The former First Lady says her years in the White House give her unmatched experience. A Clinton biographer assesses her powerful behind-the-scenes role.
Comment: i feel like i was readying the national enquirer...most statements likely taken out of context and with no real validity... pure speculation! Shame on newsweek for printing this.. have some class..
Comment: OBAMA FOR president
Comment: "There is no doubt that Hillary's proximity to the Oval Office has given her a familiarity with the presidency that is unsurpassed by any of her rivals. She knows the mechanics of the White House and the demands of the job."
In fact, there is no doubt that Hillary's experience has taught her how to hector a president, the one at whose desk the buck actually stops, while maintaining her position in the shadows, the place where she leaves "no fingerprints". It is highly likely that this is the worst possible "training" for the genuine responsibilities of the presidency. It is one thing to be Rasputin, it is another to be Tsar. Who is Hillary going to call on the phone and swear at when she's the one who has to make the tough, final decisions? Worse, keeping in mind that she'd have probably vetoed the final welfare reform bill just as much as the first two versions, no matter how much the country was ready for it, this lady presents a very scary prospect. I admit, I would not have voted for Hillary, anyway, I'm not trying to fool anybody. But you know how, after an election, even if your favorite lost, you say to yourself, "Oh, well, that's that. Good luck to the winner and I guess things will work out more or less"? I was prepared to feel that way even if Hillary won the presidency. After reading this article, however, I am inclined to think I'll have nothing but a deep, quiet sense of foreboding and dread if she gets into the White House.
All the same, and paradoxically, I'd kind of like to see her get the Dem nomination. Because I believe she'll lose in November.

Comment: With her intimate knowledge of the workings inside the white house, plus her 7 years in the Senate (Armed Services Committee), Hilary Clinton is by far the most uniquely qualified candidate to step into the whitehouse and begin the job of being President. I, for one, plan to vote for her - at this point in time we cannot afford to waste time on someone that does not understand the job and all it's complexities.
Comment: I would be interested to know what source Sally Smith in her article Hillary's Hidden Hand used to make a statement "he (Bill Clinton) had to defer to her (Hillary), in part because of their implicit marital bargain, in which Bill ceded her power as a trade-off for his history of infidelity." No source was mentioned and I wonder on what grounds does Smith have to include such a statement. Does Newsweek print anything a writer writes? Another dispute I have with Smith in this article is her personal concern to know all the details of the Clintons marital matters. Like that is any concern of hers or anyone else. Let her (Smith) disclose her marital discourse with the World. What a trivial and malicious journalism. Sally, Get a life!
Comment: After Bush ,I am not ready to vote for another well experienced liar like Hillary Clinton.These so-called "well experienced "candidates are conditioned to lying like the Pavlov dog.As far as I'm concerned ,political experience is about saving your skin and we dont need it in this century.We need a candidate who will save America,not his or her political career.A lot of experience means a lot of lying.
Comment: Hillary Clinton voting for the war, and a blank check for the war is against everything she stands for, unfortunately there are forces that control individuals in Washinton that is beyond our realm. Inotherwords if a politician is in trouble they will go against their own principles just to save themselves. This is why I say Hillary should be appointed to a health and childrens welfare committee under an Obama presidency. That way she will not be susceptible to scandal. The Clintons have shown time and time again that they are too political. Their decisions are based on what's best for them first and the people second. Hillary Clinton laughs at the fact that there are individuals who can tell her what kind of president to be. If going negative assists her she will do it, if going family helps her she will do it. These individuals in Washington have been programed to adhere to the will of special interst lobbyists. Why do you think we fund Israeli security forces. The politician is guided by their own narrow interests. This the conclusion I have come too over the holidays. The democrats that have been in the Senate and in the Congress for the last 6 years and have done nothing on a national scale. Edwards has done nothing as a Senator, his voting record indicates he has gone along with whatever the mainstream has wanted him to do, Clinton has done what ever the mainstream has wanted her to do, and pelosi has been playing games and is getting schooled everyday. I have no choice but to vote for OBAMA, what other hope is exist. We need someone who is not programmed and that can bring unity. Obama has not flip floped, he has run a steady and unified campaign even when he was down in the polls, his campaign has stayed focused and positive. Clinton went from negative, to bashing, to family . What is going it is like a script has been written everyday and Hillary is just the actor reading the lines. Like I said there are those that think they are far more experienced and knowledgable than us, but when you look at their individual record it is as if they never had experience. We are stupid and this is why our candidates act stupid. Remember our candidates are a reflection of our society, do what you half to do to get ahead even if it means going against your principles. Experience.
Comment: You do not control the Government the Government controsl you and this has to change. We are not talking race we are talking constitution. The Government is cleverly taking over our civil liberties, slowly, intelligently. Keeping us dumb. Romney is playing the same card Bush did. There stupid so do not play smart
Comment: I just skimmed all the comments. I can't believe that no one mentioned her little habit of using the personal files the IRS and FBI had on political rivals, ie. conservatves, as bed time stories in her White House bedroom. For all you liberals that complain about the Patriot Act stealiing all our personal freedoms, there isn't a peep about this.
Comment: It will be interesting to watch how Hillary explains her role as first lady because it???s a double edge sword. But no matter what, the discussion will highlight the fact that she is candidate only because she is married to Bill Clinton.
On the one hand, to emphasize experience, she wants to show that she had a lot of say in Bills administration. But that would make Bill look somewhat like a wussy. It will also point to undue influence and undermining other cabinet members. It also brings into question what recipricol influence Bill will have over the Hillary Administration.
