When was the last time Hillary Clinton was faced with a National Security Crisis, or a National Economic Crisis???

The answer: Iraq. She voted for an INSANE war that's not only making us less safe, but our economy is suffering for it.

It is amazing to my why the Clinton campaign chose this as its closing argument.
If Mark Penn was doing his job he would know that a sizable number of Hillary's white, working class support base is predicated upon Bill Clinton being there at 3 AM to help her out.
As unfair as this view is, it is equaled by the view held my many in the same part of the Ohio electorate that refuses to believe that a black man can govern at any level as was pointed out by Governor Ed Rendell.
No wonder the Clinton campaign keeps talking about judgment as a proxy for race.

PAW, Oakland, CA — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 18:14:42 GMT

The John Doe basis for supporting Hillary Clinton.

Some of the highlights of the Clinton's foreign policy and its achievements.
1. American service members naked dead bodies being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu after team Clinton denied them the equipment & support they needed to accomplish their mission.
Soon after the remaining forces were withdrawn in what has become known as our first lost battle in the war against al-Qaeda and Islamic extremism.
2. Rwanda is anything but genocide.
What may be the supreme example of the worthlessness of human life when forced to compete in the semantic driven world of team Clinton.
3. We respect international law.
That is except when we bomb the embassy of a nation with the veto power at the United Nations Security Council.
4. That long term deployments of American armed forces to places like Haiti are in our strategic national interests.
5. Spending time before Monica on the Israeli Palestinian peace process was a waste of time.
6. Reducing the military by 40% and calling it a peace dividend was in the strategic national interests of America.
7. Changing the role of the Guard & Reserve from a strategic reserve to an operational reserve because it is more cost effective.
The results of # 6 & 7 are out there or the entire world to see.
8. That the best way to fight Islamic Extremism was to ignore it.
Hence the reason two of our embassies were bombed in Africa post Somalia and Islamic extremism was able to rage unchecked throughout the 1990's. A few cruise missiles excepted.
9. The unabashed belief that failure to support "W"'s war in Iraq would leave you open to charges that you were soft on national security and nobody is gonna call Hillary soft on anything.
Hence the reason so many in America lay the deaths and maiming of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's right at the Clinton's feet.
If they has courage and conviction of belief they would have stood on principal and damn the torpedoes.
Unfortunately for America's service members and their loved ones the Clinton's could not be bothered with trivialities like reading the intelligence reports or taking a principled stand that would stand up to the test of time.
This is the Clinton's foreign policy in a nut shell.
It does not stand up to the test of time.

Enough with the fear card. Bush and Cheney played it so much the past 8 years that we're all tired of it. Unfortunately for Senator Clinton, they've already triggered the "boy who cried wolf" phenomenon.

More importantly, Senator Clinton got the Iraq vote wrong the first time and she got the Iran vote wrong the first time. We don't need to go for "third time is a charm."

Why he was and is still friends with William Ayers, who bombed the pentegon and many other places in the US.

Iraq and Iran ahve Shiite majorities, so the president's visit to Iraq has nothing to do with Hillary's "knowledge and experience". In fact, I read somewhere the Iranian government is trying to befriend itself to Iraq and establish formal ties in the hope of having Iranian influence in Iraq in the face of Sunni Arab countries, as the U.S. tries to weaken Iran's influence in the Middle East by strengthening Arab nations.
We have already seen Iran meddling with Iraq's affairs.

The candidate with 100% of the advantages and a lock on the Democratic establishment support until the past 4 weeks (when people stopped being afraid of Clinton recriminations) has lost 11 contests in a row and has spent her campaign into debt due to extraordinarily wasteful spending on among other things, Mark Penn, the Senator's Chief Strategist who also happens to be a major lobbyist for the Exelon Corporation (yes, the same one he keeps trying to tar and feather Barack for).

She sees herself as a 'Decider' in the way George Bush does ... anybody can make a decision - to make the RIGHT decision, that is the issue.

She is a person of weak character, dishonest and corrupted by the urge to accumulate power. We have seen sooo many faces of 'Hillary' over the past three weeks.

I want a president like Obama, who has ONE face, who is honest and showed critical judgement!

Just look at Hillary's judgement of how she runs her campaign! She absolutely miscalculated ! She was not prepared after Super Tuesday - Obama worked against all the odds, nobody gave him a chance against the all-mighty Clinton machine - she thought we owe her the presidency. BAD JUDGEMENT, HILLARY!

In your ad, Hillary, maybe you should have picked up the phone instead of letting it ring through the entire ad (while you are sitting at the desk at 3 am). In Obama's response the phone rang three times ... get that ?

