Hillary Clinton Strikes Back at Sinbad
Sinbad in response to the funnyman's refutation of her foreign policy credentials. Reports Politico:Hillary responded to Sinbad's recollection of their trip together to Bosnia, which Hillary has portrayed as perilous, and at which Sinbad said the most difficult choice was where to get lunch.There is no truth to reports that Clinton went on to say that, while Sinbad could write and deliver funny material, it took Ed McMahon to make him a star.
"He's a comedian, you know," she said, recalling thatshe was moved into the cockpit for safety, that the plane made an evasive maneuver, and that there was no greeting ceremony.
"We basically were told to run to our cars," she said.
Yakov Smirnoff, meanwhile, has yet to weigh in on what role, if any, Senator Clinton might have played in the breakup of the former Soviet Union.
What is Hillary Clinton doing in a smackdown with Sinbad? What's the best case scenario here, you make Sinbad look foolish? This one should've been handled by a spokesman last week. Like Al Gore's invention of the internet, I'm sure she's sorry she even brought it up.
But think about this for a moment: Hillary, Sinbad, Sheryl Crow, and Chelsea were probably in more danger, with less security, on that trip than our current "War President" is on any of his cups of coffee in Iraq. Maybe that "Commander in Chief" threshold isn't such a igh bar to meet.

Just as a life long rep. I had made up my mind and thought I would vote for clinton, however after watching her stand by while obama says and does as he wants and clinton not going on the attack, I wonder if I want her to answer the phone call at 3:00am. If she will not stand up for herself, will she stand up for America when the time comes? Even though I have I have told everyone I would not vote for him, Mccain is looking better all the time!

I don't trust Obama for a second, much less for four years of "Our Lives". You can't see the part in his hair caused by every thing that flies over it and his flip flopping. Can anyone be so "taken" by him that they can't really look under all the crap and see who he really is? Has race been a problem? Vote for Obama and see what racism really is. Just look at his previous ties with Al Sharpton, Lewis Farrakhan and his recent need to "denounce" his own Preacher of 20 years. He's a flook and a fake and frankly he scares me to death. I'll give Hillary my vote. At least we do know her and her abilities and she is no cockroach that just climbed out of the wall and suddenly apprears as our "Golden Boy" with a new vision. Really......look into him and see what his new vision is to the "American" people.
Taylor7:39AMMar 18th 2008
Hillary Clinton is as bogus as they come packaged! There is no "experience" and like Gore, she lives in a dream world, all her own. She fogets this country is run with cabinet members...far from what she promises. You see people, she wants a dictatorship, not a Presidential position. Like Hussin, we will find her in a spider-hole hiding out from America with the stash she stole from the Whitehouse. LOL, she's a joke!
Taylor7:49AMMar 18th 2008
Can anyone tell me how the "illegal" immigrants are being allowed to vote in America? How is this possible? For those of you that have voted, did you notice push 1 for English, 2 for Spanish and 3 for Vietnamese? If these people have achieved citizenship, then where are the skill requirements to speak and read English? I'm not being prejudice, just curious to know what happened here? We cannot vote in foreign countries, so why is this happening? If they are here illegally, how does that happen? What is the definition of "illegal immigrants"?
Taylor7:59AMMar 18th 2008
Channel: I don't know if their sexual endeavors qualified either of the Clintons to run our country, however, it sure kept them preoccupied with matters other than protecting this country! As far as Obama, I think he's been one of the most qualified for the democratic party all along. I don't see his color...only his intelligence and passion. I'm white and republican, and I don't feel the race card is being dealt on this election. HC would like to think so.
JBates05498:40AMMar 18th 2008
It really tees me off for people to compare Obama with JFK. JFK was a man not a racist liar.
Bill Jacobs9:46AMMar 18th 2008
Hillary is - she really is a monster. Everybody RUN...RUN for your lives!!!
mccreyjulie10:35AMMar 18th 2008
I am not surprised at the hate that is being sent out over the internet. I am ashamed of you people, how dare we indict a person because of the speech of another. Everyone has been betrayed by someone in their life. Hillary and this Country were betrayed by President Clinton and we forgave him. Jeremiah Wright does not speak for Barack Obama, Barack Obama speaks for himself.
