Clinton worse than Golsbee that is not surprising. The question press should ask themselves is this, would you report the story with the same tenacity you used against Obama in Ohio.

The people of Pennsylvania demands to know the truth. I bet the press won't because they are so scared of the Clinton machine.

Mark Penn is free to do whatever he wants but Golsbee cannot since he is a lecturer

She has massive power over Mark Penn right now. She's his boss. If he's doing something like this, she should be wielding massive influence over him. If she wants to prove she has what it takes to stand up for the American people, she would stop that trade deal or fire Mark Penn.

Kind of sad when a Presdiential candidate makes light of untruths she has stated during her campaign. Goes to show just how lightly she takes such things as well as how this country for some reason does not want to hold people in such positions accountable. Has this kind of behavior become a part of the Amercian fabric and acceptable behavior in our country? We let GWB get by with it for years and now people are laughing at Hillary's joking about her dishonety. No wonder this country is a mess. No honor, integrity or honesty anymore.

Say something to Hillary supporters about this and their only comeback is but Obama, but Obama, but Obama............. instead of acknowledging that their candidate has an issue with being honest. By way of their repsonses they are approving and acceptting Hillary's dishonesty and apparently have no problem with having a dishonet person in the whitehouse. I thought we had decided to take a new path after the last several years of all the lying under GWB.

I actually was horrified to see her joking with Leno about her lying to the American electorate. I was at home with my eight year old daughter (who has been following the campaign). Can someone explain to me how you explain to children that its (a) OK to lie to the American people, that its OK to tell a lie, and (b) that its not only OK to lie but you can even make a joke about it. I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to try to teach my children that lying is wrong when Hillary is on Leno joking about it. And don't anyone try to suggest that my daughter shouldn't be following the campaign. We believe in activism that spills down early in my house.

I have never ever ever been so disappointed in a national candidate. Not ever. Not only the lie after lie after lie but now she apparently feels its OK and funny to do so.

Can someone please explain to me how that is at all appropriate. Children follow these campaigns. Maybe not all eight year olds do but clearly middle and high school kids do.

Wonderful, gee that doesn't signal a huge conflict of interest to have Penn there as a lobbyist dealing in foreign policy matters ::eyeroll::. Who do they think they are kidding? And its not like this was last year, it was MONDAY. You gotta be kidding. Shouldn't he be recusing himself from activities like that if he is involved officially in her campaign?

Or is their no Code of Ethics for politicians ::snicker::

Me too! It just seemed like a horribly awkward and inappropriate thing to do. Maybe if she had a better explanation to go along with it... but she just followed it with a comment about her words and actions being mixed up and then went right back to the lame ass "sleep deprivation" excuse. She should have just left it alone.

I'm afraid Lisa that it has become acceptable behavior in our political realm as well as perhaps in the nature of this country's business as well as its interpersonal relationships between its citizens. Here Obama is trying to take us to a new level of cooperation, team work and integrity, not just between races but between all people who should be working together to make improvements while rejecting this kind of behavior in our leaders. Obama and we the American people have a long road to haul it seems when we have candidates receiving votes who get caught outright lying to the Amercian public as well as famous entertainer / talk show host who make light of the fact the Amercian people are being betrayed and lied to. The bottom line, Hillary teaches and accepts the concept of every person for themselves while Obama is trying to teach and promote every person for everyone else. Let's see what happens and if the American people select the former or the latter. Whichever they chose they are going to have to live with it.

Hillary Clinton is not someone i can trust when it comes to anything. The new poll reveals something i have been saying all along. Hillary is more for the business community than her campaign indicates. For example, Mark Penn role as a lobbyist is an indicator of how Hillary is going to govern should she become the President. Watch for the revolving door…from China to Mark Penn to White House back to Mark Penn to china. Columbia – Mark Penn – White House – Congress – Mark Penn – Columbia. Tell me this is not their plan.

Another thing the media failed to pick up is the number of donors that gave to the Clinton's presidential library. These donors are no dummy; they obviously expect something in return. That is what I called quid pro quo.

