Chelsea Clinton in Kentucky Tuesday; Bill back Thursday
Chelsea Clinton will stop at the University Kentucky Tuesday afternoon to stump for her mother, presidential candidate and New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The former first daughter will talk with UK students at the student center at 1 p.m., said Jerry Lundergan, the former state Democratic Party Chairman who is helping coordinate Clinton's campaign in Kentucky.
She is then expected to make appearances in Louisville, first at the Jefferson Community and Technical College and later with a group of young professionals, Lundergan said.
Meanwhile, former President Bill Clinton will return to Kentucky Thursday for a rally at the Eastern Kentucky Expo Center in Pikeville and a fund-raiser, Lundergan said. Bill Clinton was in Kentucky last Tuesday as a prelude to Hillary Clinton's stops in the state this past Saturday.
No word yet on when Clinton's opponent in the Democratic primary, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, will make his first stop in Kentucky this spring in preparation for the Bluegrass state's May 20 primary.
UPDATE 2:30 p.m.: More details on Chelsea Clinton's stop in Lexington.
- When: 1 p.m. Tuesday
- Where: The Cat's Den, 1st floor of the student center
- What: The event is an open forum for students to ask questions about "her life on the presidential campaign and important issues facing America today."
- Who: The event is for students. It is first come, first served.
- Ryan Alessi
Someone needs to ask Chelsea
1. what her mother thinks about a President lying under oath?
2. what her mother thinks about a first lady lying under oath?
3. why did her mother ran sack Vince Foster's office and ILLEGALLY - took out boxes of documents before the FBI got there -- after Foster's mysterious death?
- Don't forget, President Clinton lied under oath and got impeached.
- First lady Hillary Clinton lied under oath during her travel-gate & white water testimony.
- Vince Foster's death fueled speculation that the Clinton’s feared that Foster held a sword of Damocles over them and was likely to wield it.
- Stranger it was discovered that the documents concerned the Whitewater Development Corporation. Furthermore, it was reported that a Secret Service agent named Henry O' Neill watched as Hillary's Chief of Staff, Margaret Williams, carry boxes from Foster’s office before it could be designated as a scene of a possible criminal investigation. It was alleged that other items were removed even after the room was officially sealed.
- Who in the world could trust a president whose husband lied under oath while he was President?????

Hillary Clinton is a liar. A bold faced liar. She has lost total credibility!
Hillary Clinton & Bill Clinton lie so much and so often they do not know the difference between the truth and a lie.
President Clinton was impeached because he lied under oath.
Most recently Hillary Clinton has LIED about: NAFTA, SCHIP, Bosnia, North Ireland, Macedonia.
Hillary & Bill are BOTH lying when they claim Barack Obama wants to disenfranchise the voters of Fl. & Mi. --
I could NEVER vote for a presidential candidate that LIES as much as Hillary Clinton does.

And how does any of what you say about the Clintons come close to what the renegade Bush administration has done to our country in the past seven years? Do you really want to start a conversation about lying? Bush and his cronies have raped this nation, and they have done so with the blessings of the religious right. Go quote your republican talking points to others who are gullible enough to listen to this garbage. The country has had enough of the fearmongering and the malicious lies perpetrated by this band of thieves.

Please help my son and I put out the word about Kentucky House Bill 685? Please call the Kentucky Legislative support line? 1-800-372-7181
The Kentucky House just passed a bill on March 24th that would allow me to successfully re-petition for custody and visitation regarding my son. This bill would end a 18 month alienation imposed by my son's mother, Julia Ricketts of Louisville (attorney Charlie Ricketts daughter-in-law)! But I need your help.
If the Kentucky Senate does not push House Bill 685 thru before April 1st it will be dead. Please call and ask your friends to call 1-800-372-7181 in support of HB 685? For I don't think it's too late.
Please ask the message to be given to the Entire Kentucky Senate, Senate Committee on Committess, and Senate Judiciary Committee to push and pass HOUSE BILL 685 before the end of this legislative session. Let them know children need their fathers just as much as their mothers.
They will ask your name and address, but it does not matter if you don't live in Kentucky. Please, please, please help me, for I love my son and want to see him. It only takes a minute, a minute that will change my son's life.
They take calls until 11pm eastern.
Gratefully,
James

American Woman,
Don't get me wrong ... the lies of BOTH CLINTON AND BUSH are NOT PRESIDENTAL.
I would never vote for Bush because he a liar.
I would never vote for Clinton because of all the lies she told during the Clinton years and during this election cycle.
Clinton is liar and Bush is a liar.

Hey American Woman,
I suppose you want to go from one lying administration (Bush) to another lying administration (Clinton).
What is YOUR PROBLEM!!!
How dare you call yourself American yet condone President Bill Clinton lying under oath!!!!
How dare you pretend to care about this country and the honesty of the office of President and condone first lady Hillary Clinton lying under oath!!!!!
A Clinton administration would be JUST AS BAD as Bush's administration.
President Clinton was impeached for lying under oath.
President Clinton pardoned many, many drug dealers that were friends of his brother his last day in office. Some of those drug lords had orchastrated deaths.
I urge you to google President Clinton's ties to Dan Lassater and the Kentucky Trooper who was killed after he was pushed out of an airplane full of drugs coming to Kentucky.
No to Bush,
NO TO CLINTON!!!!!

