All I know is when there is a President named Clinton in the office , I have money in my pocket , and when the President is named anything else I dont.

Amen to that! Most of these young college kids who are going for Obama didn't have to support a family in the 80's!!
The 80's? When Reagan was in office I had more money in my pocket than any time.
In a 2002 speech to the Democratic Leadership Council, Senator Clinton said:
"We all know the record of the DLC, the Progressive Policy Institute and, of course, the Clinton-Gore Administration. The economic recovery plan stands first and foremost as a testament to both good ideas and political courage. National service. The Brady Bill. Family Leave. NAFTA. Investment in science and technology. New markets. Charter schools. The Earned Income Tax Credit. The welfare to work partnership. The COPS program. The SAFER program. All of these came out of some very fundamental ideas about what would work.
"The results speak for themselves. Those ideas were converted into policies programs that literally changed millions of lives and, I argue, changed America."
This sounds like an affirmation of NAFTA to me.

Just to let you all of you that say that NAFTA has being nothing but, bad business for the USA; IF you were smart enough to follow international news, NAFTA destroyed the agriculture sector in Mexico guess where does the land of the corn now gets most of its corn? for human consumption and livestock; the good 'ol USA as for the manufacturing "jobs" Mexico was used as a trampoline towards china most of the "Maquilas" are gone and the ones that made most of the money were investors from the USA and around the world. Just ask the tenants along the Wall St.
We Latinos do not forget what the Clintons have done for us!, sorry I can't say the same for the few blacks that I have talk to about Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton; now that a African-American is running for the highest office they now don't remember what the Clinton's have done for them!. We gratefully will vote for Hillary even if one of our own was running; remember Richardson?.
Do you mind listing what Hillary has done for the black and Latinos?
Bill Clinton was the first president to have two Latino Cabinet members serve simultaneously. Moreover, during the Clinton years, rising economic tides lifted Latino boats along with many others. Just to name one as for Hillary if you have followed politics on Sheila Jackson Lee one of her strong supporters on Black issues has being guess who over Mr Obama?, Hillary Clinton of all people
Marty63: just because a president appoints 2 latino members to his cabinet that does not say what the president did for the latino population. if that's the case, both (bush) appointed blacks clarence thomas & condi rice, but i don't think that the katrina victims would say that bush helped them during the diaster and even now 2 years later, so just because someone is of the same culture as you it does not mean they are for you.
Can you comment on the rest of my post?, or is that ALL that you can see?, you are missing something here?. As for the culture I really doubt that Mrs Clinton listen to Mariachi songs on her way to work, you probably meant Race.
YOU GO MARTY63!!!
The Obama campaign should send a mailer about NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, which is a disaster in TX. She voted for it and said she knew it would never work.

I guess no one is intelligent enough to understand the fact it isn't just the fact that obama LIES it is the fact his mailer for healthcare is the exact same advertisement used in the 90s that defeated Universal Healthcare.

I use to have faith that the American populace could sift through BS over the last 8 years I was definately wrong there is a large population that shows Americans are STUPID!
GO HILLARY, KICK OBAMA'S FAKE BUTT!!
Hillarys support of NAFTA is what finish her.You can't put lipstick on NAFTA and sell it to workers who lost their jobs.NAFTA work great for oversea countries,make it cheap and sell it high to u s citizen.Democrats alway supported labor.Hillary compromise her self to much ,to get money for her campaign.Drop out if your a real democrat.
Oh yeah
Read this article and tell me what it says about Obama?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080225/pl_nm/usa_politics_obama_trade_dc
You need to go climb under a rock because I think thats where you came from. So are you a stauch democrat? NAFTA or any trade agreement is not a bad thing. Its present written form is whats wrong with it. We need fair trade agreements. Unfortunately NAFTA has not been amended. It needs to be amended. Obama will be busy fixing the country that NAFTA will contiunously stay in its present form. And we the Americans will still have to wait for the agreement to be amended. Besides NAFTA is only in North America. There is another agreement overseas.
FREE TRADE DOES NOT MEAN NAFTA. THE LAST A IN NAFTA MEANS AGREEMENT. IT IS THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENTS THAT ARE NOT FAIR. HE SAID I SUPPORT FREE TRADE THAT IS FAIR TO THE AMERICAN WORKERS. WE SHOULD HAVE FREE TRADE, WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS REVISIT THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT. THAT IS WHAT BOTH CLINTON AND OBAMA WANT. THE ONLY THING HERE IS THAT SHE IS SAYING SHE NEVER SUPPORTED IT. NOBODY IS PERFECT, OBAMA, SHOULD HE BE PRESIDENT WILL HAVE FAILURES. ITS ABOUT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAILURES WHICH SHE DOES NOT WANT TO DO WITH HER IRAQ VOTE AND DOES NOT WANT TO DO WITH NAFTA
Even if she privately (which we cannot verify other than taking the biographer on his words) opposed NAFTA she is running on 8 years spent in the white house. Im sorry you cannot pick and chose what policies you will be called upon or not. Her entire campaign is based on experience, most notably as a first lady, which of course is a farce. She needs to answer and take responsibility for NAFTA!
I am happy you are beating NAFTA down her throat--perhaps you would like to read what Obama says about free trade EVEN THOUGH he SIMULTANEOUSLY criticize Clinton for it!! OBAMA IS A PHONY!

