Isn't there some money somewhere that you should be busy stealing, instead of opening your mouth and stinking up the place?

I think it's fair to say that Sen. Obama's love for America is unproven. We know his wife was never been proud to be an American until her husband ran for President, and that his Pastor has a seething hatred for America. I'm confident, however, that Sen. Obama is going to spend a bunch of time and money over the coming months proving how much he truly loves the nation that has given him the opportunity to earn every single thing he has.
So, is that the same Bill Clinton who, on Nov. 15, 1995, while the first lady was in a mid-afternoon "meet & greet" photo opportunity at the White House with various Nobel Laureates and their families, had what Monica Lewinsky, proud Portlander that she is, later said was her first sexual encounter with the president in the private study off the Oval office?
Which then was re-enacted Nov. 17, Dec. 31, 1995, Jan. 7, 1996, Jan. 21, 1996, Feb. 4, 1996, March 31, 1996, April 7, 1996, Feb. 28, 1997, and March 29, 1997, according to Ms. Lewinsky's testimony?
As an aside, welcome to Portland, Monica, this way to the streetcar.
The Clintons will gladly run the Dems chances into the ground in 2008, if necessary. They will bet that McCain will perish before the end of his first term, then Hills can presumably take the White House in 2012.
If McCain's is elected and then dies (which has happened almost a dozen times) then the VP becomes Prez, and then can run again (maybe twice). Mitt is no dummy. One way or another, he wants a viable way to the White House.
Hillary could be 68 years old by the time "her time" comes again. Hillary needs to squash Obama. It is her only chance.
I'm confident, however, blah blah blah this nation blah blah has given him the opportunity yadda yadday yadda
If Barack Obama Sr. had been President before him then Junior's patriotism would be a proven and immutable quality.
This is the kind of comment that makes me pray that Obama is the most incompetent, radical, vain and recklessly desctructive president this country has ever seen. He gets a free pass from me, man. Unlike all the clowns that voted for Bush's kid. Unbelievable.
To all you fearful types looking under the furniture for the evil, unpatriotic candidate who wants to become president of this country in order to wreck it, here's a news flash: we already have him in office.
If the possession of patriotism gives one a free pass to invade other nations without cause, and send American kids to their deaths in the process, I'm not so sure that patriotism is a desireable quality for a president.
We all know that the Hillary Clinton political campaign is closely scripted and the daily press releases reflect the Clinton dodge ball concept of political strategy and their innate ability to get away with their nasty tactics they believe to be, if not high impact at least necessary.
The Clintons' latest battle attack is of course personalized and directed to destroy Barrack Oboma from every conceivable direction and somehow they know that Oboma cannot respond to all of their escalating attack points and therefore he will slowly but surely seem to be inadequate to the task of being the Democrats Presidential Candidate and succumb to their methods of intimidation.
The Clinton machine has many assets including Bill. He can say or do anything with a straight two faced demeanor in behalf of the Clinton machine including raising money for his foundation from foreign interests whose names he refuses to release to the Federal Govt. and whose objectives oppose our countries laws and interests. Seems like the same good old Bill, keeping himself busy by doing Hillary’s dirty work and raking in millions into his foundation. Sure beats the social security that most of us honest senior citizens get.
Mrs. Clinton's political election methods/ tactics seem familiar. The old adage that you try to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative seems to be Bill and Hillary’s theme song. The last time a Clinton held an Executive Office, a member of the team was caught with both of their hands in a cookie jar and both of the Clinton's were asked to leave the White House. Now if they are successful in their second attempt to reinstate the Clinton legacy I suspect that everyone will be waiting for the second shoe to fall. If you don't want this scenario to reoccur vote Republican and John Mc Cain will lead our country to prosperity and back to its former leadership position in the world and the Clintons will be hopefully be in permanent retirement.
My last question: How can the democrats solve the problem(s) they created with the vast maze of different kinds of Super Delegates and a burocrecy that they invented to elect one individual of their choice to represent their party and hopefully from their point of view the next president.
The have become a laughing stock and not a very good example on how they could take over the executive office of our great country. The only remedy to their situation is to have one man/woman vote, add up the totals and whoever has the most votes is their standard bearer. Cool. Just like the Republicans.
