The Swamp

By Don Frederick

Barack Obama's two little girls are too young to date yet, but if their dad were to end up serving two White House terms, they might want to take heed of some recollections from Hillary Clinton today.

At a forum in North Carolina that, as the Associated Press story put it, focused less on politics and more on "chick chat," Clinton reminded her audience that Chelsea, her daughter (and current key campaign surrogate), "was a teenager in White House, which meant that the Secret Service went on her dates. A lot of her girlfriends' mothers loved it when they double dated because there was a guy with a gun in the front seat."

She offered no word on how the guys courting Chelsea felt about that.

But she did concede that for those fellows, "It was really intimidating to talk to her father. And, I guess, to me."

The gathering was sponsored by the Web site momlogic.com, which has more on it here.

I can imagine the responses you've already received--trashing HIllary.
When associated press----the STYLE for the entire industry thinks it's okay to use 'smart' yet profoundly dismissive lingo about the ONLY LEGIT candidate left in the race, we can only assume one thing about the media---it's not fair.


I think the Clinton's did a wonderful job of raising Chelsea..She appears so poised, intelligent and respectful of her parents and elders..She has been astounding with the election..Being a teenager in the White House did not seem to effect her..She seems very down to earth and just a good human being..Good Job Clinton's..Bill was a fabulous President and I know Hillary will be also. BRING OUR SOLDERS HOME....


America, END THE CLINTON/BUSH DYNASTY!!!


Barack Obama's two little girls are too young to date yet, but if their dad were to end up serving two White House terms...

If pigs were to fly...

If the Cubs were to win a World Series...

If John E were to grow a brain...


"Chelsea Clinton tried to help her mother attract the gay vote in Pennsylvania by visiting several lesbian bars. That's true, yeah. Yeah, when asked to comment afterwards, Chelsea said, 'I've never seen so many women with my mom's haircut.'"
--Conan O'Brien


"Hillary Clinton was shown at a bar in Indiana drinking a beer, and doing a shot of whiskey. Hey, and it worked. Today, Ted Kennedy switched back. 'I'm for Hillary now!'"
--Jay Leno


"Did you all see that? She took the shot with the beer chaser. Did it like an old pro. To give you an idea how much she drank, when the phone rang at 3 am, slept right through it."
--Jay Leno


"Big shake-up in the Hillary Clinton campaign. This is huge. Yesterday -- true story -- Hillary Clinton's top adviser abruptly left her campaign. When he heard about it, Bill Clinton said, 'Wait, we can leave?'"
--Conan O'Brien


"Poor Hillary. She went on my friend Jay Leno's show last night. She's still trying to put that whole Bosnia sniper fire thing behind her. She said, 'It's been so long since I've been pinned down by anyone.'"
--Bill Maher


"Hillary Clinton was in Philadelphia, where she told the crowd she is like the movie character Rocky. Now, if I remember the movie correctly, doesn't Rocky get the crap beat out of him and then he loses to the black guy?"
--Jay Leno


"Are you familiar with the Hillary Clinton 3 a.m. phone call commercial that she's been running? Well, she's got another one of those, and the phone rings at 3 a.m., Hillary answers the phone, she picks it up, and she says "Stop bothering me, President Obama!"
--David Letterman


"This weekend, Bill Clinton said Hillary should not drop out of the presidential race. Yeah, when asked why, Bill said, 'Because then she'd come home.'"
--Conan O'Brien


"Hillary was caught in a bit of a lie. When she was first lady, she went to Bosnia when it was war-torn. She said that she faced sniper fire -- never happened. And had to run to the car for cover -- never happened. If only she had channeled that active fantasy world into her marriage."
--Bill Maher

GO AWAY!...and take Billary with you.


It's amazing that we see how the media trivializes Hillary and makes her focus on anything but the big issues she's learned so much about (despite Barry's depracating comments about first ladies--Guess Michelle will serve tea in a pink tube top).
Now we'll hear that Obama 'won Guam! By seven votes!
BFD! It's a CAUCUS!
BUT NOTE THAT EVEN THERE THE TIDE IS TURNING!
Hillary can't focus on all his gaffes (though that's exactly what he would do to her) and yet he is pummeling her--going ENTIRELY ON ATTACK OF HILLARY.
Note To Rabid Obama supporters: Hillary is NOT your Enemy--she's our HOPE for the FALL.
Just because your Messiah has LOST HIS MIND doesn't mean you must do the same.
Another note: We don't VOTE the way we do in the primaries. Guam might go to HIllary in the Fall. In fact, given the closeness and the issues involved--it probalby REALLY woulda gone to Hillary in a conventional voting situation--like the FALL.