I won't be surprise if the press ignores it. Bill Clinton has made more than $50 million dollars since he left the white house. This is the same guy without a law license... can someone tell me how he made that kind of money within 8 years? I know he gives speeches but that is not enough to guarantee more than $50 million dollar in assets.

Lisa from New Britain: Good morning! I saw Hillary joking also and wondered how any mother could explain that to a child interested in the campaign. I think it was highly inappropriate to joke about a lie. I do, however, think as with most of her tactics, this one will harm her more than anything. People are starting to see through her and the polls are showing it. I would remind your daughter that it's NOT okay to lie or to joke about it and explain that's why we have a choice in who our President is and that's why we're choosing Obama! Good luck.

The slide from denial of a lie (it really happened/ okay maybe not this part but that part did/ oops, not that either) to trying to explain it away (misspoke/said only once/oops a bunch of times) to laughing about it as if we should be fond and amused, without ever actually apologizing for it, is truly revealing of the aberrant psychology here. It is very much like Bush doing a skit about searching for the nonexistent weapons of mass destruction (ha, ha, isn't it cute, my lying and all the harm I've caused with it). I was watching Leno but could only get through a moment of this before I turned off the t.v. in disgust.

Wolfson works for Glover Park Group, who has ties to pharmaceuticals and Fox News (no wonder Hillary likes Fox).
As this article points out, Hillary's campaign managers have ties to companies who move jobs overseas.
Bill Clinton is part of an off-shore investment company. Off-shore investment companies are more commonly known as tax shelters for the wealthy.
There are also ties to big oil companies.

Mark Penn is a reminder of the poor decisions and leadership in Hillary's campaign(which did not even have a plan for after Super Tuesday!). How can she possibly lead our country? More disturbing to me is that someone would lie about SNIPER FIRE and make a joke about it. Especially when her daughter was with her on this trip and has to have known her mom was lying all this time. What kind of example is this to set? Hillary does put winning ahead of everything ... and everyone.

I loved how she tried to play it off as a "mismatch of words".

I also love how she lied about Obama blocking the votes in Florida and Michigan, and then when Leno asked her about leaving her name on the ballot and those states breaking the rules, she got all flustered and stuttered and said "well, I don;t want to go into all of that right now, but, but you can read about that...."".

This woman just LIED again to ALL of our faces and she does not care. She cares about nothing but getting back into the White House so her and her cronies can continue their little DLC click in Washington.

She also flip flopped on NCLB. She voted for NCLB, yet last night on Leno, she said she wanted to "do away" with NCLB.

So is this another"I voted for it, but hoped it wouldn't pass", like the bankruptcy bill she voted for?

Or maybe a "I was for it, before I was against it" like NAFTA.

Or how about "I didn't know what I was voting for, I was tricked" like the war.

FLIP FLOPPER.

Either way, this woman is just to predictable, and I CANNOT wait until June, when she HAS to leave!!!

More states.
More delegates.

I understand Lisa but don't ever let someone tell you that you cannot criticize your own country if we are going down paths that we should not be taking while knowing better. We all love and appreciate our country and would die for our country but remember that our country is not a living breathing entity on its own. Our country is people, many individuals who have come together as a group and who have flaws as well as stengths. Never to criticize your country during those times when we expose our flaws is being unpatriotic, not the other way around.

An example is Iraq. As a three tour Vietnam Veteran I am a bit old for military duty today but if asked I would go to Iraq tomorrow and help to protect and fight for the safety and well-being of my fellow military members. But at the same time I have every right to say I disagree with the path my country is taking in Iraq and do feel that we are placing our military troopers in very precarious and unwinnable situation in Iraq. I may be criticized for my criticism of US policy in Iraq and may even be called unpatrioitc by some. But those who follow blindly and who never object to or criticze our country when we enter into a flawed and senseless objective (that cost American lives), that to me is being unpatriotic. You can love and fight for your country but you have every right as well as an obligation to criticize your country when and if you feel it is losing those characterestics on which the people agreed to form this nation, honesty, integrity, equality, human rights, pursuit of happiness, truth, cooperation, fair and proper representation, etc.

