Hillary Clinton Ads Appear In Chattanooga, Barack Obama Ads Disappear

Comments Below: 46
Two ads hit the airwaves today in Chattanooga and other parts of the state stumping for Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Neither really targets Tennessee voters directly, but do encourage voters to vote on February 5th.
The first one is called "Voices." Clinton says "in this troubled economy, how can so many millions of people simply not be heard? Well, I hear you. You're asking for healthcare that covers everyone. Protection from losing your home. You would like to fill your tank without draining your wallet and give your kids the future they deserve? If I am your president, I will bring more than 35 years of experience to the White House. I will bring your voice."
The second one is called "Falling Through." In the ad, Clinton says "the Bush economy is like a trapdoor. Too many families are one pink slip, one missed mortgage payment, one medical diagnosis away from falling through and losing everything. The oil companies, the predatory student loan companies, the insurance companies and the drug companies, have had seven years of a President who stands up for them. I intend to be a president who stands up for all of you."
Obama's camp reportedly cancelled their ad buy in Tennessee, saying they only intended to run a blitz during the first part of early voting to support those going to the polls early. The ad shown in Tennessee was called "Take It Back." It's sort of an introduction to the candidate piece, that ran early last summer in Iowa. Obama says "I know I haven't spent a lot of time in Washington, but I've been in Washington long enough to know it must change." The ad then trumpets Obama work on ethics reform and how he's refusing money from PACs and lobbiest.
Neither campaign will say how much they spent on their ad buys in Tennessee, but John Bailes, Hamilton County Democratic Party Chair says "the Democrats realize this is a state they can win in 2008 and so running ads this early is not just about targeting for the primary vote but also setting up for the general election, this is a competitive state." Bailes says Tennessee is a Purple state, neither Blue or Red, and its 85 Democratic delegates are attractive to the candidates.

Obama will lose, if Hillary doesn't Win
Submitted by Christopher (not verified) on February 11, 2008 - 7:30pm.
Those of you who are still caught up in Obama's flashing lights, GET A CLUE.
This is not American Idol. If he wins, you will force many Democrats to vote McCain. Not because we don't like Obama, but because he in inexperienced.
Being a Senator for a Year and 3 months doesn't give you the experience to lead the stongest nation in the World. His EGO is too big for the WHITE HOUSE.
Be Patriotic and Be Smart. Vote Hillary Clinton.

We the people do not elect
Submitted by pauseplace (not verified) on January 29, 2008 - 9:28pm.
We the people do not elect the president the electoral college does. So it matters to a point what the candidates are saying but all in all it is the Congress and Senate that write the laws and radify them. If these branches of governemnt do not support the elected president then nothing gets done. Personally I am tired of the "party" system. We are one nation and just because you wear a donkey or an elephant on your chest should not precede the common sense that our government does not exibit. This country has some very real problems, from the national debt to the illegials living here and eating up my tax dollars that should be spent on my family and thier needs. Face up to it, this election is important, but has already been determined. We just get to play along and pretend that we have a say so. Maybe that is why so few peole vote. Why make the effort when families are loosing their homes, can't afford medical care, or food. But let a person from a third world country come here and they recieve the benefits that we all work for but that are given to those less fortunate. My grandparents had to learn the language before they could get a meaningful job, and they where proud to be here and wanted to learn english. What the heck are we doing now? In the City of San Jose when you call any City run office you get a choice of 5 different languages. It takes longer to listen to the choices that it does for anything else. Maybe we need to revisit what this country was founded for and what our forefathers set out to do. I for one will not vote for either party but will voice my disgust with the state of affairs in this country by getting up, getting the kids off to school, myself and husband to work, pick up the kids from daycare at 7pm, go home make dinner, do laundry, pay bills, clean up, go to the grocery store, then get to bed if I'm lucky at 1 AM to get up at 5AM and do it all again. Someday maybe I will retire to be unable to afford my medications, gas or maintain my home. Who the heck can honestly believe that any of the candidates give to craps for the common Joe?