THERE ARE MANY COMPETENT WOMEN WHO CAN AND SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN THE FUTURE. WOMAN WHO ARE WHERE THEY ARE ON THEIR OWN MERIT. NOBODY KNOWS WHO THEIR HUSBANDS ARE: CLAIRE McCaskill, Sebelius, NAPOLITANO, PELOSI,FEINSTEIN, ...WHY DO WE HAVE TO GO WITH THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL OF ALL. THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN RIDING ON HER HUSBAND BACK HER ENTIRE LIFE. THIS SHOW TO OUR YOUNG GIRLS THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN GET IT DONE IS TO PLAY SECOND ROLE TO A MAN FOR 35 YEARS, FIRST. THAT IS THE KIND OF EXPERIENCE SHE BRINGS TO THE TABLE! NO THANK YOU!
Hillary Clinton is not trustworthy and bad for the US. Barack Obama is integer and good for the world.
Barack Obama???s dream is???Bring about real change, change that we believe in. His passion for change is the pillar of his Personal Brand. Parts of his speeches: ???America is a land of big dreamers and big hopes. It is this hope that has sustained us through revolution and civil war, depression and world war, a struggle for civil and social rights and the brink of nuclear crisis. And it is because our dreamers dreamed that we have emerged from each challenge more united, more prosperous, and more admired than before??????.The true test of the American ideal is whether we???re able to recognize our failings and then rise together to meet the challenges of our time. Whether we allow ourselves to be shaped by events and history, or whether we act to shape them. Whether chance of birth or circumstance decides life???s big winners and losers, or whether we build a community where, at the very least, everyone has a chance to work hard, get ahead, and reach their dreams???.Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we???ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek???. I don???t want to settle for anything less than real change, fundamental change - change we need - change that we can believe in. It???s change that I???ve been fighting for over two decades ago. Because those dreams - American dreams - are worth fighting for???.
Like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, and Mikhail Gorbachev, Barack Obama is a man of peace and love who is fighting against oppression and political corruption. ......>>read further at http://rampersad.wordpress.com/2008/02/23/46/
What have you been waiting for? Even another article I read by the press suggest all the candidates are dillusional. No one is going to be able to fix what is broken in four years. I have been fighting the American dreams for a long time. I have resolved that I am responsible for my own happiness and success. Barack Obama is a man of peace and love against oppression and political corruption.? I think he's just playing politics just like everyone else. Too categorize him with people like Ghandi especially, Ghandi was a peaceful man Obama has turned into a great big political bully.
This just goes to show that Mr. Obama is just another dirty politician. Every time Hillary points out his dirty deeds, the MSM portrays her as a desperate female while they portray him as a calm man. He is being very manipulative.
I am an African born Republican who is outraged at how the media is letting him get away with this foolishness. I will vote for Hillary in the Ohio primaries and I urge my fellow Ohioans to do the same to give us more time to get to know this Mr. Obama.
Amen to that!! If Obama gets the nomination, the Democrats won't have a chance. Why do you think the Media has given him a free ride,........ they want him to win and why do you think this is so?!
Because the media need fresh meat to scrutinize and tear apart. They can't tear apart Hillary. Her life is an open book. The stories have no substance. They don't have the shock syndrome.
ONE OF THE STRONGEST STRATEGIES HILLARy CAN IMpLEMET IS ATTACKING THE UNITy factor which is the driving force behind the OBAMA WAVE. WHAT HAppENS IF THERE IS A REpUBLICAN BACK LASH AFTER A NASTy presdential BATTLE. THEN WHAT? WHO WOULD BE THE most effective pRESIDENT in that scenario.
CAN MINORITIES AFFORD TO TAKE THE OBAMA RISK. WE KNOW UNDER THE CLINTON'S MINORITIES WILL pROSpER as they did in the ninety 's. THOSE WERE THE BEST OF TIMES FOR ALL AMERICANS.
LATINO'S ARE Loyal VOTERS. THEy WILL SAVE HILLARy . THERE IS GOING TO BE AN uproar because of the power and influence of the LATINO VOTE. THERE IS NO DOUBT HILLARy WILL WIN TEXAS AND OHIO.
WHEN I THINK OF HILLARy I THINK OF My MOTHER. ROCK SOLID on my side no matter what. SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT IS "GOING ON" AND ALWAyS HAS My BEST INTEREST AT HEART. I IDOLIZE MICHAEL JORDON. HOWEVER I WOULD VOTE FOR My MOM OVER MICHAELJORDON. WHy I KNOW HER. MOST AMERICANS WOULD CHOOSE THEIR MOM OVER JORDON FOR president.

