    Two of the most unprincipaled Internationals to ever grace the scene of American politics.

    What is sad is.....it appears by the polls, the American voting population love these two insane people.

    There is truth in the saying, "Behind the success of a man is a woman." So it is with Bill and Hillary. I believe in the intelligence of Hillary, the wisdom and compassionate nature of Bill, and the marriage of Bill's and Hillary's qualities. It is for this reason that the Republicans (and the media they control [and controlled}) have been maligning the Clintons for years. The Republicans and the media are now working towards making Obama the Democratic nominee because they know that the nation is not ready to elect a minority as its president.

    Hillary will never be president because the true American people are to smart to allow another Clinton disaster to envelope our country. Thank God we have a great president in office who has the balls to stand up and fight. While the democrats what to surrender and cede the war to the terrorists, George Bush is standing up and protecting our country from foreign invaders. Sparky....you're showing your stupidity and lack of knowledge. When Clinton lied....our country died. When Bush made the decision to begin war, it was based on intel from the CIA director, Geroge Tenet, a Clinton appointee. Bush made his decision based on the best intel available, and that happened to come from his predecessor Bill Clinton. Thank God for George W. Bush and our troops who are protecting our country from the terrorists and the traitorous democrats.

      Yes staying the cource is the proper way to get the body count wanted from day one!!! Go Bush, they live there, they have time, we spend 2 billion a day, they spend zero, so who can afford to stay and play the right way as we taught them under his [Bush] father???

    • Posted By: pinkpanther87413 @ 12/25/2007 10:26:33 AM

      ya darn Clinton for paying off our bills called a deficit and his old lady knows the core of that good move on his part. Second at least Clinton was not preparing to invade a country prior to 9/11 as Bush was and Clinton got head not big bucks from Enron or Worldcom so he would HAVE to start a war to avoid procicution!!! Clinton was the Best so what he got it up at least he was the first in a long time who is young enough to do so!!! Bush screwed America not a woman!!! Bushs family is buried deep in the Lauden family friends or should i just say Osama-Bin-who??? Wake up Bush is the anti-Christ to bad owing no one must be anti-American so must it be to those who outsourced our country-The Bush Family!!!

    She has absolutely lacks a virtue that is required to be President: "humility and truthfulness." She's comes off as being insincere and certainly doesn't understand, "we, the little people." I agree she is eager to win, but we have reservations about her capacity to serve. I am a 71-year-old caucasian female and will vote for Barack Obama. I know no one personally who will vote for Hilary. Therefore, it is so hard to believe the poll credibilities.

  • Posted By: pinkofreeptard @ 12/25/2007 10:16:46 AM

    Hillary is a maniacal, ego-manic. She is driven by the need to win, not the need to serve. Why would anybody choose to vote for that?

    • Posted By: pinkpanther87413 @ 12/25/2007 10:29:55 AM

      Becaue a Clinton has the solution to our debt and how to pay it off as he did before unlike ANY president and he had the balls to put Hussain in his place and had no intention of genocide of the Kurds as we do today -just another people to destroy and remove from this planet as we did with many tribes with a treaty!!

    I appreciate this balanced and informative article. Thank you for providing some answers and important insight on on vision/philoshy,leadership style, experience, and temperment of Hillary Clinton. Now can we have a similar article on each of the other major candidates, that is those who have a serious possibility of getting elected. Again, Thank you.

    • Posted By: pinkofreeptard @ 12/25/2007 10:10:00 AM

      Hillary is a maniacal, ego-maniac. She is power driven to win, not to serve. Why would anybody want that for their president?

  • Posted By: newbie @ 12/24/2007 5:24:34 PM

    I can not think why anyone would want the two of them back in the White House. They were both a disgrace to the office and should get off the public bandwagon.

    • Posted By: sparky716 @ 12/25/2007 9:40:21 AM

      like bush is not a disgrace to the office...he's stupid and my dog has more brains than him...at least when clinton lied no one died....

