Clinton Shakes It In West Philly

(CBS)
From CBS News' Fernando Suarez:

Hillary Clinton visited a senior citizens exercise class at the YMCA in West Philadelphia today, and the beat of the music was too much for her to resist.

The dancers spun around the floor as Clinton bobbed up and down in place. The famous song by James Brown played in the background, "we're gonna have a funky good time. We're gonna take you hiiiiiigher" at which point Clinton waved her hands in the air.



Clinton, who has not danced publicly throughout this campaign, and often makes fun of her singing abilities, briefly let loose. She kicked her legs to the beat of the music and moved her shoulders from side to side.

Clinton must have been thirsty after busting a move. She soon left the YMCA and crossed the street to the 52nd Street Diner where she ordered an ice tea. Asked by a reporter about her dance moves, Clinton said, "I tell you what - that was a better workout than it might have appeared at first. I think we need to put that music on the plane."

give me a break.. she needs to join that senior citizens home. Perfect place for her.

By the way did anyone mention the fact of her trying to relate to voters about shooting a gun and being church going? Yet she didnt want to answer the last time she went to church or shot a gun? Dont try to Relate to ME if you cannot carry a converstion in detail about it.

Go Obama

Hillarys problem is that voters know how easily the Clintons lie; and that both Hillary and Bill would lie on a stack of bibles.

Misspeaking is one thing, repeating something over and over makes it a FLAT LIE !!
The Clintons simply cannot help themselves; they tell a big lie when a small lie will do. And they tell a small lie when the truth will do. After careful training from Bill, Hillary can lie out of both sides of her mouth at the same time even when there''s no particular reason to.
Lets face it, it takes a bare faced liar to confuse a hug from a little girl in Bosnia with the terror of running from sniper bullets. Not convinced? Then maybe you think she confused it with that other occasion she had to run from sniper fire !!!

If you are inclined to overlook Clinton lies just because Hillary is your favorite for nomination then just look at the trouble the country is in because of the lies of President Bush: one million Iraqis and over 4000 American servicemen dead; that%u2019s right DEAD, all because of lies. So you see, the lies of a President really do matter and God help America if the world famous misspeaking Clintons get elected.

I loved this one. You could tell she would have loved to have really gotten in to it if it hadn''t been for the cameras. Yeah...we know where her roots lie. Somethings don''t change and for some of us irregardless how the times have changed we still get a real charge out of the old Motown. Don''t care what these kids say....those were some good days with REAL music.

She can blend in well. She can relate to people with ease. No elitism. No condescension. She has no hesitation to just be herself and go the length of what is natural to her and not over extend and pretend to be something she is not. She can relate well, she can listen well. She will be a terrific PEOPLE''s PRESIDENT.

Glad that you can see her blending so well.. This is the real Hillary Clinton. She is so GENUINE. She can relate to people with ease. There are no pretences. No elitism. No condescension. She is a wonderful human being. She can relate to people well. She can listen to people with ease without making them feel small. She is going to be a TERRIFIC PEOPLE''S PRESIDENT.
