Hillary Rodham Clinton
Traveling with Bayh Across the Crossroads of America
Anne E. Kornblut
ANDERSON, Ind. -- Sen. Evan Bayh has a reputation for hokey all-American goodness, and campaigning with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in his home state on Thursday, he lived up to it.
As the pair faced questions about whether Clinton might pick Bayh as her vice president, the Indiana senator joked that it is the "only vice" he's every been associated with. In a high school gymnasium here, about an hour outside Indianapolis, the crowd loved it.
Clinton drew large, enthusiastic crowds in Terre Haute and in Anderson, a working-class town that has suffered severe job losses in the manufacturing sector in recent years. She drew on her husband's popularity among state Democrats. Traveling alongside Bayh, she promised to revisit trade agreements and help renew job growth. In a high school arena here, she said: "I know during this campaign there have been some folks who've said, 'We don't want to go back to the 1990s. And I always think, which part of the '90s they didn't like, the peace or the prosperity?"
Comparing the economic landscape to the one she has become familiar with in upstate New York, Clinton said the key to improving the economy nationwide is to "reverse this tide, this ocean of red ink" caused by excessive federal spending.

I will vote for Hillary. I wouldn't listen Onbama's flattery anymore. I miss Clinton's time, there was peace and prosperity. Obama's spiritual role, Wright is anti-white and anti-Aermica, wake up, Obama is disqualified for presidential candiate, don't be deceived by Obama's sweet talk. CNN and your political teams are lower than fungus, I will not waste time to listen your garbage. Hillary is more powerful than media, she will win the rest of States. GO, HILLARY.

"Reversing the tide of red ink" sounds like McCain. No wonder WJC thinks she and McCain would be wonderful together on the campaing trail. Seriously, is this all she can promise a distressed area. I thought we were the party of ideas. Sounds like what the Republicans are offering.

Does not ANYONE remember the the end of the 90"s Tech Revolution. My meager IRA soared then. That is why the economy was so good. Clinton happened to be in the Whitehouse then. I beleive the Venture capitalist are the ones who helped spike our economy-not anything Clinton did.. Sadly, I must say the "bubble" burst about the time Bush ran for and won the Whitehouse.Now I am scratching bottom like many others-just trying to pay my bills.

Evan Bayh is a perfect VP pick for Hillary. He's mind-numbingly dull, completely manufactured by pollsters, and a model of establishment entitlement. Just her kind of guy!

HILLARY OUT-SPENT 90% OF SENATERS ON EAR-MARKS/PORKBARREL SPENDING AS OF 11/07 FOR 2007 AND 13 TIMES AS MUCH AS OBAMA. HER PROPOSED ECONOMIC PACKAGE AND SPENDS $ LIKE CRAZEY AND NEW TAXES (PAYROLL DEDUCTION, HER OWN WORDS IN LAST DEBATE). SHE LIES ON THIS, SHE LIED ON NAFTA,SHE LIED ABOUT HER ROLL ON FORIEGN POLICY, SHE IS A LIAR AND HER SAUL ALYNSKY TACTIC TO DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN POWER IS HER MONSTER SURFACING. I THINK THE GENERAL PUBLIC WILL HAVE MUCH MORE REGRET OF SUPPORTING HER THAN THEY EVER HAVE HAD OF SUPPORTING GWBUSH AS HER TRUE SELF IS CONTINUALLY EXPOSED. IF THE SANITIZED PUBLIC SCHEDULES HAVE REVEALED A FEW THINGS THINK WHAT PHONE RECORDS ETC IF EVER RELEASED WOULD DO. DURING MOST OF THE WHITE HOUSE YEARS HER THESIS MATERIAL AND RELATIONSHIP TO SAUL ALINSKY WAS LITERALLY SUPPRESSED...IT AMAZES ME THAT THE PRESS DOES NOTHING WITH THIS. THE TRUE HILLARY CLINTON IS SHROUDED IN SECRECY AND SUPPRESSION(POLITE WAY OF SAYING FORBIDDING ACCESS TO MATERIAL FOR THE PUBLIC)...THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY IT IS A MATTER OF DECEIVING VOTING AMERICANS OF THE TRUTH. IT SPEAKS OF A TERRIBLE TYPE OF POWER BEHIND CLOSED DOORS AND NO MATTER WHAT THE INTENT IS EVIL IN THE SENSE THAT IT IS POWER UNTO ITS SELF AND ANSWERABLE TO NO ONE. READ SAUL ALINSKY RULES AND SEE WHAT FORMED HILLARYS CONCEPTS FOR HER POLITICAL GAINS AND THEN SEARCH YOUR SOULS.

One political "American" aristocrat helping another "royal" candidate. These dynasties that have somehow insinuated themselves in our politics need to be ousted, as they lead to inbreeding and political idiocy amongst our leaders, as well as predatory bank policies, hugely excessive CEO salaries, millions of homeless people, mass poverty, and "Superdelegates". Bayh, Clinton, Bush, Gore, Dodd, Rockefeller, Romney, ...run 'em all to the guillotine and off with their heads. LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!!! DEATH TO THE ARISTOCRATS!!!

