Lets see, its ok for Obama's mentor to be an unamerican unpatriotic racist bigot pastor, but its not ok for Hillary to mispeak about what happened more than 10 years ago! This whole thing makes me sick. This is one Hillary supporter who will NEVER EVER EVER EVER vote for Obama. Yes, she did mispeak about what happened. She was told to put on a bullet proof vest before leaving the plane because there was threat of sniper fire, and that's what she meant to say you idiot Obamabots. I can't wait for Obama to lose the general election if he gets the nominee, so all us Clinton supporters can say, very loud: Told ya so, told ya so, told ya told ya, told ya so!

I had planned to vote for one of the two democratic candidates. Obama is strong and inspirational. Clinton is tough. The problem now is Obama has proven he can win enough to defeat Hillary. Hillary seems perfectly willing to exercise a scorched earth policy in order to overtake Obama. I dont like what I see from the Clintons, it reminds me of the kind of politics we have had for the last 8 years. I would consider voting for Clinton in the next election but because of the way they are campaigning now, I can no longer pull the lever for her. For me and many that I know I will either pull the lever for McCain or Obama but I will not support Hillary. Hillary needs to get out of the race. Let Obama run his campaign. If she gets out now I will vote for in 8 years, If she carries this to the convention I will never vote for her.

You're right, we shouldn't simply dismiss it because "politics as usual" is what have driven this country to this low point, and politics as usual is what Obama is primarily running against. If we don't start holding these politicians to their irresponsibility and recklessness, then we can expect more of the same.

Well, according to the polls Obama's popularity has risen to the point where he's going to the top again. According to the interviews I've seen, most Americans realize that the race issue had nothing to do with politics and was a tactic used to keep the issues off of the table. According to Bill Richardson's endorsement, Obama's speech moved him as a man and superdelegate despite his loyaly to the Clintons. According to the numbers not only has Obama already won the nomination, but his voting base is expanding.

And for those who say Clinton "misspoke", get real. She said there was no greeting ceremony and only danger and sniper fire with here and her collegues running for their lives .. despite video proving the contrary. How is that misspeaking? Saying "typical white person" without mentioning typical of that era is misspeaking. Saying you were under sniper fire and had to run off the plane to your vehicle is a blatant lie. Saying that there was no reception at the airport was a blatant lie. She was greeted by children with flowers and she even kissed a little girl on the video.

5) she claimed to had advocated on behalf of a U.S. military intervention in Rwanda to stop the genocide there. However,key foreign policy officials say that a U.S. military intervention in Rwanda was never considered in the Clinton administration's policy deliberations

6)She said speech don't matter but then she claims her speech in China as part of her foreign policy experience!

7) Her exaggerated her trip to Bosnia

8) Her claim in getting SCHIP passed. In reality, the Clinton Administration fought the SCHIP effort which was being advocated by Senators Edward Kennedy and Orrin Hatch.

9) She claimed on Sept. 11 daughter Chelsea was jogging around the World Trade Center when she was at home sleeping.

At least Hillary has been to Europe, that beats school yard diplomacy in Indonesia. Her record is stronger than Obama's hot air.
She might have not remembered this correctly but she was there.

Hillary supporters, have you even done any research on this candidate you support so strongly? If you have you are either sleep deprived or mis-speaking.
Educate yourself before pulling the lever and not FOX research

from Chip Collis (Huffington Post)

How do you misspeak about something like that? What were you getting mixed up over?

"Oh, no, it was the OTHER war zone I flew into and ducked sniper fire and ran to the cars. I misspoke."

"Did I say sniper fire? I meant mosquitoes. Huge mosquitoes in Bosnia. I misspoke."

"Did I say I only got sent to countries that are too dangerous, too poor or too small, thereby implying that I was an inconsequential and expendable member of the Administration? I meant that I was VERY important. I misspoke."

"Wait, did I say that there are countries too poor for the President to go to? I meant that...um... Leave me alone, I misspoke!"

This unfortunate episode joins a cavalcade of other statements in which Hillary has been caught misspeaking like a rug. And the most prominent of these statements have been those that were used to pad her resume so much that you'd need an oversized pantsuit coat to hide it.

