Sen. Clinton: I couldn’t love you more if I tried.

I don’t mind Hillary talking about politics. But when it comes to family and morals, I find the Clinton family sad and depressing. Have we forgotten the 1990’s already? I can understand that she wants to get back into the White House, but she’s not getting my vote.

How can any Mother hear Hillary Clinton lie and not say anything about it. She pray on people like us that love our children and what this country to change and have a better place to raise our children. She has lied about her daugther and 911 telling that she was joging around the twin towers when the plane hit. And the truth was she was at a friend house. I am not going to relect Bill Clinton into office again

If you read her books and do your research, you will find that she does not lie. Hillary’s news is 9 times out of 10 mis-represented by a media that is made of white men who are somewhat mysogynist; possibly even subconsciously. The Bosnia trip was a bit of an exaggeration, yes, but the reality was that she had taken three planes/helicopters that day, had worn or sat on bullet-proof vests, and she sat in the cockpit away from others in order to be protected in case there was sniper fire … as it was happening in the hills. She was speaking to generals and men of the military when she spoke the “gunfire” bit…I don’t think it right to call it a downright LIE. This is politics. Do your history. The fact that she is in this playing a man’s game is a miracle. The fact that she raised such a great healthy daughter is amazing. The fact that she stayed with Bill (who yes has problems but hey - how many woman did JFK have in the white house..what a saint he was?) for the sake of her family and because she forgave him…to me is noble. Bill has learned his lesson - he came from a rocky rocky family with a mother setting a horrible example. We really need a woman in power now to set a strong example for your young girls and woman of America, all colors and nationalities. Hillary will do that … setting a fine example to the woman of America on the right ways to get power…not through your body or sex but with determination, a brilliant mind and hard, hard work. Read her books…you will be impressed.

Well JFK (Jackie was a great First Lady) wasn’t a saint either, but his affairs were covered up whereas Bill Clinton has been having affairs since he was governor and he brought them into the White House and he lied to millions on TV. We don’t need that kind of baggage in the White House again. I believe we need a REAL change and that’s Obama. VOTE FOR OBAMA.

JFK’s affairs were well known to the Press and Media of that day. They chose not to report on these as did the other politicians (who also had their affairs). However, if JFK was President during the 1990’s and now, his affairs would have been all over the news. That said, it is not important for me to know about this. It should be a personal and family matter and each person should be allowed to make their own decisions without me or any one else passing judgment. Anyway, this was a great interview. Senator Clinton shared her personal experiences in parenting and demonstrated her iconic knowledge on family issues. I am deeply impressed with how she is able to express such a breadth of knowledge on any subject. She will make a great President and she has already demonstrated to young women and girls, that yes, the Presidency of the United States is open to them.

I don’t understand why Bill’s problem is not a problem for all of us. Do you think it reflects will on the country to have a “first husband” with a sex problem. Do we really wnat Hillary to have to watch him 24/7 to make sure that another Monica isn’t hurt. Another question is the record of Billary with respect to affiars. Most marriages in which there is one cheater there are really two. I assume Hillary had dalliances as well. Otherwise, why would she be so willing to forget her husbands behavior. Could it explain Vince Forster’s death? Let’s explore that one.

But Bill does not have a “sex problem” — he was immature and set a horrendous role model for us all then. I do think that people change… Do you believe in the idea that once we are educated on things that we can change our behavior? I do. I do not think Hillary would run if she felt Bill would embarrass her again..and us all, again. Why is he working so hard for her? And then again, think about it; why would HIllary EVER want to be in that White House again if she truly truly did not believe that she could change America’s course from being business-like to being human-like. Don’t you want a person in power.. the most powerful person in the world … be one who, too, has raised children and understands, as YOU DO, the needs of women, wives, mothers, young girls AS WELL as men? It is our time. Please don’t hesitate.

Rebecca, Are you really that gullible? She has lied time and time again while campaigning and blaming men for her lies is not the answer. I would love to support her as I have support a great deal of women in all walks of life, but I can not over-look a person telling me a lie just to get my support. That’s just as bad as a man telling me that he loves me just to get in my bed. We as women can not allow another women to take advantage of us just because men have done it time and time again. If we want to taken serious and given respect we must demand that from everyone. Voting for her just to say we have a women in the white house does nothing for women rights and equality it just validates that we can be easily fooled. She did a great thing by going to Bosnia she did not have to lie about it. She also has had ample time to pass legislation for health care while being a senator, why has she not done that. She claims that she will be tough on China but championed NAFTA in the past and opened the door for numerous jobs to leave. Don’t get me wrong I’m all about Sister-hood, but I’m not about being lied to by anyone male or female and you should have more respect for yourself and your daughters if you have any.

How can Hilary boast about spending time with Chelsea? She had babysitters hired to take care and raise Chelsea, that’s right, being such a successful woman and social life I don’t see how she had time to spend with Chelsea??? Lies again. Why does she have to lie all the time??