On the other hand, if she says she merely played the appropriate role as a first lady, then it will take away from her claim of experience. Granted, living in the White House with her husband does give her experience. However, its not much more experience that Laura Bush has to become president.
Unfortunately, for her, no matter how she presents her role as first lady, it will highlight the fact that she is a Presidential candidate only because she is married to Bill Clinton. If not for Bill, she would not be Senator. If not for Bill, she would not have the special powers she enjoyed as being Bills wife. If not for Bill, she would definitely not be a presidential candidate. Bill Clinton really fought 95 percent of Hillarys battle to the White House. Her only major battle scar is from enduring Bill Clintons scandals.
In contrast, Obama, Edwards, and the other candidates are candidates on their own hard work, experience, and talent.

Comment: I Think she will make a great President,like you said she lerarn,from her mistakes. She will be great.
Comment: Why doesn't Obama have to talk about his Religion, I would like to know if he is a Muslim and when does he think that God may send him on a mission to kill more Americans!
Comment: I am a man from south Louisiana, I have followed The Clinton's since day one and I think Hillary Clinton is the most qualified to run our country of all the other Candidates including Democrats and republicans.
One thing I don't understand is why Obama does not have to talk about his Religion, I think the people of
America need to know more! Is he a Muslim, If so when may Christ send him to kill more Americans!
Comment: look at mitt he a cult member....
Comment: Remember "Slick Willy"'s comment of "getting two for the price of one", in the 1992 campaign? Well, if she DID serve as a "co-president", even without the title, would she legally be qualified to run for the presidency? Of course, no judge in the land has the courage to challenge that idea, grant you, but think of it - would you REALLY want a 16 years period in the US history of co-president Clintons? While Bill may have done some good things in office that Hillary now says "We did...", truth is, NO amont of years as first lady qualifies her for the job, and her record as NY's junior senator should be the measuring stick of performance. My feeling is if the other Democratic candidates had the gumption to focus on that record, he'd easily show her true lack of qualities of leadership, and that voters from BOTH political parties would make sure next November wouldn't be another Clinton coronation. Then again, if the other Dem candidates were to do sp, it would be Slick Willy slipping and sliding to the rescue for ole Hil'!
Comment: Sally,thank you for refreshing my memory! And to those of you who have been writing the mean-spirited comments back and fourth to each other, I want to thank you too---for reminding me of what is truely wrong with our world--people like you!
Comment: well this is getting off the subject and were just mean mouthing each other and have forgot the newsweek article..i'll say this and then delete this link ..yes i think isreal had a women leader Golda Meir England had a woman leader and Pakistan had one also so yes a woman can lead...with this said good day and God Bless America...remember you get what you vote for
Comment: Both of those women had something in common, they where great people and where leaders and deserved the possitions they got, Hillary has non of those qualities, she is so classless Hillbilly, ungracious, ego driven, souless, godless, talentless, vicious, ugly women! She posses no qualities that qualify her to president!
NONE!
Comment: you sound like a big ass hole to me cant wait till you have to say Madam President you bigot...you sound like your ass hole buddy bush...cant take it that a womon is smarter than you can you
Comment: Thing is, that Israel had a very, very good PM in Golda Mier, and Lady Magaret Thatcher served as Britan's Prime Minister very, very well. Both women were strong in character and stearn in standing for their principals. As for Butto of Pakistan, unfortunately, her tenure was marked with corruption, and she left the nation in disgrace after a coup. I will GLADLY consider voting for a woman candidte who is well qualified, who does not sway with political winds in making difficult decisions, and who does not have the baggage of a spouse who is a former president to weigh her down. That is why I wouldn't, and will not vote for Hillary Clinton, BUT I will, should a woman candidate emerge, regardless of which political party, that exhibits a record of leadership, not of following, who has proven she can stand on her own for the good of the nation, and not just for herself, and who exhibits both the common sense and the intellect to guide our nation because she is the best candidate among her peers, again regardless of party. Gender isn't the issue. The INDIVIDUAL is the issue, and Hillary Clinton clearly ISN'T the woman who should serve as our nation's first female president, or even as VP.
Comment: She's a crook like Bush. www.truthabouthillary08.blogspot.com
Comment: Sparky in all seriousness and being a military man do you think hilary (being a woman) can take emotion out of a decision? I think that there are many things a woman would be more reluctant to do than a man, and they use more emotions when making decisions. Do you not believe any of the stories of how the clintons treated their secret service detail and their disgust for the military. Those Arkansas state troopers are not republicans.
Comment: Come on being a Ashtray and lamp thrower at Bill Clinton during Monica GATE does not qualify unless he killed him, she couldn't even qualify to be a dog catcher ! I am mad what has she ever done that makes her even in the running, she has no business expercience, abosolutely no Military experience except helping Bill sell milityary secrets to China, Treason is not a good thing, she has never ben a leader in the Senate, she never acomplished on record in the Senate so no leadership, oh I forgot she ended the IRA conflict ya right she wasn't even apart of, she is the most unqualified to be president or even a human being. So why would we vote for her to run the greatest country in the world I think she has a lot of experience in Murder,/Arkanside Vince foster Ron Brown and his secratary ,100 kids in \Waco, the list could fill 2 pages, she is acomplished congential liar thats no a good trait, Some poll say she is the most admired women in Amerika, only 10% say that 90% don't think much of her, if the poll is scewed by 9% how does of zero experiience other than in the Clinton Criminality get off saying she has exprience ! since the Clintons only got 43% in a general election twice, and Bush got 48.9% and 52.9 which was the largest margin in modern times, so 57% said no twice, but Perot was a criminal factor the Clintons gave him huge government contracts for his help in the stealing the elections! I have not found one bit of experience Hillary has that even qualifies her to be a bad 4th rate ambulace chasing washed out old ugly fatt butt little worm of a women who never answers any diresct questions! God she is just a lump of Black Coal staining our great countries politics!
