After Obama win, Clinton warns of "false hopes" (Here Comes Unelectable!!)
Reuters ^ | Jan 4, 2008 | Claudia Parsons

NASHUA, New Hampshire (Reuters) - New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, reeling from defeat in Iowa at the hands of Barack Obama, urged Democratic voters on Friday not to build up "false hopes" by choosing an inexperienced presidential candidate.

In Iowa, which kicked off the process of choosing the next U.S. president with its caucuses on Thursday, the former first lady finished a disappointing third, nine percentage points behind Obama and narrowly behind former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards............"

........."We can't have false hopes. We've got to have a person who can walk into that Oval office on day one and start doing the hard work that it takes to deliver change," she said.

Asked how disappointed she was about Iowa, Clinton said: "I was never a front-runner of any significance in Iowa. Iowa, I knew, was always going to be hard for me."

"I feel that we executed what we thought was the limit of what we could produce in Iowa under the circumstances that we were facing," she told reporters at a cafe in Manchester.

CLINTON AHEAD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

A Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Friday put Obama within striking distance of Clinton in New Hampshire. She led Obama 32 percent to 26 percent, with Edwards in third place but the poll was taken before the Iowa results......"

Hillary has experience. She was in the WH for 8 years.
But then again, so was the pastry chef.

She experienced eight years in the White House when her husband, Bill Clinton, was president from 1993 to 2001. Earlier, she had served as a congressional legal counsel and a lawyer.

Yeah, she “experienced” it, all right!

Now everyone should ask for release of her "first lady" records". If not then Obama has her "Checkmated".

Changes are coming no doubt. But, change for the sake of change and with a deliberate bias toward socialism is hardly reasonable.

Absolutely. I'd love to have an ear at the campaign HQ after these results came in. Knowing the foul mouth she has, I'll bet the ear would have blisters on it! Couldn't have happened to a nicer bitc...err...person.

Hildabeast has experience?

Failing to keep hubby from the interns is not exactly “experience”. Trying, and failing, to push a health care plan only Joe Stalin could support is not “experience”.

If Hills is nominated, her only hope is that the GOP picks a candidate who ticks off conservative GOP voters. Otherwise she loses in the general election

Presidents are only supposed to serve TWO terms!

Hillary Rodham Clinton shouldn’t even be allowed
to re-enter the Presidency, because this will be # THREE!

Hillary is claiming this scam as “experience”
using this legal-deceit as a crown of glory!

The Clinton’s served TWO Terms: All that the
Constitution allows, except for married-scummy-lawyers!

EVERY President will be walking in “new” on DAY ONE,
and that’s the way we like it!!!

((She is such a creepy Goebbells worm!!))

"We can't have false hopes." - Hillary Clinton

(Ah... that's so sweet!)

Hillary to a crowd of young and old Black Voters:

Now, you just go on back to what you were doing!"
"You give up on this silly "hope" thing!"

"A Black Man for President? MY WORD!"

"Your vote is just a dream, a dream you can not use!"

"That's right -- Go Home! --
The White-Missus-with-Chunky-Thighs will take care of you!"

You don't even need to be from Iowa to vote in the caucus. You are supposed to be from Iowa and you could get in legal trouble for posing as an Iowan but it's not really enforced...except by the old lady in the back who knows everyone in her precinct.

My guess that a lot of fanatical liberal students from Illinois came and voted for Obama. Thus, Obama gains a measure of legitimacy that he lacked before.

Personally, I think he's more dangerous than Hillary. He'll increase entitlements more than Hillary, destroy our foreign policy, and withdraw troops from Iraq which would cause Iraq to implode.

Maybe that's why the terrorists are so quiet right now, eh? They watch our political process and the rest of the world watches it more than perhaps many Americans do.

Perhaps I should have kept my registration marked democrat and voted for Hillary in the primary and then vote FRed in the general election.

She of course should’ve said “We did what we could in Iowa”
but Hillary and her supporters get paid by the word, and besides, it’s more comforting to waste that much verbiage when someone else is paying for it.

We need Hillary to be the nominee. Michael Reagan said he would vote for her in the CA primary just to keep Obama out. IMHO, I think that Bill wants her to lose; he is making enough money as it is, and then he could divorce her and marry one of Sardozky’s leftovers.

Carter used to talk like this: As though there was a big pile of “work” on the President’s desk, labeled “Things that need changing.” As the hostage crisis dragged on and on, and inflation accelerated, it was said that Carter was “working hard” and “trying.” As though “effort” was somehow involved. What is staying up all night and living on pizza supposed to accomplish if you are stupid, evil, and cowardly? What was needed was someone who had some intelligence, integrity, and courage. Reagan. Of course, since both are baby killers, neither the Rapist’s wife or Hussein is the right person for the job.

Hillary is playing the racial card with these words. In others he cannot win because he is black and the USA is not ready for a black president. I would think Obama and the media would call her out on this.

We must savor this moment. We are so fortunate to be able to see our most villified enemy being torn to pieces right before our eyes. Remember the joy of Bush’s first election night? And then the second? Remember how much fun it was to check out DU and see what they were saying? This is even better. We get euphoria in Iowa, and then, JUST ONE WEEK LATER, we get to do it again in NH!!! And then we do it again the next week, and the next, and the next.... It’s just too good for words. Of course, my statements are predicate on Hillary continually losing, but that’s looking like a very strong possibility right now. The best part is her ego will not let her concede defeat until she’s been pummeled in about 450 primaries. I’m buying stock in Orville Redenbacker!!

Hillary sings "Unelectable" to Obama

To the tune of

Unforgettable

Unelectable, that's what you are
Unelectable, though you lead by far
Like some doggy doo that clings to me
The thought of you in charge does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unelectable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
Because, Barack, you're not respectable
You took drugs that were injectable
And you think I am unelectable, too

Unelectable in every way
And thanks to Clinton Inc., that's how you'll stay
I was inevitable
The pundits all said it was true
So, I'll have to make you unelectable
By using every dirty subtle racist clue

Unelectable in every way
Clean, articulate, but that won't play
Blacks, Barack, they are objectable
And I'll make you unelectable
Even if I'm unelectable, too