I guess I can also write 4 comments pretending to be different people in support of Hillary. As a former democrat turned Independent, I will cast my vote for Senator Obama in the primaries and do my part to ensure his victory. Should entrenched interests in the Democratic party give this nomination to Hillary who I have now come to dislike, I intend to vote for the GOP (if its John McCain..or stay home if its any other GOP)

Its a sad state of affairs
Submitted by Daniel (not verified) on January 24, 2008 - 4:04pm.
I'll tell you - I've been really unhappy with the Bush presidency and I've been so inspired by the Obama campaign...I really take personal offense when I see all of the negative, malicious and intentionally false information being spread by the Clintons about Obama. Obama has 100% of my vote...I have been so impressed with his ideas, intelligence and character.
But - let me be clear. I will not vote for Clinton under any circumstances now that I see the kind of campaign they are running. It reminds me of the divisive 90's. There is no way that she is going to unite the America I love so much. Important legislation will be held up and our elected officials will continue to put party ahead of country...this is simply not acceptable. I'd rather vote for McCain who has character (and while I don't agree with him on Iraq)....he has the kind of integrity to buck the traditional Republican values and is definitely more centrist and prepared than the others. All of that being said - I'm putting 100% into voting for Obama. I hope he can pull this off - spread the word and stop the lies. You can't believe any one thing from any one source - you have to pay attention to many sources before you can have a sense of confidence that something is "factual"....so open your eyes and actually PAY ATTENTION to the issues. I think you'll find Obama the better candidate.

Use spell check, proof-read what you have written before you hit the send button. Some of you make very good arguments for your beliefs, but it's hard to get past the spelling and grammer errors to pay attention to your passion.
I am for Obama. I have met the man, shook his hand, looked him straight in the eyes, and talked to him. He is the real deal. He has my vote.

No, I think you have amnesia. See as I recall it, it wasn't Hilary Clinton in the White House it was Bill. Therefore just because he was a good president does not mean she will be a good president. She is too hungry for power and has flip flopped her views so often nobody really knows if she is telling the truth or is she just saying what she thinks the people want to hear. Do your research on her and you will find a lot of skeletons in her closet. Whitewater, Ron Brown and the list just goes on and on.

The "Real" Real Deal.
Submitted by Boysie (not verified) on January 24, 2008 - 9:41am.
If you think you have it figured out, then think again.
Do we need someone that mean what they say or someone that will say anything to get what they want? Do we want a break from politics as usual or an all inclusive inspiringly uniting politicking, that is a break from the winner takes it all divisiveness that has become the norm? Do we want to look beyond unfounded fears and take a leap for real change........? It goes on and on and i think i have taken a hard look again. The only discernible answer to these nagging questions, is BARACK OBAMA.

Barack Husein Obama will have 100% my vote and and most of my fellow Californians. The previous writer who says the " Hillary Rodham Clinton is the real deal Barack Husein Obama just can not howto al for the America people." Well who ever you are Mr. or Ms. You are wrong. If I'm not mistaken, what you mean is Barack Husein Obama is black and Hillary it happen to be white, Americans are ready to vote for here. Well America is not Red states or Blue states and hopefully race is not the isue any more. If for what ever reason there are any Americans who believes white is still the master and Blacks are still the Negroes or Slaves, thoes people have not wright to live in any United States of American States. I belive they had a place called Europe and I think still exits. What I mean is who ever you whitefolks who belive in this kind of staff in 2008, you need to go back to your Grand Parents home which is in Euope .

Clinton's Moral Demise
Submitted by Guest (not verified) on January 24, 2008 - 1:17pm.
I can tell you that myself, some friends and family have gotten turned off by the Clinton's behaviour to do anything to win and we will not vote for her if she gets the Democratic nomimnee. Their behavior and distortions like at Meet the Press in which Hilalry said: "Sen. Obama's chief strategist accuses me of playing a role in Benazir Bhutto's assassination.'' When in actuality David Axelrod never made such an accusation. He said former Prime Minister Bhutto's death will ''call into issue the judgment'' of ''taking the eye off the ball and making the wrong judgment in going into Iraq.'' and their recent attempt in voter suppresion in Nevada has shown a lot of people another side to them we did not know existed and it does not look pretty. They have divided the paty and it is a deep division. They seem more like Karl-Rove Republicans than Democrats and it is a shame to see their moral demise!

A vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain
Submitted by Lois Peterson (not verified) on January 24, 2008 - 12:57pm.
Hillary's active and strong negative approach to Barack was a big turn-off at the beginning of last week’s Debate. This is typical of the "Clinton Machine" approach. Read Sally Bedell Smith's "For the Love of Politics" and you will decide that another four or eight years of a Clinton White House will not be in the best interests of our country. The behind-the-scenes manipulations might be politics as usual - but we need to get away from that and take a more unified approach to move our country forward.
Also - remember that Bill will be the unofficial Vice-President…which will lead to more negatives and Bedell Smith's book reinforces the number of faulty efforts of Bill Clinton's administration.
Barack Obama is a reasonable and good person who can bring honesty and strength to our country.

Please dont vote for Hillary. There is so much filth in her closet. I thought Ronald Reagan was a much better president than Bill Clinton. The Clintons lie and should be in prison for White water, Bill signed in NAFTA,WTO etc. and stabbed the unions in the back. They are against tax cuts for Buisnes,but she caters to big buisness. I personally never worked for a poor person. Hillary is under the thumb of AIPAC and other jewish lobby groups and they love her. Obama really won in New Hampshire. If you hand count the vote, he won.The machines made it so that she won. The company where that machine came from is owned by isrealis. Thats why there is a law suite in which Dennis Kucinich aniciated. Hillary is a neo-con and now acts like shes not.(look at her voteing record)Dont vote for her because shes a woman.

Submitted by Guest (not verified) on January 23, 2008 - 10:24pm.
The reason why America is in such bad shape is because our schools does not produce intellectures and citizens with rational insight. We are easily lead like sheep. Why must we continue to have decades of Bush/Clinton? All this means is APAC and other corparate and Middle Eastern lobby group's interest will be served in the White House.
The Clintons represent the same old reality we have seen since the beginning of the 1990s. If Obama was a white man, Hillary Clinton would not even be in the 2007 campaign for the White House.
It seems there is a political conspiracy to keep schools from educating Americans.

I think every vote for Hillary is a wasted vote. She is a egotistical, opportunist who cares more about getting back into the White House than actually carrying out all these "policies" she's borrowed from the mouth of Barack Hussein Obama - Who's name is blessed of God. Hillary doesn't stand for a hill of beans. If she wins the presidency ... we can expect another 4 years of Congressional gridlock. She's a battle-ax and needs to stop barking up Barack's tree and talk about her own agenda. She's a prime example of trying to win by any means necessary - even defamation of character.

Submitted by Oscar (not verified) on January 24, 2008 - 1:57am.
If Bill Clinton is saying it is expected for Barack to get the Black vote and Hillary to get the White vote, wouldn't that suggest a racist America. It appears to me that Barack has been trying to unite the people of America into a single people. I believe that he does have an understanding of how to "Deal with Americans". Perhaps you should re-evaluate whether the Clintons are trying to help America or just trying to win an election. Sounds like politics as usual to me.

I want to ask why you like to be misled for 4 or eight more years. I remember "slick willy" being asked what he was going to do about a 60 Billion Trade deficit we had. The Press kept asking and asking and one day Pres Clinton said he paid and balanced the 60 Billion deficit and had a 20 Billion surplus ! The Press asked HOW HE DID THIS. ? He evaded this question for days then weeks when it was later discovered Pres Clinton BORROWED THE 80 Billion from the Social Security account and yes THIS NEVER WAS REPAID HOWEVER WE WERE LATER TOLD SOC. SEC. WAS GETTING IN TROUBLE AND COULD BE OUT OF FUNDS (as little as the checks are for people who worked and contributed to Soc. Sec for 45 years) If You Had an Intellect on your side you would be well advised to cast your vote to the person that says HOW TO FIX WHAT IS WRONG AND NOT FOLLOW LIKE SHEEP TO THE SAME WATER HOLE ALL ABOUT TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS WRONG.

