Bill Clinton Retells Hillary’s 1996 Bosnia Story

I always enjoy reading about Bill Clinton’s point of view. His view of the Bosnia thing is interesting and shows why Hillary felt threatened in her trip.
As for the oil companies, Obama has received plenty from oil company zillionaires according to what I have read. The belief that all his contributions come from small supporters is absolutely not correct.

.
AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL AT SOME TIME PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS , THAT HAROLD ICKES SENIOR ADVISOR TO HILLARY CLINTON VOTED TO STRIP FLA. AND MICH. OF THEIR DELEGATES. AND TO TOP IT OFF SHE HAS KEPT HIM ON HER CAMPAIGN.
OBAMA ALL THE WAY

I guess we are the other half of blue collar workers having had many family members in Harms way I can believe that you might be under fire even if you don’t get shot at but just like in Iraq when a plane lifts off there is always danger I don’t think the clintons are trash the only two term president since FDR what a shame he picked the Democrat party to be loyal to.

Why on earth would he bring this up, now?
The story is dead and gone. The damage that is done is done. At this point, the bell can’t be un-rung.
I’m consistently mystified by what Bill has done in this campaign. All he does by bringing this back up by re-telling the story, is to have journalists look into HIS re-telling, which will invariably only be half true–at best.
Bill, you are KILLING your wife on the campaign trail.

When is Hillary’s senate toime up. I am in Illinois but I will contribute as much money to ANYONE (repub, demo,inde)WHO UNSEATS THAT LYING EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN.
The Clintons need to be out of politics FOR EVER

I really don’t understand you Clinton supporters. I read your comments and I am convinced that you suspend your ability to discern fact from fiction when you defend Sen. Clinton.
It’s really disconcerting. It’s disconcerting how you don’t see their triangulating, Rove-ian politicking and even through the campaign staff.
It’s not that the media is so Obama-biased, or that Obama supporters are just delusional (which is quite ironic). It is that the media and Obama supporters have caught onto genuine character and not divisive politics.

Huh? Lies upon more lies. Clinton just made all this Bosnia stuff up. Check the facts.

The arrival ceremony doesn’t look abbreviated to me. Now, if there would have been snipers in range, Hillary would have been a wonderful target. And the fact remains: she said she was under sniper fire, when she clearly wasn’t. That’s a lie and no matter how Bill (the man who lied under oath) twists and turns it, it’s still a lie.
Then again, not telling the truth must be a prerequisite for being a Clinton.
And I still say… the current race for POTUS reminds me of the Three Stooges or the Marx Brothers. The only difference is, the Marx Brothers were brilliant, even the Three Stooges were funny compared to Hillary, Obama and McCain. No matter how you look at it, the US will be screwed for at least 4 years. I’m so glad I’m not American.

Oh, Bill.
Bill, dear, it is difficult to take you seriously.
Like your fellow lawyers do, once you prove that a witness has lied in a material way in the past, then that is ground to cast down upon his current testimony.
Right Bill Clinton?
And you have lied in the past, Bill, on a matter of grave importance to our republic.
And your wife (who you callously sent into the line of sniper fire) has lied too.
Don’t try so hard, Billy-Boy. That is the way things are. We don’t take your word – nor that of your wife – nor that of Chelsy (who went on that Bosnia trip and yet she let her mom go on fibbing until caught)

With Bill on her side, there is nowhere to go but down. How typical of him to re-rewrite history.
Are these people incapable of telling the truth?n And do their supporters not care about such things? I mean, seriously. Does it bother the supporters that they lie with such ease and with such frequency?

yikes — icky, creepy, lying stuff once again from Bill Clinton. Does he think no on pays attention.
Folks, I’m in a blue state, but going for McCain this time. Obama’s judgement and inexperience are all too like our failed governor, Deval Patrick.

Comedy Gold

A vote for Hillary is a vote for putting Bill Clinton back in office. He will have enormous influence on his wife. They are a team. Team Socialism. Socialism for us, crony capitalism and privilege for a few at the top.

The Clintons just dont understand that it is not OK to lie. If you get caught lying accuse the people who catch you. They truly are sick.