I do not give HRC any more attention than I would give to the latest weight-loss pill infomercial. If networks see that their ratings drop sharply every time she is on, perhaps they will stop promoting her.

Randy, Ft. Mohave,Az — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:27:48 GMT

I am just livid over her joking on Leno!!!!!
She has no sensitivity towards those that actually do come under real sniper or any other fire serving their country. To think that she sees herself as ready to be Commander an Chief shows just how out of touch she is to what the people in the armed services need in a Commander and Chief.Those serving right now under fire must be angry and most certainly if she were their Commander and Chief right now would be in a low morale state.
Once again I must point out that there have been people who have served or not served that have claimed to have come under fire as in Viet Nam and never were even in counrty. They have been PROSECUTED AND GIVEN SENTENCES FOR THEIR OFFENCE. I was ouraged by the swiftboater's attacks on Kerry and questioning if he deserved his medals, the people behind it were Bush people, Kerry was in country. Bush who I doubt very much with his personality is forgotten could come up with no one that knew he was in Alabama finishing his tour.
Those same people would have a ball with this one from Hillary.
For all Hillary's women supporter's; I ask you to really think about this, especially those that have members of their family or friends of family that have served under fire do you really want someone that lies about something so Honorable to be their Commander in Chief? I do believe that this country is ready for a women President; but certainly not this one.
As a Veteran; I want all those who are serving under fire today to understand that we who have also served our country with Honor are feeling not only outrage but embrassed by Hillary behavior on this, Thank You for being there for your country.

Its become painfully obvious that Senator Clinton, her husband, their daughter, and her entire campaign believe that they play by a different set of rules. That is, when they play by the rules. This attitude of being able to do or say anything because they're entitled to the office is disturbing, and their fanatic belief that they MUST do so because they think they are so right, so destined, so much smarter than everyone else is troubling. Their history of winning by any means necessary and their pathological need for power do not bode well for America should she become president. When President Clinton feuded with a Democratic Congress during his presidency, it paved the way for the loss of Congress and the election of George Bush. Should Senator Clinton head the Democratic ticket in November, woe be to the down-ticket candidates. Not John McCain nor ANY Republican candidate could so energize Republicans and right-leaning independents to go to the polls as would a Clinton nomination.

Tom Loheide the economics wizard — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:40:22 GMT

Hillary is relying on Penn's advice about deciding if it makes sense to agree to terms for Bilateral free trade with Colombia. So, essentially, Penn is locking in a pay day from Bursen Marsteller for swaying Hillary to agree to a bi-lateral agreement with Columbia. If I understand correctly a bi-lateral free trade agreement is when countries agree on favorable terms of trade. For example, if you trade with us we will lower tarriffs for you. Explain to me why Hillary is against the bi-lateral agreement in this case? In an economical sense, anything aiding in the occurrence of trade is in the best interest of both parties. Economics 101 teaches you that trade can improve both parties. Trading is not a zero sum game because if country A can produce widgets cheaper and more efficiently than country b then why would country b try to produce widgets? Here is a real world example. Country C(Columbia) could produce a product like cocaine and then trade with country A(America) for its widgets. So, Columbia trades cocaine for our widgets and we both benefit because, in the end, it costs each of us less to get what we need. Some other benefits include the following: America benefits - We kill of all the cocaine sniffing morons in our country who drain our tax dollars (although some will argue this is wall streets coffee). Columbia benefits from widgets and I will leave it to you to figure out how. Widgets can probably get you high somehow. But back to the question, Why is Hillary opposed to the bilateral agreement with Columbia? - Do they really have nothing useful for us? Bush would say something like this and I believe he gets it right; " Trade is good for all involved. I promote free trade and will never deter trading with Columbia and trading with Columbia would benefit all of us so why would I be against something like that."
