Clinton: Scrutiny vs. transparency

Sierra, SF — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 13:11:07 GMT

Can there be any doubt ?
Can there be any argument ?

The Clintons have re-introduced race-baiting into the campaign
I guess the media hasn’t noticed

First, there was the picture of Obama in a Somali costume
That lasted a few news cycles

Then, there was PA Gov. Ed Rendell who jsut happened to say many people wouldn’t vote for a black man.
Good for a news cycle

Then, the case of Geraldine Ferraro
Obama wouldn;t be here if he was white or a woman
That dominated the news cycle for a few days
Was she being stubborn by repeating her claims and demanding an apology ?
Or was she asked to keep the controversy alive
For a week or two

Now, Rev Wright’s videos appera
Where did THEY come from ?
Does anyone remember Bob Novack saying the Clintons told him they had SOMETHING on Obama ?

Does anyone remember the constant whining by the Clintons about the press giving Obama a ;free pass’ ?

Now, Bill is complaining he was ‘mugged’ about race in SC

It’s NOT the Republicans who are guilty of race baiting...... It’s the Clintons

Is there any depths that they won’t sink to ?

Can you possibly support a candidate/candidates who sunk this low ?

Write your Democratic office holder and ask, no DEMAND they stand up to this nonsense

The first viable African-American candidate for President
An honest and decent man

AND HILLARY IS RACE-BAITING HIM !!

Why the scrutiny? We know Hillary did more than any other first lady. She changed the definition of the term. You have more film footage of her actions than the papers released. Why don't you look at your calendars, papers and film?

This is why the schedules are absolutely worthless. We need her actual papers but she's blocking the release of those. Oh, yeah, and how about those tax returns? Oh, yeah, and how about those earmark requests?

How can we judge whether she's capable of running the country when we know so little of her past? Hillary needs to address the public's concerns, especially now that it appears she dramatically overstated her foreign policy bona fides.

Well, at least these papers reveal one thing about all of Hillary's claims to experience in policy making or in foreign affairs / relations - A Big Fat 0.

Regarding Hillary's comments that not counting the Michagan and Florida votes would be unAmercian. Well, I guess that makes Hillary unAmerican for recognzing and saying that the votes in Michigan and Florida would not count prior to saying the votes in Michigan and Florida should count (to save her political career). And if there are people in Michigan and Florida who really believe she is concerned for them rather then for her own personal gain then my lack of faith in many American voters because of their ignorance has been confirmed. I'll give Hilllary this. She sure is "the" Master of BS.

For those who ask, "why do we care about the records?" I say: she is basing her entire candidacy on her 35 years of experience and her experience as First Lady. So why wouldn't YOU want to know what that experience was?

...But meeting with officials in Kosovo, Northern Ireland, cabinet members and members of congress and the senate in trying to push the healthcare issue... I guess wasn't in the released papers.

SHE WAS FIRST LADY AND NOT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA. On the flip side, she would have been criticize for being too invovle in the day to day running of the Presidency.

You people need to try harder in advancing obama Presidential run for the white house while diminishing Hillary Clinton's roll as first lady and to some extent her significant experience on the world stage.

So blacking out of the documents and having "private meetings" equates to transparency? Only in Hillary's mind. Once again, the Clinton spin. Aren't people just plain tired of this? And you actually would vote for 4 more years? This is what is so hard to believe.

HILLARY HAS MADE A CAREER OF SECRECY ... "IT TOOK A LAWSUIT" TO GET HER TO RELEASE THESE WHITE HOUSE SCHEDULES ... SHE IS OVERLY ARROGANT AND SECRETIVE.

HP Boston — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 13:55:39 GMT

This is exactly it. While I thought she should release documents, I wasn't pressing for it cause I really didn't think they would tell us much (too much can still be hidden). Thanks for pointing that out. A whole public life of being secret is not erased by the release of these documents.

These schedules answer questions the same way
Sen. Clinton "answers" anything-not at all.

But any foreign policy miracles she claims to have contributed to can only be responded to by:

PROVE IT!

I don't know how Hillary can keep a straight face when bold face lying to the American people, nor do I know how she can sleep at night. Where was she when top people on her campaign were voting to strip MI and FL of their delegates? Now she wants to say its un-American? She is such a joke! She is the most opportunistic, arrogant, dirty politician it should make woman everywhere disgusted that she represents them. Why aren’t people questioning her “judgement” for staying with Bill all these years?

Obama and Clinton are so underqualified, untransparent, and inexperienced. Why vote for either!

It would be importatnt for senator Obama to point out that the Clinton campaign throughout these primaries have cherry picked States. Over 40 states have voted to date with Obama winning twice as many states as Clinton. The clinton campaqign simply ignored some states saying either there were too small to matter or were red states.Therefore according to the Clinton campaign some democratic votes are more importatnt than others. Michigan and Florida violated DNC rules thats two states out of many if she truly cared for voters rights she would have ran a 50 state strategy as opposed to the 6 or 8 state campaign she has ran thus far....Go OBAMA

What is Hillary Clinton hiding? Is she afraid that we'll learn that she's truly padded her resume? In the real world, people get fired for lying about their resumes.

This is not the first time this has happened.

Consider the afternoon of March 9, 1995, when Johnny Chung, made a fateful trip to the White House carrying a campaign check for $50,000. For many critics, Chung later became a symbol of the campaign-finance abuses of the Clinton presidency, a mysterious Chinese businessman who managed to be cleared into the White House on 49 occasions. (He also later pleaded guilty to campaign-finance violations and testified that a sizeable chunk of his illegal campaign cash came from a Chinese military-intelligence operative.) Hillary Clinton made a special trip to the Map Room that day so she could have her picture taken with Chung. "We handshake, and then she [Hillary Clinton] said, 'Welcome to the White House, my good friend'," Chung later testified, describing the encounter with Hillary Clinton. Right after that, Chung hand-delivered his $50,000 to Maggie Williams, who was the First Lady's chief of staff at the time and now manages her presidential campaign.

Why is it that everyone in and around the Clintons are convicted for one thing or another, but the Clintons always come out squeaky clean?