“I don’t think the clintons are trash the only two term president since FDR what a shame he picked the Democrat party to be loyal to.”
Uhm, might want to learn a little bit more about history there friend. Truman, Eisenhower, LBJ (taking over for Kennedy once he was assassinated), and Reagan were all 2 term presidents.

Ha! Ha!….this one will put the nail in the Clinton coffin! MORE LIES!! LOL! Slick Willie, at it again…

I want everyone to know I’m a big Clinton supporter. The reason is that all the millions of people that vote for either one of them proves there is still a market for my schemes out there. You’ve got to love the way Hillary can flat out lie about always opposing NAFTA after stating in her autobiography that it one of the great achievements of Willie’s administration. She can always use the Charles Barkley defense on that one – when pinned down after contradicting something in his autobiography – Charles easily deflected the criticism by stating he way misquoted in the book. Take note Hill – it’s much more effective thatn the cackle.

Bill Clinton is a congenital liar and so is Hillary. Therefore you can’t believe anything they say about Bosnia. They are both disassembling.
IT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING TO WATCH THE HILLARY CAMPAIGN IMPLODING!!!!

There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Hillary Clinton, like her husband, is a liar.
She fabricated her story about Bosnia. Over the last several weeks, she fabricated the story about the woman whose child was stillborn then died herself claiming she was turned away for not having insurance when in fact she did have it and was treated.
The list of lies goes on and on. The Clintons create fear in the minds of the feeble, those not willing or saavy enough to view the facts.
Then, she has a billion dollar program to clean it all up.
As a CPA, I estimate that her programs if passed would cost each and every taxpayer in the thousands of dollars in new taxes.
Weeks ago, she went into an auto plant in Indianna and in a speech indicated she was going to tax big business.
For those of you inclined to think this is a good thing, think for a minute. This is what results in your factories being shuttered and your jobs being exported overseas. It doesn’t happen any simpler than that.
Ohio was particular hard hit. Don’t forget, she was a major proponent of NAFTA. She now tries to distance herself from her lobbying efforts on behalf of her husband.
Michigan to the north also is a democratic tax and spend nightmare. The auto industry continues to hemmorage jobs because of policies she supports and will continue to expand.
Just remember that when you order your Rosetta Stone spanish software so you can move to Cental America to keep your job. Can you say peso?

I find it interesting that they only choose to criticize the oil part of Obama’s campaign commercial… after that sentence he goes on to state he doesn’t take money from lobbyists either.. Hmmm Bill? Hey Bill? Did you listen to that part? What’s your wife’s or McCain’s position on taking money from lobbyists?
Anyone else hear crickets?
Splitting hairs – the more they talk the harder it will be for me to vote for her if she pulls this nomination out… can’t wait for the debate issues, REAL ISSUES!!!! Hooray!

how is the topic in the subject line more important than the fact the economy goes down the drain at very very fast pace, beats me..
or is it just more ‘entertaining’ and easier to beat up on the clintons than to admit that america had a booming economy, a surplus and creating millions of jobs under clinton?
or is just easier to talk crap, huh..

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. I’m not a big politics junkie, but I from what I’ve read about all the candidates I so glad I’m not voting this year,

Bill decided to call Hillary’s fib and raise her a couple more. Isn’t that cute? This is a man the American people elected president TWICE. Same as W. Where have you gone Thomas Jefferson? God help America….

so bill saying at 60 she s to old to remember things late at night then what good would she be at 3 a.m. then.

Fire Destroys Clinton’s Campaign Office In Indiana, Fire Marshals Investigating
Where has this been tried beore? Event staged by the Clintons to make it look like a right wing conspiracy, or victims of black racists in favor of Obama. Hint – This has staged before by many notorious personalities.

Loflyer: I didn’t know that you were in Bosnia at the same time as Hillary. So why then don’t you tell the story if you think Bill Clinton is lying. Do you think Obama is a truthful in everything he states. He is the biggest liar of any candidate that ran for office of the presidency. Kept company with low class people like Ayres, Ayers, Farrakhan and Wright. All scum!!

