Reverting to the positive strategy of building up Hillary R. Clinton's qualifications, notably her edge over Barack H. Obama in experience. Hillary R. Clinton influenced foreign policy, even if it did not play a pivotal role according to media etc.., she delivered her message. What is it they say; a woman always has her family’s best interest at heart. Well do you not think the women Hillary R. Clinton addressed also had their countries best interest at heart, and conveyed that to their husbands leaders of the foreign countries Hillary R. Clinton visited. Ladies how many times have you been the deciding factor in your family or business decisions? Susan Rice, a former assistant secretary of state from the Clinton years and a Barack H.Obama campaign adviser; said Hillary R. Clinton's involvement with foreign policy as first lady was "laudable and important, but it is hardly the same thing as the kind of crisis management" that is required of a president. "There is no crisis to be dealt with or managed when you are first lady," Rice said. Well Hillary R. Clinton was not President then! It is however, the office, which she intends to run, and this statement by Ms. Susan Rice bodes well for Hillary R. Clinton. Clinton has superior domestic policies, a vast network of high-ranking military and political supporters and contacts across the country, and the world; political experience in contesting seven elections at her husband's side in Arkansas and across the U.S. before her own two victories for the U.S. Senate – a first for a presidential spouse in the history of this Great Nation the U S of A. Most important, why has Barack H. Obama won in the G.O.P.'s most crucial strongholds? Is it because during the General Election the Republicans, who have voted for Barack H. Obama, will be voting for John McCain. Thereby, duping the Democratic Party into thinking Barack H. Obama had a chance. Republicans will dominate the presidential contest and win the Presidency. Barack H. Obama has to face up to not having won any big-state contests save his home state of Illinois. And of failing three times to "close the deal" – in New Hampshire; on Super Tuesday, when almost two dozen states and territories voted; and in Ohio, Rhode Island & Texas showdown. The wins in the states where caucuses rule are by a small margin. In the GOP states Hillary R. Clinton did not win, she still polled well enough to beat John McCain in the General Election. Think about it. The following is a site to bills sponsored 2007-2008 by Hillary R. Clinton. I am sure if you do more research you will find Hillary R. Clinton has always been at work for the people. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?tab=bills&id=300022Look under “Bill Sponsorship” there are more than what is being published by the media etc... In addition, this was just for 2007. http://clinton.senate.gov/ http://clinton.senate.gov/issues/nationalsecurity/darfur/ Look under issues and review your choice. To see where Hillary R. Clinton stands; on many issues that truly affect us all. "Tune in and stay informed, above all America Wake Up"

Obama's changing Iraq war stance.. It's a revolving dor thing that changes from day to day to suit the event..

The following is a statement startling in its implications, and gives us insight into Barack Obama's reliability. In 2004, according to the Boston Globe, he stated:


...that the United States had an "absolute obligation " to remain in Iraq long enough to make it a success. He stated that failure of the Iraqi state would be a disaster and would be a betrayal of the promise that we made to the Iraqi people, and it would be hugely destabilizing from a national security perspective.


That was a commitment to the Iraqi people -- an "absolute" promise that we would hold paramount our obligation to provide them security, to protect them from the ravages that would flow from a failed state. Yet a mere three years later he was ready to throw them to the wolves, genocide be damned.


This willingness of Senator Obama to turn his back on something he proclaimed an "absolute obligation" should be particular concern to the millions of supporters of Israel in America. When campaigning, Senator Obama has made similar promises regarding the safety and security of Israel? How long will those promises last? Until January, 2009?

Splash9:55PMMar 17th 2008

Hillary's experience with foreign policy is limited to the votes she made in the senate, being first lady nets her nothing. Her bottom line responsibilities were to redecorate the West Wing and entertain the wives of foreign dignitaries.

Bill gave her one job - national health care - and if you remember that domestic fiasco you would have absolutely no faith in her ability to take her "experience" abroad.

Had she divorced Bill after he didn't have sex with that woman then I would have conceded that she had the kahunas to be president. Divorce a siting president? Make a statement that the leaders of nations cannot act like hormonic maniacs? Now there is some foreign policy experience you can build a campaign around.

Obama may have no experience, but Hillary has poor experience. Once again, Republicans trump dems in the area of foreign policy and national defense. If these issues are important to you - and they should be - then you have no choice this November, do you?

HOW DUMB ARE YOU SPLASH? DID YOU EVEN DO YOUR RESEARCH . ARE YOU ARE AWARE THAT OBAMA HAS A ZERO RECORD IN HIS SHORT TIME IN CONGRESS ? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY COMMITEES HILLARY IS ON AND HAS BEEN ON FOR EIGHT YEARS? DO YOU KNOW OF HER GREAT RECORD? READ BEFORE YOU BLOG.

Splash10:24PMMar 17th 2008

Yeah. If you want to screw something up, form a committee. If you want to be the screw, be on the committee. She is still limited to her Senate experience which is primarily votes, many times on things she, admittedly did not read. Maybe I am stupid; I did vote for Bill once.

Did you do your homework? No one has a zero record in congress. It may be a record you don't like, but most (if not all) Senators, even Junior Senators, vote on a lot of issues. And Obama does sit on one committee. The only difference I see between the two is that Obama has never been First Lady and is not overstating his level of experience.

Not a big Obama fan, but have never been fond of those who exaggerate reality, especially when it comes to their credentials.

I'm surprised you didn't call me a sexist. It was with those comments that I was attempting to flush you out. Just the same; you are here.

