Hillary Clinton
A look at a life and career full of firsts.
From Our Partner:
As Hillary Rodham Clinton prepared to return to life in the Senate and announced that she will campaign with Sen. Barack Obama in New Hampshire on Friday, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee began reaching out to female voters who had formed the backbone of Clinton's support in the primary season.
The Obama-Clinton event will take place in the town of Unity, in the southwest corner of a swing state that Obama hopes to carry in November. The symbolism goes beyond the town's name, as Clinton and Obama each won 107 votes there in the January primary.
But New Hampshire is also the state in which Clinton first demonstrated her strong connection with older, working-class women, a group that Sen. John McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee, is now working hard to attract by lauding Clinton and depicting Obama as inexperienced.
At a town hall meeting here on Monday, Obama praised the women responsible for his upbringing and outlined his record of pushing to address issues important to women. The only men in the room were reporters, campaign aides and Secret Service agents.
"I would not be standing before you today as a candidate for president of the United States if it weren't for working women," Obama told the group. "I'm here because of my mother, a single mom who put herself through school. . . . I am here because of my grandmother, who helped raise me. . . . And I am here because of my wife, Michelle, the rock of the Obama family."
As the working-class women in the audience nodded, Obama continued: "Too many of America's daughters grow up facing barriers to their dreams, and that has consequences for all American families. It's harder for working parents to make a living while raising their kids. And we know that the system is especially stacked against women."
He told the group that McCain had opposed the Fair Pay Restoration Act, a bill sponsored by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) in response to a Supreme Court decision requiring women to seek back wages for pay discrimination within six months of the first discrepancy.
"Senator McCain thinks the Supreme Court got it right," Obama said, as the crowd groaned. "He suggested that the reason women don't have equal pay isn't discrimination on the job -- it's because they need more education and training."
The McCain campaign countered with a memo outlining the Republican's support for legislation that would allow parents to work more flexible schedules, and would offer more tax relief, especially for small-business owners.
The memo also notes that McCain and his siblings "were often cared for solely by his mother while his father was away on long military deployments" and adds: "He has said that this experience has often taught him of the struggles many women face in raising families."
A day before returning to vote in the Senate, Clinton sent her supporters an e-mail on Monday with a videotaped statement soliciting contributions to help her retire more than $22 million in campaign debt, but she did not make a similar appeal on behalf of Obama.
Saying it was the beginning of the "next chapter of this historic journey," she recapped recent events. "We've blazed new trails, broken old barriers and transformed the political process forever," a smiling Clinton said, speaking directly into the camera with a vase of yellow roses in the background. "Together we made history, and I will continue to work toward our common goal of building an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us. This goal is shared by our Democratic Party nominee, Senator Barack Obama, and I look forward to campaigning with him across this great country of ours."
She concluded: "I hope you will continue to stand with me and support me by going back to HillaryClinton.com. We still have so much to do together. We've made history. Let's make some more."

''You''re likable enough, Hillary!''
''You challenge the status quo and the claws come out!"
"I understand that Senator Clinton, periodically when she''s feeling down, launches attacks as a way of trying to boost her appeal."
"You know Hillary was taking every opportunity to get her digs in there...that''s all right, that''s why she''s only airing negative ads in PA on tv. (shoots finger while saying her name)"
Yeah, we''re just gonna jump out there and vote for this sexist street punk!
- YES ! MYSELF INCLUDED!
MCCAIN 2008-2012.

How could he bring her down any further...she LOST nomination!!! If her own husband didnt bring her down by betraying their marriage in front of the whole world, then how can supporting the Democratic Nominee????
Fast forward to today and we see OsamaObama has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar of big ethanol producers while he continues to advocate higher crude prices.
Hey OsamaObama....Will that Jimah Carter like "Wind Fall Profits" tax of yours include your ethanol producing buddies????
What''s this you Democrat Santors are telling us Americans...
"Go drill ourselves?!?!?"
What''tha ...?!?!?!
GO DRILL OURSELVES?!?!?!
=======================
BTW: This is what I just ordered as a rear window decal to be worn proudly until OsamaObama quits taking big ethanol cash in exchange for continuing to drive the price of crude up.
fundraiser, to explain why he is not accepting public financing for the General Election he is telling his African American and Liberal base it is because they will use his Race, African American, against him.in the General Election.
He is ARAB /American not African/American. He only has 6 or 7 percent African blood in him. And that is what scares many people in this Country.
Don''t be duped by Barack Obama, the far-left socialist.
Reject socialism!

Keep having that little delusion, Chitown. Obama never won a damned thing. He was APPOINTED as the nominee by the DNC who ALLOWED him to refuse to the count the votes actually as they were cast in two states! Remember, neither Obama or Clinton got enough pledged delegates to win it. Then it became up to the DNC. Funny isn''t it, how oil and energy money starts to look wonderful when it''s helping your cause. Of course it''s nasty, nasty if it helps the other party.