Average Joe – “how is the topic in the subject line more important than the fact the economy goes down the drain at very very fast pace, beats me..”
It never fails to amaze me that you two party system supporters always try to deflect to another subject when you party is caught up in yet another situation. To answer you JOE, the topic in the subject line is more important because that is what this article is about, not economics. It is about the way that these political figure heads are flat out lying about things that are clearly documented, because they asked for them to be documented in the first place. The Clinton’s invited CBS on that trip to Bosnia, cameras and all. The media isn’t beating up on them, they are just coming out with the footage from the visit and it clearly shows she lied, and to beat a dead horse, I guess our former President decided he needed to add to the lies.
Kikz – you wrote “scott… I’m a strong Senator Clinton supporter and I hold a degree in Master of Science in Information Technology…
Did it sound to you uneducated?”
You have a Masters Degree and you still can not form a correct sentence? Let me lend a hand, it should read ” Does that sound undereducated to you? ”
Phoenix – “Uhm, might want to learn a little bit more about history there friend. Truman, Eisenhower, LBJ (taking over for Kennedy once he was assassinated), and Reagan were all 2 term presidents.”
I we are going to be accurate George W Bush also.
I’m an independent voter, and I have to tell you it is going to be real hard deciding who to vote for, and I am afraid I will have to support McCain because he is the best of the evils campaigning. Sorry Nader, I would support you but reality says we will never be able to get away from this 2 party system.

The first that broke out at Hillary’s office was probably staged by one of Obama’s campaign workers because Obama is a desperate man to win every state here on. His campaign workers are made up of nothing but hate and fear that he won’t win the nomination. And I hope he doesn’t. This country is a disaster now and would be greater if he was president. As a candidate running for the presidency he doesn’t know which way the wind is blowing. Maybe he needs to called his underground crooked friend Ayres who was in trouble with the law at one time. Obama kept company with low down people and a crooked businessman. I am willing to get Obama got a bundle of cash from Rezko that is not reported on his taxes and never will be. God help us if he became president because this country would be ruined.

Delia: If you need help there is something wrong with you. The president could take his daughter on a trip to Bosnia or anywhere else. He could not be charged with anything. Where have you been. President’s can do what the average citizen may not be able to do. And that was back in 1996 so who cares about that trip.

Hillary never robbed a bank? Give her time, Bill….give her time.

I think a lot of politicians have learned that Karl Rove was correct, when he encouraged the Bush administration to continually lie about most anything if it suited their agenda.(Iraq responsible for 9/11, WMD’s, “we don’t torture”, etc.) Rove calls this process “creating the reality.” As Rove explained to Ron Suskind, by the time journalists investigate and respond with the true story, the lies have been absorbed and accepted, and the journalists are ignored.
Bill Clinton knows that there are a few people in that crowd he was talking to yesterday that will never pick up a paper, will never question his statements, will believe that his words are absolute truth. If only 1% of voters are in this group. that’s enuf to change an election.

When are the we going to get sick and tired of the Lies?? every week the Clintons come up with a new one. First their poor then they make 100 Million, she runs from sniper fire thats not true, she tells stories about pregnant women that aren’t true, and in one campain season gets caught 3 times with illegal donations. If we thought Bush was a lier, what does that make her?? The worst thing is that she has no knowledge, is this what we want the president to say, I had no knowledge, she doesn’t know what is happening in her campain, what’s going to happen if she was president???

Bishop: Clinton the first two-term president since FDR? You must have forgotten about Presidents Eisenhower and Reagan.

I’ve been sitting on the fence all this time I have come to these simple conclusions: 1) John McCain seems to be a man of integrity, but a man who wants to stay in the war 2)after looking at Hillary long and hard and reviewing her past I cannot, in my heart, support her because of her habitual denials and story telling. 3) As much as Obama is an unknown and has the Rev baggage, I find him inspiring and not effected at all by the negative traits of his pastor.
My bottom line: I’m taking a leap of faith and voting for Obama on the 22nd. I hope for the Dems sake that this is over soon. We cannot stay in Iraq.

Bill’s right. Hillary didn’t rob a bank.
I believe it was a savings and loan she wwas involved with.