Clinton was right on... In Clinton's time, there was peace and prosperity. Now, I would be happy with either. Unrealistic as it may seem, if having Hillary would bring back a piece of the Clinton era, it gives me hope in this very challenging times.
Go Hillary!

"In a high school arena here, [Hillary] said: 'I know during this campaign there have been some folks who've said, 'We don't want to go back to the 1990s. And I always think, which part of the '90s they didn't like, the peace or the prosperity?'"
You forgot this part:
The indictments. The adultery. The coverups. The necessity of parents being forced to explain to their grade-school-age children what oral sex was, and whether it really "is" sex. The use of the press to destroy the reputations of women who were victims of a serial sexual predator by both the predator and his wife. The buying of presidential pardons. The firing of career White House employees to open up patronage slots for political cronies. The sleaze. The dishonesty. The amorality. The triangulation. The inability to work toward compromise. The obsessive narcissism. The obsessive secrecy. The use of FBI files to search for political "dirt" on their opponents. The arrogant "we're above the law" attitude shown in such things as hiding the Rose Law Firm records from a legal subpoena. The renting out of the Lincoln Bedroom to campaign contributors. The total lack of acknowledgment that ANY of the above things maybe, just maybe, were deserving of an apology to all of us who doggedly stuck by you both when you kept attributing your numerous troubles to some "vast right-wing conspiracy."
You know, that part.

Anne makes this statement:
"She drew on her husband's popularity among state Democrats."
and cites this quote to back it up:
" ...there have been some folks who've said, 'We don't want to go back to the 1990s. And I always think, which part of the '90s they didn't like, the peace or the prosperity?""
==============
I do so appreciate when Anne actually supplies the support for one of her patently catty characterizations. It's an opportunity to marvel at the inanity of the mean little children who constitute our high end political press.

Obama's efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Chaney, of the Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Chaney was once an executive officer of Halliburton.
The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten's of billions.
Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats.
http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/
Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports.
Now we see what some might suspect as similiar financial escapading from the Democrats.
Two years ago, Iraq's Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company - Companion- owned by now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO) Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley, to train Iraqi power-plant guards in the United States. An Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo. Now the company, Companion Security, is working to revive its contract.
Involved along with Antoin "Tony" Rezco, long time friend and neighbor of Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, and former cop Daniel T. Frawley, is Aiham Alsammarae. Alsammarae was accused of financial corruption by Iraqi authorities and jailed in Iraq last year before escaping and returning here.
LIKE FATHER LIKE SON --
Recently, Obama's campaign staff have been vetted by the IRS to disclose his connection to the criminal money generating underworld. Besides, his connections to the REZCO MAFIA types, his up-coming tax fraud charges -- Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM "PATWANG-FWEEE" and disclose Obama's MUSLIM Farrakhan mob connection to Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama's spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright's daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said "truly epitomized greatness." That man is Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan and Chicago's Trinity United Church are trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Obama should stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It's time to introduce this false, fake Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke "GLORK" Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek. He is MAD!!! --
OBAM YOU'RE NO JFK --
"GLORK" Obama looks like Alfred E. Newman: "Tales Calculated To Drive You." He is a MUSLIM "Glork" He's MAD!!! Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot of Mad. The face had drifted through American pictography for decades before being claimed by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman after he spotted it on the bulletin board in the office of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff, later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman.
Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM "PATWANG-FWEEE" and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It's time to introduce this false, fake "GLORK" Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek.
Michelle Obama should be ashamed.
"GLORK" Michelle Obama should be ashamed of her separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago's Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. If Michelle Obama new what her husband -- the Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster -- Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama did in Harlem, she would wash her wide-open, Hus-suey loving MUSILM mouth out, with twenty-four (24) mule-team double-cross X-boX-BorraX. He is a MUSLIM "Glork" It's time to introduce this false, fake "GLORK" Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo "GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA" Police Department Buffalo Creek. He's MAD!!!

THE SPEECH --
The Apologia has arrived and once again the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, promises to heal the wounds of the world. The speech is the rude awakening of mass messianism of his campaign. Apologetically, Obama the MUSLIM double-cross X-boX-BorraX has an astonishingly empty two-prawn echelon explanation of his misjudgment.
In the first prawn: with regard to his connection to separatist-racist Rev. Wright; Obama summons voodoo and juju to express slavery as beginning and ending with the Rev. Wright.
In the second prawn: Obama's speech takes credit for Ashley's dream. A dream of unity Martin Luther King, Jr. borrowed from Ashley for his historic "I Have A Dream" speech. In Obama's speech, the connective bond Ashley, the elderly black man and Obama's grandmother share; represents Obama's self-indicting rise to the Harvard Yard. For Obama, the grand flag of language is the semi-fore of words, bestowed upon our nation by the messiah-alumni from Harvard. Obama's Swoon-Song Apologia to the nation represents a failed hymn -- a hymn that fails to heal the nation, repair the world, or make this time different than all the rest. Obama's speech is a brilliant failure.
