That comment Hillary made about Obama's ties to the slumlord seems to me pretty fair. I liked it. It's nice seeing Hillary going after a grown man, as opposed to a woman who isn't looking. Besides, I thought the term slumlord, might endear Obama to "Whitey"
Then somebody had to go ahead and check it out. Turns out, Obama as a junior lawyer did some due diligence on a real estate deal between slumlord and some church. Everything's warm and fuzzy. I'm disappointed.

Lewinsky
Why do we call the Monica Lewinsky scandal by that name? For those of you who are now old enough to vote, but whose parents forbade you to watch TV while the president was being impeached, here's a quick overview. A woman named Paula Jones had pushed an old issue of Bill Clinton sexually harassing her many years back. She was not the first to accuse Bill Clinton of creating a hostile work environment, but most of the other women had gone to the Rose Law firm for representation, and were greeted by Hillary Rodham. She was married to Bubba, but failed to mention. Anyway Hillary, who is now running for president, got these women to drop the proceedings. It's widely accepted that intimidation was used. Paula Jones tried to settle, but again offended by the form in which the Clintons conducted themselves. Plus, they didn't want to admit anything, which was kind of a deal breaker.
Through the years, Clinton continued his habit of dipping his pen in the company ink. Continued to lie about it. Hillary decided that just because it was her husband's habit of dipping his pen company ink, and she was either required to enable that activity, or happy to enable that activity, was no reason to think that he was continuing that activity. She hit the talk shows. Proclaiming a vast right wing conspiracy. She publicly that they were the cause of all of these accusations. Claimed that unless you can prove without a doubt, down to the toppings of the pizzas Monica and Bill shared, than the president was completely innocent. Past conduct didn't matter, and would not be addressed.
Bill Clinton saw fit to lie under oath. He got cute with definitions even of the word "is" as well as what was sex, with that woman. Details of the interaction were made public. Instead of just paying Paula Jones the agreed upon sum, and refraining from vilifying her, and many of the other women he'd targeted, his wife had targeted, the Clintons decided to put their interests ahead of the nation's, and an impeachment ensued.
All the Clintons had to do, was write a check, and shut their mouths. They did later write the check, and shut their mouths, but only after putting the American people through that international embarrassment. Bill was convicted of perjury, had to pay a fine, a suspension of his law license, basically the same stuff that Scooter Libby was punished with. Neither went to jail. It was arranged for Chuck Schumer to ask Hillary to run for Senate. It was arranged for Rick Lazio, Steven Kluger's Vassar housemate, to walk against her.
All the women who've complained about the Clintons harassing them continue to be punished. All the women, tarred for life.
Monica Lewinksy was 22 years old and did something stupid. Bill Clinton, was the sitting President and encouraged the stupid conduct. Clintons take no responsibility, and were simply victims of everything. Despite the fact that they had been participating this style of conduct since before Monica Lewinsky was a twinkle in anybody's eye.
The Clintons still hold a grudge against Ken Starr, who probably was assigned the job. Clinton's campaign has also accepted contributions from Ken Starr. Which is silly. Considering how consistently the Clintons have insisted on being placated with money and apologies, only to use said money and apologies as weapons, confessions etc., Starr should have kept his money.

PAY CUT
A few years ago when Chelsea Clinton began working, she bagged a low to mid six figure salary, now the NY Post is reporting that this year, with bonus and salary it's between $150,000 and $200,000. Why'd her pay get cut? Is somebody lying? She can't even talk to a nine-year-old kid reporter. The Clintons all think everyone else is stupid, or at least that's how they act. What exactly is special about them?

Voter Intimidation?
Bill Clinton says that he, a former president WITNESSED voters being intimidated. Why did he not have the perpetrators arrested? He's got Secret Service agents with him, couldn't they have done something?
For any former president of the US to watch any crime and do nothing more than hold a press conference, it's just baffling.

Sorry
Has anybody else noticed that the Clintons, particularly Hillary Clinton, doesn't give public apologies? Nobody in Hillary's camp gives public apologies, they simple release a statement that they did apologize. I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Hillary is often apologized to, mostly from women who've had her husband, and the men who mention it, some of the women are given jobs, for a while, and others are savaged. It's very subjective.
What is with these feminist organizations who only like and respect those who dress like them? What's that about? The quality of a person is not determined by whether or not they're wearing a suit. The reason I didn't use the word PANTS SUIT is because the seventies were a long, long, time ago.
There are a lot of decent women in this world. Given Hillary's history, calling women names, sabotaging our careers, having us harassed, etc., why would anybody think that the sisterhood is anything more than a one way street?

Newspaper Loop
Okay, I just found out that Bill Clinton claims that he found out about the lawsuit trying to suppress the Nevada vote by reading it in the newspaper. Remember, that's the same way he and Hillary found out about Monica too.
By the way, the ruling is that the caucuses will go on as planned, at least for now.

Fairness
So Bill Clinton is supporting a lawsuit designed to depress participation in the Nevada caucus. He said it was an issue of fairness. Well, in the interest of fairness, I think that if Chelsea Clinton refuses to give interviews while on the campaign trail, the media should stop covering those events. Her unabashed rudeness does not mean that Bill and Hillary are good parents, quite the opposite I think. She wants her privacy, she needs to off the campaign trail. This issue of fairness isn't designed to depress the vote.