Comment: Sparky needles to say I have not been overjoyed with the Bush presidency but it did not take any effort on his part to bring respect back to the white house after following the poll following clinton's. I'm all for no more Bush's and no more clinton's, and if nothing changes no more incumbants no matter what party affiliation. So let me apologize in advance for sparky because without someone telling him how to vote he would not be able to stand on his own two feet.
Comment: Ever wonder why the GOP primary candidates mention the name "Reagan" a lot? Simple - you may have diagreed with his policies and political philosophies, but you KNEW where he stood, always. Myself, I fondly remember the Reagan years as one of re-energizing America after the cemoralizing years of the Carter Administration. Both men had good qualities which brought them to the Oval Office to serve, but with RR, it was an optimistic spirit and a pragmatic ability to use common sense in addressing key issues of the day that allows for him to still be ranked high among Americans (with the exception being the liberal historians). A man who could battle Tip O'Neil during the day over politics, then visit with him at day's end over a drink and shared Irish jokes between them - THAT is what is needed more today. A sense of a word not spoken often in DC now - bipartisanship, working for the good of the nation, not just the political party.
Put those years beside of the years of the first two Clinton presidential tenures, then imagine a possible Hillary administration. I think both Dems and GOPs will EASILY see such is NOT the best for America, and it never should happen.
Comment: to bad rr couldnt remember being president...he could never recall any thing and nacy had to check the stars to tell him what to do he was a b actor and a b president his monkey movie the monkey was smarter than him
Comment: Good ole sparky - once again, showing your true ignorance of actual facts. As for Mr. Reagan's Alzheimer's illness, which came about after his tenure, as one who has a close relative who is battling the disease, I pity you for making such a remark, for it shows your shear stupidity. If you've any relatives or a hand full of friends (which is questionable), you owe them am apology for behaving in such a callus manner, and may God have mercy on you that you never have to experience the ravages of the horrible disease. Finally, it is the apathetic views you express that lead many Americans to think their opinions, and their participation at the ballot box doesn't matter, and I HIGHLY encourage anyone reading this to VOTE, to show those like sparky who are so full of apathy (and manure) that their views do not represent the true feeling of our land, regardless of your political party affiliation.
Comment: i was talking about while he was president not after...no one would say anthings in his later years...that would be sick...im talking about when he was in office not years later...i think ollie north had the same memory problem also...but its ok if the gop break the laws there above the law...ask bush or dick.
Comment: wow im sorry also...my biggest fault is were losing the America i was born into (I was born in 1946) and i love this country very much...i joined the navy in 1963 (not drafted) because i cared.I have voted in every election since i was 18...and i afraid my kids and grand kids will not live in a free America as i haveI admit President did a lot of immoral things but he will answer to God for that but bush has lied to us stolen our freedoms (Patriot act) and so much more.If we ever get in a real war what will they do to our boys because bush has ignored the Geneva Act and our troops will pay for it.I believe untill bush our country was different than every other country in the world i was always so proud to say I'M A AMERICAN but now i'm not so proud of my country because we have become like the people we are fighting....We do everything they do we just do it in another country...we need to return to AMERICA the good guys any by the way i dont hate all republicians....i really liked IKE and President Ford...they were real Amsericans in my book...i sorry i was mean to you but i love the USA and think bush has distroyed our foundation. (sorry i can't spell but i went to school in the south and spelling wasnt my best subject.God Bless America Sparky
Comment: Sparky I will apologize as well, and I agree America is not what it used to be I am as frustrated as yourself with todays conditions in America. I respect that you are a veteran and wish myself that I could have served in the days of WWII. Todays wars will be nothing like the past were brave men made the difference. I will agree to disagree with you on how to fix America but hope for the best outcome. Times have changed a lot since the Geneva Accords and we really are not fighting against a sovereign government so to me it makes sense that they do not apply, besides the enemy today beheads you on the internet. What kind of deterrent is there for the type of people? Just so you know I sent the white house an email friday addressed to president bush explaining that I am now ashamed to call myself American as well, but not solely due to him but our government that bows to money and money only.
Comment: I'll argue with you anyday sparky716. I'm highly educated and politically involved. I voted for Bush, and I don't feel stupid or ignorant. In 2000 I could've voted for a tree hugger that would have done NOTHING to fight extremism. In 2004 my other option was someone who couldn't make up his own mind, and stand for something. I don't believe we went to Iraq for the stated reasons, but I also know we are ALREADY OVER THERE. GET OVER IT. As an American, we must face and fix our mistakes or we will be reduced to nothing more then a sub-par wannabe superpower. We owe it to ourselves and to the Iraqi's to own up to what we started. I find it hilarious that Cutting and Running is an actual strategy for the democrats. We need to find an acceptable way out, and that is the only answer. Oh, and Sparky, I can see through your rant that BN2WIN's statement would be correct. Quit complaining, and get over it. I'm sure it's easy for you to say all that from your comfortable home. Oh, and I am also not chicken. If you would like a picture of the scar of the bullet hole left in my chest, give me your email.
