution and what our founding fathers have built this country on.
Just don’t vote Obama and the liberal dems into office.

So, let me get this straight -
Hillary runs an ad that causes people to think about who they want to answer the phone in the White House at 3 am when there’s a crisis.
Barack says it’s fear mongering, and then runs almost the exact same ad for himself.
Barack is running on his judgement, the same judgement he used to have Rezko help him buy the land next to his house while he knew Rezko was under investigation for fraud. The same judgement he calls bone-headed.
He whines about being asked about it. He whines about being asked about anything he doesn’t want to be asked about.
If he is the nominee, he will be just as whiney about McCain, and the Republicans, and then he won’t be able to blame it on Hillary anymore.

Obama has a meltdown when asked REAL questions by local reporters in Texas
“An exasperated Barack Obama scurried away Monday from the toughest news conference of his campaign, telling reporters who kept shouting questions that he’d spent enough time on the grill.
“Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions,” Obama, looking surprised, told shouting reporters as he fled the room. “We’re running late.”

It’s funny how when it comes to discussing tangible items like National Security, Obama runs away. When it comes to talking about less tangible issues, like “hope,” he’s more than happy to speak endlessly about it.
Get real, Obama.

Hillary knows Reskco. There was a picture of Hillary, Reskco & Bill Clinton on The Chris Matthews Show.
