Clinton: I Will Not Target Sanctuary Cities

Hillary Clinton, in the second half of her first-ever interview with FOX News’ Bill O’Reilly, said that if elected president she would not crack down on so-called illegal immigrant “sanctuary cities.”
Clinton outlined several points of her foreign policy platform in the final segment of the interview, which aired Thursday. She declared there’s nothing left to achieve in Iraq and issued a stern warning about the threats Iran poses to that region once U.S. troops withdraw.
Asked about the controversial topic of sanctuary cities — cities that encourage a hands-off approach to local enforcement of federal immigration policy — Clinton swiftly responded, “No I’m not (going to target them). I’m not.”
She said she wants illegal immigrants to feel safe reporting crimes and that “sometimes you have two competing values.”
But she said federal immigration policy is “broken” and needs reform.
“I’m 100 percent in favor of tightening our borders, of enforcing the laws against employers, of going after the kind of abuses that we see in the job market, of making it clear that we have got to figure out what we’re going to do with people,” she said.
Clinton joined O’Reilly in South Bend, Ind., on Wednesday for her first appearance in the “The O’Reilly Factor,” putting the squeeze on rival Barack Obama (who went on FOX News Sunday for the first time over the weekend) and other Democrats to do the same.
Clinton campaign aides said her appearance on the show was designed to reach out to working-class, independent white men who could decide the outcome of next week’s Indiana primary.
A day after tackling the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy, Clinton moved on to discuss the Iraq war and Middle Eastern policies, saying there’s no military solution in Iraq and that U.S. troops have already fulfilled their mission.
“First of all, I believe that our military has fulfilled all their military missions,” Clinton said, as her campaign also criticized President Bush for Iraq policies on the fifth anniversary of the “Mission Accomplished” banner. “There’s no doubt in my mind. They got rid of Saddam Hussein, which they were asked to do. They gave the Iraqis free and fair elections. They gave the Iraqi government the space and time to make the decisions that only the Iraqis can make for themselves.
“There is no military solution to what we face in Iraq, which is unprecedented. It is dangerous, it is unstable,” she said.
Clinton also charged Iran with fueling the bloodshed in Iraq.
“I think it’s somewhat open to debate as to whether Iran really wants to see us withdraw, and here’s why. They have been an equal opportunity supporter of the militias, of the insurgents, of anybody who would pick up arms against the United States,” she said.
But she took a decidedly softer tone after telling ABC that she would “attack Iran” and “we would be able to totally obliterate them” if the country attacked Israel with nuclear weapons.
“If Iran were to ever obtain a nuclear weapon, that would be unbelievably bad for us and the world. And I’m going to do everything I can to prevent that from ever happening,” she told FOX News, leaving it at that.
Iran strongly condemned Clinton late Wednesday for her previous statements. Its deputy United Nations ambassador said the remarks were “provocative, unwarranted and irresponsible.”
Clinton said as president she would withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq, and emphasize “the political and the diplomatic.”
“There will be a lot of conflict between the Iranians and the Iraqis moving forward if the United States is on the sidelines, instead of in the middle.”
Both Democratic candidates were campaigning hard Thursday in Indiana, which votes alongside North Carolina May 6.
Clinton is still trailing in delegates, but hoping to close part of the gap on Tuesday. However, as Obama grapples with the Wright controversy, her campaign got a jolt when a longtime superdelegate supporter defected to Obama.
“A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote to continue” a long, self-destructive Democratic campaign, former national party Chairman Joe Andrew wrote in a letter designed to have an impact on the turbulent race nationally as well as in his home state of Indiana.
He urged Democrats to “reject the old negative politics” and unify behind Obama.
FOX News’ Aaron Bruns and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Hillary says there is “no military solution”
Well, I guess all is lost then. You certainly can’t have a political solution with someone who wants you dead.
Well, frankly, there is nothing “left” to be achieved by a Clinton Presidency either.
I think Hillary is correct!!!! In all Aspects.
As for Obama—- He is just now GETTING what Wright has been preaching
I
I don’t think America needs ANOTHER slow thinker !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama would probably just studder and fumble around with out Hilary to answer first.
Sadly Clinton is correct. As I sat in Iraq for fifteen months I used to scream at my computer whenever I would read Mcain or Bush talking about “the troops want victory”……..”WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, TELL ME WHAT YOU MEAN AND WE WILL DO IT!” But that question was never answered. The US military can do anything, but what it cannot do is make other people do the right thing…even through violence.
