The Clintons must be laughing to themselves quite a bit lately, especially when they think about how far they have progressed in primaries without having to go public with their tax returns.
Oh by the way, they plan on presenting the tax returns after the primaries, Hillary said during the debate that she has been to busy lately. Yes, I'm sure it would take a lot of time out their busy schedule to call their accounts and ask them to fax the returns to the appropriate agency,...they obviously have a very low opinion of the American public's intelligence.

I was a staunch supporter of the Clintons, even through the Monica Lewinsky debacle at the time, although in retrospect, I feel that the Clintons did a great deal of harm to the youth of our country, almost overnight, the children of this country had a crash course primer on oral sex, presented by the President of the United States, effectively stealing away some of our children's innocence. And yes, I included Mrs. Clinton, as Andrew Young has said, she was well aware of the women in Bill Clintons life, apparently in detail, why would Ms. Lewinsky have been any different. As far as I'm concerned, she more than likely lied to America when she said that she believed that the President was being truthful with America in his denial of having sex "with that woman" of course, as far as she knew.

BTW, nice going Gloria Steiman, Hillary is the perfect feminist to support, I'm sure that there are many men in America, that wish they could work out the arrangement that BIll, apparently has with his wife.

Then America had to sit and watch Bill Clinton make a mockery of the Presidential Pardon system, I know I sound bitter, that's because I am bitter. What could have been a great Democratic presidency ended in disgrace and probably cost us the 2000 election, making the results closer than they should have been, thereby making it much easier for the Republicans to steal that ellection.

And now we are presented with one of the most divisive Democratic primaries in 40 years, threatening to tear apart the party, thanks to the Clintons. I am not going to go into detail about recent events, as I'm sure that the readers of this blog are most likely well aware of what is happening, but I guess, for me it started getting ugly when Bill Clinton marginalized Obama's win in South Carolina, that was truly disgusting.

So the question is, what have the Clintons done lately for the Democratic party lately?

All these Clinton negatives will come out during the general election any way, and so by getting them out during the primary campaign, the ex-senator Bradley is really doing a big favor to the Clintons and the Democratic voters. By the same token, all the negatives of Senator Obama should come out now; we have a right to know. However, demand the information without demonizing the candidates, Republican or Democratic.

Senator Clinton is not releasing her Tax records. Why? What is she hiding? Knowing the Clintons, people may be thinking of something worse than what she is actually attemptig to hide. or, may be not. The Clintons had surprised us before. On behalf of the American people, our news media has a responsibility to make strong and incessant demands to get this kind of information out in the open.

Bill Bradley a blast from the past. I often wonder if he ran for president to save his marriage.

Now the Clintons know who there real friends are. I am from the school of thought that party big wigs should wait until all the primary elections before endorsing a candidate. Why the sudden rush to surround Obama? If Bradley and the others feel Obama have a better chance at beating John McCain then Clinton, why are they so ansy? If the man is going to win he will win no matter what the situation. He must be allowed to take a licking and keep on ticking. I hate to draw parallels but look at the Clintons. They went through hell and came back and still remain on top. As they say you can't keep a good man down. If Obama is strong he will be strong no matter what happens. The media and all others should just relax and allow Obama to grow. He needs a few battle scars. He who is unscathe is not saved.

Just a few months ago all eyes were on the Republicans (McCain, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson and oh yeah Mike Huckabee). Let's face it the Republicans didn't like any of the candidates. Had Romney not lost so big, he could and should still be in the race (he had the money to fund it himself). But logic sat in and he realized it would be impossible to clench the nomination. This reality isn't the same with Clinton and Obama. At the end of the voting cycle neither candidate will have the required votes to clench the nomination; therefore, the Super Delegates will need to do what they were created to do. We probably don't like it, but the process has existed for nearly two decades.

Just Chill to all!

Everybody here realizes that this financial backing is for Clinton's charitable foundation, right? Could someone please explain to me how Bill's ability to talk people into giving money to fight AIDS in Africa is a bad thing? Even if some of the folks doing the giving are morally questionable, which I'm sure is the case, it's difficult for me to understand how that's going to turn into a scandal. It's not like Clinton's taking this money because he's behind on his American Express payments - the man makes six figures a speech, so he's not exactly hurting. And exactly what sorts of dubious favors is Bill Clinton even in a position to perform in exchange for charitable contributions at this point?

Secondly, Bill and Hillary Clinton probably have had their financial records examined more thoroughly than any two individuals in American history (google 'Ken Starr', kids). I doubt either one of them would be dumb enough to pull some sort of bookkeeping funny business at this stage in the game, they must be well aware of how closely they're being watched. on this front. Bottom line: this is not a scandal.

Bill Bradley is frankly a more honorable person than the former president and should be taken seriously on the issue of this Clinton quid -pro- quo stuff. I think it's likely the ex-prez would take large sums of money in exchange for a pardon or a contract. The republicans can't run an economy or fight a war but they excel at digging up dirt on democrats.

What I want to know is, why do these guy's always build a "presidential" library in their name when they leave office? Really? is it some kind of tax haven? Who wants to read the crap from Reagan in the Reagan Library? or Jimmy Carter Library? or Ford/Nixon Library?
AAAnd Bush?!.........don't get me started!!!!

give it a rest people.

they both owe the money people big time............it just depends on which money
bag you approve of getting the quid...........just like always.