FIRST FIRST LADY to come
Submitted by Guest (not verified) on January 23, 2008 - 11:14pm.
FIRST FIRST LADY to come under criminal investigation
FIRST FIRST LADY to almost be indicted acccording to one of the special prosecutors
NUMBER of Hillary Clinton fundraisers convicted of, or pleading no contest to, crime: 5
NUMBER OF TIMES that Hillary Clinton, providing testimony to Congress, said that she didn't remember, didn't know, or something similar: 250
NUMBER OF CLOSE BUSINESS partners of Hillary Clinton who ended up in prison: 3. The Clintons' two partners in Whitewater wereconvicted of 24 counts of fraud and conspiracy. Hillary Clinton's partner and mentor at the Rose law firm, Webster Hubbell, pleaded guilty to federal mail fraud and tax evasion charges, including defrauding former clients and former partners out of more than $480,000. Hillary Clinton was mentioned 35 times in the indictment.
IN THE 1980s, Hillary Clinton made a $44,000 profit on a $2,000 investment in a cellular phone franchise deal took advantage of the FCC's preference for locals, minorities and women. The franchise was almost immediately flipped to the cellular giant, McCaw.
HILLARY CLINTON AND HER HUSBAND set up a resort land scam known as Whitewater in which the unwitting bought third rate property 50 miles from the nearest grocery store and, thanks to the sleazy financing, about half the purchasers, many of them seniors, lost their property.
IN 1993 HILLARY CLINTON and David Watkins moved to oust the White House travel office in favor of World Wide Travel, Clinton's source of $1 million in fly-now-pay-later campaign trips that essentially financed the last stages of the campaign without the bother of reporting a de facto contribution. The White House fired seven long-term employees for alleged mismanagement and kickbacks. The director, Billy Dale, charged with embezzlement, was acquitted in less than two hours by the jury.
HRC'S 1994 HEALTH CARE PLAN, according to one account, included fines of up to $5,000 for refusing to join the government-mandated health plan, $5,000 for failing to pay premiums on time, 15 years to doctors who received "anything of value" in exchange for helping patients short-circuit the bureaucracy, $10,000 a day for faulty physician paperwork, $50,000 for unauthorized patient treatment, and $100,000 a day for drug companies that messed up federal filings.
TWO MONTHS after commencing the Whitewater scheme, Hillary Clinton invested $1,000 in cattle futures. Within a few days she had a $5,000 profit. Before bailing out she earns nearly $100,000 on her investment. Many years later, several economists will calculate that the chances of earning such returns legally were one in 250 million.
IN 1996, Hillary Clinton's Rose law firm billing records, sought for two years by congressional investigators and the special prosecutor were found in the back room of the personal residence at the White House. Clinton said she had no idea how they got there.
DRUG DEALER Jorge Cabrera gave enough to the Democrats to have his picture taken with both Hillary Clinton and Al Gore. . . Cabrera was arrested in January 1996 inside a cigar warehouse near here in Dade County, where more than 500 pounds of cocaine had been hidden. He and several accomplices were charged with having smuggled 3,000 pounds of cocaine into the United States through the Keys
In 2000, Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign returned $22,000 in soft money to a businesswoman linked to a Democratic campaign contribution from a drug smuggler in Havana.
IN AUGUST 2000, Hillary Clinton held a huge Hollywood fundraiser for her Senate campaign. It was very successful. The only problem was that, by a long shot, she didn't report all the money contributed: $800K by the US government's ultimate count in a settlement and $2 million according to the key contributor and convicted con Peter Paul. This is, in election law, the moral equivalent of not reporting a similar amount on your income tax. It is a form of fraud. Hillary Clinton's defense is that she didn't know about it
HILLARY CLINTON'S participation in a Whitewater related land deal became suspicious enough to trigger an investigation by the Arkansas Supreme Court.
IN 2007, A Pakistani immigrant who hosted fundraisers for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton became a target of the FBI allegations that he funneled illegal contributions to Clinton's political action committee and to Sen. Barbara Boxer's 2004 re-election campaign. Authorities say Northridge, Calif., businessman Abdul Rehman Jinnah, 56, fled the country shortly after being indicted on charges of engineering more than $50,000 in illegal donations to the Democratic committees.
HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTED the appointment of Rudy Giuliani's buddy, Bernie Kerick, to be Secretary of Homeland Security,. Kerick subsecquently withdrew and not long after was indicted.
AP - Democrat John Edwards said the top strategist for presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton [Mark Penn] has ties to the controversial Blackwater security firm, and warned against installing "a group of corporate Democrats" to replace the Bush White House. Edwards suggested similarities between Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, and the Republican president. Penn, Clinton's pollster and senior strategist, is the worldwide president of Burson-Marsteller, a public relations firm. A subsidiary, BKSH, helped prepare Blackwater founder Erik Prince for a contentious congressional hearing this week, but Burson-Marsteller says the relationship has ended. Clinton's spokesman, Howard Wolfson, said Penn had done no work on the Blackwater account.