Comment: so you voted for a boy BUSH that hid bin alabama instead or fighting in nam as Mr kerry did and you also voted for bush and old dick who was to bust to go fight over al gore who went to nam twice to fight for his country..i served in the US NAVY from 1963 to 1967 so your no more Amsrican tham me...i joined did you?and if your so hip om fighting dont you think we need to attack China Korea and all the other countrys you dont like.....if your of fighting age bthe join and go fight...just like nam when we leave iraq they will go back to the way they were and just like nam all our boys will have diede for nothing...is nam free today?

Comment: if you voted for bush twice your not highly educated and not very politically involved...if your so smart how could you vote for some one whos daddy got them in the guard so they would not have to go fight for there country over two MEN, Mr. Gore and Mr. Kerry who went over there a fought for there country and i think mr Gore went twice..you were probably born with a silver spoon like bush (hope you did not use yours to snort coke like bush did) and ole dick c says he was to busy to go...now there what you consider real Americans i guess...how did you get the bullet hole in your chest...hunting with dick ?
Comment: To sparky716 - As with the subject of beauty, well educated and politically involved are usually in the eyes of the beholder, and from my viewpoint, I can't say you qualify for either.
Myself, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Education, but I also know severl fine men and women who are "well educated" that didn't graduate from high school, due to the economic turmoil of their youth. I've had the privilege of working in several campaigns as a volunteer over the years, and have worked as both a registar and as a machine operator in past elections. However, the citizens who are "politically involved" are the ones who step into the polling place booths, and casts their votes, be it for national, state or local elections. They, Sparky, THEY are the ones who are "politically involved", regardless of party affiliation!
I've always said, and will always say that the citizen who consistently votes has every right to voice their opinion about the gov't and current issues, and the citizens who do not vote have forfieted any legitmate right to complain, plain and simple, possibly TOO plain for you to comprehend.

Comment: The truth hurts doesn't it bn2win...all you can do is attack me for spelling.I feel sorry for you and yes ignorance abounds throughout america.I'll leave you with this President Clinton won both the elections fair...the supream court elected bush the first time and diebold the second.
Comment: Gore was a reporter and had 2 body guards he went for three months and daddy got him out, Kerry a self decorated phony balony that everyone hate who got a dishonable discharge for his anti war pro Viet Cong, stance in 1972!, Carter changed the records gave him a honorable disharged as an officer, in 1978 look that one up his records are sealed from 72-78! Billy bob was paraded around in Red Square by the KGB in 1969-70 when no one could get into RUSSIA including Perot, Billy Bob Clinton was a Draft Dodger, you can look that up, Hillary was a Frumpy ugly women with hairy armpits thick ugly glasses who hated cops call them PIGS she still hates the military just ask the Marines that protected her in the Clinton Whore House!
She would gut the Military, she has no business ever being Commander in Chief, would take America down half of what our military Might! Sparky you get your facts from Moveon.s--t, or code pinko,f-g it is easy to find things out now! Gore never saw a day action, an Kerry fabricated an injury of a hot rice embeded in his Butt, he also did fabricate his purple heart because he recomended himself!!!! oh I forgot he went to camodia! I think you listen to that radio show that has 3 listeners and you are a member of the daily kooks and you gett talking points every morning from the communist party in America! This is America, not 1969 AMERIKA like you want!
Comment: where was bush and dick..no where near nam were they... you sound a lot like hilter to me in fact you would probably happy if we were more like germany in 1933 wouldnt you...people like you are whats wrong with this nation...bet you listen to the old right wing drugie rush r and love the coke head bush your just mad your days are over king george has ruled through fear long enough...why do yo think the house and senate are not in the kings hands now and next year it will be Madam President
Comment: Do you realize that it was a democratic judge that cast the final say in the 04 vote. Check it out or can you read or do you just spout off at the mouth what others tell you.
Comment: bn2win, one quick correction - You're right about the vote, but not the year. 2000 was the year, but your point is a very good one. Thanks for making it!
Comment: Ignorance abound throughout America is extremely evident here.
Comment: After reading this it proves that slick willy is the worst president ever, and his wife will stop at nothing for power. She has allowed herself to be prostituted for power, why would anyone want that for a president?
Sparky you are just plain ignorant evident by your ability to spell and reason.
Comment: if you had to have the ability to spell then we would not have bush as ....i cant say president because like you he's a jerk just because you can spell does'nt mean your not ignorant because if you think this country is better off after 8 years of bush your not only ignorant but stupid as well...it want be long and you can say Madam President...i'll be you never served your country you most likely a chicken hawk like your stupid and ignorant bush dick ...you can't say anything bad about Hillary becauseall you know is what old stupid has told you ....you voted for the idoit i'll bet so who's the stupid oneyour like all the repugs attack attack but no idea of whats best for our country
Comment: you have said enough any intelligent person reading these comments would not get to the second sentence of your posts before dismissing you as a fool
Comment: well, i am happy sparky716 to go through your comment. i can not agree more than what you have endorsed. to add " this REPUBLICANS will definitely rig the election TAKE IT FROM ME. THE CRIMINAL IS SITTING QUIET(BUSH). HE WILL GO INTO ACTION SHOULD THE SITUATION ARISE. The DEMOCRATS should not let go the REPUBLICANS THIS TIME. YOU ARE SLIGHTLY OFF THE MARK WHEN YOU SAID "thank God theres not another bush running good ole jeb kinda " but then who is OBAMA YOU KNOW? HE IS A REPUBLICAN IN THE GARB OF THE DEMOCRAT A PET OF LEIBERMAN AND A PAID AGENT OF THE AIPAC. IF ANY DOUBT CHECK IT UP. HE IS A CLON OF BUSH AND A CLOSE COUSIN OF DICK CHENEY. D C HAPPY
Comment: dchappy, allow me to encourage you to study up on your history, particularly the 1960 Presidential election, between Jack Kennedy and Dick Nixon. The truth, revealed long after the unfortunate death of JFK, is that had it not been for the ballot rigging machines of Chicago's mayor, Richard Daley, Sr., and Texan Lyndon B. Johnson (aka "Landslide Lyndon"), the JFK administration would never have been. However, unlike one Albert Gore, Jr., Richard Nixon felt it would be best not to contest the election, even though corruption was very likely the case, and he did so becuase he felt it would do irrepairable harm to the country. If you still need further examples, look over the gubernatorial administration of Democrat Ray Blanton of Tennessee, or of former governor of Louisiana, Edwin Edwards.
