Stews and Debas
So sorry to see that you have fallen under the spell of the long winded Obama. He is a political toddler who is not quite ready to move on to training pants. Stews, I noticed you had nothing to remark about the SJ Res 23 Bill. What about the long road Senator Clinton has been on getting the public workers, your firefighters and police officers, the Health care they have needed due to the events of 9-11. What about the healthcare for the people living in the area and suffering from breathing and TSD due to the events of 9-11. Perhaps YOU would prefer that life just went on as normal after that day. You seem very narrow minded about your stance and are not doing any research of your own. It is evident since you seem to think that Obama was a rising star in Illinois Senate. He was, as he still is, one who sits on the fence (the safe answer) of NV. He doesn't vote yes or no so he won't be held accountable, that's a President we need, I don't think so. In Obama's 1.5 or less years of voting in US Senate he voted NV 129 times and Clinton 101 in 8 yrs. I did not include any voting in 08 for either.
America needs a President who is able to make decissions not sit on the fence.

We see that Hillary Clinton's fibbing, first rate "experience," was as a figurehead, which is a no official responsibilities spousal position, one with no real actual power, at all. She was first lady, which matters in real terms about as much as being high school president of the girl's glee club. It's about ime Obama got on this, because I was begining to think he was giving charity to his cheap shot taking challenger.
I don't know who "we" is because it seems to me that you have always hated Hillary and this article and the memos that it references have simply given more reason for Obamabots to love Obama and for Hillary supporters to support Hillary.

Pardon me, but...what??
I fail to see how rightfully noting that Iraq HAD NOTHING to do with 9/11 (a fact, a well known fact in 2008. A well known fact in 2002) means I've fallen "under the spell" of Obama.
your meandering reply implies that you have no idea what you're talking about.
cheers

@Number Six
Thanks - I appreciate it.
I tried to point out to the 4 Obama supporters that if they couldn't come up with something other than that, they were protesting too much, but they didn't get it. It went over their heads and I didn't press.
I asked the Clinton supporters about the record and they pointed out that, actually, none of the remaining candidates has a record of getting much of anything done that they liked (except McCain and they liked some of the work he had tried to push through on environmental policy). The only people who have gotten much of anything big done domestically in the last several years are, well, Republicans and most of what they have done most people I talk to don't like. So, they said, if people wanted someone who had a record on this stuff, people should have supported Biden, Dodd, etc in the early primaries. But, these were not the choices they were given so they were going on specific policy proposals they liked. And, there are some differences there between the candidates, not that many, but some things you can choose on. They all said they would vote for either candidate in the end - as did the Obama folks - which I should have pointed out.

Obama voted with Hillary on that issue.
In fact they have practically parellel voting records.

Ah, the old "I am a troll" announcement. I'm glad you've made it clear for anyone who hadn't already figured it out, that you are just a interested in bashing Obama supporter and have no interest in the true or intelligent debate. This "poor fools who fell for Obama" line really is just a declaration of troll-hood.
Given this, I feel no need to respond to the rest of your post as it would just be "feeding the trolls" and a waste of my time.

@debas
Oh, I thought it all happened in 2001. Didn't it. Everyone knows hindsight is 20/20. Get a grip, don't start spouting like your candidate.

What "vetted" experience do first ladies really have?
What do they do? Read books to school children?

Swiftboat = Leadership?
Call me crazy, but a leader wouldn't put themselves in a position to have to go negative to gain any traction.
A leader wouldn't praise the opposition's candidate at the expense of her own party. In fact, a leader wouldn't take steps at dismantling their party, and alienate a huge portion of that party's base in the process.
With each and every action, memo and statement, I lose respect for the Clinton campaign. It isn't that I don't respect determination, it's just that I usually prefer determination to be coupled with scruples.

Sorry that you mistook my comment! Don't lump me in with that mean dude calling you names. I was just expressing my incredulity.

Private conversations
The memos say this:
Obama:
Last year, former President Clinton asserted that his wife pressed him to intervene with U.S. troops to stop the Rwandan genocide. When asked about this assertion, Hillary Clinton said it was true. There is no evidence, however, to suggest that this ever happened....It is noteworthy that she failed to mention this anecdote -- urging President Clinton to intervene militarily in Rwanda -- in her memoirs. President Clinton makes no mention of such a conversation with his wife in his memoirs.
Clinton:
The Obama campaign spends considerable time trying to "prove" that a private conversation between Hillary and President Clinton never happened.
______________________________________________________
I'm finding it rather odd that Clinton is trying to pad her "experience resume" with a private conversation she had with her husband. She can't prove it DID happen. I guess we are just supposed to believe it because she says so? Sorry, but her response is about as pathetic as it gets.