KATHRYN JOYCE AND JEFF SHARLET, MOTHER JONES - Through all of her years in Washington, Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as the Fellowship. Her collaborations with right-wingers such as Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) and former Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) grow in part from that connection. . . Clinton's prayer group was part of the Fellowship (or "the Family"), a network of sex-segregated cells of political, business, and military leaders dedicated to "spiritual war" on behalf of Christ. . . [the leader's] friends include former Attorney General John Ashcroft, Reaganite Edwin Meese III, and ultraconservative Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Pa.). The Fellowship's God-led men have also included General Suharto of Indonesia; Honduran general and death squad organizer Gustavo Alvarez Martinez; a Deutsche Bank official disgraced by financial ties to Hitler; and dictator Siad Barre of Somalia, plus a list of other generals and dictators. Clinton, says Schenck, has become a regular visitor to Coe's Arlington, Virginia, headquarters, a former convent where Coe provides members of Congress with sex-segregated housing and spiritual guidance.
JOSHUA GREEN, THE ATLANTIC, 2006 - Clinton's proficiency in this innermost sanctum has unnerved some of the capital's most exalted religious conservatives. "You're not talking about some tree-hugging, Jesus-is-my-Buddha sort of stuff," says David Kuo, a former Bush official in the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, who worked with Clinton to promote joint legislation and who, like Brownback, has apologized to her for past misdeeds. "These are powerful evangelicals she's meeting with."
MICKEY KAUS - On page 93 of the new Gerth-Van Natta Hillary Clinton book, a sentence describes how, during the '92 campaign, Hillary herself "listened to a secretly recorded audiotape of a phone conversation of Clinton critics plotting their next attack. The tape contained discussions of another woman who might surface with allegations about an affair with Bill. Bill's supporters monitored frequencies used by cell phones, and the tape was made during one of those monitoring sessions."
SUN SENTINEL, FL - U.S. Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, of Weston, and Alcee Hastings, of Miramar, were appointed national campaign co-chairs on Thursday for U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's Democratic presidential effort. "We need a leader with a clear vision and sound judgment, who can work with a Democratic Congress to renew the promise of America. Hillary is that leader," Wasserman Schultz said in a statement. . . WIKIPEDIA - In 1981 Judge Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering by Frank and Thomas Romano, and of perjury in his testimony about the case. He was acquitted by a jury after his alleged co-conspirator, William Borders, refused to testify in court (resulting in a jail sentence for Borders).
CNS - A videotape shows New York Sen. Hillary Clinton. . . should be admitted as new evidence in a California civil case, a forthcoming legal brief to be filed by argues. The tape shows Clinton speaking in 2000 with Peter Paul, a Hollywood mogul, and comic book icon Stan Lee about a massive fundraising event for her 2000 Senate race. Paul spent about $2 million of his own money to produce the event. The legal contribution limit to a candidate then was $2,000. . . A portion of the videotape captures the closing words of a lengthy conversation in which Paul was present. The voice of Hillary Clinton is heard telling Lee that Paul and her chief campaign aide "talk all the time, so she'll be the person to convey whatever I need." She is then heard adding, "I wanted to call and personally thank all of you ... [and] tell you how much this means to me. It's going to mean a lot to the president, too." Clinton and her supporters have maintained that she had no direct knowledge that the event violated campaign finance rules. In a written declaration for the California court filed on April 7, 2006, the senator said only that she didn't remember discussions with Paul about the fundraiser.
DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN, NEWSMAX - Since he left office in 2001, former president Bill Clinton has been paid by $3.3 million by Info USA, an Omaha, Nebraska company that has been identified as a key provider of specially designed databases that have been sold to criminals who use the detailed information to defraud the unsuspecting elderly. . . According to the New York Times, Info USA compiled and sold lists that disclosed the names of elderly men and women who would be likely to respond to unscrupulous scams. The lists left no doubt about the vulnerability of the elderly targets. The Times reported, for example, that Info USA advertised lists of "Elderly Opportunity Seekers," 3.3 million older people "looking for ways to make money," and "Suffering Seniors," 4.7 million people with cancer or Alzheimer's disease. "Oldies but Goodies" contained 500,000 gamblers over 55 years old, for 8.5 cents