dchappy, those who do NOT study history, and learn from it the errors made, are likely to relive it, and it's clearly evident you've much studying to do, so get to it.
Comment: Hey! eddiewhere very well said, how much did you charge obama to write this stupid note for people to see. itis better to beg standing on the street then to stab back the national interest by spreading nonsense all around Mr. go and do it in your original land israel. D C HAPPY

Comment: You do not control the Government the Government controsl you and this has to change. We are not talking race we are talking constitution. The Government is cleverly taking over our civil liberties, slowly, intelligently. Keeping us dumb. Romney is playing the same card Bush did. There stupid so do not play smart.
Comment: eddiewhere, you make an excellent observation. President Reagan, on many occassions during his tenure, and in campaigns before, stated that the most important words in the US Constitution were, and I quote, "We The People". Regardless of political party affiliation or philosophy, the citizens of America need to protect the rights of the American indvidual, and fight the philosophy of conformity, of blindly following what DC, not the citizens of this great land, believe is best.
Again, an EXCELLENT observation, and thank you for making such.
Comment: This has turned into a joke. When will we as Americans realize we do not control our government. They have their own agenda. Karl Rove and George Bush are laughing. Experience. Experience. Who needs experience when you control the world's capital. Who needs experience when you own both parties.
Comment: Being first lady dose not qualifiy you to be president of the United States. That's like saying I have a back stage pass to a Funkadelic concert and qualifies me to play bass guitar for their summer tour. She is telling voters that she is qualified because of her time in the White House. Let's look at that a moment. Somolia, USS Cole, Kenya, a failed Iraq policy, Whitewater, Lewinsky, First World Trade Center bombing, Bin Laden was not important, and if I remember health care was not the greatest then. Oh I forgot how effective was just say no? I would say that covers it. What makes her say she's qualified? Or did I miss something?

Comment: i guess you want another bush...better get used to Madam President ...tex
Because I see something wrong with Hillary, it means I want "another Bush"... there's an intelligent comment for you. You really are obsessive, aren't you?
Don't know whether you noticed, but there isn't "another Bush" running this time. So... get over it already, why don't you... "spark".
Hillary is looking like the most Nixonian candidate the Dems have ever had the possibility of nominating. I think there are other Dem candidates who could take it in 2008, but not Hillary. So... please nominate Hillary, Democrats!

Hey, "Spark!" Not only are you obsessive, you're desperate! Because I noted there wasn't another Bush running this time, you "intelligently" concluded I didnt' know there was "another one", i.e., anyone else named Bush. I assume you're talking about Jeb? And/or GWB's other siblings? Tell me, was your major in college "Gratuitious Empty-Headed Shots"? If so, I'm sure you got a 4.0.
You are too, too sad, too, too desperate and too, too obsessed. Do you actually have a life beyond posting idiotic comments? Hmm, "Spark"?
Get help, while there's time, Spark.

Comment: I wanted to quickly point out that on the experience issue, Barack Obama has more legislative time in office than did Abraham Lincoln when he was elected in 1860. Obama and Lincoln each served eight years in the Illinois State Legislature - but Lincoln served only one two-year term in the U.S. House of Representatives, whereas Obama will have completed four years in the U.S. Senate when he is elected next November! Also, Obama has the two most important qualities, IMO, to be a great president - wisdom and the ability to unite people. He showed wisdom in his opposition to the war in Iraq way back in 2002 when very few Democrats had the courage or foresight to speak out. And he has shown his ability to bring people together in both his state and national legislative time in office. He also has a vision that this country can be great again. Democrats, let's not miss this opportunity to nominate this wonderful man. (p.s. - I tried to post these thoughts about two hours ago, but never saw it appear - so if this turns out to be a duplicate post, I apologize!)
Comment: This likely will sound unusual, coming from a "Reagan Republican", but saying Obama has more experience than Lincoln is very similar to Dan Quayle stating he possessed the same amount of experience as JFK when he was the VP nomnee in 1988. Unlike Lloyd Bentsen's "I knew Jack Kennedy.." rebutal, I can't say I knew Abraham Lincoln, nor can I say Abe Lincoln was a friend of mine, but I SURE CAN say that Barrack Obama is NO ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Lincoln possesed the wisdom to lead and the ability to do so that only a very few of his successors have come close to emulating, and have strived to do so. Monetfan, perhaps, just perhaps, it might be wise to lay off the glasses of Monet for a bit, study and compare what Mr. Lincoln had to lead America through with the tenures of Mr. Obama in the Illinois state house, and the short tenure in the US Senate, and then, after doing such, I believe you'll be apt to reassess your view, or, at least, rephrase your words.
Comment: lincoln was the next to the worse president ever (bush is the worse) he could not hold the country together which resulted in the war between the states...the best dem is probably joe biden but hillary will get it and become the best we have ever had.