Perhaps we should get George Bush to go back over to Saudi Arabia and kiss the feet of the Saudi Royals AGAIN, and beg for more oil production.....no one make a bigger profit off of skyrocketing oil prices than oil men, like Bush and Cheney.....Bush figures if we threatens to invade Iran next, maybe he can get the price of oil up to $200 a barrel....its all profit for him and his buddies!!!!
There was this Obama supporter being interviewed and she say''s....X millions do not have healthcare...
O''reily says, so you think citizens should have a right to healthcare...she says yes
O''reily says, so since loving without food is harmful to your health, do you think we should have government paid food...she''s like, yeah, food stamps, etc
O''reily says, so living without a house or being homeless is bad for you....so the government should give everyone basic housing
The supporter said "well don''t twist what I''m saying.....
Liberal Socialism exposed....it was comical

You are a sick puppy. Maybe some day you will get over having a black president, although you still havent gotten over Hillary losing when its apparent that Hillary herself has gotten over it. Maybe if you went out bought yourself some new clothes that would make you feel better....I hear the Michelle Obama Dress is the hottest thing going these days, get yourself one.....HE HE HE!!!!!
BUT 20 years, a quarter of a lifetime, spent at a racist church that hates whites. What will Obama do when he is president , with following the Black Value System, will he use all his resources to Elevate Black over White.
Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:
1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of %u201CMiddleclassness%u201D
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.
Obama%u2019s thesis is full of paranoid claims and overtly racist feelings. She cannot accept the idea of a diverse student body working together in a melting pot. Others worry about her black militancy here.
%u201CI have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don%u2019t belong. Regardless of the circumstances under which I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.%u201D
Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America, but she elevates black over white in her world.
%u201CThere was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I was somehow obligated to this community and would utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost. %u201C
What is Michelle Obama planning to do with her future resources that will elevate black over white in America?
Well if any of the peasants start getting uppity you can just gun them down as an agent of the ruling class, right, pig?
It''s *** bakwards statements like this, what you mean is everyone one who loves racist America.

89% of Democratics are racists, bigots and womanizers. They are murders, thieves, liars and propagandists. They are the very reason for all that ails America today. Since the Democrats took the majority the stock market went south, oil peaked, housing dropped and if it wasn''t for W and McCain, the war in Iraq would have gone south too. Now they have a George Soros puppet who is bought and paid for to get up on his pulpit and preach black liberation theology to the American People. Why the Rev. Jeremiah taught him well.

What you people still trumpeting the same old tired racist BS when you let this Marxist shill loser become the nominee!!!
Guess what happens when you come out with a full front attack against white Americans? You get it thrown back in your damned face and told to get on your camel and ride out!
Democratic party is the party of race, woman, blacks, *** the entire rainbow coalition. They are unified by their diversity and their bigotry. They hate anything that is conventional, moral, traditional, and American. They are murders, thieves, liars and will do just about anything to steal an election. That''s just the way you people are.
If its Fox News, it has no credibility or integrity.

====================
Zoe, Zoe, Zoe, you little Ruskie pinko.....This information did not come from Fox News.
It was published in the New York Times. Fox merely picked it up.
Something none of the other OsamaObama worshipping networks have been willing to do.
But, the story can''t be contained forever.
Your boy is a criminal just like Chris Dodd and that other Democrat Senator caught taking Countrywide cash in exchange for a tax payer funded bale out.
Just like DiFi and Harry "Palms" Reid. Two other Democrat Senators who used their positions to put money in their pockets.
What do you have....Some former GOP Senator supposedly tapping his toe in a bathroom stall and the fact VP Cheney used to work for an oil well servicing company that produces not one drop of oil??
Sen. Obama, what do you mean when you say we Americans can all go drill ourselves?
or,
Sen. Obama, what do you mean when you say Americans can all go drill themselves?
And in Obama they see their children free from a 100 year war in Iraq.
In Obama they see their children owning hybrid cars and use alternative energy.
SEN. OBAMA, what do you mean Americans should go drill themselves?
89% of Democratics are racists, bigots and womanizers. They are murders, thieves, liars and propagandists.
Source please. I know, the Southern White Baptist Gazette for the fundamentally ill. After Obama wins Georgia in November, watcha gonna do, go on a killing spree?
Posted by neoconism
So source, just fact. Just like you people posts your facts, I post mine. You peopole are bigots, racists, murderers, liars and womanizers.
In McCain they see darkness because they probably already dead.
They see centuries of war and pollution.
Oh, and P.S. Georgia don''t like the Bama! Just don''t trust the dude. He preaches liberation theology, just like the Rev. Jeremiah.

Hmmmmmm?? Interesting. Reckon any of them might be smart enough to understand the true defintion of a liberal?
Reckon any might begin to wonder about their childrens future in America if they help elect the #1 most liberal member in the Senate?
A liberal who is so Marxist he makes Bernie Sanders (the only admitted socialist in the Senate) look like a moderate.
Or, might you be telling us women are just too blame ignorant to get a handle on such complicated thoughts??
Your post is as patronizing as we might expect from the typical hyphenated-American.
Barack Hussein Obama is not legally a U.S. natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, whick falls between "December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986. Presidential office requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. citizen parentsUS Law very clearly stipulates: "If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16." Barack Hussein Obama''s father was not a U.S. citizen and Obama''s mother was only 18 when Obama was born, which means though she had been a U.S. citizen for 10 years, (or citizen perhaps because of Hawaii being a territory) the mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years prior to Barack Hussein Obama''s birth, but after age 16. It doesn''t matter after. In essence, she was not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. citizenship. At most, there were only 2 years elapsed since his mother turned 16 at the time of Barack Hussein Obama''s birth when she was 18 in Hawaii. His mother would have needed to have been 16+5=21 years old, at the time of Barack Hussein Obama''s birth for him to have been a natural-born citizen.
Georgians don''t like him because the RamaLama is a screwball just like you. He is a bigot and a racist and he plays the victim card. There''s nothing genuine about him and the people see right through him. As for you, I can smell the grease and slime oozing out of your rotted brain. You are a perfect example of the bigotry and racism that your party represents.