She voted for this war. OBAMA 08′
Here’s the thing, why ARE we paying SO much for gas when Iraq is paying something like $0.75 if not less? I mean, here we are fighting for them and why can’t they give us FREE gas for our military missions protecting their country? We give, give, give and when does America get anything in return fron those that we help?
Say what you will about Hillary Clinton and her policies, but she may well be the smartest person to run for President in the past two generations. In my opinion she couldn’t have handled this Bill O’Reilly interview any better.
Let the people decide who will untie the party, The nomination was handed to Obama long before the people has a chance to cast their votes. This election is for the people. Let them decide.
Ann Coulter may be right. Hillary may be more conservative than Mcain. Who knows, after all the liberals have stabbed her in the back, she may now realize that the white american male is not and never has been her enemy after all. ARE YOU LISTENING HILLARY?
Yep. Pull everyone out immediately just to get votes. Then our american military can come home and it will be just like Vietnam. People say bring them home, but many groups of people out there are protesting military recruiting stations and younger people are calling us war mongers. Next thing you’ll be spitting in my face. Hilliary you have no concept of what a military mission is..other than mispeaking about coming into Bosnia under fire (and why would you EVER endanger your child by putting her in a situation like that if it was TRUE). Leave the military decisions to our superior officers.
“Clinton told O’Reilly in the first half of the interview that she thought Obama’s decision to roundly condemn his former pastor was the right move. She said Wright’s statements still offended her and that she would not have been a member of his church.”
You should read Wright’s full sermon before you open your mouth Hillary.
Hillary is looking stronger and more Presidential everyday. Obama will not even allow himself to be interviewed by Bill O’Reily. Hillary is obviously not afraid to face adversity. Furthermore, Democrats and other super delegates are laughing at Joseph Andrew’s ridiculous and over the top “inspired” appraisal of Obama today. I thoroughly enjoyed Brit Hume’s panel ripping Andrew apart this evening. I am becoming a FOX News fan more and more each day.
god bless rich people!
Joe Andrew is a shrew and thinks with his butt and not his head .How he ever made it through yale is beyond me.He is exactly the kind of political disaster we dont need.Do any of you really know this guy.Hes kissed everyones butt to get to were he is and now hes kissing Obama ha haaaa what a joke this guy is.His endorsment doesnt mean skamp!
She’s a very smart, very sensible person. She has a history of being able to compromise when needed. She’s strong as steel, and actually pretty charming in person. What’s funny to me is that the far right tries to paint her as a raving socialist, and the far loony left tries to paint her as a neoconservative! The truth is she’s pretty common-sense moderate.
She’s make a good prez, I think.
Mr. O’Reilly, I watched the 1st half of your interview with H. Clinton & found her to be very sarcastic, & demeaning to your questions & your listening audience. Numerous times you didn’t avail yourself of “hard hitting” comments to her “spin” answers. Therefore you lost one person for the 2nd half of your interview. Why didn’t you take time to follow up on some of her evasive answers. Fair & balance is fine but we must remember she is seeking the democratic nomination for Pres. of the U.S.
You can & have done much better in the past.
Sincerely,
S. A. Shoup
I thought Bill did a good job, and I was surprised that I was impressed with the manner in which Mrs. Clinton presented herself and her opinions.
I did wish that she would have replied there is NO LONGER a military solution in Iraq. I believe her answer expressed that point of view. She just chose poor words.
Good Job Bill for an exceptional interview with a Presidential Candidate.
mw
Hillary 2002 - supports the war
Hillary 2007 - opposes the war
Hillary 2008 - says the war is over
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Hilary, I am falling in love with you!!!! Would never vote for you however, you are a worthy opponent against anybody. You are tough, with that certain something. Why didn’t you show it at the beginning of the campaign. Why did you let your competitors steal the primaries from you? Hang in there girl, the Hispanic vote will overcome the 85% vote of that other group. I would not vote for you, but my Hispanic brothers and sisters will. Excellent showing on Bill’s show. You were respectful, intellingent, insightful. You showed a lot of class. Have gain mucho respect for you. “Tu tienes ganas”. That means “you got it girl”. With regard and respect. Defeating you in the general election will mean something. See you in November.