Comment: This story is both enlightening and concerning and speaks VOLUMES about her true character. Historically, other First Ladies have been known to have some influence with their Presidential spouse, but IMO, she has behaved inappropriately, MEDDLING in matters of utmost importance to this nation- and at the time,having NO EXPERIENCE WHATSOEVER!
Comment: I have always been a libertarian, but when it comes to either Clinton, I am a member of a vast right wing conspiracy. I rang the bells when Bill was inagurated and had high hopes for his presidency, but through all of the lies ("I did not have sex with that woman") and deception ("interpretation of what is is") and the long list of friends and body guards that wound up dead it was hard for me to believe that he was not put in prison.How are we to trust the thief of Whitewaterand the only person to have benefited from the death of JFK Jr?
Comment: I UNDERSTAND THE" I DID NOT SLEEP WITH THAT WOMAN" BUT WHITEWATER, GET A GRIP THEY INVESTED IN A COMPANY, IT FAILED,NO THEFT, THEY PUT IT IN THERE TAXES WHERE IT BELONGS, AS A LOSS. RIGHT WHERE EVERYONE ELSE DID WHEN THERE INVESTMENTS GO BAD, ASK A ENRON EMPLOYEE, OR STOCK HOLDER, OH YA I FORGOT BUSH CASH OUT WITH A MEGA PROFIT, WITH THE HELP FROM KEN LEIGH, AND WHEN YOUR FRIENDS AND BODY GUARDS END UP DEAD, IT'S MOST LIKELY C.I.A. OR B.S. PICK SOME INITIALS, AND LEAVING A SURPLUSS, AND NO DEFICIT WAS THE WORST THING HE COULD HAVE EVER DONE, HOW DARE HE! NO IM NOT MIND SET YET, BUT FOR ME TO VOTE GOP EVER, WOULD REQUIRE A MENTAL ILLNESS, AND A MAJOR ONE AT THAT. ITS TIME TO TAKE BACK WHAT IS OURS-THIS COUNTRY, AND MAKE MADE IN AMERICA, A THING OF THE FURTURE, AND LEAD THE WORLD BY EXAMPLE, NOT BY THREAT!
Comment: PLEASE DO NOT VOTE HILLARY IN!!!! IF SHE GETS IN BILL WILL HAVE ANOTHER MONICA LEWINSKY EPISODE. BOTH BILL AND HILLARY ARE LIERS!!!! MAYBE BILL CAN HAVE A FOURSOME - HILLARY, MONICA AND ANOTHER LESBIAN FRIEND OF HILLARY'S. I THINK GEORGE W BUSH IS DOING THE BEST HE CAN WITH THE BEST INFO HE IS GETTING AROUND HIM. ONE THING I WISH FOR IS CONDI RICE GO GET THE GAP BETWEEN HER FRONT TEETH TAKEN CARE OF. I HEAR SHE SPENDS ALMOST A THOUSAND DOLLARS ON SHOES - WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT - A PAIR OF SHOES OR HAVING A NICE APPEARANCE ON HER HERSELF. AGAIN, DO NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY! THE LAST DAY THE CLINTONS WERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE - JANUARY 20, 2001 - I HEARD THEY TOOK THE "W'S" OFF ALL THE TYPEWRITERS! OH PLEASE, HOW MUCH OF A MORAN COULD YOU BE? THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND FIRST LADY - SHOW A LITTLE DIGNITY - OH, I FORGOT, CLINTON HAD SEX IN THE OVAL OFFICE. HOW GROSS! IF HE WANTED TO HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH AN INTERN COULDN'T HE AFFORD TO GO TO SOME HOTEL OR SOMEWHERE ELSE TO DO HIS THING!!!!!!
Comment: i'll take that any day over the jerk thats in office now...he lies so much he makes bill sound like a sunday school teacher you can tell when bush is lieing his lips are moveing the way he talks he's most likely still a drunk and coke head he has no idea what the truth is...he makes nixon look good....what ever happened to ole jeb bush...thought they were going to have the supreme court or diebold make him the next president....bush provede you dont have to get elected if you have the big boys (the rich) on your sidebet ole cspaits hasnt served in the military probably a chicken hawk like bush dick and ole rummy...at least the world did not hate us when we had a real President....sparky716 (US NAvy 1963 TO 1967)
Comment: Oh sparky, come out of the Clinton cocoon, and breathe in some freshy air of reality. Due to his lack of being truthful, and inability to control his libido, Bill Clinton is only the second president in our nation's history to be impeached. While I do not agree with every GWB policy or philosophy, and I very much believe the military plan involving Iraq whould have included an exit plan when it was developed, the fact is that Clinton swayed with the political winds like young Georgia pines being bent over by hurricane winds, while GWB has remained true to his beliefs, regardless of the nosedive of his popularity. There stands a much better chance of history treating GWB kinder than there ever will be of it treating Bill Clinton in a good way.
Finally, if we truly are hated so badly, as you believe, why is it that the US is usually the first to come to the aid of nations after disaster has struck them? Two cases in point, 1. southeast Asia, after the devastating tsunamis a couple of years ago, and 2.- NOW BE SURE TO GET THIS IF YOU DO NOT GET ANYTHING ELSE - America providing IRAN with humanitarian relief after a major earthquake. Imagine what the vast majority of Germans and Japanes really DO feel about the US, given that America helped greatly to rebuild them after WWII? Need another example - the Marshall Plan, under Harry Truman, which helped war torn south Europe get back on its feet. Think Bin Laden and his thugs really do represent the views of the rest of the people of the world? Think again, and study the actual proof!
