Is anybody really that surprised that Hillary Clinton is running for president? I'm not surprised. I mean, if you were married to Bill Clinton ... wouldn't you want to be able to tap his phone, read his mail, and torture him?

Answer 1

I'm so excited for her...Power to the women of the world...Go Hillary!

Answer 2

You would have had to be living under a rock if you are surprised that Hillary Clinton is running for president. Now comes the debate. Obama. Does a woman have a better chance of being elected president than a black man? Who would she choose as her running mate? Could Bill be nominated? I wonder if they have a rule about that?

Answer 3

Sen. Clinton is not a woman other than by biology. She likes to clean closets but couldn't find the Billing Records up stairs. Martha Stewart went to jail but the "H" Bomb gets off scott free. She puts up with a **** of a husband to climb the political ladder. She couldn't solve health care in 8 years in the white house.She thinks we are all village idiots and will fall in line to pay health insurance for children born out of wedlock, That's what DNA testing is for, let their fathers pay.Universal Health care doesn't work in the UK or Canada why would we succeed. The rich don't have to use it they will go else where.
People who oppose her show up dead in the Washington Park. She is not a Leader she's a fear monger.
A salt and pepper white house would never work the blacks would look to kill her and the whites would look to kill him. That would move Palosi up a noch,miss frequent flier at 3 million a pop.
Where is Eleanor Roosevelt when you need her.
We don't need another do nothing but pay at president Clinton in the white house.
She will fizzle like cheep Champagne in this race. She wont' be able fake it for two years. Wait till she sees what the white house does to your face under that stress. She will look like President Carter.

Answer 4

Not surprised at all. Hillary Clinton has been preparing to run for President for approximately 15 years now.

Answer 5

I am not surprised at all. After all, she was the one that ran the WH when Bill was in office. He was hookin up with Monica while Hillary was forging his signature, and doing everything else. She loved that power, that's why she got into politics immediately after wards.
She wants more that she has now, so that's why she is going for the prez.
Personally, I want Condy in office.

Answer 6

What Conservative Pundits don't realize is that Hillary and Obama are sacrificial lambs. Conservatives will spend all their time and energy attacking those two, which will make the REAL Democratic candidate look like a golden boy.

Answer 7

I am not surprised.
And I will add this:
I think it is time for a woman president. OR at least a younger man.
The world now days have women in high places. Men from the old school do not really respect a women's words or works to the fullest. The believe a woman should be seen and not heard, a woman's place is in the home...and so on.
OK I may not be wording this correct...I am not beating down on men...I just think it is time for a woman to have the respect for the work they are doing, not disregard it just because she is a woman.
If a woman says a line, and a man says the same line would we view the meaning differently?
If we do not know who said something,,,does it have the same meaning?
If just the words as spoken, not knowing who said it ..male or female...does it carry the same weight?
REgardless who runs I think it is time for a woman pres.
Not because I am a woman, but because it it time.

Answer 8

No surpise here. Because of the caustic rhetoric and scathing election year press investigations affecting, not just each candidate but their families as well, most truly good prospects refuse to be involved any longer. It is a sad indictment upon our nation to be reduced to accepting " 2nd or 3rd stringers" for such demanding and critical governmental duties. We are now just voting for bad vs. evil when we go to the polls. If we are honest, each one of us share in the blame for allowing it to get to this.

Answer 9

She's been waiting for this her entire life. She wants nothing more than power. The woman is truly evil.

Did you know one of her professors at Yale identified her as a socialist? Was that before or after she burned the flag?

Answer 10

yes, after finding out that she had NO BALLS with the issues that concerned her private relationship matters during the clinton years... I am surprised.

Answer 11

No I am not. Nothing seems to deter her. I don't believe for a minute Wild Bill is the love of her life, power is the love of her life.