Arizona,simple question..Has Obama voted for additional funding for the war once he became a senator?
So now she is, again, for an immediate withdrawal? I don’t get it, which is it gonna be? Oh wait, I understand, it all depends on which state is holding a primary and what constituency we’re pandering to.
Another great interview. O’Reilly asked good questions and I think Sen Clinton answered brillantly. She really does present herself like the Commander in Chief and should be the nominee and then will be a wonderful president for this country.
Bill
Just saw part II of your interview with Sen. Clinton,it was good. You both were very respectful with your comments. It was enjoyable. Thank you
Yeah,
She’ll be too busy with Peter Paul vs. Clintons
Google that. The Clintons are Crooks!
On immigration, Clinton said she would not crack down on so-called sanctuary cities as president, because she wants illegal immigrants to feel comfortable reporting crimes.
I don’t understand her statement……does she mean she wants illegals to feel comfortable reporting themselves….. as illegals ??
Hillary and McCain are centrists. Obama is a far left liberal loon. Either Hillary or McCain would be good. Obama does not have the judgement or character to be president. He would be a disater.
I almost fell off my lounge chair. In the process of going after big oil, Mrs Clinton scoffed that big oil hasn’t invented a thing. Excuse me! They can drill ten miles under the ocean. Hmmm. The drilling in Alaska would be tough but harmless. Hmmmm. If they don’t invent things, they sure pay a bunch of people to do it for them.
Michael Hill
I find it hilarious that Andrew’s endorsement of Obama suddenly makes him worthless and a traitor. I’ve heard about folks calling his office and threatening violence. Are these the good Christians who have a problem with Rev. Wright? Remind me again why more superdelegates aren’t endorsing Clinton?
Bill just does’t have the nerve to tell Hilery she has lost the race. She will keep on running until 2012.
She did well with the interveiw and I believe She knows that to go on The No Spin Zone at the time Miss Clinton chose was a political maneuver that is to Her benefit. Not bad. Still will not vote for Clinton nor Obama!!
BB
I did not intend to vote for Hillary, but after the interview I now know that I could never vote for her! I cannot stand that laugh.
Joe Andrew has his knickers in a knot with a man crush on Obama.
Forsaking old politics is exactly what’s happening Joe; we’re gonna elect a woman. Get used to saying “Madam President”. Obama is clearly gonna lose in the general, so why not issue a call asking him to step aside for the good of the party?
Please vote for Obama in primaries, so that McCain will win in November!
If Clinton becomes the democrat nominee, I fear that she will defeat McCain 
Lets sum this up. Hillary won’t do anything about illegals and sanctuary cities, won’t drill for more oil domestically, won’t allow building nuclear power plants to relieve our energy crunch, won’t allow water boarding terrorists for crucial information, but will allow a complete troop withdrawal from Iraq, thus allowing Iran to take it over.
She is so smart. What a genius! C’mon people….can’t you see through this?
Once again, Hillary proved she’s ready to lead! She will be a great President, taking on a huge load left by this Administration. But she’s capable, intelligent, knowledgeable, and will make the USA the respected nation we were once upon a time.
Oh, for some of the other posters here, she never said she’d remove all our military immediately. She’s very thoughtful on the matter and has the chutzpah to actually get something done.
I, too, think more of us “moderates” are leaving CNN and MSNBC…never thought I’d say that until a couple of months ago, but I actually find myself at FOXNEWS instead. (But I love Shep and have watched him for years.)
Yet again we have the Clinton machine pandering to special interest. Isn’t this the sort of very thing Obama said he would not do? What part of ILLEGAL do these people not understand. Yes we need immigration reform, and it should not involve amnesty. These “sanctuary cities” should be cut off from all federal dollars if this is how they show respect to our country. This is just another of the hundreds of reasons I am voting for McCain.
Hillary, as usual, spoke around the questions. Next week she will probably say that she did not say the things reported from her interview. I would not trust her as far as I could throw her.
She is smart, however, this is only to get what she wants. She has one goal in life and that is to be the first woman to be president of this country. If she does, she will carry out the agenda that Bill did not get to push before he left office. She will be president by proxy.
Her election wold be a disaster for this country. I wish her the worst.