Comment: your memory is short didn't nixon quit reather than be impeached...unlike bush he had the balls to quit before he was impeached...if bush was any kind of a man he would quit and move to iraq
Comment: that was the America before bush distroyed it seems like after the hurricane in n.o. bush turned down help from other countrys wow what a great leader..one thing for sure all you people of the GOP can only attack attack but have no plan for any thing...what is the bush exit plan for iraq (which has lasted longer than ww2) pass it on to hillary....and its funny nothing is king george fault everything that has happened since the war between the states was President Clintons fault...the GOP is attack attack blame others ant i dont recall...for such smart people they cant recall any thing but what President Clinton did
Comment: Hillary has certainly gained a lot of experience from her years as first lady. What better master could have taught her to be a corrupt, lying thief than her disgraced, but charismatic husband?
Comment: Thus author clearly reported a PRO-HILLARY article. Isn't professional journalism supposed to report the whole story. I'm disappointed in Newsweek for allowing this so called 'journalist' to report such garbage. We all know Hillary has no true experience. I've been trying to weight the candidates and cannot find any experience in Hillary that would make a true presidential candidate. She should drop out now. Packaging over substance and the media working for you just doesn't cut it for me. I will be an informed reader who searches for truth. Newsweek, start with some serious true journalism.

Comment: Puhleez - I can't take four more years of the Clinton soap opera. We Democrats deserve so much better than a recycled replay of this 1990s psycho-drama. Hillary cannot unite this country. She is a polarizer. She doesn't work well with others. Look at the one job she was given to manage - health care. She failed totally. We need a candidate who can inspire us. We need a candidate who can bring together Republicans, Independents, and Democrats to actually solve the many tough issues facing us. Hillary is NOT that person. BARACK OBAMA IS!! He has demonstrated his ability at uniting opposing sides both at the state and national level. He can certainly inspire - just listen to his mesmerizing and electrifying Jefferson/Jackson speech. He reminds us that this country can be great again. Democrats in Iowa and NH - please choose Barack Obama! We need a healer - not a polarizer. Obama is this generation's JFK! Don't bring back the dysfunctional Clintons! Caucus and vote for Barack Obama!!
Comment: "A CLINTON BIOGRAPER ASSESSES HER POWERFUL BEHIND-THE SCENES ROLE. What does that tell you? The poor guy probably had a Clinton operative holding a gun to his head dictating what to say. If Vince Foster was still alive I bet he could tell you all about the Arkansas trailer trash. Fu-- the Clinton and their socialist minion.
Comment: The root of our problems is that Clinton did not nail Bin Laden when he could. The first World Trade attack came in 1993 under Clinton. When you try to bring down 2 buildings with 50,000 people in them, that's like trying to attack America with a nuclear bomb. The weak Clinton presidency allowed Bin Laden to plan the second attack. Bush would not have had an excuse for Iraq if Bin Laden hadn't brought down the towers in 2001. The wars are bankrupting the economy, and the subprime crisis is adding to it globally. Clinton is the worst president we've ever had - a compulsive liar and incompetent. Hillary is a transparent attempt by Bill to spit on the American constitution and get a third or fourth term. The Clintons disgraced the presidency and caused the democrats to lose the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court. Hillary's healtcare was a flop - despite 8 years of Bill Clinton. Obama has shown greater wisdom and judgement on foreign policy issues than all the other candidates combined. Hillary, Edwards and Biden voted for the Iraq war - simply parroting what Bush told them. Obama not only spoke out against it, but was able to see where it would take us. He alone identified, in 2002, the quagmire and costs that would result - both in lives and finances. Again, with Iran, Hillary rushed to vote for an unnecessary hostile saber-rattling bill - something that Bush admitted could be pushing us into World War III. Note that Bush's WW III is no joke. It would mean destruction of planet earth - as it would be nuclear, and Russia would not be on our side. Putin has said that. Hillary is completely clueless, and just blows with the wind, flip-flopping with no deep insights like Obama. We need a brilliant president who can guide us through unprecedented danger. Obama's the man. Nobody else even comes close.
Comment: YOU KNOW IT GETTING OLD "THEY VOTED FOR THE WAR" WITH THE INTELL THEY HAD AT THE TIME [WHICH WAS ALL BULL] I WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR WAR IF IM BEING TOLD BY MY PRESIDENT THAT THIS GUY COULD ATTACK AT ANY TIME AS HE HAS WHATS NEEDED TO DO SO AND SO WOULD YOU AT THE TIME NO ONE HAD A CLUE THIS GUY IN THE WH LIES DECIEVES AND MANY MORE ADJECTIVES AS WE DO TODAY. SO PLEASE ITS NOT A FACTOR WHAT IS A FACTOR IS WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO BORDER TO BORDER COAST TO COAST AND FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE?? PLUS MORE BUT YOU GET THE POINT IT GOT OLD LAST ELECTION IT'S STILL OLD TODAY YA THEY VOTE FOR FUNDING BUT JUST CAUSE YOU DON'T SUPPORT THE WAR, DON'T MEAN WE WE DON'T SUPPORT AND FUND THE TROOPS, THIS WE DO, BTW OBAMA IS NOT BAD AT LEAST HE HAS PROVED BY HIS PLATFORM HE LISTENS TO OTHERS WHO KNOW MORE THAN HE BUT HE LISTENS AND LEARNS FAST!
