If the timing came as a bit of surprise, nothing could have been less unexpected than Hillary's "I'm In" announcement of today.
But have a look at the video of her announcement. Rather than her "let's chat" rap, please focus on the background. Look out the door. Presumably the announcement was shot in one of Hillary's homes: Chappaqua or Georgetown. Now I know it's been a mild winter, but even so, surely the leaves are gone from the trees and bushes in either spot. And check out the yellow spot in the bushes. At first I thought it was just a warm dapple of sunshine. But freeze the frame when, about 1/4 of the way through, Hillary says "how to end the deficits that threaten Social Security." That's not sunshine -- those are flowers in bloom. The announcement is essentially content-free. All Hillary talks about is having a conversation. Not only is it devoid of any solutions, it notably fails to make reference to any specific current events. If this had been taped in the last couple days, could Hillary have resisted referring to her just-completed trip to Iraq? True, she does mention starting conversations "Monday," but it could have always been the plan to roll out the announcement over a weekend.
So, what's the story? Has Hillary had this video in the can since summer or early fall? Was it a carefully staged artificial background? Minor points in the great scheme of things, but perhaps interesting for us political junkie types.

She probably taped it ten years ago.
Good catch, governs. I was so spellbound with horror just looking at her face I didn't notice anything else.
Ha! Good catch.
Probably not a winter suit she's wearing either ...
Was it a carefully staged artificial background?
Yes.
Just global warming. She'll fix that, too.
Great stuff. I'm also sure it was done 10 years ago.
Thanks for the link to the socialist/collectivist's 1-way "conversation".
Run Hillary Run!
She probably taped it as soon as she moved into the house in Chappaqua and replays it three or four times a day.
Wouldn't you love to see a reporter ask Hillary when and where it was shot and see how she answers?
Hillary is an actor anyway, so it doesn't suprise me that this was a staged and (very) pretaped event. It is a good catch though. Flowers in Winter?
Yes.
I think it was a carefully staged artificial foreground, too.
I wonder how many cans of die and spray tan it took to prep her?
Global Warming® is the only thing that will ever make Hillary hot.
We need Perry Mason to review the tape ...
LOL - line 'o the day!!
What a Cheesey video.
Chroma key?
Hillary does have on her diamond cross necklace.
Most likely an Old Crusty retread.
Bill Clinton used to talk about the middle class and people who "play by the rules". Hillary just is quoting Bill verbatim in this video.
Does Hillary have any original thoughts? Or is she conditioned to have a re-run of Bill's campaigns?
Her own words are enough to hang her in the court of public opinion. That's the best she has in a staged pre-meditated opening statement? Sheesh.
Run Hillary Run!
WWVFD? (What Would Vince Foster Do?)
This was probably filmed at least a few years ago. Age hasn't been kind to her and she's getting uglier much more quickly with time.
Exactly!!
She made her move, maybe in response to the pressures of Obama.
I'm glad to see Obama and Edwards out there because they may deflate Hillary's balloon. Good God, she's been preparing for a coronation all these years. But at least there are some other serious Democrat candidates out there that she has to get through first.
Hillary is starting a conversation.....is that what she calls it?
My guess is Lucasfilm's studios at Skywalker Ranch with major special effects help from Industrial Light and Magic.
I found the constant back and forth panning distracting.
As much as I'd LOVE to catch her in something, I think the bush is a fine firred evergreen, and the yellow spots are spaces where you can see the sunny areas beyond the fir. It looks like bare bushes are at the base of the outdoor scene. Anyway, that is what it looke like to me.
Probably filmed in the White House. Obviously done last summer, no big surprise.
Someone should edit Lewinski in the window.

Down-to-Earth: Brown is a natural, down-to-earth neutral color. It is found in earth, wood, and stone.
Nature of Brown: Brown is a warm neutral color that can stimulate the appetite. It is found extensively in nature in both living and non-living materials.
Culture of Brown: Brown represents wholesomeness and earthiness. While it might be considered a little on the dull side, it also represents steadfastness, simplicity, friendliness, dependability, and health. Although blue is the typical corporate color, UPS (United Parcel Service) has built their business around the dependability associated with brown.
What scares me the most is that she looks like a younger, blond version of my mother. The resemblance is uncanny.

• Pale Pink Roses: Pale pink roses imply grace, gentleness, and joy.
• Light Pink Roses: Light pink roses express a sense of fun, happiness, and whimsy.
• Deep Pink Roses: Deep pink roses say, "Thank you."
• Lilac Roses: Lilac roses indicate the sender has fallen in love at first sight with the recipient and is enchanted. (To make sure the recipient doesn’t miss the message, an appropriate card might also be a good idea. The meaning of lilac roses isn’t as widely-known as the meaning of red roses, for instance.)
• White Roses: Pure white roses symbolize truth and innocence. They also send other messages like, "I miss you," and "You're heavenly” (or both, if your loved one is away.)
• Coral Roses: Coral roses express one thing through their passionate color: Desire.
• Peach Roses: Peach roses signify appreciation, gratitude, modesty, and also can convey sympathy.
Still fighting for HilaryCare and Abortion, how easy is she going to be to beat. Obama has her terrified.

What is with the camera panning from side to side like that?
As for the flowers ... that also could be daylight/sunlight shining through the branches .. it's hard to tell
Though I do like the filter they TRIED to use to smooth out her wrinkles .. especially the ones on her neck
That's a backdrop shot of Fort Marcy park. The bright, blooming flowers there are fertilized with blood.
Are you going entirely on the photo or did you view the video. No way is the yellow sunshine. Those are flowers.
EVERYTHING about the Clintons is carefully staged. She is, if nothing else, cunning, calculating and conniving.
I wondered about that, too. Weird.
Nice! You get a Buckhead award for this one. Clinton is pathetic.
Yes, now that you point that out I recognized it immediately. Drove by there just yesterday on my way up the GW Parkway. LOL!
