The World Condemns Obama Deployment of Hillary Clinton

U.S. Condemned For Pre-Emptive Use Of Hillary Clinton Against Pakistan

Smart Diplomacy: Hillary Goes Off Script, Clarifications Follow

We seem to be hearing quite a lot of this.

At a press conference in New Delhi on July 20, she was asked by an Indian reporter whether the United States opposed the transfer of sensitive reprocessing and enrichment nuclear technology from India to other countries.

"Well, clearly, we don't," she said. "We have just completed a civil nuclear deal with India. So if it's done within the appropriate channels and carefully safeguarded, as it is in the case of India, then that is appropriate."

The Indian reporter got excited, because what he heard was a policy change. Since the beginning of the U.S.-Indian negotiations on the civil nuclear deal in 2005, both the Bush and Obama administrations have refused to allow India to transfer sensitive technology, citing proliferation concerns. Now Mrs. Clinton was saying the opposite.

Smart Diplomacy

Name calling.

The United States and North Korea fell into an acrimonious exchange on Thursday, with the North Korean government ridiculing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton as a “schoolgirl” and a “pensioner,” two days after she referred to their leaders as “unruly children.”

I'm certain that more than a few North Koreans are wondering what a "pensioner" is.

Hillary's Pay For Play

Hillary Clinton auctions off her own senate seat.

Secretary of State appointee Hillary Rodham Clinton intervened at least six times in government issues directly affecting companies and others that later contributed to her husband's foundation, an Associated Press review of her official correspondence found.

The overlap of names on former President Bill Clinton's foundation donor list and business interests whose issues she championed raises new questions about potential ethics conflicts between her official actions and her husband's fundraising. The AP obtained three of the senator's government letters under the Freedom of Information Act.

Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along.

To anyone who has paid the slightest attention to the Clintons, the only surprising element about this story is that it was posted by the Associated Press.

Hillary: Obama Doesn't Pass The Commander-In-Chief Test

But, John McCain does

Guess What? Hillary's A Liar

Who knew?

A decade before Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton admitted fudging the truth during the presidential campaign, federal prosecutors quietly assembled hundreds of pages of evidence suggesting she concealed information and misled a federal grand jury about her work for a failing Arkansas savings and loan at the heart of the Whitewater probe, according to once-secret documents that detail the internal debates over whether she should have faced criminal charges.

I'm shocked!

The Democrats' Flawed Candidates

Congratulations to Operation Chaos. The protracted primary battle has revealed that the Democrats have two deeply flawed candidates.

Mrs. Clinton started as a deeply flawed candidate: the palpable and unpleasant sense of entitlement, the absence of a clear and optimistic message, the grating personality impatient to be done with the little people and overly eager for a return to power, real power, the phoniness and the exaggerations. These problems have not diminished over the long months of the contest. They have grown. She started out with the highest negatives of any major candidate in an open race for the presidency and things have only gotten worse.

And what of the reborn Adlai Stevenson? Mr. Obama is befuddled and angry about the national reaction to what are clearly accepted, even commonplace truths in San Francisco and Hyde Park. How could anyone take offense at the observation that people in small-town and rural American are "bitter" and therefore "cling" to their guns and their faith, as well as their xenophobia? Why would anyone raise questions about a public figure who, for only 20 years, attended a church and developed a close personal relationship with its preacher who says AIDS was created by our government as a genocidal tool to be used against people of color, who declared America's chickens came home to roost on 9/11, and wants God to damn America? Mr. Obama has a weakness among blue-collar working class voters for a reason.

I must boast here that I was a guerilla fighter for Operation Chaos long before El Rushbo marshaled the dittoheads. I cast a vote for Hillary, trying to keep her candidacy alive, in the Washington primary, which predates Limbaugh's Operation Chaos.

Hillary Clinton - A Real Man

Cheap whiskey and cheap beer.



She really will go anything to get elected.

Hillary's Anticrime Program = More Criminals On The Street

Hillary Clinton proposes to fight crime by keeping criminals out of jail.

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton is proposing to spend $4 billion a year on anti-crime measures, including programs meant to reduce the number of ex-convicts who return to prison.

Hillary Caught In Another Lie

It's a real tearjerker. An expectant mother is denied medical care because she doesn't have insurance and the hospital won't admit her unless she can pre-pay the hospital $100 upfront. There's just one problem with the story - it's untrue.

The woman, Trina Bachtel, did die last August, two weeks after her baby boy was stillborn at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio. But hospital administrators said Friday that Ms. Bachtel was under the care of an obstetrics practice affiliated with the hospital, that she was never refused treatment and that she was, in fact, insured…
Linda M. Weiss, a spokeswoman for the not-for-profit hospital, said the Clinton campaign had never contacted the hospital to check the accuracy of the story, which Mrs. Clinton had first heard from a Meigs County, Ohio, sheriff’s deputy in late February…

Of course, her opponent seems to have an even more difficult relationship with the truth. At least Hillary stops repeated the lie once she's been busted. Obama just keep saying it over and over again.

