WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Appearing before a religious conference earlier this week, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-New York) told the audience that as a child attending Sunday school she would baby-sit the children of migrant workers so that their older siblings could join their parents at work.
"I was fortunate that at an early age, through my church, I was given the opportunity to expand my horizons," Clinton told the 600 adults and teenagers attending the Sojourners "Covenant for a New America" conference.
Politically, the story served two purposes for the New York Democrat. It allowed her to promote a developing Democratic message tailored to the faith community that ties the party's "compassionate" legislative agenda directly to moral values. And, personally, it allowed Clinton to speak about her own spiritually. The latter is not new for the former first lady, but it is a theme we could hear more and more if she decides to run for president.
"She understands where the Democrats need to go in talking about values just as her husband understood it," said Stuart Rothenberg, publisher of the non-partisan Rothenberg Political Report. "And she is going to go there."

I remember the multitudes of migrant workers in 1960s Park Ridge myself. There were probably one, maybe two of them.

Now the question is does anybody actually remember her doing this, or did she make this up knowing that nobody could contest her.

Expect to see the beast carrying the Hollywood prop Bible made famous by her husband, the disgraced, impeached ex-President.

JMO, hillary trying to pull a fast one again, when she said she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, when in actually Edmund Hillary became famous 6 years after she was born.
Sir Edmund Hillary climed Mt. Everest in 1953, hillary rodham clinton was born in 1947.

So let's try and keep count.
She wanted to join the Marines.
She wanted to join the FBI and sent them a letter.
She babysat for "migrant" folk.
I know I am missing quite a few of the extraordinary "things" that this woman has done or wanted to do.
She is so full of ****.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Must be where she began developing those skills that helped her decide to stay at home and raise a family.