“But she took a decidedly softer tone after telling ABC that she would “attack Iran” and “we would be able to totally obliterate them” if the country attacked Israel with nuclear weapons.”
As I recall, she did not tell ABC she would “attack Iran”. She said “we would be able to totally obliterate them” if they attacked Israel with nuclear weapons.
i tink is a nice candidate and if win for is party have god oportunity to win the the white house
is a nice lady and smart girld i no have frend old around the planet
HILLARY YOU ROCK!!! i have so much respect and admiration for you, you are an intelligent person, and i think you would be the best choice for presidency!!
WOW - Impressive - I did not see or hear the interview, however, according to the article it seems Hillary held her own on Iraq. I have voted Republican since 1980. I still don’t trust her and believe her (and Bill) wil do anything to get her into the White House. I am currently reading a book about the history of Viet Nam from the 1880’s thru 1975 (when the US troops pulled out). Kennedy’s advisors, generals, certainly had fear in their minds about the “Red’s”, and sadly, the next Presidents (Johnson/Nixon) dumped troops after troops into the country - to no avail. This is not the case in Iraq, but when will it end? Americans are sick of this war as they are about gas prices.
Clinton looked very confident and stood up very well to the tough interview of Bill O’Reilly.
RightON Madam President! Your plan is compassionate YET strong. The vast majority of Americans have immigrant backgrounds. Even Mr Obama!! By the way, Obama doesn’t hold a candle to your brilliance and spark, your tenacity and your drive!!
Mr Obama: you are a LOSER for a candidate of the President of the United States of America. Go back to District 13 in Chicago and clean it up before you take over the country with your Rezko/Ayers and Wright friends!
the fact that hillary even sat down with bill took a lot of guts and she just got a lot more support from undecided voters
Hillary Clinton couldn’t of done any better than she did with her interview on “THE FACTOR”…I’ve had the chance to see Hillary Clinton and ask her questions here in New York State where I live and I find her very smart,friendly and always looking out for the people..Thanks Hillary Clinto for appearing on “The Factor and letting people see the real you…Yankee Trader
While Obama is doing daytime talk with the ladies, Halliary is talking about issues. I doubt Obama even knows what a Santuary City is…I give you a hint Obama, It doesn’t have anything to do with birds.
Is anyone else upset that all the candidates (in both parties) still get paid a huge salary by the taxpayers in their states for taking a year off from their jobs to travel around the country? I sure wish that my job would allow me to do that! It seems that if you are currently in office, and you want to run for something, you should have to resign before you can run for some other office. Just my two cents…I guess nothing really ever gets done with them all in congress anyway, so why not pay them to wander around the country.
Same old same old. Law abiding, tax paying citizens can’t count on the Democrats to stand up for them. She stands with those who are illegal above fellow citizens. I say let the illegals vote for her then. See how many of them get to the polls!
good for Joe Andrew - let’s start a new page
in our government. With a government
by the people and for the people… Obama 2008
This was a solid interview. I like Mr. O. He asks tough questions and is fair. Mrs. Clinton came as strong, intelligent and dare I say, charming. I’m not a fan of her liberal views, but at least this was a dialogue. Well done Fox.
That interview was fantastic! does not matter if you agree or disagree, Senator Clinton was fantastic. She held her own very well.
I hate the all the candidates in this election cycle. It is going to be another stinky election where we have to hold our noses and push the button for the least offensive politician to lead our country.
I thought O’Reilly did a good job of pinning her down on some very important issues that haven’t been raised by the gutless cowards in the Liberal Media. I think Hillary Clinton is an unapologetic liberal stuck to her guns on cutting and running from Iraq, no waterboarding of terrorist, and no prosecution of Illegal aliens. I think any Conservative Democrat who was thinking about voting Clinton or Obama realized that she is no Moderate.
Well, Bill refused to take down Ben Laden when he had the chance, guess Hillary would rather just acquiesce early on and avoid the rush. Turn and run, acquiesce, capitulate, all good terms to use instead of giving up, turning yellow and becoming the socialistic cistern of dispair that is Hillary’s dream come true. Well folks, you elect her, you deserve her and I guess the rest of us look for someplace to defend…..
Hillary is already threatening Iran as she panders to defense corporations. She is the ultimate corporate candidate and a global laughing stock with her tall tails. More of the Bush-Clinton-Bush Clinton era would be tiresome indeed!
