A red flag went up to day upon reading this story, President praises Clinton's political experience, the Newsday article written by Glenn Thrush states, "President George W. Bush is endorsing Hillary Clinton's claim that she's the most experienced candidate in the 2008 field - a plaudit that might cost her with rank-and-file Democrats." It goes onto report, "There is no question that Sen. Clinton understands pressure better than any of the candidates, you know, in the race," the president told ABC News yesterday." While this news article states that Bush has said that any Republican candidate can beat her, still it begs the question: Is he somehow endorsing her candidacy? A while ago, I wrote an article concerning their cozy relationship stating, “In reading this telling article published on October 7th, by The Times Online, “George Bush smooths path for Hillary” this passage jumped out at me, “In the clearest sign of a shift in gear, Gates is to appoint John Hamre, a former official in President Bill Clinton’s administration, to chair the Defense Policy Board once led by Richard Perle, a leading neoconservative advocate of the invasion of Iraq. The board’s job will be to prepare for the transition to a new administration in 2008, according to a Pentagon spokesman.” Is that a Clinton administration? This coziness between President Bush and Senator Clinton should be a red-flag to everyone. Dobbs read a quote from Cafferty’s book which reads, “I have never been scared before, but I am scared now. Scared that we're losing our way, not because somebody is taking it away, because -- but because we're giving it away." To this I add, isn’t about time that Americans especially those backing candidates like Clinton and other front-runners in both parties take back control of our government and choose other candidates that make sense?But, if those two news article that I based a previous editorial on and this one does not raise any red-flags, then the picture below will certainly have you scatching your chin wondering what is going on. (Within this space, I have scanned a picture depicting President Bush standing along side Senator Clinton on my blog and you tell me if there is a cozy relationship between both.) Again, I will let you decide whether or not there is a cozy relationship between both and perhaps the next time she attacks President Bush, one must wonder why. Or is this simply a case where, politics makes strange bedfellows? Author's email address, xmjmac@optonline.net

Bait and switch

Mary,

Could be a bait and switch. Some 50% of the country say they would not vote for Hillary if she ran against Bin Laden. Not so with some of the second tier candidates. Why not support the one that deep down, you believe you can beat?

Makes sense...

...Hillary is no doubt the most eager to take full advantage of the expanded presidential powers garnerned by Bush, and most likely to use the military as a foreign policy tool.

It's called betting both sides

If HC is the dem candidate, and I have every reason to believe she will be, and wins, the Bilderberg Group has a person they can count on. If she loses, whomever, save for Paul, is the repug candidate they still have their man. Either way the deck is stacked.

It's nice to believe we have some choice. It's nice to believe in Santa Claus, God and other things, like the Bill of Rights, Constitution and justice too. But like Santa, the rest, especially the last three are illusions now.

If we were to be the true democratic/republic the Founding Fathers wished we wouldn't be in the mess we are today. But that America was washed down the drain into the cesspool of those that were ruthless and clever enough to obtain wealth and power and those that were born into it who have controlled most of the distribution of said wealth for somewhere near the past 1,500 years. It is only now in these later days that they have been able to totally weave their web of control over most every aspect of our lives.

Of course the bushs and the clintons are in bed together. One would have to be brain dead to think that in a supposed democracy that out of 330,000,00 people we happen to have to families running things for the past 26 years (assuming clinton gets 2 terms - and if jeb runs and wins and we get 8 yrs there ... well, you catch my drift) that that isn' a conspiracy.

That's why bush, or more importantly the people behind bush, don't mind endorsing clinton. It's the new boss - same as the old boss.

To be honest I don't think we'll ever see justice or have the true dream of democracy until we pass laws that limit the amount of wealth and power that can be consentrated into the hands of the few indiviuals or corporations we have now. For to think that those that can obtain such wealth and power are not going to be corrupted by such, is indeed believing in Santa Claus.

I'm 61 years old, fear the computer even though I am stuck before the screen. I fear cyber-hacking by the government or vigilantes. Few activists know where each other live or even meet. So mail, email, phone calls and cyberbills secretively not paid, would leave most in cyber dark, even physical dark, if the electric bill were marked unpaid.

Is Hillary and Bush Similar

I did and internet search clinking on Hillary, Rudy Giulliani etc, with Hugo Chavez, Ahmedinajad, then Saudi Arabia, and found a lot in common between Rudy and Hillary. Does Bush hope Hillary will be President or does he hope she will be the Democratic nominee to make it easier for the Republicans? I don't know but from my past googing experience think googing the right names and terms together will lead to the answer.