The entire world predicted the outsome of invading Iraq - it would be difficult to keep the peace and we had no plan for what would happen after Sadam's regime fell. As a result, the middle East is completely destabilized and Al Quaida is growing. The entire world was correct. Hillary voted for the war, based on poor intelligence and failure to carefully read and judge intelligence reports. Barack spoke out against the war from day one. Who has the critical thinking skills to lead us into this new world? Who has the multicultural background and foreign life experiences to lead our country in this global world? Barack Obama does. As our parents are digging in their heels and holding on to post WWII nationalistic tendencies, our kids are online with peers from all over the world. They're competing in a global economy. The old ways don't work anymore, because, as Thomas Friedman of the NY Times said, "The world is flat." Obama has the knowledge and background necessary for America to survive in this new, connected world.

Gregory Peek, Birmingham, Alabama — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 18:29:51 GMT

Amid the noise that is a presidential primary, there are moments of clarity, of both fact and conscience. Much of what we have seen and heard can be explained, but not justified, by raw personal ambition.

The Clinton campaign may well be remembered as historic, but not for the reason she thinks.It is historic as the most negative and disingenuous campaign of any Democratic candidate. It is historic for its repeated departure from truth. It is historic for playing one group of Americans against another, by race, gender, religion and national origin, when we thought we had left that cynical practice in the past, or at least delegated it to Republicans. Hillary's approach to the nomination is reminiscent of blackmail. Unless the voters reverse their preference of another candidate, she proposes to crash the Democratic Party and hand the presidency to McCain.

Is this the kind of leadership we want from our next president? Or would we rather have a president who brings people together? Would we rather have a president who can unite people across party lines to implement solutions to problems and brings healing to wounds inflicted by too many years of the politics of the past? We have the opportunity to choose such a president.

May God help us to always choose the high road when making choices of such magnitude.

John Doe, those comments are flat out lies and I am aghast that FirstRead permitted them to be published.

The Jewish Anti-Defamation League has stated that they find no evidence of Obama being an anti-semite (I myself am Jewish and come to the same conclusion).

His church is not "all-black." They have white members.

William Ayers is a well-known and accredited University Professor in Northern Illinois who has never been charged with a crime and has not been affiliated with the Weathermen for 40 years, since Barack Obama was 8 years old! It's not clear that the two actually know each other beyond standing in the same room at a community organizing meeting many years ago. Of over 1 million donors to Barack Obama's campaign, Ayers contributed as well. All of $200.

Stop lying.

Hillary the decider?

diane — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 22:24:04 GMT

I really do think this is an important question. Who is best equipped to answer the phone....

THE ONGOING argument that Mr. Obama was opposed to the Iraqi Freedom military action is tiresome and inaccurate.

Mr. Obama was not visible on the national stage at the time of 9-11, and there is little he can do about this except invent a past.... Mr. Obama was not in the Senate and did not have the opportunity to vote "for", "present" OR "against" the war. He was not elected into the Senate until 2004!

A little history lesson on the Iraq War. Please remember that Colin Powell in 2002, as Secretary of State under our current president, argued before our political leadership that the Sunni Muslim dictator Saddam Hussein and Sunni Muslim terrorist Osama bin Laden were in cahoots!

He presented testimony before the United Nations Security Council that Saddam Hussein had stockpiles of chemical weapons, biological weapons (i.e.: anthrax, etc.), and was working to create nuclear weapons in Iraq for the purpose of terrorism. He drew the picture to ask our political leadership to consider a nuclear bomb being detonated on US soil. General Colin Powell had a lot of credibility at the time as he had also held the appointment as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during Desert Storm. He convinced our leaders that the best decision to insure our safety from terrorism, under these circumstances was to go directly onto Iraq with military action.

Presented with this information, our political leaders who had chosen previously to allow the UN to decide overwhelmingly supported General Powell's recommendations.

Mr. Powell was the first black secretary of state. He held substantial credibility at the time of this presentation. Unfortunately, his credibility has been diminished as a result of his part in bringing our country to war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Powel l

I seriously doubt that Mr. Obama would have voted against the war under these circumstances. He has even been quoted as being pretty wishy-washy on the topic. "In a meeting with the Chicago Tribune reports at the Democratic National Convention, Obama said, "On Iraq, on paper, there's not as much difference, I think, between the Bush administration and a Kerry administration as there would have been a year ago. There's not much of a difference between my position and George Bush's position at this stage." (Chicago Tribune, July 27, 2004.) This was during the time he was running for his first (and only) Senate seat.