The real problem is that many of you hide your own racism with the American Flag. Maggie Gyllenhall the actress said the very thing that Jeremiah Wright said about Chickens coming home to roast but, she still has a movie career. Why? Because the standards of Americanism and Patriotism are set by racist people who try to determine and decide who is more American and who is not! As for Barack Obama being a Muslim he is not! However, religion has no place in our Constitution and no should have to explain their religion in this country yet, they do! Why because some people need a reality check. If, politicals did not place a fundamental importance on what Black Preachers thought then they would not have them to kick why they start saying things that are contrary to what their King Makers want them to.
I do not listen to stupid comments by Preachers, Teachers, Doctors, Lawyers, or Politicians because I have a mind of my own. I was raised as a Roman Catholic, I was raised by parents who both a of mixed race and guess what? They taught me that to love Jesus and accept him I must also love Jews, they told me that Jesus was a Jew not a Catholic and that my religion can only be sustained by my faith and that the two sometimes are in conflict. You see, as a child the Roman Catholic Church had not fully recognized Israel and my parents told me that the Church was complicit for not standing against the Holocaust that they new was happening and did not protect the Jewish people from the Nazi's and Facists and that he was ashamed of his church for that. He was never ashamed of GOD, he never rejected Jesus, however, until Pope John Paul, he did not return to church. My father did not lose faith in Jesus he did lose faith in his church's ability to get it right, it took that good decent man to turn around the political and social position of the Roman Catholic Church and his maverick ideas and his undying support of Israel as well as his apology for the behavior of the Roman Catholic Church changed the minds of many about the Church.
It will take a John Paul to change the opinions of people about the evil words of Jeremiah Wright, but it will also take some common sense from American's to stop blaming ball players for bad sideline behavior of the coach. Why can't American's stop invalidating each other. Embrace each other as American's because let's face it, when we fight for this country we fight together, when we starve and lose our homes we do it together, yet in all truth we do not believe in GOD together. We should but we don't, if you can trust me in a fox hole to protect you, trust me to protect the country from the White House, America it is our time to stop the racism, do not mess up this country with this nonsense.
Stop with the Jim Crow tests of who is worthy or not, Americans are dying in foreign lands and we must honor them with our worthiness of their sacrifice, you cannot honor them with hate speak and hate in your heart. They are fighting for all of us, not just some of us. What is wrong with all of you, have you forgotten, that all races of Americans have died for the liberty we take for granted.
Leave religion out of this racist argument. If, faith truly guided some of you then you would not say the things you are saying now. Admit, your racism and address it with your faith and GOD will lead you to an understanding. Race is not a card game. It is a hate game and it has no place in our civilized society, it is empty and it has not soul. WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF EVIDENT THAT ALL MEN/WOMEN ARE CREATED EQUAL AND ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATORS... REMEMBER THOSE GREAT WORDS, THEY WERE MORE THAN WORDS THEY WERE THE BLOOD THE RACED THROUGH THE VEINS OF LIBERTY, THOSE WORDS GUIDED A SMALL MINORITY TO A MAJOR VICTORY AGAINST TYRANNY. AMERICA IS AMERICA BECAUSE WE STOOD TOGETHER AGAINST A KING WHO HAD MORE MONEY, BIGGER ARMY AND MORE GUNS. WHAT THAT KING DID NOT HAVE WITH HIM WAS THE FAITH THAT GOD WAS AT HELM OF THE BATTLEFIELD, BECAUSE THAT KING HAD TAKEN THE LIBERTY, FREEDOM AND DIGNITY OF A NATION AND THE PEOPLE OF THAT NATION WOULD NOT STAND FOR IT, THEY WERE WILLING TO DIE FOR IT.
STOP THE HATE! WE ARE NOT PERFECT BUT, WE CAN CORRECT OURSELVES WHEN WE GET IT WRONG, CORRECT OURSELVES NOW! IF YOUR HEART DOES GUIDE YOU TO VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA BECAUSE HE IS BLACK ADMIT IT AND MOVE ON. THAT IS SOMETHING ONLY YOU CAN COME TO GRIPS WITH. YOU KNOW WHAT IS IN YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS AND SOMETIMES IT IS NOT GOODNESS, CORRECT YOURSELVES WITH THE FAITH YOU PROFESS AND STAND AS UNITED STATES AMERICAN CITIZENS. EQUALITY CAN ONLY TRULY BE ACHIEVED IF WE ADMIT THAT WE HAVE MORE WAYS TO GO, BUT GO WE MUST AND WE MUST DO IT TOGETHER.

