Great choice for an endorsement....Birds of a feather still flock together

Probably the biggest barrier to voting for Hillary is that Bill will be in charge, cause he can't be anything BUT in charge. Not a nice thought. And, I seem to remember that his grandiose ideas went NOWHERE until the Democrats lost the 1994 Congress and had to "triangulate" his ideas with the conservative Republican majority. I think Obama is on to something; Reagan represented a change of approach, and a wave of conservatism that is still being played out in America. Weird, but the Clintons and their campaign seem to be yesterday's news, and a pity because I like Hillary immensely more than Bill.

Senator Obama was not in the Senate when the Original Patriot Act was voted on...But you do you who was in the Senate and voted for the Original Patriot Act....Hillary
Now let me continue to further educate you.....Senator Obama voted for the revised version of the Patriot Act...in fact, he was part of a filibuster of the original version...And do you know why this filibuster was done....Answer: He was trying to get civil liberties placed in the Patriot Act.....(Your Candidate "The Clintons" where okay with the original version because they never bothered to read it) And so once the reversions were place in the Patriot Act and only then is when Senator Obama voted for it.......

Senator Obama voted for funding the war.....Now maybe you look at this as a problem....But I and like many Americans look at this for what it actually is...The soldiers did not make the choice to go to war, it was the likes of Hillary Clintons that made that choice for them......but since our solider are over there fighting an unnecessary war we must keep them safe and protected...Or would you rather that not happen..

And now we find out that she voted for both of the Bankrupcy bills....But she was glad one of the bills didn't pass "“This was a bill she voted for in 2001 and that the credit card companies and the banks had been pushing to make it harder for people to get out of debt and reduce the 30-percent interest on the credit cards and folks had been going bankrupt for it,” he said. “She was asked about it by Tim Russert and she said, ‘Oh I voted for it but I’m glad to see that it didn’t pass"

A much more insightful piece can be found in The Guardian, Remembering Reagan by Richard Adams. Summary: "In making historical parallels, Barack Obama came not to praise Ronald Reagan but to bury the Clintons." It also contains this, as a matter of interest: "Ronald Reagan of course died in 2004. And when he did, he was praised "for the way he personified the indomitable optimism of the American people", a statement issued by - you guessed it - Bill and Hillary Clinton."

Hey Billary,

Read Obama's entire comment..."And, you know, the Republican approach, I think, has played itself out. I think it’s fair to say the Republicans were the party of ideas for a pretty long chunk of time there over the last ten, fifteen years, in the sense that they were challenging conventional wisdom."

It's true...let's remember the facts...

1. We lost a Democratic Senate and House of Representative under your administration...can you say New Gingrich. The Republican revolution occured because people were feed up with the status-quo Democrats and wanted a change.

2. It's the Republicans who forced your hand to sign welfare reform.

3. It was the Republicans who put a cap on spending.

4. It was Ronald Regan and George Bush (both Republicans) who ended the Cold War and the Irag War.

We do not need another Clinton Administration...filled with slim destructive politics.

Time to turn the page America and its Barack Obama!

Yours Truly, Maddog, A Democrat

We are tired of trusting the same people who have been a great part of the problems we are having in this country to fix those same problems they helped to creat in woshington.

If you helped in starting this war in Iraq through your vote in woshington, you were wrong when it counted the most. That is your expirience. If you have been part of the fights that divided this country and woshington and helped deny the people well intended bills like good health care for everyone, you were wrong when it counted the most. That is your expirience. If you have more favours to give to special interests and lobbyists in woshington because they are fighting for you in this campaign; you are wrong when it counts the most. That is your expirience. If you believe in the bush foreign policy of doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, you are wrong when it counts the most. That is your expirience. If you are scared to say or do the right thing even when it's unpopular, as a leader, you are wrong.

Expirience is like a real view mirror and while it shows us where you have been, it can't and shouldn't be used to tell us where we are going without good judgement; we can't look back to the future if we have to go forward to the future. We need a new leader with the right judgement, and the right expirience; a leader who will inspire us to unite for a common cause; who will do the right things when they count the most rather than do the wrong things and look for a chance to fix everything later. We have seen the cost of a broken system in blood, and poverty and in many other ways that we can't and shouldn't be scared of a new day. A better day. We need to know that Yes. we. can. If we have the courage to change. Obama 08.

In the meantime, if you're tired of politics as usually, come visit www.barackobama.com. He's got new plans listed for the economy and the war in Iraq. Come take a look and see if you'd like to be a part of the people's MOVEMENT for change!

But no president can do it alone. She must break recent tradition, cast cronyism aside and fill her cabinet with the best people, not only the best Democrats, but the best Republicans as well.. We’re confident she will do that. Her list of favorite presidents - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, both Roosevelts, Truman, George H.W. Bush and Reagan - demonstrates how she thinks. As expected, Bill Clinton was also included on the aforementioned list.

Bill has room to talk. They say he was the best president the Republicans ever had!
There is a big difference between making a historical fact and discussing ideas (Of which, democrats have to agree we have not been exactly brimming full of the past 20 years)and embracing and enacting republican policies.
Bill was a tool of the republicans.
Obama was stating facts. The democratic party has been so stuck in a rut and they keep doing the same things over and over and never seem to move forward that they have not exactly been the party of new ideas.
And until they can break with the past and embrace the future, my party will continue to be a shadow of it's former self.

