Obama gains on Clinton in US presidential race
April 30, 2007
US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s popularity has grown among likely voters, according to a poll released Monday which suggested he was gaining on rival frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
The poll by the Rasmussen Institute predicted Obama would get 32 percent of the vote in February’s primary, compared to 30 percent for Clinton, who until now has been the consistent favorite for the Democratic party.
While the report noted that it marked the first time a candidate other than Clinton came out on top, it nevertheless pointed out that Obama’s percentage gain was “statistically insignificant.”
Hillary: Repubricans are rike Godzirra

For some reason, when Hillary Clinton speaks to black audiences, she insists on delivering her words with an odd “Al Jolson meets Richard Petty” kind of accent, and breaking into an incredibly insulting political version of ”Mammy.” She’s done this on at least three occasions, and has tried to till more plantations than Robert “King” Carter himself.
Last week, at a National Action Network meeting, with Al Sharpton right next to her, Hillary pulled out her fake accent once again, culminating in the assumption that all blacks are maids for white people.
“We have ta reform our government. The abuses that have gone on in the last six years – I don’ think we know the half of it yet. You know, when I walk into the Oval Office in January of 2009, I’m afraid I’m gonna lift up the rug and I’m goin’ to see so much stuff uhn-der thar … You know, what is it about us always havin’ to clean up after people? … But this is not just going to be pickin’ up socks off the floor. This is going to be cleanin’ up the government.”
Ouch. If there’s ever a movie made about Hillary’s presidential run, it should be called “White Candidates Can’t Jump.”
Where’s the outrage from the perpetually offended likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who witness Hillary’s insults first hand and just nod in agreement? If John McCain, Rudy Guiliani, or other GOP candidates morphed into what can only be described as a political ”Amos & Andy” routine, they’d be run out of politics, and probably the country.
But no, the Clintons are charmed and suffer little or no consequence for their ridiculous actions. If anything, they’re used to being rewarded for them. Did Hillary go too far this time? Nah, she’ll be fine. It’s “business as usual.” Hillary’s pulled off lots of fakery over the years: A southern accent, a New York accent, she’s a Yankees fan, she’s a Cubs fan, she’s a Jew, she’s a southerner, she’s a northerner, she’s named after Sir Edmund Hillary, she’s black, she’s a maid, she’s a lucky investor, she bakes cookies, she stands by her cheating husband, she’s a staunch feminist.
Hillary and the “but” factor
April 30, 2007
By: David Rojay
Three Hundred was the title of a recent movie about a battle between the ancient Spartans and Persians. The Persian King landed on Grecian shores with eighty thousand troops to proceed inland and reach his objective. It was necessary to march upon a narrow cliffside road. The Spartans blocked the way with only three hundred men and after two days of savage fighting they still held the pass BUT….. the Persians found a secret passage behind the cliffs which allowed them to encircle the Greeks. To coin a Greek word, it was a catastrophe; a catastrophe that eventually led to the burning of Athens.
Several hundred years later the last survivors of the Kingdom of Judah barricaded themselves atop the fortress of Masada. It was a place well stocked with food and water high atop a desert plateau. The nine hundred plus Jews who defended it thought it could not be overrun BUT….. the Romans built an earthworks as high as Masada and dropped a bridge across the chasm. The Jews, knowing they were doomed, committed suicide. Only one survivor, the historian, Flavius Josephus lived to tell their story.
There are many times in history that the BUT FACTOR has put an end to widely held presumptions. In relatively recent times, Napoleon and Wellington stood at the Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon was the better known of the two men, a man with Godlike military credentials. It was widely presumed that the French would win the day BUT….. on the day of the battle, Napoleon came down with the flu and the day turned disasterous for the French.
And so it has been into modern times. William Jefferson Clinton was presumed to be the best president in the post-war years. The economy was booming as it had never boomed before. The country was at peace and the Yuppie culture was riding high on waves of prosperity BUT….. W. J. Clinton (a man who could have had most women in Washington) could not pass up a BJ from an intern in the oval office. He was not thinking of his wife, his daughter or the country and he failed all three; thus pulling the rug out from under Al Gore and opening the door to the disasters of the last six years.
And now, alas, we have his spouse, Hillary Rodham Clinton, a woman who has stood behind him with love?…… and calculation. Until recently it was widely presumed that she would be the nominee of the Democratic Party in 2008 BUT….. along came Barak Obama, a young man with many fine qualities, a young man who may make a good President in fourteen years or so when he has more experience (more about Obama in a future blog). BUT….. never overestimate the judgement of American voters, who have made him a serious threat to Hillary. He has now raised more money than Hillary and has been able to “woo” some of her backers to his side. Therefore, Hillary’s BUT FACTOR is full blown and it raises some serious questions: 1.) Why doesn’t she apologize or recant her vote for the illegal Iraq invasion. She was certainly for the invasion as evidenced in a speech she gave on October 10, 2002 in which she parroted the Bush administration’s line referring to “weapons of mass destruction” and Saddam’s infamy. Now she has the lives, the blood and the maiming of countless Americans and Iraqi’s on her head. 2.) If in the unlikely event that she is elected president, to what extent will Bill Clinton influence her. Would he end up being the defacto president the way that George Wallace ran Alabama when his wife was Governor? It goes without saying that Bill Clinton has many political and intellectual skills BUT….. he also has baggage-lots of it. How does that work with Hillary as president? 3.) The Likeability Factor. In my Desilu days, I asked Danny Thomas, “What is the most important factor in show business?” He removed his cigar, looked me straight in the eye and said, “My boy, people either like you or they don’t like you.”
This is Hillary’s problem isn’t it? Perhaps Hillary should follow the lead of Segolene Royal, a candidate for the presidency of France. Ms. Royal campaigns in dresses, projecting a soft, loving image to French voters. She has even posed in a bikini; ——–of course, we don’t want to see Hillary in a bikini do we? But I have come to the conclusion that nothing would benefit Hillary Clinton so much as a diet. Let’s face it; in addition to all the other BUT FACTORS, she also has a big BUTT FACTOR.

