Hillary's Bosnia Snafu

Perhaps Hillary actually thought she was in danger in her brief visit to Bosnia in 1996 or maybe she was told to run to the ground vehicles for safety. Whether she did hurry or not (btw she didn't according to the CBS video), this trip does NOT translate to a worthwhile addition to her experience book toward being President. It does add to her resume for starring in a remake of the Walter Mitty classic.

Her false and exaggerated impression of this trip applies in a similar manner to many other aspects of her political "experience".

Senator Clinton attempted to downplay her false recollections of the Bosnia Trip by saying, "I say a lot of things - millions of words a day - so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement." So her comments to gloss over her previous stretch were in fact themselves a stretch. If she spoke continually for 18 hours in a day and said 15 words per second - that would almost be one million words.

Wonder if she speaks and thinks and remembers as clearly at 3 am?

I had to laugh when her words were played picture-in-picture with the video from CBS.

What an idiot.

Here's an example of how words are important

Why is it that when she lies, it only gets minimal press, but Obama's minister was running on a permanent loop on the news for days!
This Bosnia lie is not new...

Well, neither one of them is a winner in my estimation. I wouldn't want Obama or Clinton to be president. There's a super delegate from Florida talking about getting Al Gore to be on the top of the ticket with either Obama or Clinton running with him. Talk about disenfranchising your voters! The dems are going to implode and I think it's just great! I don't need government telling me what kind of health care I have to get and taking more money away from me to give to those who don't have it or want it. I'm a big kid now and can take care of myself, thank you very much! What I do want from government is to protect those I love from terrorists and outside aggressors who would take my freedom from me. I'm in league with McCain on that one.