Hillary Clinton is one tough, smart woman. She is the only qualified candidate to be president at this time in our history. We can’t make a mistake because it will resonate for years and she is the only one who can win. We need to win the White House so we need to vote smart. Vote Clinton.
I consider myself a Republican….but I have to say, I was very impressed with Senator Clinton during her interview with Bill O’Reilly. She is intelligent and commanding in her presence…..dare I say, “Presidential”. I also feel that she portrays a human side that is appealing and trustworthy. As a Republican, I’m trying to get that from McCain, and frankly, I’m just leary of Obama. I hope Senator Hillary Clinton is the Democratic Candidate. It would be a good race between she and McCain. Thank you Bill for a great interview and opportunity to see Senator Clinton upclose and personal.
I’m a dedicated Fox News fan….but I’m disappointed in the headline “Clinton: I will not target sanctuary cities”… That wasn’t her whole statement, and y’all know it. It’s just a cheap attempt at grabbing the audience. Please don’t pander down to the tricks the “other media outlets” play, treat your readers with more respect. Give us the honest headline….not the dishonest soundbite.
I BET HILLARY WAS INTURN in FURNITURE SHOP.
They SAY “TAX HOLIDAY” + “50% Discount” but you still end up paying 115%.
When she ducks a question by answering something else, say something like “You avoided answering the question but let’s move unless you want to answer it now.” Otherwise this is more of those YouTube debates.
NO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and Sanctuary Cities! I think Hillary is the best choice but as someone from a city where illegals have taken over-I m disgusted and feel the system is not broken-they just refuse to obey our laws and we reward them with our stupid politicak correctness-ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
Is there a Presidential candidate in this race who believes that Americans should come first before foreigners…period?
I will vote for the candidate who best resolves the issue of illegal immigrants……….I as an American Citizen, tax payer, cannot “DEMAND’ any rights………… I have no rights ……….Why are these people who came here “illegally” allowed to “DEMAND” anything????????????
Good job BIG ORIELY. H. Clinton is good for America and America will rally for her to be our next President. I challenge all supper delegate and Chairman Dean that Obama is a dangerous man to be the President of the United State.I do not believe for a momment that he is sensere to distance himself from his Pastor. The American people are very smart. He was marinated by J.Wright sauce for 20 years and spiced by a authentic J.Wright teaching to produce a black flavor only for black people No way Obama will forget his pastor.He said this as a political move to get elected.
You know hillary did great when Morris says she did great. My God. That guy hates both Obama and Clinton, but knew all along that they could swift boat Obama and Clinton would fight tooth and nail.
She is the smartest person left standing in the election. However, none of it matters. Kerry Kennedy and Pelosi want Obama as their sock puppet.
Obama will be the next president. Certainly if Mc Cain continues this ‘I will defend the Bush policies’ campaign. He will lose in a landslide if he does this.
Another reason to vote republican.
In government talk hillary just told the American people that she is not going to stop illegal immigration.
Everyday Bubba talks bad about the states that Obama won as unimportant, They’re providing amunition for GOP’s against her. Wisconsin is a swing state. WA, VT is inportant. Ill is important. She’s silly. She needs blk votesto win Michigan, NJ, NY, FL. They’ve made so many arguments against themselves.
who are we kidding…this election is about barack obama vs john mc cain
Congratulation for the excellent job in your interview. You are very professional, intelligent and give excellent comments. I am so glad because CNN and MSNBC are very envious and that is why Abrams is very critical sometimes about FOX programing. My family and many friends do not miss you program “Keep your great job”. I am a democrat and many of my friends and my family will vote for the republicant candidate if Mr. Obama is selected as the candidate. I will never will be a Democrat again
I’m reconsidering my choice after watching this interview. I tuned in to watch her falter, but she impressed this voter. I’m not with her on every issue, but I like her tenacity, intelligence and decisiveness.
I’m looking forward to McCain and hopefully Obama on O’Reilly.
Bill OReilly’s interview with Hillary was very intertaining and will go down as one of Bill’s best.
Hillary showed that she is smart, and a tough cookie, but her imigration stance and Irag withdrawal plans will cause her to loose the presidential race, if she beats Obama, which is looking more favorable each day!!
