Let's define DECEPTIVE. The act of misleading. A trick meant to deceive, fraud, sham. Can someone PLEASE answer why are Hillary supporters asking others to back a candidate who AGREED with the stripping of delegates in Florida and Michigan to be as deceptive as that candidate? The country is watching this flip-flop (actually blantant deception). And now Hillary wants us to believe this latest--- "bloggers in government agencies". What's next?

Is anyone at HuffPo gonna report that Ms. Clinton is breaking her word and is going to campaign in Florida now? Hello, is anyone awake there?

I feel this shows her total lack of integrity.

Send her back to Wal-Mart!

On a pragmatic level do we need a frigid president with a hyper-sexed husband back in the White House? That's part of the experience package the Clintons bring. Bill is a hopeless liability for Hillary and the nation. Please forward this blog to the Clinton Offices of Strategic Planning and Surrogate Out-Sourcing. Bill may have her intellect but he'll never have her body.

What's the purpose? Could Hillary possibly be offerig transparency? Will the "bloggers" be screened as they are on her website as we speak? Get real! That's a joke----as the other proposals WILL BE to get a VOTE.

I've got a better idea: let's put government agencies inside bloggers.

OTAY!

She is trying to "buy off" bloggers by implying that they'll get cushy government jobs in her Administration.

Yeah, just write favorable stuff about Hillary and negative rants about Obama and you'll be tight with her campaign..­.. then you'll get one a them cushy government jobs in DC!!!

Hillary's found her running mate:

In the ancient Arab world, the kings or sultans would dress down to disguise themselves and go to the various functionaries in their bureaucracies and see how they were treated. If they were treated without the degree of compassion the king demanded of his subordinates they might lose their offices or even their heads. Those who treat others with respect were often rewarded richly.
In our present molly-coddling world, no degree of mean spiriteness disqualifies a person from keeping and holding power. In fact, any offenses and disrespect are forgiven in both our leaders and their functionaries. Excuses range from having a bad day, having a different communication style because of their race or sex, or that the habits of highly efficient people do not have room for considerate, kind manners necessary to properly serve others.
Bloggers are not kings, nor are our presidents and CEO's, but if they got out and checked out the real world, the information they would receive by doing work beneath their pay grade might enlighten them and teach them the humility necessary to engender real change in our political and business systems.

Let's put professionals in government agencies and stop trying to woo bloggers to give you a pass, Hillary.

Bloggers are doing a great job at exposing the Press for being the useless government shill it's become. Bloggers are doing an even better job at keeping "Centrist" dishonest warmongers like Hillary Clinton from ditching important Senate duties, like showing up to vote against giving immunity for lawbreaking to Republicans and their corporate pals. Why put bloggers into the very agencies that they're trying to keep honest? Why not just people who are good at those functions? This just screams hollow pander.

BTW, I've said ONE YEAR in the US Senate, he start RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT after his swearing in!


OBAMA WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO WIN! HE IS LYING TO YOU AND YOU BUY IT!

OBAMA IS INCOMPETENT TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY! A LAZY ASS SENATOR, EVEN HIS WIFE TELLS EVERYONE HER HUSBAND IS LAZY!

I don't want a LAZY ASS PRESIDENT, I don't want a FORMER DRUGGIE and BOOZER for a President. We already have one in the Whitehouse right now.

Bush has a LOT of CHARISMA like Obama, Bush was also a UNITER like Obama, Bush was hopes and dreams like Obama; WHERE ARE WE NOW AS A NATION?

OBAMA IS AN EMPTY SUIT! PATHOLOGICAL LIAR! CORRUPT! His buddy is SYRIAN BORN ANTOIN "TONY" REZKO. Michelle Obama was the mentor of her husband, she work for the law firm who represent TONY REZKO for his deal.

YOU PEOPLE ARE SO NAIVE! YOU BUY THE HYPE OF THE MEDIA ABOUT OBAMA! You want the Republicans to stay in the Whitehouse, you MIGHT just succeed. We'll work hard to see to it Hillary will win the nomination. We want someone to lead this country NOT a cheer leader or feel good President. That's what Bush was all about in 2000 feel good candidate like OBAMA, now our country is in the SHITHOUSE!

YOU MUST HATE AMERICA SO MUCH YOU WANT ANOTHER BUSH IN THE WHITEHOUSE CALLED BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Hillary and whether or not she would follow through on something like this, let's not toss the baby with the bathwater. It's an intriguing idea, and while any blogger embedded in an agency is at risk for developing personal ties that would dilute their objectivity, there are plenty of people capable of maintaining it--a la old style White House reporters. And as long as we're brainstorming, what's to prevent a rotating blogger arrangement--say, three months at a time in any agency, then the beat would go to a different blogger.

Dreaming about transparency is part of bringing it about.

Hillary Clinton is supporting Dodd on FISA. The reason oldtimers democrats like Kerry and Ted Kennedy is endorsing Obama, they CAN control him. Kennedy and Kerry are EXTREME LEFTWINGERS, they're no different than Bush who is an EXTREME RIGHTWINGER. Hillary Clinton is a moderate.

Obama will NOT win for simple reason majority of the American people are MODERATE.

Not only Obama has not shown any leadership for one year he's in the US Senate, he doesn't have a track record to speak of to support his hopes and dreams. He hasn't accomplish anything! When he was a state legislator he consider it a PART TIME POSITION. He made a promise to the people of Illinois he will not run for President if he's elected as US Senator, he BROKE his promise just like he BROKE his PLEDGE not to campaign in Florida.

OBAMA IS RUNNING AD CAMPAIGN IN FLORIDA! HE IS A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, EMPTY SUIT AND CORRUPT!!

[Jericho]

Whahaha. Hey, I have an idea. How about we just put some honorable, competent people inside the government agencies instead of us, 19 yr old know-it-al­l-potheads (just kiddin ofcorze). You know, the kind of people who haven't been bought or politically appointed in the first place. How about you get some people that care more for the greater good than for personal gain?! Hell, if only the president would always be this respectful, the blogosphere could probably be rendered futile in a day.

What about health care? Iraq? the economy? Habeas Corpus?...­Why all this unverified, drama causing, off topic, unimportant concentration on speculation and second guessing?

DISTRACTION FOLKS! Stop drinking the damn kool-aid and start paying attention to what the issues are! We feed the fkn frenzy from our very willingness to fall for the "disruptor's story lines".
