Clinton in Iowa: "About time" for woman president

By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent2 hours, 11 minutes ago

Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton drew big crowds and loud cheers on Saturday during her first visit to Iowa as a presidential contender, defending her votes on Iraq and saying it was "about time" for a woman president.

In the state that holds the first contest in the 2008 presidential nomination battle, the former first lady said she thought Americans were ready for a woman in the Oval Office.

"It's about time, if not past time, we had a woman president," she told an enthusiastic and overflow crowd of 1,500 Iowa Democrats jammed into a high school gymnasium in Des Moines.

While some might wonder whether U.S. voters will elect a woman, she said, "I don't think we'll know until we try, and I'm going to try."

Earlier, at a meeting with state Democratic Party officials, she was asked about her 2002 vote to authorize the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. The New York senator, now a war critic, has been criticized for being slow to turn against the conflict and for her hesitance to renounce her vote.

"I've taken responsibility for my vote, but there are no do-overs in life. I wish there were. I acted on the best judgment I had at the time," she said. "The president took my vote and others' votes and basically misused the authority we gave him."

The trip was Clinton's first to Iowa since November 2003, when she hosted the state Democratic Party's annual fund-raising dinner featuring the candidates battling for the 2004 presidential nomination.

Feminism reveals its face again: "It's all about me."

Maybe....but just not her.

WTF???????

[goodnesswins]

"The president took my vote and others' votes and basically misused the authority we gave him."

Blaming someone else.....typical beatchhhhh

[Ken522]

The way she talks you'd think the Presidency was Hillary's by divine right ...

[oceanview]

we already had a woman in the oval office - HER.

and what did it brings us? her and her husband's stewardship of this nation's intelligence and defense apparatus for 8 years, led to 9-11 just 7 months after they left office.

[Doogle]

the former first lady said she thought Americans were ready for a woman in the Oval Office.

...we did have a woman in the oval office, and thanks to your slug of a husband, we changed the carpet

[Laverne]

Oh so typical hilly; pointing the finger of blame elsewhere. What a witch.

[SeaBiscuit]

"I've taken responsibility for my vote, but there are no do-overs in life. I wish there were. I acted on the best judgment I had at the time," she said. "The president took my vote and others' votes and basically misused the authority we gave him."

What a heaping stinking pile of crap, just like her.

[cripplecreek]

I saw her saying that people have told her that they wouldn't vote for a woman. It was clearly theatrical BS meant to insinuate that not voting for her makes you a chauvinist.

[Dinah Lord]

I can now look forward to hearing my husband mutter C*&^ (rhymes with stunt)everytime Hillary appears on television.

And based on what we are already seeing in Iowa, she will be on television all the freaking time from here til election day...

Woe is us....

[wickedpinto]

Sorry Dinah.

I don't use that word for hillary, but pretty much EVERYTIME I think of Cindy Sheehan.

But I understand what he is going through.

[EagleUSA]

"About Time for a Woman President"????
-----
No, it is not time for a Marxist, power-mad President that just happens to be a woman?...

[Miss Didi]

And based on what we are already seeing in Iowa, she will be on television all the freaking time from here til election day...

Let America get non-stop President Pantsuit until '08. To quote her pal Martha, "It's a good thing."

[EagleUSA]

God, what a reprehensible reprobate SOW. A total Marxist nut job.

[darkangel82]

God, what a reprehensible reprobate SOW. A total Marxist nut job.

Bears repeating lmao.

[Howlin]

I acted on the best judgment I had at the time," she said.

Ah, isn't that exactly what George Bush did, Hillary?

How about your husband, Missy?

[seekthetruth]

"I saw her saying that people have told her that they wouldn't vote for a woman. It was clearly theatrical BS meant to insinuate that not voting for her makes you a chauvinist."

I will be very proud to be a chauvinistic woman! I refused to watch her on TV today as it makes me ill to look at her!

[Howlin]

It appears to me she's had some coaching with her voice and laugh; she sounded girlish today.