You know what is so bad, the people today are so torn on words instead of actions. Hillary had her chance to prove to us americans what she is capable of doing, and still nothing. She seems to go with the flow, we don't need anyone that can't make up their minds for what they stand for. If McCain wins, that just means that bush never left the chair. I am a young black female, and like someone said in their comment above, it has nothing to do about race, it's played out. I was voting for Hillary at first but then she couldn't make up her mind about whether she was for the war or against it. Honestly speaking since the campaigning has began I never once seen or heard Obama change his story about anything that he was for or against. Don't you think that is what we need today, someone who knows what they want for our country and doesn't switch up everytime they need a vote. McCain is not for the people that is struggling, he is for the rich. We need to end homelessness and the war. We have been fighting for so long I forgot what we was fighting for. I family members are being killed for what, not to serve and protect our country because if that was the case then we would be going after bin laden not innocent people. We still are being threaten if you haven't notice, just look at the bomb that took place in Time Square. I live in New York City, how are we fighting a war but still able to get bombed. These are the real questions you need to ask yourselves when choosing our next president. Who is going to help us, not destroy us!!! It has nothing to do about race, we are in the 20th Century, put that behind us, maybe close your eyes the next time you are listening to one of them speak and hear what they are saying instead of looking at what color or gender they are.

WHY Obama is NOT like JFK....
1. JFK was a Christian, whereas Obama is not.
Obama is Muslim come
black racist pretend Christian.
2. JFK was a Patriotic American and served in the
armed forces in
WWII; whereas Obama did not serve in the
military. Instead, Obama
wanted to protect the enemy, the muslim
terrorists speaking out
against American retaliation after 911. Obama has
strong ties to
anti-Americans.
3. JFK honored the American flag, the USA
Constitution, and all it
stands for;
Whereas Obama and his wife despises it.
4. JFK had a great vision for Ameria, spoke from
the heart, and made
America prosper; whereas
Obama plagerises his speaches, could not define
the "changes" he
speaks of, and doesnt know what he is doing...
Obama voted AGAINST
his own bills in Congress!!
5. JFK united America in the face of adversity
and foreign threat,
whereas Obama rubs shoulders with Americas
enemies and those who
befriend terrorists.
6. JFK stood for ALL AMERICANS to prosper under
the Constitution,
Obama stands for Black Only and has non
negotiable commitment to
Africa.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, OBAMA IS NO JFK.
he doesnt deserve to sit in the shadow of JFK.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND
VOTE HILLARY, OUR BEST CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT.
oyeah10:18PMMar 18th 2008
Ya'all are scary...politicians is politicians, plain and simple. I'm thinkin', though, if ya wanna send a message, you'll call the bluff of the standing machinery and vote Obama as the machinery has run him has their token, and most folks will vote McBush if Mrs. Bill gets the Democratic vote. Ya see folks, it's the Congress that calls the shots, taxes, authorizing wars, etc. The president is nothing more than a figurehead. Do you really think George is in charge? Come on...