Mr. Obama is the worse kind of liar. One who hides behind a fuzzy truth.

It is a lie when he says, "I didn't vote for that War!" He was not in office and was not offered the opportunity.

He is a Johnny-come-lately, with a swagger big enough to fool many.

It is almost unbelievable to those of us who do keep track of national and international news, that during this campaign he has been quoted as saying he would "bomb Pakistan" and most recently was apparently unaware that Al Qaeda is in Iraq.

The red phone ad is scary and we do need someone to answer it that is paying attention.

Vote for Hillary. She really is prepared and paying attention.

I do not want someone who will make a split-second, unilateral decision at 3 in the morning. I want someone who has the ability to bring the right people together in order to quickly find a solution to a crisis.

The real difference between Obama and Clinton, which is clouded by the buzz words experience and change, is the style of leadership they offer our country.

Do we want someone who is willing to make a unilateral decision quickly or do we want someone who will stop, think, ask and then decide. I want someone who will consider what is happening and make an informed decision, not someone who believes that the sum total of their experiences gives them the right to make a fast, decisive decision without consulting anyone else.

The presidency is not about making decisions on your own, it is about being the face of this country to the world and gathering enough information to make an informed decision.

Call me a chauvinist if you want, but I DO NOT WANT AN OLD LADY (she's 60) IN CHARGE OF NATIONAL SECURITY.

I say it this way because Clinton is running on gender, she is talking about staffing her cabinet based on gender, she is winning along gender lines, so this justifies me raising a gender question and a gender specific roll.

You can say whatever you want about how women can do what men do, that's BS. Some things men do better and some things women do better, with that said women are not cut out to fight men, especially OLD WOMAN (Thatcher was a phenomenon that Hillary is not.)

Come to your senses here. It is ridiculous to think that an old lady would be a better Commander-and-Chief, than McCain, because if she wins the nomination that's who she'll need to beat. I did not know this nut was so hawkish, maybe that explains her support invading Irag and Iran.

Think about it, what would even drive a woman to want to drop bombs on people, order invasions, rationalize who to kill, who to take over, who not to take over.

The issue of leadership is not just judgement, but willing to take a stance and sticking through. Hillary has shown through the compaign her willingness to change the message and messenger based on what sticks. That is not presidential. I think she has tremendous capability to be a terrific sec. of state or one key member of the new government that will execute - but she clearly lacks the ability to look ahead

Jane, CO — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:32:07 GMT

I never could understand how people throughout time could fall for propaganda and be duped into following a questionable leader. After watching how the media has influenced people's thinking and how a charismatic Pied Piper like speaker has gotten enormous numbers of people to follow him, I now understand how it happens. I keep thinking back to WWII and the many people who followed other charismatic speakers and how the peoples' freedoms were gradually taken away. And now it is happening here. And many of the American people don't have a clue that it is happening to them. Those whom don't remember history are doomed to repeat it. We are in the most frightening presidential race of my lifetime.

Sam Foster, Katy Texas — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:41:40 GMT

Not unless she wins Ohiop and TEXAS..that is unless she is again going back on her word and putting her desires in front of what is best for the Democratic Party once again. Her husband has said it, she has said it and now it sounds like they are trying to iognore what even their close friends are telling them. Unless she wins both states by 65%, even if she won PA, there will not be enough delegates to win this thing even with the remaining super delegates. Bring FL & MI in and they have to hold new primaries as not way will the DNC let it stand since Obama is ahead in the National votes EVEN with the numbers from FL added in. MI can't count since Obama was not on the ballot. Facts they have to deal with or show the American public that they do not care what they think.

mexed, san antonio, texas — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:50:50 GMT

I was for Hillary from day 1 for the very reasons she has come to center on. Her experience, her knowledge of the world and of the USA is far and above that of Barack. Can Barack lead? Yes. But, that is not the question at this point in time. I just don't see anything in him that tells me he matches her wisdom, her capacity to be tough, her knowledge of a very wide range of issues, and her experience. I also see another George McGovern run comming down the road. Hillary is not as far left as Barack. That has become one issue more evident as time has past. He is just too far left to be my first choice. If he wins, I'll vote for the guy. Can't imagine another Republican running us further and further into the last century.

Mark Webb, Dallas — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:54:12 GMT

Her experience???
(1) Voting for the war without looking closely to available intelligence or even watching TV for fresh news from the Middle East.
(2) Praising NAFTA which revealed to the most catastrophic agreement in recent history.
(3) Multiple connections with lobbyists.
(4) Implication in multiple financils scandals.
(4) Working against worker unions for the benefit of Wall Mart.
CCL: one has to be completely uninformed to overlook Clinton's misleading claims about experience. Fortunatley, the majority of voters are not so naive.