"Did I say I was instrumental to peace in Belfast? I mean that I was instrumental to TEAS in Belfast."

"Did I say I always disliked NAFTA? I mean I couldn't stand ASTA - stupid little terrier."

"Did I say it was an honor to be here with Barack? I mean I'm gonna rip his lungs out! And we'll still be friends."

All these are part and parcel of a broader pattern of what begins as self-deception, where previous goalposts cease to be operative, where people who dare to cross you get labeled as "Judas," and where by some weird transference, you not just accuse, but actually BELIEVE that your opponent is guiltier of all your sins than you are.

Some people are mistakenly equating Hillary's growing credibility gap with what happened to Al Gore. Leaving aside that Gore was unfairly smeared, while Hillary is self-inflicting these wounds, it's more accurate to equate her with Richard Nixon.

Nixon destroyed himself because he obsessed over what the Kennedys had "done to him." He went nutsy-commando with the Plumbers, with the Ellsberg break-in and the enemies list and, of course, with Watergate, because he rationalized that it had been done to him, and everyone else was doing it, and so he had to do it to protect his Presidency because he was what was best for - and about - America.

Hillary Clinton has become Nixon.

the clintons have been fabricating the truth for years and years. her whole electability argument is based on a lie that will be called out by McCain who will eventually become the president if Hillary were to strongarm the nomination using her husbands connections.

I had a lot of respect for Hillary and her accomplishments. But there is a line I will draw - integrity is an important attribute in my president.

It's an obsession with her, to be the First Woman in History, even if she has to make the story up.

NO MORE CLINTON DRAMA, VOTE FOR CHANGE, VOTE FOR OBAMA

DON'T EVER LIE TO US AGAIN, GET OUT THE RACE.

For all you Clinton apologists who seek to dismiss this as a minor issue, wake up. Every candidate misspeaks from time to time. Not every candidate runs on the argument of experience and then exaggerates the extent of her experience time after time after time.

It isn't just Bosnia. It is bringing peace to Northern Ireland ("a wee bit silly" according the Nobel laureate who actually DID negotiate the accord); opening the Macedonian border (despite arriving a day after the border was opened) or any one of countless other examples.

These are intentional exaggerations designed to mislead voters into thinking she did things she didn't actually do. If that were Bush, you'd rightly excoriate him. For Hillary, you offer excuses? Are you serious? You people are sick.

Was Hillary Clinton ever shot at by a sniper? Did she ever have to run from her plane to a waiting car because of sniper fire? If not then it's a bold faced LIE!
Only a compulsive liar would lie when there's absolutely no reason to.

Anyone who votes this fall will have to overlook some character flaws in their candidate of choice, and focus on the strengths that they exhibit. Obama is my pick, based on his stance on open-ness, bottom up democracy, opposition to the Iraq War and thoughtful approach to issues.

Afrobaby needs to get facts checked. The people in Ireland seem to have appreciated Hillary's support and help in resolving their problems. George Mitchell said she was of great value. She did make an historical speech in China. And so on.
"Typical" politicians, and a lot of people, embellish stories to put it politely. The real issue is why and for what reason and what they were embellishing, not just how often. Read Obama's Selma speech and do the math, he is playing games in that speech.

Why are almost no reporters talking about the virtual impossibility of Clinton getting elected.

Even her campaign admits a less than 10% chance of winning,
and
THE ONLY WAY SHE CAN WIN IS BY GETTING SUPER DELEGATES TO SUPPORT HER AND OVERTURN THE PLEGED DELEGATES THAT HAVE BEEN ELECTED!!!

Look to politico.com for more info.

CLINTON CAN"T WIN! She can only divide the party even more.

Clinton, Once Again, Gets Biggest Northern Ireland Validation of All
by Diane Elayne Dees
March 22nd, 2008 @ 10:08 am

Nobel Peace Prize winner John Hume, speaking on a nationally syndicated radio show yesterday, talked about Sen. Clinton’s work in Northern Ireland–her “people-to-people approach, her generous use of time in meeting with the various sectors of the region, her interest in the real concerns and needs of the people of Ireland, and her focus on peace.” He also talked about Clinton’s contributions through her lecturing at the University of Ulster’s Tip O’Neill Chair of Peace Studies on the subject of ‘Peace in the Modern World’. “I have no doubt, given Hillary Clinton’s commitment to peace in the world, as President of the United States, she would give such leadership,” Hume concluded.

