Nobel Winner: Hillary's Northern Ireland Peace Claims A "Wee Bit Silly"

London Telegraph:

Hillary Clinton had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and is a "wee bit silly" for exaggerating the part she played, according to Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of the province.

"I don't know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill [Clinton] going around," he said. Her recent statements about being deeply involved were merely "the sort of thing people put in their canvassing leaflets" during elections. "She visited when things were happening, saw what was going on, she can certainly say it was part of her experience. I don't want to rain on the thing for her but being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principal player."

You mean she's a liar???? Shocking!!! I'm shocked I tell you!! Shocked!

So she WAS visiting and drinking tea!!! WOW, she is getting put on blast now. She padded her resume. She has made these claims part of her stump speech in 37 STATES!!!

This is fraud.
This is what, Exhibit W, why she should not be President?
If people knew the truth about her, this would not have gone on this long.

"SHAME ON YOU, HILLARY CLINTON!!! ---SHAME ON YOU!!"

Sincerely,
Barack H. Obama
44th President

It's Silly Season Again....What a liar and a fraud! I am sure the Clinton supporters will justify this too. I can hear it now..."Being a CheerLeader is just as important as being a Football Player, You Obama supporters are being mean and sexist towards her".

And the media will bow down and say, "Yes, Ma'am!"

Bill and Hillary Clinton...

They kept our boys out of Northern Ireland.

"There is no record of a meeting at Belfast City Hall, though Mrs Clinton attended a ceremony there when her husband turned on the Christmas tree lights in November 1995. The former First Lady appears to be referring a 50-minute event the same day, arranged by the US Consulate, the same day at the Lamp Lighter Café on the city’s Ormeau Road.

The "Belfast Telegraph" reported the next day that the café meeting was crammed with reporters, cameramen and Secret Service agents. Conversation "seemed a little bit stilted, a little prepared at times" and Mrs Clinton admired a stainless steel tea pot, which was duly given to her, for keeping the brew "so nice and hot"."

Just what the country needs, another President who likes to make things up. Explains why those pesky records need to be kept hidden.

By the way, Obama won Texas, not Clinton.

Obama needs to play this up BIG. It sickens me to think if Hillary had lost the primary she would have dropped out. She has more lives than a cat.

He needs to play up the true NAFTA story, as well, and to straighten out the reporting of what Samantha Power actually said regarding his position on Iraq. He simply cannot depend upon the media to get the stories out--they've been too well manipulated and cowed by the Clinton Machine. And most Americans won't look any further than the popinjays on their local or cable networks . . . they don't care about finding the truth unless it's spoon-fed to them.

Silly? I call it by a different name: A LIE!!!

Obama needs to run ads showing how HRC has exaggerated (lied) about all of her experience as first lady when she really did just have tea and cake!

[riverhouse]

Everything about her claims are a "bit silly". She had tea with other wives when she was first lady while her husband did business. Is that the criteria for being president, having had tea through an interpreter all over the world while someone else tending to the business of state? Must we vet Obama on his tea and social chit chat abilities? Do First Ladies get called for tea at three o'clock in the morning?

[joselopez]

Wuld you expect anything different from a Clinton!!!