THIS IS THE BAD SIDE OF HIS YEARS IN OFFICE.

She(HRC in '93) was put in charge of health care with a democratic president, democratic congress, and with polls showing 80%(??) support for universal health care. Yet she managed to fail.
----------------------------
Remember what happened to other Democrats during the Clinton years. Fewer senators, fewer representatives, fewer governors, fewer state legislators.
--
Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress for the first time in more than 40 years after the 1994 elections.
Democrats lost control of the U.S. House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years, along with control of the Senate and 10 gubernatorial seats---

Keep in mind that there were also party switches from 1992 to 1996 election(1994 was bad for Dems):
Democratic # of senators went from 56 to 47 to 45. Republican # of senators went 44-53-55.
House of Rep. was 258-198-206 for Dems.
House of Rep was 176-236-228 for Repubs.
House of Rep had 1 Ind.
Governors were Dem 21/Repub 14 then changed in 1994 to Dem 11/Repub 24.(no real shift..+-one.. in gov party control in 1996).

Jim Guy Tucker (jail), Paula Jones (at least she got some money for her pain), Juanita Broaddrick, Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky (she got crushed by the bus), Linda Tripp (she did a bad, bad thing and got steamrolled), Al Gore (impeachment, Clinton fatigue and sleaze factor made it impossible to run without having to run away from the Clintons).

Marbw — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:17:36 GMT

Barack Obama

Asked how his being the nominee might help down-ballot candidates, such as Senators and Congressmen, get elected, he said: "If I'm the nominee, one thing I'm convinced about, I will have a better chance of bringing in people of like mind. One of the things I'm very proud of in this campaign is I think we've already changed the political dialogue. I mean, you think about it, you know, when Mitt Romney starts talking like me. Right? Which wasn't the case when he started off. But suddenly everyone's ...'Change.' And you have someone like a Huckabee who is doing very well, basically taking a similar tone of, 'Well, we can disagree without being disagreeable.'

"I think that we're shifting the political paradigm here. And if I'm the nominee, I think I can bring a lot of folks along on my coattails. You know, there's a reason why in 2006, I made the most appearances for members of Congress. I was the most requested surrogate to come in and campaign for people in districts that were swing districts, Republican districts where they wouldn't have any other Democrat.

"That was based on their read of the fact that, you know what, this is somebody who can reach out to independents and Republicans in a way that doesn't offend people…I don't want to present myself as some sort of singular figure. I think part of what's different are the times.

"I do think that, for example, the 1980 election was different. I mean, I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that, you know, Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it. They felt like, you know, with all the excesses of the 60's and the 70's and government had grown and grown but there wasn't much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating and he tapped into what people were already feeling. Which is, people wanted clarity, we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamic and entrepreneurship that had been missing, alright? I think Kennedy, twenty years earlier, moved the country in a fundamentally different direction. So I think a lot of it just has to do with the times.

"I think we're in one of those times right now. Where people feel like things as they are going aren't working. We're bogged down in the same arguments that we've been having, and they're not useful. And, you know, the Republican approach, I think, has played itself out. I think it's fair to say the Republicans were the party of ideas for a pretty long chunk of time there over the last ten, fifteen years, in the sense that they were challenging conventional wisdom. Now, you've heard it all before. You look at the economic policies when they're being debated among the Presidential candidates and it's all tax cuts. Well, you know, we've done that, we tried it. That's not really going to solve our energy problems, for example. So, some of it's the times. And some of it's, I think, there's maybe a generation element to this, partly. In the sense that there's a, I didn't did come of age in the battles of the 60's. I'm not as invested in them.

"And so I think I talk differently about issues. And I think I talk differently about values. And that's why, I think we've been resonating with the American people." Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, has taken one section of this and totally mischaracterized it to say that Obama was saying Republicans had "better" ideas.

"I have to say, you know, my leading opponent the other day said that he thought the Republicans had better ideas than Democrats the last ten to fifteen years," she said. "That's not the way I remember the last ten to fifteen years."

Bill Clinton couldn't maintain a majority in the congress, and it took an administration the likes of Nixons to get it back. While the Republicans let Bill be popular, they got everything they wanted in Washington knowing full well that he would blow it in the long run. With the Clintons you're sure to get more partisan fighting and a country tore up from the floor up. With Obama you're sure to get optimism and loads of inspiration along with a beautifully brillant political mind. A person who plays fair, tells the truth, and offers a vision with a greater perspective of what's needed and how to obtain it.

You are absolutely right. After the debacle of the Clintons losing the Democratic Congress (after 40 years of Democratic control) and the miserable failure of Hillary’s so-called Universal Health Plan, their co-presidency legislative program was very much a lifting or an expansion of Reagan/Republican concepts and ideas.

By the way, if Hillary has already served as a co-president with Bill for 8 years, isn’t she termed out?

Of course, if "one" was a Republican.

Unfortunately for Republicans, I WAS a Republican in the 1990's, I never voted for Bill Clinton, and I gave Republicans all the credit for peace and prosperity.

Then all the sudden, those very same Republicans got the reins with a REPUBLICAN President.

So... if those Republicans were so successful with Bill Clinton, how did they get to be such miserable failures with George Bush?

One thing Bill Clinton believed in was SMART government.
Republicans, it now appears, actually have no idea how to make government work. (At least, Bush Republicans obviously don't.)