So in summary, Bill lied to try to excuse Hillary’s lies.
I’m not surprised. They are both compulsive liars. I don’t trust a single thing either one of them says.
I regret voting for him. And you can be darned sure I won’t vote for her.

Hillary lies. Bill lies. Their mantra is “lie often enough and loud enough and eventually people will believe it”.
Remember 9/11?? There was Hillary in front of the cameras gushing about how Chelsea was jogging a block away and almost was a victim!! GASP! How terrible! How stunning! How much COMPLETE BS! Chelsea was in NY, but thats about as close as she go to being in danger. Grandstanding, heart-tugging, completely FALSIFIED BS.
The Clintons will say ANYTHING to get attention. It’s all “LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!” Their mommies must have not given them enough hugs or something as children.
They are nothing but pathalogical liars.

If “sleep-deprived” Hillary can’t think straight during a mid-morning talk, then she’s no 3 a.m. wunderkind.
In 1993 she promised us a national health care plan in 100 days. We’re still waiting.
Maybe she did take a bullet to the noggin in Bosnia — that would explain a lot. Still no excuse for “First Philanderer” wannabee Bill, though.

Mariann Pepitone: Are you serious? This is how you rationalize this story about Hillary’s trip to Bosnia? Who cares because this happened in 1996? Apparently she cares because she brought this story out. She lied about it and now her husband is lying about it and because I cannot understand how someone supporting her can rationalize his/her comments, something is wrong with me? THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You made me laugh out loud!

No Bill, they are treating her like she LIED! How weird is that?

Bill’s line (“You woulda thought, you know, that she’d robbed a bank the way they carried on about this”), in the context of his wife’s Bosnian lie, is interesting. That he would equate the reaction to her lie with stealing money suggests to me that he’s actually attemting to deflect attention away from their $110 million post-WH income and his earning $800,000 to support Columbian trade–their having robbed the public’s bank.

Bill and Hillary will tell you a story SIX different ways BEFORE they lie to you. Give em a break.

I am sick to death of people bringing up the economy under the Clinton administration. Would someone please point at something that Slick Willie did while president that directly influenced that booming economy? Yes things were good back then, but the Clinton administration had NOTHING to do with it! It was simply a period of economic prosperity that happened to coincide with the time that he was in office. Bill and Hillary: Stop taking credit for something that happened under your watch that you didn’t actually directly influence.

President Clinton is the most honest man to hold the US Presidency. He is only introducing nuance here to get his audience to look at this minor incident in a different light like any good advocate would do.

That’s cute, Dee N. More honest than honest Abe? I’m going to assume that you are nuancing sarcasm here, though it isn’t quite obvious.

Bill Clinton has always been very good at applying the following two principles:
1) The man who speaks the loudest is the one who will be heard, regardless if he’s right or wrong.
2) If you lie consistantly, and repeat the same lie over and over again, there are people who will always believe you.
He’s done it his entire life. Why should he stop now ?

IF SHE MIS-SPOKE AT LATE AT NIGHT….DO YOU REALLY WANT HER TO ANSWER THE PHONE AT 3 AM !

There are a few things you remember. You remember the first time you made love. You remember when you drove your Dad’s car into that bridge and creamed it. You remember the first time you jumped out of an airplane, and you remember getting shot at. You remember the sounds and the smell and the taste of fear welling in the back of your throat. The memory is do intense you relive flashbacks. You suffer from PTSD. You may spend years reliving it and recovering from it. It is an intense personal experience.
You don’t stand up before a crowd and relive something like that with jokes and giggles. If you do you are either so crazy as to be certifiable or you are just a plain old liar. One other thing you don’t do. You don’t say you misspoke. You don’t pretend you just mixed it up with all the other times you were “shot at”
What’s really troubling is she expects us to buy into this delusion and give her a pass and Bill expects us to do the same thing. When we won’t adopt the delusion lock stock and barrel we catch doo doo from old Bulbous nose (man that guy looks like he’s been rode hard and put away wet) for not buying into the delusion.
So tell me about the last time you were shot at. Pretend you are Hillary standing in front of a crowd and tell me what it was like. Then look in the mirror and see if it doesn’t make you feel psychotic. Do we really want this for a president? Gore invented the internet and this babe leaps tall buildings in a single bound, cork screws into the ground and keeps her head down as the bullets rain in. Just sign me ex-Navy Doc

This is comical. According to Bill she misstated the circumstances because she was exhausted at 11 o’clock at night. Yet her own campaign adds tout that she is the one that we need answering the phone at 3 o’clock in morning. I can only imagine the misstatements that would come out of her mouth at that time of the day if she was so exhausted at 11.

