I am in the NYC area, and like a lot of people I am happy the Olympics are not coming here. I know there's another side to the argument, but I just thought it would be a lot of hassle and a money-loser.
As for Sen Clinton, I cannot for the life of me understand how liberals and feminists can champion this woman for essentially riding her husband's coattails. Supposedly her contacts gained when her husband was President were going to help. If Laura bush tried that the left would be screaming from the rooftops! But there's a lot of criticisms I could raise about Hillary now, aren't there - I don't have all day!
I predict (hope!!!) that Hillary will be like the EU constitution - loved by the elites but rejected by the people once they are asked for their votes. Let's hope the Reopublicans can keep it together and she is thwarted.
Laura bush = Laura Bush
Me too. I live in Queens and I work in Manhattan. Just the thought of the mess that the Olympics will bring to this city in regards to traffic, security and money lost is a big turn off.
I suspect that those very contacts gained when her husband was president should be investigated. Their contacts with the Chinese was nothing advantageous for our country. That she thought she could rely on them now is not good news for us.