Lynda, I don’t believe Hillary had any affairs because the Republican Party would have aired that. I do believe she stayed for more economical and political reasons. Trust me Hillary has planned her run for the White House long before Monica, and Monica was not the first affair, remember there were three others in Arkansas that came to light. She did not want to be out of politics and she knew that she would need Bill’s connections and friends to do so. I saw that when they put down roots in New York insted of PA, Il, or AK. Now you tell me do you think anybody male or female can run for the presidency as a divorced candidate. She stayed with Bill out of necessity and ambition, not love, not honor, not family. I liken her to a trophy wife that allows her husband to do what ever he wants as long as he is financially successful and meets her needs. She wants to be a power player in politics and she feels that with Bill she would be able to do just that easier than without him. These are my gut feeling.

AniFan, You really have to try just to love someone that will lie to you with a straight face and when called on it her only response is not an apology but a flipped response of, “oh well that just mean that I’m human”. Do you really want a president that would dismiss you and your belief in being truthful. We as women have to NOT allow people in key positions of our government not to use our votes against our best interests. To many times in the past since our sufferage politicians have used our votes to put them over the top and have not returned the favor. We still are not looked at as equals in pay and benefits. She has yet to mention anything about this. Do you think she cares, she and her husband has made over $100 million over the past 6 years, have you? I’m a single parent due to the death of my husband. What has she offered to help single moms to climb the financal ladder in our country? At least Obama has identified that he recognize the need to improve our future due to being raised by a single mom. So I choose him.

Who is Elite? who is out of touch.. Put down the Blackberies?? OMG..! She assumes we poor single moms have a Blackberry? The unemployed have Blackberries? We’re loosing our homes..but we kept the Blackberry to protect us from the cold…? What is she smoking? Well.. we can put gas in our cars. And we can get coffee from the quick-stop.. She is as Plastic as a Blackberry..!

I loved this interview. It is sad when the Obama bloggers can come and try to make her look bad. It goes to show how much it is being fueled from the Obama campaign. I think we are all better than this. She was giving personal accounts of her life. Let the first stone be thrown by the person with no sins. Again, this reminds me of an editorial wrote previously stating “But what worries me is that he(obama) is seen as unifying by his race while she(hillary) is seen as divisive by her sex. ” It is sad to say that even women blogging here are doing this and using the republican aatacks she was given in the White House. I challenge all of you to move beyond this and share our common ground.

Reading over some of your comments makes me absolutely sick. If you don’t like Hillary, don’t read the blogs. Move on with your sad and pathetic lives.

I think it is funny how people are here saying absolutely crazy things. Hillary and Bill had people killed now? hmm. Women are so ugly some times. We would rather tear each other to shreds than empathize with someone in a difficult position. My mom was cheated on for years by my father and since she had worked to educate him and was not able to support her 5 children by the time she found out, she stayed with him for several years so that she could get us through school before she left. How easily we forget that many of our fathers have cheated, grandfathers, and beyond. Women throughout history have stayed for every imaginable reasons and it is disgusting to me and makes me ashamed to be a women and read this and realize that we all forget that we have no idea what other people’s situations are. How can we honeslty sit here and judge someone so meanly, but not question at all what her motive would be. Maybe it is that she truly does care about the people of this country and wantst o do something to help us out. At least with her, i know what she wants to do and how she wants to do it. All I hear from the other candidate is that there is going to be change and it is going to be because of Hope. Well what change and what does hope have to do with it? She knows what she stands for and what needs to happen to help the american people and she does it.

This one great thing about this is how the little video player arrow ends up strategically on Hilary’s nose. It gives her a strange robotic look to match her message. It’s better than a mustache and glasses!

On Motherhood —- During the entire 1992 campaignlasting over a year, Hillary was only away from her daughter 9 times. She was voted mother of the year 2x and her friends complained because when Chelsea was a child she took her with her whenever she visited them. On Experience — Hillary introduced 2600 bills to Congress, only Senator the Department of Defense chose to serve on their anti-terrorist task force TAG, Started office of Abuse for Women and Children, Cut kids in Foster Care by 50%, introduced and passed more bills caring for Soldiers than any other senator including suicide prevention and post traumatic stress disorder, Redid Arkansas’ education system and took them from 50th to 14th, she did legal work for the Watergate trials, her disertations on Child Abuse and Child Rights revolutionized the legal field are the most cited documents in ANY Child rights or abuse cases, Jimmy Carter appointed her to head the National legal board for 4 years, she dealt with aftermath of 9/11 and got 1st responders help when gov’t refused, got internet database so you can look up sex offenders in your neighborhood, got $9Billion to protect US cities and targets from terrorists attacks, only 1 of 3 females to be given the Armed Forces’s Intrepid Freedom Award along with Margaret Thatcher and Madeleine Albright. Cheating Presidents — all but 3 presidents cheated on their wives and 2 had an illegitimate children. Cheating husbands — 50% of American men cheat on their wives. Does that mean all those wives aren’t good at their careers or are bad mothers?

It is sad to see the Obama supporters tearing down Hillary. FYI, the media has given Obama a free ride until the last few weeks, and even then gloss over the negatives. The Democratic leadership has annointed Obama the nominee and has been trying to shove Hillary out for months. Just like so much of corporate America - the experienced woman should get out of the way of the younger man with little experience. Hillary is working twice as hard for and given little credit. Yes, she has had advantages much of us don’t, but she is the one that believes every mom (and dad) counts and deserves to have advantages. She is the one that believes every child counts, and every family deserves health care coverage. Repeating media lies doesn’t make them facts, it just exposes the sleaze of the repeater.