OK…I have tried to leave this long message for some time, and billoreilly.com and his foxnews.com equivalent wont let me post my messages. P.S. if you love Donald Rumsfeld, you will love Hillary Clinton. Call me crazy, but the Democratic strong point is the opposition towards the overzealousness of the Bush administration. Plus I used to live in the U.A.E. who are building the World’s tallest building on behalf of their minority Pakistani, Indian, and Indonesian pseudo slaves… So I ask you Hillary: How can you possibly defend these countries? Plus I grew up in the same country as Barack (Jakarta, Indonesia), and there are some things that you learn from that you will never understand. Aku Suka Barack!!!
Both of the Democrat’s are loser’s, John McCain is the only candicate who does not speak with a forked tongue.
The Rev. Wright issue and the Black Church response to this issues continues to be tagged as a race issue.
I don’t see that at all. It’s pure and simple America Bashing by Rev Wright, some Black Churches and even Mrs. Obama.
You have the right to bash, but I find these rants hateful and I will fight those who do so…color/race is not an issue to me.
The interview just enforced my belief that we have 3 choices and they are all Democrats. I will vote for John McCain because he is a moderate compared to the others. How did Republicans let this happen? Was there not one Conservative out there?
It is the President’s job to ensure this country is safe. How can anyone believe it is okay for leaders to encourage illegal activity?
If Bill gets down on all four’s he can get some really great interviews….As long as he does not ask the hard questions that is…..all about ratings right….
The only thing broken about our immigration policy is the will to enforce it. Close the border, stop all Federal payments to sanctuary cities, and punish employers who hire illegals. That’s all. What’s so complicated about that? We can deport those here illegally, or better yet, simply cut off their ability to earn a living here and they’ll deport themselves. Then amend the Constitution so that US citizenship is granted only to those born of parents who are here LEGALLY to put a stop to this “anchor baby” problem and that pretty much covers it.
Excellent interview, really showed why Clinton is skyrocketing in the polls. She is on message, addressing the issues, and boy does she know them well. She has charisma, poise, and a sense of humor. I appreciate FoxNews and O’Reilly for giving Clinton a fair shot at this (despite Bill’s sharp questioning and cutting in, signatory for him, which didn’t seem to bother Clinton). Certainly a change from the Mainstream Media which for the most part are still fawning over Obama, downplaying his toxic judgement and baggage, and acting like the campaign is over even if Obama loses by 10 pts. or gains another disgruntled BillClinton-era superdelegate.
QUOTE: “I’m 100 percent in favor of (…) making it clear that we have got to figure out what we’re going to do with people,” she said.” /QUOTE
Stating the problem is much different from proposing a solution. It is a great way to make it sound like you’re actually saying something substantive when you’re not, though. What DO you suggest we “do with these people”?
In the whole election cycle, I only recall having heard one candidate identify a problem and not only propose a solution, but then also add, “And here’s how…”
I agree with Hillary when it comes to not cracking down il illegal immigrant sanctuary cities. This country needs more criminals and the government should just leave criminals alone. There is no law against being a criminal or harboring criminals. It is great that we might have a president who understands that America needs more criminals on the streets. I haven’t been mugged in my life. That is definitely a problem. My city needs more criminals and Hillary is the one who can fix this problem. Down with law abiding citizens and up with criminals. Go Hillary !!!
It’s amazing to me that all of the democrats, or should I say ‘progressives’, are always ready, willing, and able to cut and run anytime there is any confrontation. How soon we forget our past, remember the Twin Towers, well, as long as our security is challanged, ala Iran, our presence ‘in the middle’ is vital. I think that in the Middle East, the only thing the extremeists understand is force and strength. Without our ‘presence’ in Iraq, the entire Middle East would be a powder keg. Both B.H. Obama and H. Clinton just don’t get it and their actions, if elected, will only cause us to be viewed as weak, unreliable, and cowards. It’ll open the door for more episodes of terror.