WHAT HAS OBAMA DONE IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS to CREATE THIS WAVE.
SIX MONTHS AGO HILLARy WAS IN CHARGE..
SA y LESS DO MORE. GO DOOR TO DOOR. IT IS VERy EFFECTIVE.
HOW HILLARY CAN WIN AND DEFEAT THE GREAT UNITER. IT IS EASY.
"HILLARY, defeating BARAK OBAMA SHOULD HAVE BEEN EASY. UNFORTUNATELY YOU WERE TAKING TOO MUCH ADVISE FROM THOSE IGNORANT RACIST CONSULTANTS OF YOURS.
THE FIRST THING YOU MUST DO IS TRUST YOUR GUT AND DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE for the Present MOMENT. TAKE YOUR OWN ADVISE. SOMETIMES A PRESIDENT MUST CEASE THE MOMENT AND TRUST THEMSELVES. YOUR TIME IS NOW.
COMMUNICATION- You HAVE TO MAKE THE AMERICAN voter feel your message.
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL YOUR OWN MESSAGE. CAN You MAKE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FEEL THAT SAME PASSION FOR YOUR MESSAGE.
YOU HAVE TO RIDE THE OBAMA WAVE AND MAKE IT YOUR OWN. DO NOT FIGHT IT EMBRACE IT AND THEN ENGLULF IT.
CONNECTION WITH THE VOTERS is what You are LACKING. GET PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT THE CLINTON MESSAGE. WE HAD THE BEST OF TIMES IN THE NINETYS.
TECHNICALLY ATTACK OBAMA ON THE ISSUES. RALPH NADER KNOWS HOW TO ATTACK OBAMA ON THE ISSUES. HE DOES IT SO EFFECTIVELY AND ACCURATELY WITHOUT GETTING MAD AND ENGAGING IN PERSONAL ATTACKS. HE SMOKED OBAMA.
IF YOU could ADOPT the NADER attack Platform on OBAMA and effectively use it in the next DEBATE YOU will have no PROBLEMS winning OHIO and TEXAS.
AMERICA HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH IN OHIO AND TEXAS. VOTERS WILL VOTE FOR YOU IF THEY CAN FEEL YOUR MESSAGE. THAT MESSAGE SHOULD NOT BE CAMAFLOUGED WITH ANGER BUT RATHER THE CALMNESS OF A ROCK HARD LEADER.
HILLARY you MANAGED TO DO THIS AT THE END OF THE LAST DEBATE.
DO NOT FALL INTO THE TRAPS THE OBAMA CAMP HAS SO SKILLFULLY SET FOR YOU. THEY LAUGH EVERy TIME YOU FALL IN. You should have saved the pamphlet and calmly surprised him at the DEBATE ON TUESDAY. THAT WOULD HAVE CHANGED EVERYTHING.
I JUST GAVE You the BLUEPRINT to EASY VictoY. RELAX HILLARY theY want You to Panic and FALL APART. You have to embrace the criticism and smile. GETTING MAD in Public is alwaYs a mistake. VENT Your anger out on BILL. YOUR CONSULTANS MAKE THINGS COMPLlCATED. MAKE YOUR MESSAGE CLEAR. REMEMBER HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME AND LOOK WHERE You are GOING HILLARY. YOU WON NEW YORK, and CALIFORNIA. THERE'S no waY You can lose if You follow this BLUEPRINT.
THE TIME IS NOW
YOUR TIME TO PROVE YOU ARE PRESIDENT HAS COME. TRUST Your GUT AND NEVER show anger" EDDIEWHERE 2008.
OUR TIME IS NOW