If the Clinton camp thought there was any dirt on Obama, I can guarantee if would have been brought up by now.

OMG! If Bill Bradley spent a fraction of his time researching Obama's rise to power and financiers as he has devoted to denigrating the Clintons he would be eating his words today. The $millions from a Lebanese living in Britain helped with his initial rise to the US Senate...let alone the millions if not more from The Henry Crown Family, the Chicago elite mafia, General Dyanamics and --so much more. Neither is clean; both are dirty; because neither come from inherited wealth. Both have accepted contributions from everyone from everywhere. Unfortunately those candidates who rise to the top from modest such as Bill and Hillary, Barack Obama, and many others need money to run campaigns....nothing has changed it just has gotten exponentially expensive. So Bill Bradley, check out your choice's finanical contributions before you run after his opponent's!

WHY did Hillary Clinton, with her brains and Bill"s mega-Rolodex of Democrats all over the country, NOT contest the caucuses? WHY did Hillary not even try to organize her supporters to attend and win the Idaho and Nebraska and all other caucuses?

Even extreme hubris is not a workable explanation " wouldn"t the "inevitable" candidate want to roll up big wins everywhere, to show her strength?

Instead of running a campaign designed to achieve a big, clean victory, she has run a campaign so incompetently that the only win available to her now is an ugly, divisive, guaranteed-to-lead-to-Democratic-loss-in-the-fall, split-the-Democratic-party-for-a-generation bloody win.

Now, in the last couple of weeks, her strategy has become more obvious " she"s running a campaign to elect McCain!

Her below-the-belt comments praising McCain"s experience over Obama"s and her disingenuous answer to the question about Obama"s faith on 60 minutes now make sense. A very smart woman like Hillary should have been able to give a straightforward answer to a simple question about whether Obama is a Muslim " but instead, she weasled on the question and then whined about her own difficulties.

Hillary has been around long enough to know that respectable Democrats do not provide sound bites for the Republicans " it is fine to criticize Obama, but it is NOT acceptable to denigrate a Democrat in comparison to a Republican. Not amongst mature adults with good judgment, for certain.

The only reasonable explanation remaining is that Hillary is working to elect McCain. She"s just not honest enough to join the Republican Party and work openly toward her goal.

Hillary Clinton: Working for McCain"s election since Day One!

During Bill Clinton's Presidency, many liberals saw his administration as GOP-lite

but far more effective and less harmful than the twelve years that proceeded him.

Now that BushCo has exposed government at it's worst, people are seeing more

of the corruption and entanglements that have plagued both parties of the swamp.


With Hillary's pro war votes and her failure to fight the growth of corporate influence,

over half of the Democrats now see Hillary not just as GOP-lite but now, neocon-lite.

Well over half of the Republicans seriously dislike her but the far right now see her

as kindred to their real goals, the virtual reality of the Norte American Fascist Union.


Billary's backers are the same international corporations, Big Oil and MIC that have

backed BushCo but now prefer the more sophisticated and less revealing facade

that the Clintons offer them. What Bill Bradley sees in Barack Obama is hope that

America can be led from corporatism and change our course back to POPULISM!

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts is a nonprofit organization that is a health care insurance entity. The CEO was paid 1.36 million in 2006 and 3.6 million in 2007. The Chairman was paid 1.73 million in 2007. The former chairman received 16.4 million to retire in 2007. Average premiums increased 7.5 percent.

The CEO of Harvard Pilgrim was paid 1.38 million in 2007. The CEO of Tufts Health Plan was paid 1.19 million in 2007.

If the President of the USA can be paid a salary of $400,000 then that should be enough for any executive of a nonprofit regardless of revenues.

Since these organizations are acting like for-profits in the manner in which they run their organization compensations and incur costs should they be stripped of their nonprofit status?

The states should allow access to the nonprofit organizations to have their employees be on the state medicare system for a flat fee per month. This will give the medicare and nonprofit system better pricing options.

The other option is to have nonprofits create a cooperative insurance company that they have better control over for costs and benefits.

Health care insurance and medical expenses should not have to make you bleed money as well!!!

The Clintons had their chance to attack and change the health care system. Just look at Bush and what hea has done when folks disagreed. He still did it. Base on their association with people in the various corporate world, it was about money and not what was best for the country.

Bill Bradley , John Kerry, Ted Kennedy - All presidential hopeful losers . Obama supporters you can have them. Far left candidates can not win in America. I think Ted got what 30% of the vote when he ran. Good luck holding your hat on these guys.

Given the two Bush administrations, coming on the heels of two Clinton administrations, the two most vital attributes needed at this point in time in a presidential candidate is accountability and transparency, neither of which is available to voters with Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton's financial dealings are clearly a huge problem for her, as are her orchestrated Senate efforts to support these financial deals with taxpayer incentatives. I doubt we'll see the Clinton post presidency tax returns or the donor list to the Clinton library or the release of her White House papers. Hillary and Bill have a long history of secrecy, parsing, manipulating the truth to their ends. And I think those are deadly traits to be putting in the White House at this point in time.

Great point! Of course Bill Bradley will be accused of being Ken Starr for asking these questions of the Clintons. Hillary is deeply flawed in such a personal level, no one knows what neurotic Hillary will answer that phone at 3:00 a.m..
