I took issue with the assertion that everything about Clinton is "out there" -- she hasn't released her IRS returns from the past seven years, there are library documents that remain unreleased, we don't know who the donors to the Bill Clinton Library are.

"I will grant you that, let's say that there's 10% about Hillary Clinton that we don't know yet, I will grant you that, but I would say there's also about 50% about Barack Obama that we don't know yet," Rendell said.

If my chief strategist was on the Columbian government's payroll I'd be quieter and hush my surrogates too.

What we know about Rendell: He insulted all of his white constituents in Pennsylvania by implying that they are ignorant bigots, not ready to vote for Obama. I think the people of Pennsylvania are smarter than he thinks.

Link to court filings in the Peter Paul vs. Clinton lawsuit:

Go to www.lasuperiorcourt.org (Los Angeles Superior Court) and look in the CIVIL Column, then Click on CASE SUMMARIES then enter these numbers in the box BC304174.

Next court date I believe is April 24th.

Reading the article, it looks as though Rendell is attempting to whitewash (not Whitewater) Hillary by bringing up largely discredited or minimalized stories about Obama. Obviously if there were serious issues with Obama, the Clinton's well known and highly regarded attack machine would have gone after them. This seems a slightly lame attempt to grasp at straws hoping to bundle enough to keep the Clinton Campaign alive a while longer.

MSNBC and NBC both owned by General Electric who is the largest corporation on the planet is promoting Obama - possibly to have him take a dive in the general election against McCain. Or, possibly because Obama is supporting nuclear energy and voted consistently on this. General Electric controls all of the nuclear plants in american, and many throughout the world.

General Electric is rapidly buying up from it's competitors all alternative sources of energy such as coal, wind, and solar.

Obama would be one more candidate owned by an energy company. Why else would a complete unknown with absolutely no presidential experience be allowed so much media press positioning him to be the President.

Americans are being had again.

Tellmethetruth, I'll tell you the truth: based on what you've written here, you are not qualified to judge Obama's presidential experience. This is true of anyone who says that Clinton or McCain has more presidential experience than Obama.

As Tumult said, only presidents have presidential experience. However, there are qualities a candidate must have in order to be an effective president. The most relevant barometer that we have of any prospective president is the manner in which he/she has run his/her campaign. So, if you really want to know about Obama and how he may perform as POTUS, just look at how well he's run his campaign. By all accounts, he's been exceptional.

Unless your an incumbent president you do not have presidential experience. Every single one of our presidents did not have presidential experience prior to attaining office. Nice attempt at spin though.

A comment that there's 50% we don't know is illogical and pure spin. You can't attach a percentage to something you don't know. And if somehow you could know what you don't know in order to attach a percentage to it, the statement would still be false! Because now you know! Parse it out and you've gotta love this whirlpool of nonsense.

Decisions need to be made on what is known instead of on the specter of what isn't. To me, this is pure garbage played by the weak hand.

I'm extremely concerned about a campaign that plays the boogie man around every corner. That basically tells me there's no substance to build on within the Clinton camp. This is all one big, self-serving smokescreen.

Ed Rendell.

Joe Scarborough.

Robert Byrd.

Pat Buchanan.

Rush Limbaugh.

These "gentlemen" are ALL of similar ilk and beliefs. Ethnic diversity is certainly not one of them, regardless of qulifications.

While Hillary Clinton battles Barack Obama on the campaign trail, a judge in Los Angeles is quietly preparing to set a trial date in a $17 million fraud suit that aims to expose an alleged culture of widespread corruption by the Clintons and the Democratic Party.

The lawsuit is real, regardless of its source of reporting. The trial has been taking place (motions heard) for more than a year, now). The PDF of the filed motion is available.

And there is a 100% of Hillary which we shouldn't trust.


I'm sorry, but you Hillary supporters are a bunch of idiots for trying to down play Hillary's huge and stupid lie! How overly sympathetic do you have to be to say that her bold faced lie was a misstatement? It was no exaggeration! An exaggeration is something that has some truth to it.

It boggles my mind that you Hillary supporters are trying to play this lightly and still support her after all this. If she is dumb enough to lie about something so easily provable, how the hell are you expected to believe her, possibly for something so important or vital and even earth shattering if she were to be in office??

And just HOW does Rendell know that it is 50% and not 10%? If there are things you don't know about a person, then you CANNOT POSSIBLE be able to know the percentage that you don't know.

Rendell is an idiot!

I think the country has heard close to everything there is to know about both candidates. What the country doesn't know is how the Republicans are going to present their case against the democratic nominee. The media and the Clintons have been so easy on Obama. There are so many contradictory statements on record, video, and published in his own books that the Republicans will have no trouble keeping him on the defense.

Don't come back with what they can do to the Clintons; you want the race to be between Obama and McCain, so stay on subject.

If Hillary had attended a church for 20 years with a Reverand preaching white supremacy and anti government rhetoric from the pulpit - and adopted that pastor as her mentor - do you really imagine anyone would consider her Presidential material?

We're discussing anti-government rhetoric in our home and in our community on a daily basis - and it is because we love our country, because we want our government to represent the Consitutional ideals!!

And we are supopse to take her at her word that she hasnt done something comparable to Obama sitting in a church where a guy say something controversial. And for the record see this is how misinformation happen Rev Wright doesnt preach Black supermacy he condemn White supremacy (imagine condeminging something like that) and American aggression overseas and even on its own shores.

Rev. wright was a marine, then in the navy...he could not even sit at a lunch counter but he loved his country enough to die for it. There are 6 years between the clips that have been played in a continous loop... who ever looked for those clips, looking for something to put on Obama found these. So again we will fall into the trap that we were led to about Iraq...lies are easy to lead folks to, just say someone is UnAmerican, Unpatriotic.... I was called a traitor for not wanting to go to Iraq. So if Rev Wright was so incenderary all the time, why the 6 years inbetween?

Who has the most to gain from Obama geting sidelined by this?
Have those who are gripeing about Obama seated in that church ever watched all of the sermons? Has anyone fouind that Obama was in the pews when those particular sermons took place?
Really folks..we be Americans, not some third world to be led by the nose so easily.

All things said and done, the Nazis did have exceptional skills in that area. This does not mean I admire or support what the Nazis did. One can learn from your enemies, and adopting things that work from those whom you oppose is not nessacarily a bad thing.