Hillary Lied, What's New? It's At Least A 35 Year Habit

Hillary Clinton was fired as an attorney while working for the House Judiciary Committee that was considering impeachment proceedings against Richard Nixon. Her offense - lying.

Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

Why?

“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

Actually, as I recall, Democrats did snoop through Clarence Thomas's video rental records.

Hillary Clinton, Serial Liar

I don't think that CBS is suddenly pro-truth. I just think that they're in the tank for Obama. McCain will be next if Obama get the nomination.

John Murtha Endoses Hillary

A good week for Mrs. Clinton's campaign comes to an end.

Rep. John P. Murtha has announced his endorsement of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, bringing his clout as a 17-term member of the House and a prominent anti-war Democrat to bear with more than a month until the primary here in his home state.

“Sen. Clinton is the candidate that will forge a consensus on health care, education, the economy, and the war in Iraq,” Murtha wrote in a statement about his decision.

Murtha, who represents the 12th district of Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, was an early and sometimes inflammatory critic of the Iraq war. As a retired Marine Corps colonel and the first combat veteran of Vietnam elected to serve in Congress, Murtha’s voice on Clinton’s behalf could prove especially valuable in both inoculating her from anti-war criticism and bolstering her claim that she is the most qualified to serve as commander-in-chief. That message is the backbone of Clinton’s appearances this week.

When You've Lost Saturday Night Live, Have You Lost America?

It was at least a dozen years ago when I read that far more Americans relied upon late night talk show comedians for their news than the network news anchors. In fact a plurality of the poll’s respondents identified late night comedians as their primary news source. And today, Jon Stewart’s Daily Show stands as the most watched “news” program on cable television. The program boasts that more people depend upon the Daily Show as their news source than should. And, as Saturday Night Live showed recently, it seems that comedians still hold more sway over voters than real journalists.
That’s probably because the mainstream media’s Obama swoon was becoming indistinguishable from Comedy Central parody. After all, who would you watch if you were looking for a good laugh, Steven Colbert or Katy Couric? The Obama worship services were approaching 1960’s Beatlemania proportions until Saturday Night Live spoofed a Democratic presidential debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. In that skit, the journalists treated the Obama character with undisguised slavish adulation, then fell into rapturous heavy breathing when he emitted a clichéd and vacuous response. It was quite convincing.
The You Tube video of the skit went viral and Hillary Clinton even referred to it during the next debate and followed up by wondering why the moderators didn’t start the debate by asking, “Barack if he's comfortable and needs another pillow.” The quip dripped with Clintonian petulance, but nevertheless resonated, although not with everyone.
The usually tough on everybody Tim Russert apparently had not seen the video and held fast to the Obamamania embraced long ago. During a January interview with Hillary Clinton on “Meet The Press,” Russert repeated a paragraph from Obama’s frequently cited speech in which he declared that he was not against all wars, just “dumb wars” and argued that Obama was “right all along.”
Whether or not Obama’s good fortune in finding himself properly positioned for Code Pink’s subsumption of the Democratic Party qualifies him as being “right all along” is a matter for another debate. It was Russert’s unqualified assertion that Hillary Clinton had been wrong all along that exposed his bias.
When Russert tried to show his toughness during the debate, he just couldn’t quite bring himself to close the deal. He noted that Obama’s Afrocentric church pastor praised the antisemitic Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan as one who “epitomizes greatness” and once traveled with Farrakhan to meet Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi. This should have been followed with a question about Obama’s judgment. After all, what Republican would be granted a pass for attending a Eurocentric church whose pastor travelled halfway around the world with a racist to genuflect before an egomaniacal totalitarian despot? Instead, the question he ultimately asked was nothing more than an escape hatch that provided Obama with an opportunity to reassure his “Jewish support.”
Good grief!
The days that followed were different. Suddenly Obama was being asked questions that he had previously been spared. What was his relationship with Tony Rezko? What other politician could possibly have gotten away with profiting from an indicted political fixer? Suddenly, the media were talking about Obama’s secret back channel conversations with the Canadian government where he reassured them that his threat to abrogate the North American Free Trade Agreement was only demagoguery meant to seduce the rubes in Ohio.
As the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank put it, Obama reacted as though he’d been “bitten by his own dog.”
The effect was dramatic. Exit polls in Texas showed that Clinton won 61%-38% among voters who had made up their minds in the final three days before the election. In 2004 Newsweek’s Evan Thomas claimed that the media bias in John Kerry’s favor would be worth 15% in the general election. In last Tuesday’s primary, a few days of honest scrutiny showed that Obama’s media support had been worth even more than that.
People who take themselves seriously and who wish to be taken seriously by others cannot bear getting laughed at. The Saturday Night Live skit worked as humor because it contained so much truth. In the end, journalists found that their own credibility was more valuable to them than an Obama presidency. And now, even the Daily Show is laughing at Obama. How far we’ve come. Now, politicians have to worry if they’ve lost Jon Stewart.

Hillary Wins!

Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island prolong the agony.
