NEW YORK (AP) - If elected president in 2008, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton would consider giving up some of the executive powers President Bush and Vice President Cheney have assumed since taking office. In an interview published Tuesday in Guardian America, a Web site run by the London-based Guardian newspaper, Clinton denounced the Bush Administration's push to concentrate more power in the White House as a "power grab" not supported by the Constitution.

Asked if she would consider giving up some of those powers if she were president, Clinton replied, "Oh, absolutely ... I mean, that has to be part of the review that I undertake when I get to the White House, and I intend to do that."

Make sure you've swallowed your coffee before reading this. Otherwise you'll spit it out all over your computer. I don't even have to see the interview to know she's lying through her teeth.

Any chance she’ll give up all executive powers?

[SnakeDoctor]

My bet is that she ends up ceding all executive powers to President Fred Thompson.

Maybe she’ll promise not to throw coffee on a Marine guard.

Note verb.

[N. Theknow]

Hillary has another religious experience of speaking in tongues.

And makes absolutely no flipping sense.

The only power President Hillary is interested in is the FBI files.

Like the power to empty a room with a single harangue?

[Bon mots]

Will she give up the power to turn people into a frog?

[Brilliant]

Like I’ve said many times, if Hillary is elected President, Sarkozy will be the leader of the free world. It sure as heck won’t be Hillary.

Errrr? Before or after the purges?

Clinton Says She’d Give Up Some Powers

Yea, right. If anything, she will grab MORE and become the American Evita! The Clintons never give up anything, be it power or money!

[Rodm]

HA, HA, HA, YUCK, YUCK, Yuck, good one hill!

I agree. She doesn't mind considering giving up President Bush's just powers, they were never what she used, anyway. The woman is truly scary.

[socialismisinsidious]

No doubt she will b/c she doesn’t need them....the Clintons buy, bully and temper tantrum their way to whatever power they want. The rule of law does not matter to her, give up Powers/don’t give up Powers it makes no difference she will do what she wants with or without declaration of Powers.

Some of us do not have short memories.

As I said in the other post on this topic,
take a look at WHO wrote the column for
the Guardian (a liberal UK newspaper)...
Michael Tomasky. Then go look him up
on Wikipedia!

[RexBeach]

Right, TBG!

This article is not only amusing, but it is also a big bunch of baloney.

[Senator_Blutarski]

Does this mean:

She won't raise voters from the dead?

She won't spirit bodies into Fort Marcy Park?

She won't will dishwashers to contribute $1000 to her campaign?

She won't make Rose Law Firm records magically appear out of nowhere?

She won't will dogs named "Buddy" into busy streets?

[RockinRight]

Funniest thing Hillary has ever said.