In another recent interview, Hume said “I am quite surprised that anyone would suggest that Hillary Clinton did not perform important foreign policy work as first lady. I can state from firsthand experience that she played a positive role for over a decade in helping to bring peace to Northern Ireland.”

Recently, former Senator George Mitchell also validated Sen. Clinton’s claims that she was part of negotiating the peace process in Northern Ireland, after these claims were questioned. “She was helpful and supportive, very much involved in the issues, knew all of the delegates,” Mitchell said. “She accompanied President Clinton on each visit he made to Northern Ireland, made several visits of her own. Her greatest focus was on encouraging women in Northern Ireland to get in and stay in the political process, the peace process. And I have said publicly many times and wrote in my book, the role of women in the peace process in Northern Ireland was significant. It did make a difference in the process, so as I said I think it was a helpful and supportive role.”

Former Northern Ireland Ambassador Elizabeth Bagley

“As a former US Ambassador and Irish citizen, I wholeheartedly support Senator Clinton for President, she has the strength and experience to assume the Presidency on day one, but, also because she has the proven track record of promoting peace in Northern Ireland for more than a decade, through her advocacy on behalf of children damaged by the conflict and her encouragement and promotion of women in the political process.

Hillary visited Northern Ireland seven times between 1995 and 2004, where she brought together women from both communities, Catholic and Protestant traditions, to meet and work together toward a common goal of peace in Northern Ireland.

In September, 1998, she was keynote speaker at the first Vital Voices Conference on Women in Democracy in Belfast, which brought together 400 women to promote their leadership roles in the peace process. Hillary announced over $2 million in public and private partnerships to support community organizations, expand child care services, assist women in business and strengthen advocacy skills. She also pledged to them that she and the President would stand with them as they together took risks for peace and urged them to transform their ideas into actions, and their dreams of a peaceful Ireland into reality.

I serve on the board of Vital Voices International, which was founded by the then First Lady Hillary Clinton to promote political and economic empowerment for women, and which co-sponsored the 1998 conference with then First Minister David Trimble and Deputy First Minister Seamus Mallon, who praised the work of the conference. It is therefore, puzzling that Lord David Trimble recently referred to Hillary’s involvement in the Northern Ireland Peace Process as “a wee bit silly”, when his wife, Daphne, attended all the training sessions sponsored by Vital Voices and was actively involved in its’ reconciliation and development work.

Hillary’s passion and commitment to Northern Ireland not only contributed to the peace process and to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, but it continues to this day. As Senator, Hillary has visited both the Republic of Ireland as well as Northern Ireland, where she met with all political leaders, including the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, whom she also meets with every year during this St. Patrick’s Day visits to Washington. In fact, when Martin McGuiness and Ian Paisley visited Washington as the First and Deputy Ministers of the new Northern Ireland Assembly, they met with President George Bush and then with Senator Clinton, to thank her for her contributions to the peace process. As Nobel Peace Prize winner John Hume stated, “Anyone criticizing her foreign policy involvement should look at her very active and positive approach to Northern Ireland and speak with the people of Northern Ireland who have the highest regard for her and are very grateful for her very active support for our peace process.”

http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/article/view/?id=6506

This is just one statement from Irish leaders who have the highest regard and appreciation for Senator Clinton’s contribution to the political peace process in Northern Ireland. Now compare Obama’s involvement in Kenya to help his cousin who is a candidate for president.

http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/01/31/obamas-african-hubris-2/

…Leader of the Kenyan Orange Democratic Movement opposition leader, Raila Odinga, is Barack Obama’s cousin…wants to be president…two of Kenya’s tribes…are killing each other over a disputed election that Odinga, Obama’s cousin, claims was stolen from him…Former Clinton aides currently working for Obama…directed Dick Morris to Kenya to advise the Odinga campaign in November of 2007, shortly after Odinga visited with Obama in America. Morris was an extremely divisive factor in the Kenyan elections…Kenya currently teeters on the edge of political chaos and civil war…

Now which Democratic presidential candidate has positive and effective foreign policy experience?
