Hillary Tells Bill To Back Off On Bosnia Comments

(CBS)
From CBS News’ Ryan Corsaro:
Hillary Clinton is telling her husband to back off from making comments about her trip to Bosnia after he blundered several facts when defending the trip yesterday.
“Hillary called me and said ‘I misstated it, you misstated it.’" President Clinton said. “She’s right, I wasn’t there, I don’t remember the facts either.”
He said ultimately his wife told him, “you weren’t there, let me handle it,” to which Clinton says he replied, “yes, ma’am.”
At an event in Boonville, Ind., yesterday, the former president said that the media “blew up” the story of Clinton’s visit to Bosnia in 1996. He claimed his wife made the comments that she avoided sniper fire and canceled a welcoming ceremony - which were later disproved by CBS News video of the event – were comments she made late at night while sleep deprived and that she had apologized.
In fact, she made the statements around 9 a.m. in a prepared speech on March 17th, and later repeated them at a press conference that followed. She claimed to have “misspoke,” but never actually apologized for the comments.
Asked if he was going to bring up the event while campaigning in the future, Mr. Clinton said he would not. “But I think I talk about at every stage what she did for the troops,” he added.
Clinton went on to say his wife had a real record for supporting troops in combat and veterans of war.
President Clinton was visiting the site of the Clinton headquarters in Terre Haute, which burned down in a fire yesterday. Two workers at the campaign office escaped without injury.
When asked if it was a bad sign, Clinton said, “No, I think it might be a good omen. We’re rising from the ashes like a phoenix.”
"Next, We%u2019ll See Him Run an Ad Saying:Vote For Me, I Don%u2019t Steal Cars.%u201D
"The important thing is that she was there. Our soldiers saw she was there and heard her and knew that our country cared about them and what they were doing," West told the AP during a telephone interview.
Vote Obama.. the real choice!
Sock it to the little shill!
What is her campaign thinking, letting him go off on his own without his "handler?" Then again, her campaign is what has hurt her the whole time - they''ve taken a candidate that should have had a cakewalk to the nomination, and turned her into an object of derision.

Is Hillary sure he''s not on the Obama payroll as well as the Columbians?
She guffaws and says something about angels on the head of a pin. The tells for them lying - Bill scratches his head, Hillary guffaws.
The Clintons'' back in the White House?! That''ll get you thinking or worrying---whichever!
Anyway, this article is about him "mis-speaking" about Bosnia, and there''s no doubt everything is IN context. She''s right to tell him to back off. Maybe he IS inhaling now.
Misspeaking is one thing, repeating it 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.
Look at the trouble the country is in because of the lies of President Bush so God help America if The world famous lying Clintons get elected.
Obama on small-town PA: Clinging religion, guns, xenophobia
Mayhill Fowler has more from Obama''s remarks at a San Francisco fundraiser Sunday, and they include an attempt to explain the resentment in small-town Pennsylvania that won''t be appreciated by some of the people whose votes Obama''s seeking:

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing''s replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
And it''s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren''t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
That''s a pretty broad list of things to explain with job loss.

Symptoms include forgetting where you are and whom you are with, fantasizing about life threatening situations, forgetting to pay your bills, and telling your spouse to SHUT UP!
Two confined cases of this virus have already been established among the cowardly Whimpo-crats and neocon Fascist Nazis fear that this virus has affected their ranks as well with one highly probable case among their ranks which may have been contacted during his frequent trips to Bagdad.
Anyone suspected of being infected with this virus should drink a bottle of Geritol every day and keep someone with you at all times to remind you where you are and who is fighting who in Iraq!
SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!
sig heil, (more of the same) McCain!!!
1) CANCEL YOUR CABLE / SATTELITE TV: let the corporate media moguls (and their advertisers) know that you will no longer pay for their propaganda.
2) DIVEST FROM WALL ("WAR") STREET : the banking ELITE are systematically selling out the middle class to the lowest global bidder yet they still demand the average taxpayer to bail them out when times are tough.. start your own HEDGE FUND and invest in land, GOLD and SILVER.
3) START YOUR OWN BANK - buy a fire safe and fill it w/ cash/coin etc.. don%u2019t empower the banking ELITE to do funny things with YOUR MONEY.
4) SUPPORT & DEVELOP LOCAL ECONOMIES !
- if possible, BURN WOOD for heat;
- support local ORGANIC growers or grow some of your own food;
- implement alternative energy sources (solar, hybrid autos etc ..)
- develop local means of commerce not based on fraudulent Federal Reserve Notes.
5) AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE BEGINS WITH YOU - healthy eating habits and exercise will create less demand on the system meaning lower costs. You%u2019ll have plenty of time to work out once you UNPLUG THE TV DRUG.
6) STOP UNNECESSARY CONSUMPTION & STOP USING YOUR CREDIT CARD !
7) DECENTRALIZE ! - the global economy is nothing more than a ploy to centralize power, control and wealth into the hands of an elite few - blinded by misinformation, the American people are buying right into it - the rich get richer and the middle class is quickly becoming the working poor.
Could if be because they are owned by General Electric who is heavily invested in Excelon who has been Obama''s largest campaign contributor since the beginning of Obama''s politican career???
Gimme a break!
Let''s talk about why Obama went to Kenya and gave a speech in support of Raila Odinga, an Islamic extremist, his cousin, who was responsible for the slaughter of hundreds of Kenyan people in opposition to the government.
I want to know why Obama supported this Islamic extremist!

lol, he raised several million dollars for Hillary''s campaign. :)
I bet old Elton could buy and sell Oprah!
That two and a half million he raised will only permit the Hillary camp to upgrade to up-grade to name brand soda from that no-name *** they''ver been drinking.
I can understand the college kids voting for Obama because there college kids. But when you see this seasoned adults wanting to vote for Obama even after knowing about his Hamas connections, his Pastor, Ayers, RezKo , his radical muslim cousin, Farakahn, Black Panther Endorsement and 90% of Blacks voting for Obama because of his skin color. I can not for the life of me figure why he has so much support. Can anyone give me any reason why they would even consider Obama. Is it because he is good looking and young and talks about change. He has only had 2 years in National Politics. Unbeleivable.
He was back two days ago, when he got back to the mother ship he was laughing so hard his stomach ached.
He said the dimwitocrats trotted out a women that has delusions about ducking gunfire at social events and a black guy that hasn''t the experience to find the bowling ally in the senate.
lol, He''s just getting started.

- I hope no one is fooled by this scripted routine by the Clintons. President Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton are no fools and his reviving this issue is no accident but a calculated risk/scheme to use the same tactics allegedly used by the out going president of Taiwan. It is alleged he hired someone to shoot him in the leg because he felt he would loose the elections. He won that election with the sympathy vote. President Clinton sensing his wife''s defeat, in desperation, is sighting his wife''s age and fatigue for her vivid inaccuracies of the event is merely a plot for the sympathy vote for the tired old woman (Hillary) at 60. It worked in Taiwan. The timing of President Clinton''s apparently naive but foxy move is no accident. The effect of Senator Obama resent intentionally misunderstood comments plus Hillary''s premature senility can be greater then the sum of the two. We are very fortunate that we can see through this and not be fooled by this gimmick. They cannot be trusted. Make me worry about that 3am phone call.