John Doe, Joseph Goebbels would have been proud of you. Your unrelenting posting of propaganda you know to be false after repeated corrections by others proves that. You know that if you tell it often enough that some people will come to believe it. Your hatred seems to be only exceeded by your fear. I don't know how you can sleep at night for fear of the bogeyman under your bed.

SMB, Philly PA — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 01:14:50 GMT

So, wait a minute...is Clinton running as a Republican or a Democrat? She seems to be stealing all of Bush's best lines. Or should I say Karl Rove's.

Really, Hill. Shame on you.

US citizen, Santa Cruz, CA — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 01:22:02 GMT

The Clintons blew it on 2 late night call, and dozens of Americans died, right here in the US, due to their mismanagement. Do a websearch on Waco, Tx and David Koresh. 74 died, mostly innocent women and children, with the Clintons giving the commands. I voted for them in 92, I am deeply sorry I did.

Here's a little nugget of geographical wisdom for you, sir: Kenya is not in Iraq.

Shannon S — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 01:50:42 GMT

I apologize if I keep repeating myself, but:

I know one will read this whose mind I can change, but my husband says GO! DO it, do whatever you can. My husband is from Scotland. He has a science Ph.D. Men and women both think that he is a really smart AND a cool guy (who adores smart women - he thinks smart women should rule the world). He has always treated me as an equal, even though I only have a B.A. His colleagues, men and women, treat me as if my opinion and knowledge is equally as great as theirs'.

As much as he believes in the high intelligence and capabilities of women, he thinks that if the Democrats don't vote for Obama NOW, we will never change the world and we will be stuck with the Republican craziness FOREVER!!!! (and I full heartedly agree).

I'm a knee jerk, liberal, woman over 50, for Obama (even though I loved the Clintons!) because I think we really, really need what Obama stands for NOW! I really do want a woman president, but we need Obama now! at this point in time. PLEEEZZZE!!!!!

This is from my heart!!!! Let's give the Clintons their due after we have had a break from Bush/Clinton/Bush/????? Really,! Bill, convince Hillary that it's going to be okay! she will have her historic moment a little bit later.

I might sound crazy, but I know I'm pretty sure I'm, not (everyone tells me that I'm smarter than I think I am (even my Republican friends) so I'm giving this a shot. PLEAZE!!!, VOTE FOR OBAMA, give 'politics' a CHANCE AT CHANGE.

As much as l love the clintons, l think and l wish that is time for Senator clinton, to get out of the raca for the unity of the party if she loses either Tx or Ohio next tuesday and become a team player.Americans still love the Clintons,and will need some help from the clintons during the general election.That's the only way to beat sentor McCain and his Repulican machine.

RobK, Seattle, Wash. — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 01:55:08 GMT

We are in a SH*THOLE in Iraq thanks to the complicity of Clinton and McCain invading the wrong country!

You want HER to be "The Decider"???

She didn't read the NIE; she just based her decision on a "brief".

WTF? Is that how she will wage war in the future?

Did she work "the nightshift" making that decision? Nope. She must have went to bed that night dreaming of being a War President someday. She hedged her bet that the invasion would be quick and easy.

That's who you want as President?

We already have a bafoon as a President making snap decisions.

Grant, Centerville, Utah — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 02:08:11 GMT

Last time the lights were out is when Sen. Clinton voted to support the Iraq war which was the wrong war at the wrong time in the wrong place for the wrong reasons even if Sadam had WMD like almost everyone erroneously thought. Many other Democrats are also at fault for not wanting to appear "weak on defense" in the face of the 2002 elections and going along with the Rove/Cheney/W hype. Hillary is doubly at fault for what I believe was her mercenary interest in positioning herself to run for President as a "macho" supporter of military intervention. It takes more courage to be right and avoid unnecessary wars. It will take immense courage and brains and charisma and leadership to get us out of Iraq in the best way possible without further destabilizing the country and the region. Hillary does not have it. Obama maybe. Let's vote our Hope and not our Fears.