Comment: but he did while bush wasw in charge(he's no president by a long shot) but the fact is in 8 years bush could not find him because he was to busy trying to get the man that tryed to kill his daddy...the rest he could care less about but he did get the man who tryed to kill hid dad as far as obama goes ive got as much experence as he does....we dont need any more on the job trainimg.and we need a president who works for ALL americans (black white yellow red brown ) and dont owe any thing to oprah oj and the likes
Comment: Obama has said that Bin Laden is the issue - and even said that he would go after him in Pakistan if necessary. Hillary and the others voted for the Bush Iraq war, while Obama spoke out against it. So who is more qualified to make the important decisions? Obama is a uniter with support from blacks, whites, democrats, republicans - everybody with a brain. He is not about race, nor is Oprah - and I don't know what oj has to do with this. Seems like you're a racist sparky716.
Comment: dont think so when jesse jackson ran for president (in the 80's i think) i voted for him in the texas primary and would love to vote for obama but he does'nt have the experence to be president(may be in 8 years as Hillary's vice president) but not now....we can't afford to train another person bush could getr it in 8 years....we need experence NOW you should watch out who you call a racist...have you ever voted for a black person (I have) or are a big fat white repug right wing red neck that thinks only whites can rule....wasn't President often called the first black President Sparky716
Comment: So, according to this article, Hillary's "hidden hand" was shoved up Bill's ass like he was a ventriloquist's dummy. Then, when asked about it (including under oath), they both just deny, deny, deny. Unless, of course she needs some resume material now, in which case she takes credit for everything. So, which way is it? It doesn't matter, because Newsweek (and most of the national print media) will gladly let her have it both ways. What a crock.
Comment: The forces that control the white house are much greateer that one person cannot. In order for things to change we need a movement. I think the majority of Americans are inspired and will join Obama's movement. Hillary is not part of a movement therefore she is vunerable to attack. Hillary's administration is just to susceptible to scandal. Bill Clinton's welfare reform was against everything he stood for, he was forced to sign it because of his political problems. Hillary Clinton voting for the war, and a blank check for the war is against everything she stands for, unfortunately there are forces that control individuals in Washinton that is beyond our realm. Inotherwords if a politician is in trouble they will go against their own principles just to save themselves. This is why I say Hillary should be appointed to a health and childrens welfare committee under an Obama presidency. That way she will not be susceptible to scandal. The Clintons have shown time and time again that they are too political. Their decisions are based on what's best for them first and the people second. Hillary Clinton laughs at the fact that there are individuals who can tell her what kind of president to be. If going negative assists her she will do it, if going family helps her she will do it. These individuals in Washington have been programed to adhere to the will of special interst lobbyists. Why do you think we fund Israeli security forces. The politician is guided by their own narrow interests. This the conclusion I have come too over the holidays. The democrats that have been in the Senate and in the Congress for the last 6 years and have done nothing on a national scale. Edwards has done nothing as a Senator, his voting record indicates he has gone along with whatever the mainstream has wanted him to do, Clinton has done what ever the mainstream has wanted her to do, and pelosi has been playing games and is getting schooled everyday. I have no choice but to vote for OBAMA, what other hope is exist. We need someone who is not programmed and that can bring unity. Obama has not flip floped, he has run a steady and unified campaign even when he was down in the polls, his campaign has stayed focused and positive. Clinton went from negative, to bashing, to family . What is going on it is like someone has written a script and Hillary is just an actor. Just be yourself and stick to it.
Comment: The Clintons are my second choice. Statistically they would make the correct decisions most of the time. However, it only takes one big time laPse in judgement to mess "things" up. I think Obama just has the right instinct to make the correct big time judgements. Hillary Clinton has already had to fire a long time emPIoyee for "candidate bashing". Look at Obama's camPaign, it makes you feel comfortable. They have run a unified and Positive camPaign even when trailing in the Polls. They are a reflection of their leader OBAMA, Genuine and down to earth. OBAMA just seems to have the right instincts for the Job. HoPefully, Bill Clinton continues his great work around the world and hopefully Hillary will continue her great work in N.Y. HoPefully they will understand why the majority will vote for OBAMA.
Comment: Have life people. You are giving the impression as if Hillary was the President and Bill was a nobody. Your jouralists can do better than spreading this lies. News, I believe, is and should be part of Newsweek.

Comment: HIllary Clinton and her husband are liars. Plain and simple. But that is hardly the worst of it. They are criminals. Remember the pardoning of all of Bills friends. If you want corrupt government...Hillary and Bill are your candidates. You deserve what you get if you let these clowns back in the White House.
Comment: i think bush pardoned libby and as far as liers go bush has lies about every thing from iraq, iran cia and torturing, bush and dick are REAL crimminals they are guilty of treason and should be in jail...they are the real terroist....they make Hilter look like Billy Ghram...the bush government is the most corrupt in all our histroy
Comment: LIBBY WAS COMMUTED BUT NOT PARDONED
Comment: yet... it will happen before he leaves office and libby took the fall for ole dick and bush
Comment: I totally agree with you. Bush is a lying ***. We need real leadership...a true statesman running the country. Ron Paul is the obvious choice. Politics as usual is not an option anymore. Down with the status quo.
Comment: If the article is true, then we can once again see the deceit that is the Clinton political machine. It is heartwarming to see that voters in both Iowa and NH are beginning to understand the true facts about Mrs. Clinton, her 'win at all costs' attitude, her bullying behind the scenes...all at the expense of the people of this nation. We need new leadership, not old solutions to new problems. It is time to move beyond the Bush/Clinton families.
Comment: We elect Hillary and we get the Presidency ruled by two families, the Bushes and the Clintons for a quarter of a century. You would think in a country of 300 million there
