Clinton Cites Husband's Record, 'Heart' on Race (barf)
Washington (com)Post ^ | 2/23/2008 | Perry Bacon Jr.

Posted on 02/24/2008 9:29:05 AM PST by markomalley

NEW ORLEANS -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton acknowledged Saturday night that her husband may have offended some African Americans with his comments last month about Sen. Barack Obama's candidacy, but she said that Bill Clinton's record on race relations and "his heart" attest to his good intentions.

Clinton was asked about her husband's comments by broadcaster Tavis Smiley at the annual "State of the Black Union" conference, which drew thousands to the Morial Convention Center.

"If anyone was offended by anything that was said, whether it was meant or not, whether it was misinterpreted or not, then obviously I regret that," Clinton responded.

But she added, "My husband apologized for slavery. My husband mended, so as to avoid ending, affirmative action. My husband had in his White House, his Cabinet, his administration, many of you who I see here in either full-time or advisory positions."

Now you know WHO is really running for President -— she is a hack at best, a criminal hack, and Billy is there for the free ride and NOTHING else. This clearly shows what American government has degenerated into -— such reprobates.

Hillary!08 is looking and sounding tired and somewhat relieved she won’t have to actually be President after all.

His Record?

You mean like sending 19 American Army Rangers, good men all, to their deaths in Somalia because he was more worried about his approval rating them giving then armor support they asked for?

Or maybe you mean his pushing thru the largest tax hike in US history?

Or perhaps his ignoring of a grown, ever more potent Islamic radical threat to the USA because he was far much a coward, morally and politically, to take on the stridently pacifist wing of his own political base.

The Clintons. 35 years of corruption, incompetence and failure

So now she proudly says she is back to being proud of NAFTA? Can’t have it both ways Ms. Clinton. [Caveat, I agree that NAFTA was an achievement the W.Clinton administration should be proud of.]

I fully expect the Hillary to say she was the first black first lady. Why not if Bill was the first black president...?

When she was running for senator,from New York, she declared she was part Jewish. It must have worked because she got elected

Speaking of “heart”, if Hillary fails to do any major damage to Obama in this week’s debate, look for Bill to be rushed to the hospital with “chest pains” later in the week (probably Thursday afternoon, early enough in the day to ensure plenty of coverage on the evening news.) Hillary will leave the campaign trail to be by his side during this “crisis”, evoking sympathy from the Sheeple, and causing them to admire how devoted the Clintons are to one another (”She cares so much - she’s such a good person”.) Of course, everyone will be relieved to find out that it was nothing serious, allowing Hillary to return to the campaign trail by Friday evening.

On Hillary’s “outraged” tour 2008 She fired up her fifteen supporters into a frenzied mob, they cheered wildly, took their state provided medication and went back to sleep.

"You see, the truth of the matter is that Bill loves black women," she said. "

You mean he cares for their welfare?" I asked.

"Well, there's that, but I mean he loves them, as in 'my private eye has pictures' loves them," she replied.

Oh wait, maybe she is also.

Michelle is not proud of any of that.

It is interesting that Ron Brown’s son, Michael, is a partner in the Washington Lobbying firm that employs the young lady who, according to the NEW York Times, was suspected of having a sexual relationship with Senator McCain. Washington is indeed a small world.

Well, to quote civil rights leader, Andrew Young, Bill has “dated” more black women than Obama. Presumably Hillary can confirm that.

I saw the title of this thread and thought, “Yep. My prediction was right.” I misread it and thought something was wrong with her husband’s heart again. I still feel that if she really finds herself losing, Bill might have another scary heart crisis that might lend her sympathy. It’s always been her fallback characteristic.

This video plus the Bill-Hill dancing on the beach photos, shows the phoniness of the Clintons more than any words could do.

They seem to think the American people are stupid...and I agree with them ...on those sho still support either of them!