Well this is typical politics. Same o same o. Of course Obama lied why shouldn't he? This is politics. Our country, yes this is our country, is becoming more and more divided everyday this campaign goes on.
Lets throw in religion. Tell me if any of Obama's speeches ever end with "God bless America"? I'm not sure if I heard him or not. Maybe that would stop the religious inuendos if he is indeed christian as we know christianity to be. Otherwise havng been a follower of Louis Farakhan, (please forgive me if I spelled his name wrong) who believes in the destruction of the United States, if this is true, isn't that like sending the cows to slaughter?
I know you should never mix religion and politics yet every other candidate has always made referrence to the loyalties of the United States as one nation under God.
I guess like marketingtruth has been trying to tell us, think and look at the facts. Read this read that and when we do it gets scarier and scarier. Where are we heading?
Let me give my two cents worth. True indeed these flyers have been circulating for a while but in the same token, Hillary and her camp contested the fliers when they first came out. They stated then that the fliers were misleading. The media very casually reported that she stated weeks ago that the fliers are not factual. After about 2 days of casually mentioning it, the story was buried.
Now that their is an election in Ohio and alot of factory workers were affected by Nafta, Obama, who has gotten away with absolutely everything thus far, found it necessary to redistrubute the fliers in Ohio. As everyone knows Texas and Ohio are must win states for Hillary and these fliers are misleading---of course she is angry and she is angrily speaking out this time. I find it very interesting that she had to angrily contest the fliers in order for the Media to get serious about this complaint.
I find it even more interesting that now some of the media and Obama have the audacity to say her outrage is tactical!! Give me a break, his actions are tactical and it says alot about him! Didn't he say he was going to bring about new politics and a new Washington. He was going to avoid the pettiness, bickering, underhandedness etc.... Isn't that what his campaign is about and isn't this what his true supporters (not people who are apart of the Anti HIllary Movement) most admire about him? Well guess what---all this man is showing is that he is the SAME as the the rest of the politicians. The more Obama talks the more he puts his foot in his mouth and the Media will make that evidently clear if he get the nomination. .
I'm "outraged" that Hillary is slamming Obama for the same crap she pulls ALL the time. The timing is also interesting. These fliers have been out for some time now, and all of a sudden she's mad - after many said she did little to shake up the race at Thursday's debate. Hmmm...
Obama gave many factual quotations from Clinton today (Sunday). The truth is all mailers and TV ads exaggerate and are one-sided. They are promoting one person's position. And that is true for all "products" not just Obama/Clinton. Obama's "sins" are small potatoes compared to the history of such communications.
I just had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine. We both have our opinions. He wants Obama because he is tired of the Bush/Clinton/Bush era and Hillary's position on the NAFTA vote and the Iraq war. Well she may have voted to fund the support of the troops but Obama supported the extension of NAFTA allowing the process of hispanic laborers being allowed overtime when our country is dealing with layoffs. Also I think why the democrats is continually being elluded the White House is because they are thinking short term, not long term. An Obama/Clinton tincket will doom the democrats. I know that. A Clinton/Obama ticket will bring hope of the future. This is the difference between a 4 to 8 year run or a 8 to 16 year run. Especially with Ralph Nader running again. Obama has attract voters 2 to 1 only because no one wants a Clinton. Throw Nader into the mix, the playing field is leveled. Democrats may be left out in the cold again. Another food for thought.