Hillary and Bill will do anything to win. They have no integrity! Obama has moe integrity in his little finger than both of them put together. McCain’s rise in the polls has more to do with the Clinton’s backhanded endorsements, than his qualifications. Do they really care about the country or their own selfish ambitions.

What is really interesting is how Hillary has stated numerous times that President Bush mislead Congress about WMD’s in Iraq. I do not disagree with her, but I do fault her for not reading the intelligence before being briefed. Had she, then perhaps she could have asked some revealing questions.
Then, you have her insulting General Petreaus with her “willing suspension of disbelief” comment, which I absolutely disagreed with her on.
It just seems that if you are going to accuse other people of lying, which has caused our country’s problems, then you should not be a liar when running for president.
Hillary Clinton has shown not only that is she a liar, (and certainly not as good as her husband), but she is also a hypocrit.

Bubba08: Unfortunately, some people or lemmings if you prefer, will buy into the delusion. Just read some of these posts. What is wrong with these people???

They are worse than bank robbers. Mere bank robbers sit on the other side of the isle. You want robbery? Tell me: what type of gun would have to placed at the head of those people willing to cough up 7-figure sums for Bubba to come-a-blathering at their conference?
I asked my young son what he wanted to do when he is ready to start working. He says “I want to give million-dollar speeches”. Who would be stupid enough to pay 7-figure sums for a Bill Clinton speech?
Hell, even when I see him speaking on local TV, I flip the channel. What could I possibly learn from this dude? If he wrote a book entitled “Diary of Con Man” … now THAT would be an interesting read. Still, I would not rush out to buy it until I heard reviews from credible sources. The notion that these silverware-stealing flim-flammers should reside in the White House is a bad joke. A very bad joke. Fool me once…

The people who are constantly nit picking about every word said and what they mean and how it was phrased and if they got the year wrong and if only part of it was right and if we go back twenty years and look at some video and see what that shows and some unnamed source said such and such and the media printed it so it must be true……
You people will get what you deserve, someone who is hand picked by the media and will not be the best leader for the country. Try looking at the track record of the candidates, look at what they do and not what they say. Clinton was a very popular president for the democrats old enough to remember, probably the best president we have had since Truman. Talk is cheap and so is gossip journalism…

I do not have any problems with Senator Clinton when she misspoken. People makes mistake, in this case she acknowledged it. Move on guys!

I love all this nonsense about Hillary, Bill, and Obama. It reminds of an old Three Stooges movie called “Healthy, Wealthy, and Dumb.”

Hillary Clinton will do better in Pennsylvania if she is viewed as being attacked or picked on by the media. She already appeals to middle aged and elderly women, so Bill may be attempting to redirect the Bosnia lie/misspoke issue away from what Hillary said and pulling attention toward a more “poor Hillary” slant. When the press asked Hillary why she was viewed as less likable than Obama and she showed emotion, women in NH sympathized with her and voted for her. If Bill’s redirect strikes an emotional chord with women and men who have faced belittlement and trials, his words may end up being very effective in the PA primary. You can say they’re just adding more lies to the situation, but that’s not relevant if his words cause undecided voters to vote for Hillary because they perceive her as being picked on for making a mistake. Don’t forget, most people voting in PA are not reading these online discussions, they’re just reading or hearing what Bill says in the papers or on the news.

These people are the most dishonest, scandal plagued, lying, cheating hypocrytes in the history of American politics. They are a national disgrace and should be shunned at every turn of the road by anyone that is anywhere near competent.