LAST TIME I CHECKED I THOUGHT THE PRESIDENT WAS THE TOP OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, WHOSE JOB IS TO EXECUTE LAWS CREATED BY THE LEGISLATURE… IF SHE IS NOT WILLING TO PERFORM THAT BASIC TASK, WHAT MAKES HER QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT? IF SHE IS WILLING TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY ON A LAW SUCH AS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, WHAT OTHER ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES IS SHE WILLING TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY ON? DID OUR CONGRESS ENACT A BILL THAT TRANSFERS OUR BILL OF RIGHTS TO ALL PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD, CITIZENS OR NOT? SEEMS AS THOUGH OUR POLITICIANS ARE GOOD AT MAKING LAW AFTER LAW, YET HAVE NO REAL INTEREST IN ENFORCING THEM, ” I GOT THIS BILL PASSED, I SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED FOR MY GOOD WILL GESTURE…”. EVEN THOUGH WITHOUT PROPER EXECUTION THE BILL IS NO GOOD. MAYBE WE SHOULD STOP SPENDING SO MUCH TIME WORKING ON NEW LEGISLATION AND WORK ON ENFORCING THE LAWS WE ALREADY HAVE ON THE BOOKS? JUST A CONCERNED AMERICAN…. NOT A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN, OR INDEPENDANT… JUST PLAIN AMERICAN.
Hopefully before its too late, the American public will learn that our common interests are more compelling then our personnel interests. We long ago gave up our right to elect the best person to be president, when we sleeplely allowed the permanent incubants to take away a more open process to find the right individual. Instead we settle for the lesser of two evils, because we only ratify the choices of the party machines. Unfortunately the only real way for the American People to take back its government, will be term limits across the board, for all offices. (get rid of the bums just not my bum won’t get it done) Turnover is healthy, more people will participate, and the harsh conditions ( the politics of personal destruction) will be replaced with the type of urgent problem solving, actual results campaining, that will bring the respect of the people back for their government. The current form of who can outslime who, has caused us all to turn a jaundiced eye toward our politicle leaders
Your interview with Hillary was truly insightful . It displayed a softer, more charming side to her. Sen. Clinton displayed her ability to be feminine, intelligent, and direct. I truly appreciated the fact that even though she may disagree with comments or opinions of others, she still listened to what you had to say and then almost always tried to display common ground before citing her differences. Our future President has to be able to listen to the tones of others. As an undecided, this has made my decision easier, if nominated I will vote for Clinton.
Sen. Obama has too many controversies re: questionable personal views and associates. I don’t believe that most people have the emotional capacity to sever all ties with anyone that has had been such a staple in their life, as in both barrack and his wife, Michelle. Their dismissive attitudes when questioned about their pastor or affiliations is insulting. What are they trying to sweep under the rug when they both continuously slam the proverbial door shut when asked. Furthermore, Michelle Obama’s interview with Anderson Cooper was ridiculous and appeared pathetic having Caroline Kennedy there to hold her hand. She didn’t offer any insight to her presence. The same old routine in play, question asked — door slammed. There are no secrets when you run for public office. I don’t feel that Obama is strong enough or ultimately has anything to offer aside from prepared speeches. It would seem anytime he goes off the cuff he puts his foot in his mouth. Haven’t we had enough of that with Pres. Bush!
Obama is really for the people and what matter most, Hillary is all about me, myself and I!!!
Is all about her- NOT!!!!
Obama ‘08
We got your back!
I watched the entire interview and THIS WOMAN KNOWS HER STUFF!. I was very impressed that she handled every question that was thrown at her without the ‘Umms and Ahhs’ you hear from Obamma whenever he’s not reading from a script. She is obviously versed in every aspect of what a President needs to know and reinforced the Ready on Day One claim. As Obamma revealed during the last debate, he is not ready for any unrehersed Q&A. After the O’Reilly interview, this registered Republican is now all for HILLARY!!!
Joe Andrew is another JUDAS in former Bill Clinton cabinet. This is the big mistake Bill Clinton hired during his presidency, hiring bunch of JUDAS. Obama is not going to win in November and this will come back to hunt the JUDASES.
I will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon but IF THEY DO THAT WOULD BE VERY BAD FOR AMERICANS AND THEIR ALLIES!! Hillary are you retarded? How would they create one if you just keep bombing them back to the stone ages? Your whacked and I have now brought my support back to McCain.
RICH………..did you ever know of a poor man creating jobs?
also who owns the oil companies.I have storck.
I would have liked to have seen more questions about Vance Foster, Travelgate, pillaging the White House; the endless string of corruption and graft that swirled, not around BILL, but around HILLARY during the Clinton Administration. Is she expects to be give the keys to the treasury, AGAIN, she should have to face some tough questioning about those issues. The mere passage of time does not mean that anything has changed.