Julie11:21PMMar 18th 2008
The argument of experience is the wrong argument, because the economy in this country is headed directly into a depression. Either candidate is better than McCain, stop shooting ourselves in the foot, the person who will get the nomination will need a United Democratic Party. Whether or not Hillary Clinton influenced foreign policy as First Lady is important to note and respect, the fact that Senator Obama has foresight and was against the war from the beginning is good too. Both candidates have talents far greater than any Republican, why are we infighting, there is a very fine line of policy dispute between the two of these people and in the end, they are going to need each other to win this election, not for themselves but for America. Let's remember that this election is about America and its future, if we cannot remember to Unite As One Party we will fall as a broken one. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both have the potential to be a great President, over 13 million people who have already voted for them can attest to that. What is the problem? Who is going to get there first? Regardless of who takes that oath it is a moral and righteous victory for all! Race and Sex are not the basis of what America is about, let's remember that those men and women dying everyday in the desert are not there for a race, creed, color or sex they are there because America sent them there and we owe it to them to act with dignity and respect for one another as American's lets face it if Americans of all races, creeds and colors do not stand together to speak truth to power and take back our democratic legacy from the special interest and wealthy then America will not exist anymore we will become a lost society and broken civilization. Stop with the Abbott and Costello "whose on first" and win this election together, debate don't hate, discuss don't bagger, converse with dignity an honor, because your behavior as a candidate reflects upon your skills as a future president. You both are winners, who ever the people choose let's all remember that we are the United States of America and all states small and large count every vote counts and everyone counts. Let's turn the economy around, let's bring our children home and let's have a home for them to come to. Everyone is to blame for this climate of hate, that's what it is ? No one is innocent, Clinton and Obama can change this climate by behaving better and more Presidential! Both need a reality check. Neither one of them have all experience needed to be President, Presidents do not have experience, they learn from having top advisers and keen insight. Clinton was a good President but, he had no foreign policy experience, he was not required to pass any test. He did a good job, not a great job but a very good one. He had a lot of issues that interfered with his Presidency, yet he managed to balance a budget and create a surplus. He learned on the job so, can Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, they do not need to pass any tests of Commander and Chief, anyway they are only Commander in Chief during a time of war, so, who really comes to job Commander in Chief ready, for that matter John McCain is the only one with military experience however, tragic the hero he is, he is no strategic expert either. The economy of this nation is suffering and Americans are suffering both here and on foreign land and we owe it to them to get this right! Stop the infighting, grandstanding and the rhetoric, you are both enormous talents and the only to win is to get the votes, if people do not vote for you, then you will loose, if they do you will win, do not negate the size of the state, do not negate the value of the vote, if someone votes for you they want you if they don't then that's their right! Win fairly and by the hand of the electorate, do not allow your egos to supercede your common sense, voting is a personal choice and it is right and privilege, if you do not win the nomination because you have received the votes of the people to get there it is not because you lack talent or skill. It is simply because they voted for the other person. We cannot force the vote, we can try to convince someone that we are better for the job, but not at the expense of the Democratic Party. The survival of our party depends on the behavior of these two people. Remember, King Solomon and the two mothers and the one child. Someone will have to chose to back down with dignity for the sake of our Democratic Party and our Great Country. The greatest leaders have always been willing to listen to the people and follow their lead.
Democrats unite and follow the lead of our voters and do it with Honor!

We do not need Hilary or the Media's now attention to the Call Girls, which Bills affair with Monica so enlightened us. Even a nite late special tonight on the "working girls" call girls, prostitutes --any name the way you want to use it. That is not LEADER MATERIAL--IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. IT IS DEGRADING TO OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM--NOT SMART OR TRENDIE--THE AMERICAN HOUSE WIFE WILL NOT TOLERATE IT NOR THE DECENT WORKING GIRLS, HAVING THEIR WORK COMPARED TO THAT OF A PROSTITUTE --GET WITH IT- CLOSE HILARY'S FOUL MOUTH SHE IS CAUSING SPLIT IN DEMOCRATE PARTY--WE DON'T NEED IT-- IF MC CAINS WINS, WE ARE OUT IN THE STREET --ALL EQUAL, WHILE HE MEALY MOUTHS AROUND THE WORLD, AND CHINA MARCHES IN THE BACK DOOR TAKING OVER THE LOANS WE CANNOT PAY HER. LOANS THAT BUSH MADE WITH OUR TAX PAYERS FOOTING IT.

If the white people in our country cannot now see Obama as a RACIST...they never will comeout of their coma???He hires Sharpton to work for him, Rev. Wright worked for him, he spoke on behalf of Wright until it hurt his campaign...wright was a long time friend for 20 yrs. and obama claims he never heard such sermons, when Farrakhan was given an award by Obama's Church...Obama spoke for him also..DAH!!!!wake up folks. Now Obama is going to Philadelphia to talk about race???does he think those people just because many are black are stupid like Obama is and won't see that he's a racist...Pa. is a lot smarter.