  • Posted By: seems to me @ 12/23/2007 12:52:27 AM

    They may have done a few things correctly. The fact remains the disgrace brought to presidentcy and white house needs not to be repeated. I have read several times that Bill still is the same in regards to adultry. Will this be the October surprize???

    • Posted By: newbie @ 12/24/2007 5:21:37 PM

      I can not for the life of me understand why we would welcome these two back to the White House. Both have been involved in way too much "other stuff." One disgraced President in my life in more than enough thank you.

      • Posted By: actor @ 12/25/2007 9:37:55 AM

        If we had some real guts in the members of Congress, we would have a bigger disgraced Geo W Bush. This man did not commit sexual offenses; rather HE LIED ABOUT WMD'S, SOMETHING WHICH CONCERNS LIFE ITSELF. YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. We have had two disgraces in the last two presidents, one for each. Let's keep an open mind until election day.

    "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."
    Actually, there is no doubt that Hillary's proximity to the Oval Office, and the presidential bed, together with the fact of who she is, gave her unprecedented experience at hectoring the president, the one at whose desk the buck really stops, from the shadows, from the place that leaves "no fingerprints". It is doubtful whether this is genuinely good preparation for the responsibilities of the presidency. One can't help but wonder who Hillary will phone to swear at when it's herself who has to make the tough political calls and can't get 100% of what she wants.
    The fact that, had she had her own way, even the last version of the welfare reform bill would have been vetoed, should make us very afraid of a Hillary presidency.
    I wouldn't have voted for Hillary, anyway, but as a rule I've been able to accept it even when my favorite hasn't won the White House, with a "life goes on" attitude. After reading this article, however, I think it will be different this time. This article fills me with a true dread at the prospect of Hillary in the Oval Office.
    All the same, ironically, I sort of hope she gets the Dem nomination. I think she'll lose in November.

    Go Hillary, Go! Being a B tch is necessary, when dealing with the political agenda. So, she had a hand in Bill's Presidency. Thnak God! Because as far as I am concered, he was one of the BEST Presidents America ever had, even with his "bad behavior". But, don't think, for one minute, that Bill got away with ANYTHING more horrrible than having to deal with Hillary. I support Hillary for President 08!

    American people are not ready yet to elect a woman president, even though we claim to be the most liberal and open society in the world. Especially the southern belt where women practically have no rights and very little education, despise her. Remember what happened in South carolina with McCain?? I think she is going to lose because this country is going backwards towards mediveal times and pretty soon we will have to be cross waving white evangelicals to live here. Rest will be second class citizens. If you believe in evolution and stem cells, you will be dubbed unpatriotic. Hillary stands no chance to win.

  • Posted By: evanlobb @ 12/25/2007 8:54:21 AM

    Hillary is a calculating b__tch who is not telling the whole truth. She has a lot of hidden agenda. Obama is the real agent for "change" that Hillary has been trying to impart. Obama is a uniter which is needed nationally and globally during this time. And he is TRUSTWORTHY!

  • Posted By: ernieford @ 12/25/2007 8:14:16 AM

    I am sure that there are a lot of First Ladies that got into the meddle of politics...the big name that comes to mind is Nancy Reagan. There were no news articles at the time of how she was involved in her husband's affairs. The fact that this journalist chose to write an article casting Hillary in her most unfavorable light at this particular time in history is as devious as the race gets...American politics doesn't ever change, because we just keep getting 'the same old thing' from journalism, not the candidates themselves.

  • Posted By: eddiewhere @ 12/25/2007 4:41:41 AM

    The Clintons are my second choice. Statistically they would make the correct decisions most of the time and they have great ideas however it only take one big time error in judgement to mess us up. I think Obama just has the right instinct to make the correct big time judgements. I think Bill Clinton is doing great work now and so is Hillary hopefully they understand why the majority will vote for OBAMA.

    • Posted By: sparky716 @ 12/25/2007 7:52:11 AM

      the blacks will but it will take all americans to elect a president...just because you play the race card with oprah wont do it..it think bill was called the first black president because he was president of all americans

    "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.