TJ10:25PMMar 17th 2008

SIMBAD? THIS FOOL IS STILL AROUND?
ANOTHER OBAMAMANIAC HALFRICAN.
I THOUGHT HE MOVED TO TIMBUCTU WITH JEREMIAH WRIGHT AND FARAKAN TO FORM A "NATION" WITH OBAMA ???
YOU DONT HAVE TO SWEAR AT SIMBAD, JUST CALL HIM A COMEDIAN-

TJ10:30PMMar 17th 2008

THE VERY PRESENCE OF AMERICA'S FIRST LADY WOULD INSPIRE ANYONE TO ACTION.
ITS LIKE SAYING THAT THE QUEEN'S PRESENCE AT THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IS WORTHLESS BECAUSE SHE HARDLY SAID ANYTHING. ALL HILLARY HAS TO DO ANYYWHERE IN THE WORLD IS SHOW UP AS AN AMERICAN FIRST LADY OR AS A SENATOR AND PEOPLE WOULD FIND ANSWERS THAT WERENT THERE.
THANKS, HILLARY, DO NOT RESPOND TO A COMEDIAN-

Zo10:30PMMar 17th 2008

forkuu
Although I agree with you that Hillary did sit on commitees as a Senator, I do agree with Splash that the experience that Hillary is claiming as first lady of Arkansas and the U.S. is bogus. She was not elected to be first lady. The ballot did not say Bill and Hillary for president. She was not sitting in on any top secret foreign policy meetings. That claim to experience is false. She can however claim her senate experience.

Splash10:37PMMar 17th 2008

It's too late, TJ, she already did respond (more like react) to Sinbad. Andforkuu says that I am stupid. Thanks, Zo. Senate experience. Period.

Zo10:37PMMar 17th 2008

tj
Hillary presence would not inspire me to do anything but lie cheat and steal like Bill and her have been doing for years.

Splash10:39PMMar 17th 2008

Zo -- I am liking you more and more. How does being first lady carry any weight in the arena of foreign diplomacy?

Edith10:41PMMar 17th 2008

Yes indeed, Hillary showed just how well and experienced she is when she hid in the cockpit and ran to her chauferred car...All her trips abroad were a waste of the taxpayers money...I just hope chelsea enjoyed them since she has such a de-meaning pair as parents...How can any woman vote for her...If she weren't so power hungry, she would have given Bill his divorce when he wanted it,and made life a little more pleasant for her daughters teen years...Imust first respect her (Hillary) as a woman before I can offer her respect as a senator or maybe a president.
I have no respect for her as a woman...She is a fool when she stays with a man because she knows he really loves her.....While he is enjoying his cigars. cuban I suspect.

nancy Ellis10:52PMMar 17th 2008

Any one that wants 4 more years of deficit spending, high unemployment, the continued outsourcing of American jobs, continued war in the middle east, shrinking american dollar. Vote for McCain. Guaranteed to continue the Bush Legacy.

Joe Smith11:13PMMar 17th 2008

I do admire Hillary Clinton for one thing and one thing only. That is, honoring her marriage vows to Billy. Remember Billy ? Yea the Prez who lied to everyone in the world on American national television. Yea the same guy that cheated on his wife and daughter by committing adultery. The same guy who actually did nothing positive on his own during his tenure in office. That's right nothing positive, This guy was in the right place at the right time. Everything was already put into motion by Ronald Reagan and all Billy did was take credit for it. WAKE UP DO YOU REALLY WANT ANOTHER CLINTON IN OFFICE????
AMERICA DESERVES BETTER THAN TO HAVE ANOTHER LYING CROOK AS PRESIDENT. Hillary will be nothing more than Billy's little wooden puppet Hey we can call her Clintocco..... Come on WAKE UP !!!!!!

monty11:43PMMar 17th 2008

I couldn't vote for her because of Bill. Nuff said, sorry.

William Bergiadis11:56PMMar 17th 2008

Hillary Clibton has NO respect or consideration for those that are unlucky enough to come in contact withher as sunordinates. She swore at her security guard when they were still in Arkansas and continued to do the same as First Wife.(By no stretch of imagnination can she be called a 'lady'). She is a power hungry egomaniac and will do whatever she has to to win. Her husband lied to the American people when he stated, under oath, "I never had sex with that women". Later he admitted he lied but that was after the democratic party prevented a impeachement vote.
Hillary has spent her married life ruining the women that her husband suduced while he was in the Govenors office and as the President of the United States. Bill Clinton disgraced the office of President of the United States but Hillary will make him look like a piker if she is elected.
There is not one politician in the present congress that has the slightest idea of how to settle the Iraq problem, resolve the economic problem, provide a workable health plan, resolve the human rights problem and the Chinese problem. They are interested only in getting re-elected without regard to the consequnces of their lack of integrity.
If every person that ran for a political office HAD TO RESIGN from their present political office there would be very few Representitives reunning for the Senate and practically no Senators running for President. Senator Lieberman is a prime example of this fiasco. He ran for Vice-President but did not reign his Senate Seat! Could it be he knew the Democratic Party was going to lose.
We have got to eliminate the Professional Politician. Remember these are the same people that take your tax money and spend it on 'Fact Finding' trips to exotic and foreign places. Hillary Clinton makes these inapt parasites look like sunday school children!

jwong11:59PMMar 17th 2008

I couldn't vote for Obama because he thinks he can stop jobs from outsourcing. Nuff said.

Concerned Citizen12:10AMMar 18th 2008

Hillary has based a good part of her campaign on her claims of experience and her reputation as a "fighter". But have you seen this ad showing her authorizing the Iraq War? It’s pretty powerful stuff:

AMERICA VOTES FOR PEOPLE based on what they say they are without really checking them out...
