Hillary Learned From The Master!
The New York Post had a great story on Hillary Clinton’s latest campaign snafu. After “mispeaking” about her trip to Bosnia, she “misheard” a question about what she told former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson about Barack Obama’s chances of being elected President.
According to the Post:
Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday seemed to deny that she told New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson that Barack Obama could not win the presidency.
But her campaign later said she misheard a reporter’s question.

Asked at a press conference whether she made the comment to Richardson, Clinton said, “That’s a no.”
She added, “We have been going back and forth in this campaign of who said what to whom and let me say this, that I don’t talk about private conversations but I have consistently made the case that I can win.”
Campaign spokeswoman Mo Elleithee later said Clinton thought she was being asked whether she’d disclose what she actually said to Richardson, who has endorsed Obama.
“Senator Clinton was simply reiterating what she had just said - she doesn’t talk about private conversations,” Elleithee said.
Impressive — that’s almost as good as arguing over the definition of “is”!

If we hadn’t heard it from Bill for 8 years she may have gotten away with it. Her problem is that not only did we hear it from Bill, but we got 8 years of her as well. During the last 8 years we saw nothing from her here in NY. She promised so much as a senator and delivered so little. All she was doing was keeping a low profile on legislation she would not have to be held accountable for and a high profile of long range media shots where no questions could ever be asked.
Now do we understand what the Pastor Wright meant when he said “The chickens have come home to roost”?
