Slip of the tongue? Yesterday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” Hillary Clinton spoke about what she would do about licensing illegal immigrants when she is president again. Watch:

[rwa265]

Freudian slip?

[trumandogz]

it all depends on what the definition of again is, again and where she placed the comma in that sentence.

LOL Prolly not a slip. She’s been campaigning about her experience, but then also had said that the health care project was Bill’s plan. So then the other candidates said, well she has no real experience.

This is her effort to change the perception, assuming that if she repeats it, we believe it, rwa265. LOL

Without more context, it's hard for me to fault this.

She might have said this same thing earlier in the program, and was just using "again" meaning "I said this before."

[highlander_UW]

Well, if she was president before then she’s already served 2 terms and can’t run again.

[evad]

hmmm...not exactly, but close.

[IrishMike]

Un believable, her slow bleed continues !

[SoCalRight]

The real slip is that she is revealing her notes to herself — “got to keep trying to fix that immigration gaffe.” Again, again, again...

[freekitty]

Yeah, she can’t run again. She’s already served two terms.

[Astronaut]

This needs to be made into a GOP ad and run in every major market! The arrogance of that fat cow is astounding.

[rineaux]

She is a crafty person, however...

I Listened to the video/audio and read the transcript below. I read it some what like you do. She mentions that it was a federal issue, became a state issue and will be a federal issue again when she is president.

She is a crafty person, however, I agree

Thanks for posting! I couldn't believe my ears when Rush played the clip yesterday:


RUSH: This sound bite should be made into an ad right now.

Hillary Won't Be for States' Rights When She's "President Again"

Sorry - won't wash.

This wasn't taken out of context - we can hear for ourselves the conversation leading up to her slip of the mind...

[syriacus]

I'm bothered by the fact that she said, "when I am President," instead of "if I am elected President."

I realize she is not the only presidential candidate who says "when I am President," but the words sound especially presumptive when they come out of her mouth.

[Havisham]

Not a slip of the tongue. Even the mainstream media have commented that Hillary and her people assume she will be president if their use of tense is any indicator. I believe it was on 60 Minutes that her Latina chief of staff said she will take a year off after Hillary’s inauguration. And Hillary has said she does not now what she will encounter in foreign policy matters so she can’t say what she intends to do about Iran. In a side note, my daughter attended a Wellesley College visit at her high school, where the young representative said she will take a leave of absence during Hillary’s first year in the White House. Here’s hoping the American people correct their thinking.

I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president. - Hillary Clinton quote

[fish hawk]

No problem if we take it out of context. The lefties do it every day. It’s fair in politics. Ask Rush,Ann Coulter.

[Mr. Mojo]

If the bwitch accomplishes the improbable and wins the Presidency expect Bill to have plenty of “we’re the President” moments. ...although he very well could use “I” instead of “we.”
