Hillary and Bill Clinton drama begins to tarnish Barack Obama's takeover Tim Reid and Tom Baldwin in Washington Barack Obama sought to stamp out signs of discord yesterday as his team blamed Bill and Hillary Clinton for tarnishing the presidential transition with the type of psychological drama and leaks that marked their years in the White House. As the uncertainty over whether Mrs Clinton would accept the job of Secretary of State dragged on, aides from both camps were engaged in anonymous briefings that echoed the bitter exchanges of their marathon primary battle earlier this year. After the Obama camp...

Sources within Hillary Clinton’s campaign say the New York Senator’s name is likely to be placed in nomination in Denver — at the insistence of the Obama campaign. Clinton had originally said she would NOT sign a document allowing a vote to be held on her nomination; aides thought it could be divisive, and worried that it could make her seem weak, since many of her nearly 1900 delegates would almost certainly not vote for her almost 3 months after she formally conceded. But in listening to her staunch supporters — those who are still bitter over the way she...

Deal: Clinton's Name Will Be Placed in Nomination at Dems Convention August 14, 2008 11:09 AM ABC News' Kate Snow reports: A deal has been brokered between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that will allow Clinton's name to be placed in nomination at next week's Democratic nominating convention, sources close to the Clinton camp told ABC News. "Both sides agree that it is in the best interest of party unity and making sure that everyone's voice and vote is honored to make sure her name is put into nomination," a person close the negotiations said. "It's to honor everyone...

I have been reading for some time about Barack Hussein Obama's birth certificate controversy. At first I dismissed it because I thought there was no way the Democratic Party would allow someone who is not qualified to run for the office of President. I now understand that at least half of the state attorney generals in the country will challenge Obama’s residency before certifying his nomination. Lawsuits will be filed to clarify Obama’s birth in the United States. Until today I simply believed that Obama was born in Hawaii. After doing some research I found it is not so clear...

HILLARY Clinton would be the Democrats' White House nominee today if former presidential hopeful John Edwards had come clean earlier about an extra-marital affair, a top aide to Senator Clinton believes. "I believe we would have won Iowa, and Clinton today would therefore have been the nominee," Howard Wolfson, who was the combative communications director for Senator Clinton's doomed campaign, said on ABCNews.com today. Mr Wolfson also said Senator Clinton's campaign knew about the affair but kept quiet. "Any of the campaigns that would have tried to push that would have been burned by it," he said. Former senator Mr...

andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com — A tough new video montage shows footage of Clinton from 1992 through 2008 from her first 60 Minutes interview to her lies about sniper fire, NAFTA, and Iraq. At this point, Hillary Clinton has no one left to lie to.

NEW YORK (CBS) ― Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton hinted at the possibility of a democratic "dream ticket" with Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking on the Early Show on CBS, Clinton said "that may be where this is headed, but we have to decide who is on the top of the ticket." Clinton said the race between her and Obama remains "incredibly close," with just "smidgens of difference" between them. Clinton's remarks after her campaign won two big states yesterday: Ohio and Texas. She also won Rhode Island. The wins enabled her campaign to break Obama's 12-state winning streak and pick up...

“This is so nostalgic,” Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton LAW ’73 declared upon entering the Yale Child Study Center on Monday morning. Clinton’s reminiscence was not unexpected — Monday’s roundtable discussion with women at the Child Study Center did, after all, mark the first time she has come to Yale since announcing her campaign for president last January. But it also amounted to Yale’s first appearance on the 2008 presidential race stage — a stark contrast to past contests that have featured, as in 2004, three Eli frontrunners and dueling members of Skull and Bones. The senator, whose pit stop...

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Republican John McCain and Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton were victors in contentious nominating contests, but neither party can claim front-runners as early presidential contests give way to big-state battles. McCain, an Arizona senator, bested Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, in a South Carolina fight that focused on the economy. McCain was defeated here in 2000 by George W. Bush. "Thank you, my friends, and thank you, South Carolina, for bringing us across the finish line first in the first-in-the-South primary. It took us a while. But what's eight years among friends," McCain told a boisterous...

...But Hillary herself, with her thin, spotty record, tangled psychological baggage, and maundering blowhard of a husband, is also a mighty big roll of the dice. She is a brittle, relentless manipulator with few stable core values who shuffles through useful personalities like a card shark ("Cue the tears!"). Forget all her little gold crosses: Hillary's real god is political expediency. Do Americans truly want this hard-bitten Machiavellian back in the White House? Day one will just be more of the same.

I have yet to decide for whom I will vote much less who I will support in the process. I might have supported John McCain, but he shot himself in the foot with his openly pro-illegal immigration stance then had the temerity to badmouth those of us who oppose illegal, (repeat for those who need to have it pointed out to them), ILLEGAL immigration; then, I might just vote for Ron Paul, but he's so far right, he's left. Then there's Romney or Biden, they certainly have the distinguished looks for the role, but there's something about Biden on the...

Is it a giggle or a screech? At least it's not a Dean scream. Here's the skinny on the most searched for political tics: To some it's a cackle, to others a giggle. A few have even called Hillary's laugh evil. As the 2008 presidential race heats up, a candidate's gestures and expressions can end up counting for more than they bargained for. And history tells us that mannerisms can make or break a campaign. Don't agree? Just ask Howard Dean... http://search.live.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-us&q=Hillary's+cackle&FORM=MSNHAL

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher (D-CA) today introduced legislation in both chambers of Congress to help prevent nuclear terrorism. The Nuclear Terrorism Prevention Act of 2006 would create a senior advisor to the President to focus solely on preventing nuclear terrorism. The bill would also require the President to develop a comprehensive plan to work with the international community to secure the nuclear materials that terrorists could use to build a nuclear weapon. Senator Clinton announced that she would introduce this legislation in a major address to the Council on Foreign Relations on October 31. In...

Hope it's not a duplicate post. I Couldn't find if the original pic was posted here before or not. I added the text to "capture the moment". It's Not Just A Gun...It's My "HOMELAND DEFENSE RIFLE"!!

The book signing was scheduled for 10am. We planned to meet at 9:30. I was the 1st there and the line was in the front, around the side of the entire block and around the back.

To listen to the more demented segments of the media and the Democrats, President Bush’s Thanksgiving day visit to the troops in Baghdad was a cynical "stunt." However, Hillary Clinton’s visit to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan was an act of the “compassion” for which the woman the American Spectator’s Bob Tyrrell used to call "Bruno," is so famous. To accept that notion, one has to overlook the reaction of the troops to the two visits, but then overlooking inconvenient facts is one of the things our super-liberal media does best. When George Bush strode into that gigantic mess hall,...

Hillary: Bush Using Gay Marriage To Distract From War, Economy October 14, 2003 Gfn.com News In strongly worded condemnations of the Bush administration, New York Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chuck Schumer on Monday blasted the president and the Republican leadership for the direction it is taking America. In a 20-minute speech at the New York Pride Agenda's annual fundraising dinner, Clinton likened the administration to a roll-back of the clock to a time when "they didn?t have to deal with women or gays or anybody else." Clinton warned that Republicans will attempt to use the proposed Marriage Amendment to...