Alas, some of President Clinton's actions in office were not moral or appropriate, however he was not the first Commander-in-Chief to abuse the office with sexual deviance, and he may not be the last. There is a long and tarnished history of presidents having affairs and President Clinton happened to be the first caught in the act.
That being said, his actions were inappropriate and it does blemish his legacy, and the Office of the President. But does that disregard all the positive results of his presidency? I think not.
The Vince Foster and Ron Brown accusations have been probed time after time, and each independent panel has reaffirmed the innocence of the Clintons.
The real issue in this election is who is the candidate most able to bring about the change this country so desperately wants and thirsts for. It takes someone who understands the ins and outs of Washington to work with Congress and the bureaucracy to bring about change. Only Senator Clinton offers the experience and knowledge of both the Executive branch and the Congress. Change is not something that occurs when a ballot is cast. It requires hard work and a thorough understanding of the virtues and flaws of the system.
Furthermore, what legislative experience does Senator Obama offer? In his actual 1 1/2 years in the Senate (before commencing his presidential campaign- and that is a gracious assessment) his one "notable" accomplishment is the ethics reform package, which allows lobbyists to persuade members of Congress through paid meals while standing, but abolishes seated meals. Is that really change?
To all the Obamaniacs I ask you to take his charm and appeal with a grain of salt. He is just another politician, but so is Senator Clinton. And I accept that because I know her end result will actually bring positive change to Americans.
The disenfranchisement of Michigan and Florida is a prime example. Senator Obama knows that it is strategically better for his candidacy if MI and FL remain unseated and their votes thrown out. His delegate margin would decrease significantly. The counsel for the Obama campaign has succeeded in staunching the re-vote efforts. The only problem with this is that voters, especially in Florida with a pattern of disenfranchisement, will feel neglected and turned away and will either not vote on November 4 or will be persuaded to vote for Senator McCain. That is a real problem for the democratic nominee (if it is Sen. Obama) because Sen. McCain has such crossover appeal.

I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois - LIAR, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part. Obama lies.

I don't care that President Clinton had sexual encounters with Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office for years ...
I DO care that President Clinton LIED UNDER OATH.
I also care that Hillary LIED UNDER OATH while she was first lady.
I expect MORE from MY PRESIDENT ...
You must not respect the office of President very much ...
Alas, I refuse to replace the Corrupt-Bush administration with the Corrupt-Clinton administration.

How do you know when you are talking to a Hillary Clinton supporter? Because they lie just like the Queen of Lies, Hillary.
Sen. Obama did NOT prohibit Michigan or Florida from revoting. BOTH states decided NOT to hold a re-vote all by themselves.
Sen. Clinton did NOT care in August 2007 that Florida & Michigan were being disenfranchised. In fact, she didn't give one d@mn that both state's voter's voices would not be heard.
In typical Clinton form, she just now started caring about their votes because she is down 700,000 in popular vote, she is down 125 in delegates ... basically she is WAY behind.
Sen. Clinton signed a pledge NOT to campaign in either state. Sen. Obama did NOT force her to sign the pledge.
Sen. Obama is ahead. Hillary is behind and now she has her supporters spreading lies that it's Obama's fault. Sorry that dog aint gonna hunt.

I broke from the Clinton campaign as early as last summer based upon her record and signals towards neoconservatism. But the reason why I won’t even hold my nose to vote for her should she win the nomination is right here. Hillary's very old style of politics is beyond rough and tumble, but out right dirty, cheap, and not befitting the Democratic party.
Hillary signed a pledge on September 1, 2007, as was designed by Howard Dean of the DNC.
Hillary Clinton's campaign manager said 6 months ago that Hillary was going to stand by the DNC decision to not seat the Florida or Michigan delegates unless they moved their election date back to their original dates.
- At the time Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm of Michigan told the New York Times that her state’s manufacturing crisis and other issues were more important than the order of the primary calendar.
- Clinton’s campaign manager backed the DNC, said, “We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process, and we believe the DNC’s rules and its calendar provide the necessary structure to respect and honor that role.”
- Now Hillary is lying that it is Obama's fault.
- Now Hillary has her supporters lying when they say it was Obama's fault.
- Now, Hillary is using Michigan & Florida as a power play for additional delegates. Hillary had agreed to deny BOTH Michigan and Florida a Primary. Now, Hillary is using Michigan & Florida as a power play for additional delegates and blaming Obama
- Now Clinton’s campaign, which in Michigan won because she was the the only name on the ballot and in Florida won because no one contested their lead, is demanding they be seated. The intervention did not come in time to give Florida and Michigan a full role in the democratic process, only in time to let the Clinton campaign to lie about Obama in their effort to lie and win via corruption.
Like I said, I was a supporter of Hillary but now I won’t even hold my nose to vote for her should she win the nomination is right here. Hillary's style of politics is beyond rough and tumble, but out right dirty, cheap, and not befitting the Democratic party.
Hillary Clinton would lie, cheat, steal and God knows what else to win an election ... she has turned off so many people that her fundraising money can NOT even pay her bills. In fact, she is months has failed to pay HEALTH CARE INSURANCE on her staff.

In response to the ongoing, and good-spirited, debate about the Florida and Michigan delegations:
Senator Clinton did care about Michigan and Florida being disenfranchised. Each presidential candidate had the choice to withdraw his name from the ballot in Michigan and all chose to do so except Sen. Clinton. No one forced the candidates to pull off the ballot, but Sen. Obama, among others, made that choice.
Michigan offers a better chance of re-voting because it is Democratically controlled, whereas Florida is controlled by Republicans and for political reasons they want to make it harder for Democrats to resolve the issue.
Michigan has not proceeded with a re-vote because the Obama campaign will not acquiesce to any proposal for its own strategical reasons.
"That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of the people…that our votes will be counted." (Obama DNC speech, 7/27/04)
Where is Senator Obama's genius when Florida and Michigan Democrats need it most? Time and time again, actions speak louder than words.