And this is relevant how?


How embarassing it must have been to have dates meet the father who had sex in the oval office with a girl not much older than you. Jeremiah Wright has done nothing to this country compared with what Bill Clinton put us through whether you believe it should have been his personal business or not. Were it personal, he should not have used an office we all pay for. Poor Chelsea with a mother who could not protect her from that but who thinks she will now protect us despite all the BAGGAGE other than Bill. But we don't have to hear about this day and night. Wright is fair game but history of the Clintons is taboo. Amazing country. Not racist, you say?


miffin--most together kids realize their parents are not perfect people.
It means they're capable of changing direction, opinions when necessary, and, yes, capable of forgiving people who sometimes stumble.
But Clinton never let this country down. And his wife will do an even better job.
Stop the anger. Fire on a different emotion. Stop the blogging--take a walk. Meditate. Don't listen to Barack's message of hate so much.
He fooled you.
You don't want to admit it.
That would be hurtful wouldn't it?
Don''t project Barack's failures onto Hillary. she's not the enemy.
We're not the enemy.
But if Barack doesn't fold into Clinton's canpaign soon, and calm his angry, militant, hateful wife down (she can't always hide it, can she--it sure came out the other day when she wanted to attack meredith and susan but remembered she was wearing that pink tube top thing for a reason--to project soft girliness.
come on!


I can smell the blog room at Obama HQ.
Such hatred they spew!
I posted a reasoned comment about what the problem is with the Obama campaign--the media coverage using a phrase like "chick chat" and not realizing it for what it plays into.


And calling somebody an 'old bag' is polite?
This blog concerns sexism---why did racism come into it?
And what did Hillary have to do with the fact that the black nationalist racism that the Obamas feed their children for breakfast is now being exposed?
hello?
We're not the enemy. We're trying to win the country back. don't try to destroy Hillary and her supporters. Join us.

GET LOST!


and take Billary with you!


Wow--a new group sprang up at the Obama HQ!
That arugula wine must do a number on da haid.


Wait. Wasn't Chelsea too ugly to date?

Yet another lie by Hillary.


"feminazi's" ...? "shut up, you old bag! " ...?

John E, your hysterical hatred of women is disturbing. You need help.


John E,

Quoting stand-up comics (yet again) doesn't make much of an argument. Not one that can be taken seriously, anyway

And sorry, but posting under half-a-dozen names in the same threads really doesn't create the impression of a groundswell. See, that doesn't work when you repeat the same things, using the same distinctive voice.


I don't understand why people thing hillary is so great--- she lied about the sniper right- ck out what esle she lied about-- opps could this be the reason why she trying so hard to get in the white house--- so she won't have to go to court--- i also wonder why the Peter Paul case is not getting as much press as the The rev Wright-- opps that explains why they say the uneducated votes go to hillary huh- opps they only go by whats being replayed on the tv--- interesting thought ck out the web site
http://hillarytruth.blogspot.com/


John McCain has sons that are in the military serving our great nation [now]...has Chelsea done that? Or Barack's wife Michelle? We all know Barack didn't...he's too close to [anti-American] Rev. Wright and William (weatherman underground terrorist killer) Ayers.

Hey Barack...you aren't running for president of a lefty university...with Ayers as V.P.

Your in the big time now...for President of The United States...and you don't cut it.

Paulo


Paulo,


You forget our Deserter-in-Chief Dubya who was a no-call, no-show at the Alabama Air National Guard and Darth (5-deferment) Cheney.


Last but not least - if your going to take cheap shot at Chelsea or Michelle - then you have to include Laura and the Bush twins in the mix.


That said, all you chairborne chickenhawk tough guys who post here just crack me up.


All cluck, no action.


Hillary should stick to worrying about her own husband and his next scandal.

I have faith in the Obamas that they will do a fine job raising their daughters.