In all true honesty its only natural for Bill to to put his head on the block for his wife. But with all respect being 60 years old and tired at 11 o clock gives you a fair indication of what Hillarys presidential judgement will be at 3AM in the morning “somewhat delusionary” everything goes sadly just like her campaign. David

Both Bill and Hillary are lying. How do you “misspeak” and entire event? Getting a detail of what happened wrong is one thing but her account of the situation was completely fabricated. What did she wake up a week later and say, “Ohhhh yeah….that didn’t happen. I must have mixed it up with that other sniper fire incident.” Are we expected to believe she was somehow under fire so often she mixes them up?
What amazes me is that she thought she could get away with making something like that up. That shows either incredibly poor judgement or a habbit of deception.
As to the way the media beat her up? Clinton has been the darling of the liberal press ever since she made the national scene and she doesn’t know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of their bias when they support someone else. Perhaps she should get with some of the former Republican candidates for congress and ask them for lessons on how to manage it. Maybe it’s a vast left wing conspiracy?

Count me among those who think Bill is hurting his wife even further by mentioning this. I’m an Obama supporter, but I’m shocked at the sort of vitriol I see slung back and forth between Clinton and Obama supporters. It’s time to lay off the character assassinations and take a breather. Clinton will not win; Obama will run against McCain in the fall. Obama will be a great candidate and the Clintons will eventually support them. No matter what the Clintons may have done to the party (or to their reputations), we need all the democrats to unite so that we’re not beat-down with a McCain presidency.
C’mon, people, these personal attacks are unnecessary.

If you have not been taught that a lie is wrong and you think people do not care then you just keep doing it and think nothing of it. These two have been do it for years.

For such a brilliant smart woman – she sure “mispeaks” a lot!
(lies a lot – is more like it)

The lie IS important, because it is so obvious. If you had ever been under SNIPER FIRE in your life, you’d clearly remember it, and be quite unlikely to NOT “misspeak” about it. It would be etched in your memory.

Bill said his wife is being treated like a bank robber.
Truth: He is dating a chick named Robin Banks.

You are all wrong. What is said, what happens; well, it just really doesn’t matter. We will be the donkeys to their saddles and they’ll ride us to the barn so they can take all we have, and give it away to anything un-american. Canada doesn’t look too bad right now.

Wait…so, in your blog you write out Bill’s quote like this: “what happened to her in Bosnia in 1995.” Then later in your blog you criticize Bill for saying that Hills went to Bosnia in 1996 rather than in 1995. I’m confused, are you saying he said 1996 another time?

The whole premise of this article is silly. People don’t have photographic memories and they don’t recount events from 12 years ago or even 12 days ago with anything close to precision.
What is the enormous distinction between saying you misspoke and apologizing? What does it even matter?
The microscopic analysis of every word uttered by anyone connected to the Clinton campaign, while Obama’s inconsistencies and downright foolish statements are ignored, is ridiculous.
I’d like to hear the press ask Barack Obama: Do you really think a few foreign trips, a layover in London, having a friend who’s an immigrant, and living in Indonesia for a few years as a little kid makes you a foreign policy expert? While you sneer at and belittle Hillary Clinton’s 80 overseas trips, where have you been? Were you ever anywhere near war zone, Senator?

Sometimes it takes a Clinton to attempt to unring bells that the other Clinton has rung. I used to think that Bill was an amaziing politician with a brilliant mind. WHat in the world was he thinking. This is one of the most insane lies that he ever concocted, and it has surely backfired. Apparently he thinks that lies will not be exposed if he just keeps moving ahead. Bill, please go back to being a dignified ex-President instead of a down and dirty “Carville styke hack.

While most think the constant patterns of lying is insignificant, it speaks clearly to the candidate’s credibility or the lack thereof. Of course we are expected to forget… The lies about Bosnia (sniper fire) that husband Bill brought back. She embellished the hospital story in which both mother and infant dies. She distanced herself from Mark Penn who was actively pushing to expand NAFTA into South America, but she is opposed to it. Now he’s demoted, not fired.She praised NAFTA saying it was a good thing… Clinton is insulting the American’s intellegence. Honest? or Dishonest? You make the call!

Bill Clinton campaigned for Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut U.S. Senate race against challenger Ned Lamont in 2006.
Lamont won the democratic run off election as the democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. The Republicans returned Liberman to the senate!