[ErieGeno]

"The president took my vote and others' votes and basically misused the authority we gave him."

Uh, Ms Clinton, how did he do that? You know, 'misuse the authority' that you gave him? Can you please name the acts of misuse that you are talking about? Unless you can be specific about what 'misuse' GW Bush used, I would suggest that you apologize to him and in the future, please think before you open your mouth!!!

BTW, did your husband really rape Ms Broadderick as she accused him of doing? You never did address that question?

[Miss Didi]

If it makes us ill, just think how our military must feel. There is no way on God's green earth that this woman will be allowed to be commander in chief.

[petertare]

Why does the possession of a vagina make one elgible to be President?

[popdonnelly]

This country is going down hill. Can't we get some decent, intelligent people to run for President?

[billhilly]

"the former first lady said she thought Americans were ready for a woman in the Oval Office."

Her husband surely was ready for a woman in the Oval Office, and it wasn't his wife.

[popdonnelly]

"The way she talks you'd think the Presidency was Hillary's by divine right ..."

That is precisely what she believes.

I agree. Let's see if I can get Hillary to join me ina chorus of, "Run, Condi, run!"

Yeah. Right.

[Don Carlos]

That caught my eye, too. I thought the constitution gave the president the authority to wage war.

[cardinal4]

"The president took my vote and others' votes and basically misused the authority we gave him."

Man, I hate this woman..

[new yorker 77]

If you check, she has a penis.

[Churchillspirit]

And can you imagine if the worst happens and she gets elected....having to look at that "deer-in-the-headlights" face for four years?

God save us from this evil woman.

Hear Hillary sing the National Anthem.

She has only been through a thousand national events....the Smartest Woman In The World doesn't know the lyrics....

[gakrak]

"In the state that holds the first contest in the 2008 presidential nomination battle, the former first lady said she thought Americans were ready for a woman in the Oval Office."

Gosh didn't her husband already have a women in the oval office? LOL. Amen.

The adulterer in chief speaks.

[Viking2002]

This hideous bimbo won't need to be swift-boated....she's already providing herself with enough rope to be hung a dozen times over.

[mware]

As Alma Hix said in the Music Man:

"Just melt Hillary down and you'll reveal / a lump of lead as cold as steel / Here, where a woman's heart should be."

Clinton in Iowa: "About time" for woman president

Sure things...just as soon as one that is qualified announces I'll be willing to vote for her.

[mware]

This is good advice for the people of River City, Iowa.

Harold Hill:

"Ladies and gentlemen, either you are closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge, or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated by the presence of Hillary in your community!"

[FreeKeys]

Her husband surely was ready for a woman in the Oval Office, and it wasn't his wife.

[OldFriend]

So the president misused her vote by going to the war she voted for.

Yikes, she makes jon carry seem decisive.

[cubreporter]

Yes,a woman president is fine but not YOU hilllereee. You don't own the presidency even though you THINK you do.

[malia]

bill clinton ......

“Hilary is the best,” Clinton said. “During all those years I was harassed and stalked by all those women, she stood by me.”

[maxwellp]

I'm a resident of Upper New York State. I did not vote for Mrs. Clinton as Senator. All I can remember about her years as a junior senator from New York is her trying to sell her book and now she's running all around the country trying to get elected President. Any other New Yorkers on FreeRepublic who can mention anything she accomplished while New York Senator?

[Cobra64]

"...the former first lady said she thought Americans were ready for a woman in the Oval Office..."

[Cobra64]

"The president took my vote and others' votes and basically misused the authority we gave him."

I guess she never read The Constitution.

[Miss Didi]

Well, Max...gosh, let's see. I guess the best thing that she's done for NY is to not live here and never even come to town...well, except when there's a parade she does swing in to march and wave to the little people, get her mug on the news. I remember one a few years ago when she thought she was so important, she marched ahead of the mayor; boy was he mad.

What does SOW mean? and I agree, both clintons are total marxists.
