Make sure you've swallowed your coffee before reading this. Otherwise you'll spit it out all over your computer. I don't even have to see the interview to know she's lying through her teeth.

[CPT Clay]

Not called a congenital liar for nothing.

[Lost Dutchman]

Isn't there a little piece of paper. I am sure she isn't familiar with it. I believe it is called the Constitution that decides what powers are conferred to which branch?

[tophat9000]

Considering the Clinton’s excel at using illegal criminal powers in secret and the dark of night... what does she care about what power’s that are legal and above board

[bobwoodard]

Don’t forget she’s a lawyer. All she says was that she ‘intends’ to do ‘it’. My reading of the quote is that she ‘intends’ a review, but says nothing about actually giving up Executive Power.

[Cicero]

Liberals always use words differently from the rest of us.

In this context, and after careful parsing, what she means is that she will give up any effort to defend the US against its enemies, especially if they agree to contribute to her campaign funds and Swiss bank accounts.

It doesn’t mean, however, that this powerdrunk manipulator will give up her power. She will merely use it in different directions, as she and her husband did earlier, spying on her American enemies in what she refers to as the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, rather than bothering about Muslim terrorists or Russian and Chinese Communist spies.

Bush is concerned about defending our country against its enemies. The clintons are only concerned about defending themselves against their personal enemies.

There, fixed it.

Clinton Says She’d Give Up Some Powers
***And she’s selling ocean front property in Nebraska. Weird thing is, people are buying it.

[Centurion2000]

If elected president in 2008, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton would consider giving up some of the executive powers President Bush and Vice President Cheney have assumed since taking office

That would be like Palpatine stepping down and saying "My bad" ...

just ain't gonna happen

[Nervous Tick]

I sure wish she’d give up that power she has over me that makes me want to puke every time I see her or hear her.

[KenHorse]

Among other things, they have pushed for warrantless wiretapping of terrorist suspects and the use of "signing statements" to justify ignoring or defying laws enacted by Congress.

Congress doesn't enact law you lying sack of s***. Laws only happen once the President signs it into Law or Congress overrides the President's veto

Therefore there is no way the President can "ignore or defy laws enacted by Congress"

[syriacus]

She’d do things secretly, and the Times won’t leak her secrets.

[Rummyfan]

If elected president in 2008, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton would consider giving up some of the executive powers President Bush and Vice President Cheney have assumed since taking office. In an interview published Tuesday in Guardian America, a Web site run by the London-based Guardian newspaper, Clinton denounced the Bush Administration's push to concentrate more power in the White House as a "power grab" not supported by the Constitution.

In the last eight years I have witnessed a power grab by Senate Democrats, and a Speaker of the House acting as a Secretary of State. I have not witnessed any power grab by the executive branch. As always, The Beast projects and lies in the same sentence.

[Billthedrill]

She Who Must Not Be Named will “consider” giving up executive power? Right. And I’ll consider voting for her. I don’t think either even will last more than a nanosecond.

[whatexit]

But she would maintain the tradition, just as every President before her, of peeing standing up.

[lilylangtree]

No way will the hildebeast give up anything. To even think in that direction is utter stupidity.

[NormsRevenge]

All fine and good, but will she give up the broomstick?

[diverteach]

Ya, she’d give up some power alright, directly to the UN.

[TomGuy]

Clinton replied, "Oh, absolutely ... I mean, that has to be part of the review that I undertake when I get to the White House, and I intend to do that."

Clinton-speak. She will say anything that she thinks furthers her effort to win the Oval Office.

Give up power? Yeh, right. This from the lady who has a million ideas that we cannot afford.