MIKE McINTIRE, NY TIMES - When former President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton took a family vacation in January 2002 to Acapulco, Mexico, one of their longtime supporters, Vinod Gupta, provided his company's private jet to fly them there. The company, Info USA, one of the nation's largest brokers of information on consumers, paid $146,866 to ferry the Clintons, Mr. Gupta and others to Acapulco and back, court records show. During the next four years, Info USA paid Mr. Clinton more than $2 million for consulting services, and spent almost $900,000 to fly him around the world for his presidential foundation work and to fly Mrs. Clinton to campaign events. Those expenses are cited in a lawsuit filed late last year in a Delaware court by angry shareholders of Info USA, who assert that Mr. Gupta wasted the company's money trying "to ingratiate himself" with his high-profile guests"t
SAM SMITH, 'SHADOWS OF HOPE,' 1994 - During the first months of the Clinton administration, one of the biggest national policy changes of the past fifty years was being forged by a secret committee led by Mrs. Clinton under procedures that periodically defied the courts and the Government Accounting Office . . , Despite the contrary evidence of public opinion polls, the concept of Canadian-style single-payer insurance was dismissed early. Tom Hamburger and Ted Marmor in the Washington Monthly tell of a single-payer proponent being invited to the White House in February 1993. It was, he said, a "pseudo-consultation;" the doctor was quickly informed that "single payer is not politically feasible." When Dr. David Himmelstein of the Harvard Medical School pressed Mrs. Clinton on single payer, she replied, "Tell me something interesting, David." In other words, write Hamburger and Marmor: "Fewer than six weeks into the Clinton presidency, the White House had made its key policy decision: Before the Health Care Task Force wrote a single page of its 22-volume report to the President, the single payer idea was written off, and "managed competition" was in.". . . Reported Thomas Bodenehimer in Nation: "Around Hillary Rodham Clinton's health reform table sit the managed-competition winners: big business, hospitals, large (but not small) commercial insurers, the Blues, budget-worried government leaders and the 'Jackson Hole Group,' the chief intellectual honchos of the managed competition movement. . . Adherence to the mantra of managed competition appears to be the price of a ticket of admission to this gathering. "
LA TIMES - A Pakistani immigrant who hosted fundraisers for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is being sought by the FBI on allegations that he funneled illegal contributions to Clinton's political action committee and to Sen. Barbara Boxer's 2004 re-election campaign. Authorities say Northridge, Calif., businessman Abdul Rehman Jinnah, 56, fled the country shortly after being indicted on charges of engineering more than $50,000 in illegal donations to the Democratic committees. A business associate charged as Jinnah's co-conspirator has entered a guilty plea and is scheduled to be sentenced in Los Angeles next week. A federal law enforcement source said prosecutors had not dealt with the political committees in conducting their investigation and had no evidence that the committees knew the contributions were illegal.
DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN, JEWISH WORLD REVIEW - With each new disclosure, Bill and Hillary Clinton's connection between the emir of Dubai, Sheik Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, seems ever more intimate. Last February, Sen. Clinton was out front in condemning DP World, a Dubai government-owned company seeking to take over key operations at American ports. But, at the same time, Bill was advising the emir to hire his former press secretary, Joe Lockhart, to get the deal approved. Back then, Lockhart denied working for the emir. And when Bill's role became public, Hillary claimed that she had no idea that he had any involvement in the DP World issue. Now, it turns out that the emir's Dubai International Capital Corp. hired Lockhart's company, Glover Park Group, by last April to help with another U.S. deal - a takeover of two defense firms. The relationship between the Clintons and the emir has long been too close to avoid scrutiny. Something is driving up Bill and Hillary's net worth pretty dramatically. In 2003, Sen. Clinton disclosed assets of at least $352,000 but less than $3.8 million. By 2005, she was declaring assets in the $10 million to $50 million range. . .
WALL STREET JOURNAL - The core of [HRC'S] team includes several staunch loyalists from her husband's time in power, including former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former United Nations ambassador Richard Holbrooke, and Samuel "Sandy" Berger, who succeeded Mr. Lake as national security adviser during Mr. Clinton's second term. . . WIKIPEDIA - In April 2005, Berger plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material from the National Archives in Washington. According to the lead prosecutor in the case Berger only took copies of classified information and that no original material was destroyed, however there is notable controversy and speculation that he might have removed or destroyed originals of other unknown documents as well.