conPA — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 02:29:26 GMT

"those who are in the know"??? Rockefeller is about as good as you can get on security. Then we have Lewis. Kennedy. Kennedy. Kerry. Who is "in the know" movie stars? Ohhhh that's right jack nicholson? Now there is a guy for women rights and has done so much for our nation..right?
CARL ROVE is calling for Hillary not to quit, to go to the convention. Yeah think the Reps. want Hillary to run for a reason? They will EAT HER ALIVE with everything foing on now.
She will NOT RELEASE HER TAX FORMS.
She won't return money from a disbarred lawyer accused of the worst case of sexual harrassment by the EEOC!!! what a woman for women...huh? She sold your souls for $170,000.00 women of America!!
She doesn't talk for me, she doesn't represent me, She makes ALL women look WEAK, and I'm a female democrat from PA!
The Clinton's won't release the following:
1. DONOR list for The Clinton library.
2. DONOR list for The Clinton foundation.
3. Papers from the white house years.
There is the Peter Paul thing, that isn't over!
Bill's international dealings with a country deamed by the U.S. government and SENATE (his wife included) as having terrible civil and human rights violations. He did this for his canadian buddy to make LOTS of money, and in return gave LOTS of money to ....guess who? The CLINTON FOUNDATION!!! Just a teeny cooincidence though.
There are so many dirty deals and secrets being kept by the Clintons, Hillary included!!! Her husband giving a "get out of jail free card" to terrorists for heavens sake! Look it up...he did it!!
If Carl Rove, G.W., Cheney, limbaugh, oReilly, and McCain are against Obama...that's enough for me! I want OBAMA....BECAUSE THEY WANT HILLARY!
Why would that be???
Wake up Democrats before it's too late, or WE will hand the Presidency to the war and FEAR mongors! And remember...HIllary was with them until she decided to run for President!!!
Hillary Clinton is the same old TIRED DIRTY politics I'm soooo sick and tired of!!!!!!

It's time for us to moved to phase 2
Mending the party
Mrs Clinton will you please step aside if you do not win Texas and Ohio by large margins.
For once listen to your husband and the your party, so we can start working on John Mccain.

I lost respect for your husband, after he gave George Bush the baton, instead of handing it intact to Al Gore .
I still have respect for you at this time.
Think of the American People that you care so much about.
Hold your head high and pass the baton.

We TRUST HILLARY implicitly with our national security. We do not trust Obama because he's unknown, unqualfied and unelectable. Obama is too risky for the Dems to nominate.

Hillary Clinton is clearly the most intelligent, most qualified, most experienced, most capable, with the best grasp of domestic and international issues of any candidate in the race. She will be a GREAT President.

By the time the DNC convention rolls around in late August, the obamarama will have faded, it's already growing tired and silly. The Dems do not want to find themselves in an impossible situation of having to nominate an unelectable Obama, Hillary MUST stay in this race through the convention no matter what happens on Tuesday.

VOTE SMART! VOTE HILLARY!

MK, AZ — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 03:15:57 GMT

What I don't understand is how could she not have known that the war on Iraq was a big lie. I, who did not have access to the NIE, figured it out on my own that it was a total construction by the Bush administration and a diversion from the real enemy because 1 - the longer the "War on Terror" the more popular he remains since it was obvious his administration was going to be a total debacle and 2 - c'mon people, didn't you think it would be Jeb that was going to try to continue on the legacy not W? He had to prove he was better than little brother. Bush bashing aside - Senator Obama knew that this was a "dumb war" just like so many of us out there. Yeah, he may not have been in the Senate at the time. But that Clinton campaign argument makes no sense. I mean think about it. She criticizes Obama for "only" giving a speech against the war (a small correct thing) but she made a decision to authorize the war (a big incorrect thing). I mean, do they really believe in the saying - go big or go home? Hmmm, kind of sounds like her approach to health care reform, too. I say doing something that is "right" that may lead to incremental change is better than going for broke in the "wrong" direction.

Since when does sleeping at the White House qualify as experience? With all the people who spent the night there when Bill was president, it's no wonder we don't have a hoard of pseudo experienced candidates. Hillary's mantra of experience by osmosis is simply wishful thinking. If anything, experience shows that Hillary has demonstrated remarkably consistent poor judgment.

IRS eyes UCC over Obama's Hartford speech

The IRS said in the letter that it was concerned about articles posted on the church's Web site and on other sites stating that Obama had addressed nearly 10,000 people at the event. The agency also said Obama volunteers had staffed campaign tables "outside the center to promote his campaign." http://www.connpost.com/ci_8378716?source=rss

Fast Eddie — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 03:46:45 GMT

I would'nt trust Senator Clinton with our security or finances. She voted for the war in Iraq and with Bush on Iran. When I look at her campaign I know without a doubt she can't be trusted to run this country...not to mention her failure with health care in the past. She also has a trial comming up dealing with her INTEGRIY in her 2000 senate campaign.
