ImWithStupid Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Does anyone really buy Hillary's claim that she misspoke about being, "under sniper fire"? Clinton's Bosnia Trip Claims Scrutinized Posted by Brian Montopoli A 12-year-old report by CBS News' Sharyl Attkisson has been making the rounds following scrutiny of Hillary Clinton's claim that she and her party landed "under sniper fire" and were told to "run to our cars" during a 1996 trip to Bosnia. Clinton also said there was "no greeting ceremony." Attkisson's report seems to contradict Clinton's assertion. In it, Clinton is seen waving as she arrives in Bosnia. She is greeted by the country's acting president as well as an eight-year-old girl. You can watch the report by clicking on the video box at left. On Sunday, the Washington Post wrote that there are "numerous problems with Clinton's version of events," which have been challenged by the comedian Sinbad, who accompanied her on the trip. "A review of nearly 100 news accounts of her visit shows that not a single newspaper or television station reported any security threat to the first lady," writes the Post. Attkisson has now written her own take on the events, which has just gone up over at the Couric & Co. blog. There, Attkisson reports that while the trip was dangerous – it was "easy to imagine we may be narrowly escaping enemy bullets," she writes – "we had no known incidents of enemy fire on our aircraft."

snafu Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 This didn't surprise me. She's been taking credit for stuff she hasn't done all along. She thinks she's running for re-election Quote "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws. That's just insane!" Penn & Teller NEVER FORGOTTEN

ImWithStupid Posted March 29, 2008 Author Posted March 29, 2008 Can it be true? She lied/miswrote/misspoke again. Clinton and family leave WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton takes credit on her campaign Web site for helping to pass the Family and Medical Leave Act, which allows workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for family emergencies. ADVERTISEMENT On the campaign trail, she makes similar claims, while offering credit to Democrats in Congress and sometimes singling out chief Senate sponsor Chris Dodd, a former rival who has endorsed Barack Obama over Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination. THE SPIN: On her Web site, Clinton includes a list of issues she "has fought for and will make a priority as president." These include: "helping to pass the Family and Medical Leave Act to enable new parents to take time off without losing their jobs, and expanding it to make it available to more parents and to provide for longer leave." Obama's campaign scoffs at Clinton's claim that she helped pass the law, pointing out that it was signed just weeks after her husband became president, and it had passed Congress twice previously. THE FACTS: Bill Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act on Feb. 5, 1993, 16 days after he became president. It was the first major legislation of his presidency, and the fulfillment of a key campaign promise. Former President Bush had twice vetoed similar legislation. The first lady joined her husband at an elaborate Rose Garden signing ceremony, where the president singled out 10 legislators from both parties for their work on the bill. He did not give a shout-out to his wife. Clinton and family leave - Yahoo! News Quote
Old Salt Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 C'mon, now. That's about enough Hillary bashing. Don't you know that it's genetically impossible for a politician to tell a lie? I believe everything they tell me. That's why it's so hard to make a decision on who to vote for. Quote

I believe everything they tell me. That's why it's so hard to make a decision on who to vote for. I was gonna ask you.. How do you vote? Send it mail or do embassy's handle it for you? Quote
Old Salt Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Absentee mail-in ballot. I don't vote in any local elections back home. Been away too long and don't know anybody and can't follow local races this far away. Hometown mayor and city councilmen are all running unopposed this time anyway. Quote
wez Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Absentee mail-in ballot. I see.. That's nice. They must send you the forms to fill out.. Just federal I would imagine or can you still do State and be a citizen of one if you live abroad? Quote
Old Salt Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 If you pay taxes in the state, you can vote. And if you own property there, you pay taxes. Quote

Old Salt Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Depends on who you're talking to. Most of the bad feelings toward Americans these days is because of the dollar tanking (but that's just my opinion). It's amazing how many people have dollars. Absentee mail-in ballot.

It's amazing how many people have dollars. Makes sense.. the dollar was the standard for so long.. I hope we can get someone in office to stop printing money.. been going backwards to cater to the rich on Wall Street.. They are gonna have a fall sooner or later no matter what the fed does. Why keep trashing the dollar? Makes no sense to me.. Like I always say.. they are their own worst enemy and will destroy themselves. Just wish they didn't have to take me and everyone else along for the ride.. Sorry, I missed that one.. I didn't read the whole thread.. Quote

I edited probably at exactly the same time you were composing and your post beat mine. Thus the last part of my previous post wasn't there. Quote

ImWithStupid Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 Either the entire country is smoking pot and can't remember the Clinton scandals of the 90's or Bill and Hillary are the most charismatic and powerful couple in the history of the United States.