Carl Bernstein Book to Contradict Hillary
April 29, 2007
Carl Bernstein’s new book on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton contains information that will show “discrepancies” in Clinton’s past, according to the Sunday Times of London.
“Bernstein reaches conclusions that stand in opposition to what Sen. Clinton has said in the past and has written in the past,” Paul Bogaards, a spokesman for Knopf, which will publish Bernstein’s book June 19, told the newspaper.
Bernstein has been working on the 640-page biography, “A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton,” for eight years, and interviewed more than 200 of her friends and rivals.
According to the Times, the book will show how Clinton “has played fast and loose with the facts about” her life.
Bernstein’s effort was aided by the fact that he was granted access to private papers of the late Diane Blair, one of Clinton’s closest friends.
The Times notes that Hollywood mogul David Geffen said earlier this year that “the Clintons lie with such ease, it’s troubling.”

Hillary on the Hot Seat
April 29, 2007
By: Paul R. Hollrah
There is word in recent days that Hollywood mogul Peter F. Paul, the co-founder of Stan Lee Media (SLM), who has pursued a major civil suit against Bill and Hillary Clinton for more than two years, is preparing to release a newly recovered videotape containing evidence that Hillary has, in fact, committed a series of felony crimes. Paul’s attorney has said that the videotape represents “smoking gun evidence.â€
So what is the basis of Paul’s lawsuit? Let’s review the facts.
In the summer and fall of 2000, Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the United States Senate needed money – and lots of it. According to documents disclosed by the United States Justice Foundation, the Clintons approached Peter Paul for help.
Recognizing the commercial value of the Clinton name, Paul quickly moved to make a deal. He would agree to spend up to $525,000 underwriting a Hollywood fundraiser for Hillary during the week of the Democratic National Convention if Clinton, himself, would agree to join the SLM board when he left office in January 2001. Consequently, in July 2000, while still in office, Clinton struck a deal reportedly worth $15 million in stock, cash, and Clinton Library contributions. (Hmm! Wonder why Democrats insisted on Newt Gingrich’s scalp for signing a $4 million book deal before he left office.)
Billed as a “Farewell Salute to President Bill Clinton,†the event attracted some 1,400 of Hollywood’s wealthiest and most famous glitterati. The Host Committee included names such as Norman Lear, Gregory Peck, Rob Reiner, Mary Steenburgen, Ted Danson, and George Hamilton. Other Host Committee members were then-Governor Gray Davis, Denise Rich (of Clinton pardon fame), and Senator Ted Kennedy’s brother-in-law, Raymond Reggie, who later became an FBI informant.
The event featured a 3-hour private concert with performances by Cher, Diana Ross, Patti LaBelle, Melissa Etheridge, and others, followed by a VIP dinner. The price of admission to the concert was a $1,000 contribution to Hillary’s New York senate campaign, and anyone purchasing concert tickets was given the “opportunity†to purchase dinner tickets at $25,000 per couple.
Unfortunately for Paul, when all of the costs were totaled he was “in the bag,†not for the $525,000 he had agreed to underwrite, and for which he was to be reimbursed, but for well over $2 million. But what was most distressing to the Clintons and to Hillary’s campaign team was the knowledge that, after expenses, the concert and dinner produced little, if anything, for her campaign coffers.
However, when the Clinton campaign filed its campaign finance reports with the FEC they simply lied. They reported the total cost of the Hollywood fundraiser, not at more than $2 million, but $401,419. Everything over that, some $800,000, all of it in-kind contributions, was put into the campaign coffers as “hard money†contributions, while Paul was left to pick up the tab for all the remaining costs, putting him well over his $2,000 legal limit.
Of course, not wanting to be too close to a contributor who had broken the law, the Clintons took immediate steps to distance themselves from Paul. According to United States Justice Foundation reports, on August 15, 2000, three days after the Los Angeles event, the Washington Post mysteriously reported on Paul’s 25-year-old felony conviction.
According to the Post, Hillary’s weasely spokesman, Howard Wolfson, was quoted as saying that the Clinton campaign “would not accept any contributions†from Paul – this just three days after Paul had been forced to make, involuntarily, what must be the largest individual campaign contribution to a single candidate in American history.
Two days later, in a follow-up story, Wolfson admitted that he had “misspoken.†The Clinton campaign had received a $2,000 check from Paul on June 30, 2000. He went on to say that, “today we returned that check.â€
At this point, Paul might have concluded that the Clintons were not entirely trustworthy. But lest he have such doubts, in the days that followed the Clintons assured him, through third party messages and personal letters, that their deal was still on. Feeling reassured, Paul responded positively to a request by Clinton’s finance director, Howard Rosen, that he transfer $100,000 in SLM stock to a political group in New York that had agreed to support Hillary’s campaign.
Finally, adding insult to injury, Paul received “an irate e-mail†in November 2000 protesting his failure to make a $250,000 contribution to the Clinton Library, as promised. He wrote the checks.
Although it took some doing, Paul finally got the message that he had been completely “hosed†by the Clintons and he filed a civil suit to collect the funds the Clintons swindled from him. Paul may be angry enough to forego the evidentiary value of the tapes and make them available for broadcast on national TV. We can only hope.
