UNANSWERED QUESTIONS FOR HILLARY CLINTON “Thanks in no small part to Judicial Watch, Hillary Clinton may be the most investigated person in the history of the Republic.” -Margaret Carlson of TIME Magazine
Now that Hillary Clinton is an official candidate for President of the United States, the American people will take a long, hard look at her record. And any discussion of Hillary Clinton’s record begins and ends with her crimes and ethical transgressions. Judicial Watch, of course, has been pursuing both Hillary and Bill Clinton since its inception, launching numerous investigations and lawsuits. However, despite clear evidence of Clinton corruption, so many questions remain unanswered. If Judicial Watch were given an opportunity to interview Hillary Clinton, here are the ten (plus) questions we would ask first: Who in the Clinton administration devised the plan to sell taxpayer-financed trade missions in exchange for campaign contributions to the Clinton-Gore 1996 re-election campaign? Sworn testimony from Nolanda Hill, partner and confidante of the late Clinton Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, points to you as mastermind of the scheme. Why did you give “factually false” testimony under oath in the investigation of the White House Travel Office firings, as former Independent Counsel Robert Ray stated in his final report. Ray said his office found “overwhelming evidence” you played a role in the dismissals of the seven longtime employees in the White House travel office, which you denied under oath. Who hired former bar bouncer Craig Livingstone and ordered him to illegally obtain for the Clinton administration the FBI files of former staffers in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush? Sworn testimony and at least one FBI docment shows you hired Livingstone. Why did you fail to report more than $2 million in contributions to your Senate 2000 campaign? Testimony from the criminal investigation and trial of your National Finance Director, David Rosen, shows you knew the total costs of the fundraiser, yet failed to accurately report them. Your brothers Anthony and Hugh Rodham allegedly brokered cash deals to obtain presidential pardons from your husband on behalf of convicted criminals. Were you aware they were each paid large sums to obtain these pardons? Did you play any role in any of the 140 presidential pardons provided by Bill Clinton in the waning days of his administration, bypassing the normal pardon review process? How about the pardons of the Puerto Rican terrorists in the run-up to your first Senate campaign? Did you have any input on those? Did you or your lawyers hire private detectives to investigate and intimidate critics of the Clinton administration? What did you instruct James Carville and George Stephanopoulos to say in order to discredit and defame Gennifer Flowers, a woman with whom your husband had an affair? Evidence suggests they smeared her at your behest. Did you play any role in smearing and defaming other women sexually and otherwise abused by your husband, including, but not limited to: Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Dolly Kyle Browning, and Juanita Broaddrick ? Records from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange reveal that you turned a $1,000 investment in cattle futures in 1978 into to more than $100,000 in ten months… a return of 10,000%. How did you earn such an astronomical, and unbelievable, return on this investment? How much money does Bill Clinton earn from his relationship with Ron Burkle, a contributor to your Senate campaigns, and Burkle’s company, Yucaipa? Are these funds currently available in bank accounts to which you have access? Will you use these funds for your campaign? How about Bill’s speaking fees, some paid for by foreign interests and governments – what are the financial benefits to you? How do you explain the mysterious disappearance of your Whitewater billing records from the office of Vince Foster, the former Rose Law Firm partner and Clinton White House counsel who allegedly committed suicide in 1993? How do you explain the mysterious reappearance of those same records in the White House with your fingerprints on them? Stopping at ten questions is hard to do. We could ask about her illegal White House fundraising coffees, doing business with the State of Arkansas while her husband was governor, Web Hubbell, John Huang, Chinese generals, the Lippo Group, and paid sleepovers in the Lincoln Bedroom. These questions are important and relevant as the American people weigh Hillary’s candidacy. We deserve some honest answers.

Joe...don't be so naive. Hillary overtook the lead nationally yesterday! And recently she has remained ahead on this poll. Now I don't know who I am voting for yet. But it will not be that shady individual who shows up from nowhere.He has to many negative associates who are white haters. And I for one will not have a President who thinks like them, because he may act like them once in office! Don't be a fool vote with your smarts!

If the voters on here have been reading the comments about Obama and his supporters, any sane person can come to the summary that Obama is a fraud/ liar/ racist/ radical friendships/no experience/no PL experience
If you can comprehend what I just posted and you still support Barack Hussein Obama, you have been drinking his kool-aid too long. When Is Barack Obama going to step down and out of the race?
Support Hillary Rodham Clinton
PS; A double standard, Delegates and Super Delegates should support the popular vote of their state. Why are super delegates supporting Barack Obama like Kerry, Kennedy, Hillary Clinton won those states.

Bill’s Lincoln Bedroom Guests Keep Giving To Hillary Indicating what lies ahead if another Clinton occupies the White House, many of Hillary’s big donors participated in the 1990s fundraising scandal in which her husband sold Lincoln Bedroom sleepovers and other White House perks for millions of dollars. The unprecedented White House-for-cash stays were part of Bill Clinton’s brilliant strategy to raise $100 million for his reelection. The deep-pocketed guests included representatives of large corporations, foreign-government lobbyists, wealthy prominent attorneys investigated for wrongdoing and a socialite who orchestrated Bill’s last-minute pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich. In all, nearly 1,000 White House “guests” gave more than $10 million to Bill Clinton and many of them have, not only donated heavily to Hillary’s presidential campaign, they have also been crowned “Hillraisers” for bundling at least $100,000 each from friends and relatives. Some have promised to raise $1 million or more for the New York senator’s financially struggling campaign. These donors’ ties to the fundraising scandal are not relevant to Hillary, who insisted back in 1996 that the “Lincoln Bedroom was never sold” and refers to them simply as loyal “friends and supporters.” A Justice Department investigation revealed otherwise, however. The agency’s campaign finance task force issued a scathing 94-page report saying that Bill Clinton’s desperate need to raise enormous sums of money led to a situation where abuse was rampant and indeed the norm. A separate congressional inquiry revealed that the big Clinton donors were not only given overnight accommodations in the White House, they were also ushered into the Oval office for coffees, lunches and other meetings with the president and First Lady and taken for rides on Air Force One. Read the late great Barbara Olson's The Final Days of the Clinton Whitehouse and find out about the lack of character these two charlatans have! They raped the dignity of the office! Go to Judicial Watch and read more about Hillary's corruption and unethical practices. Do you really want to return to the Dark Ages of the Clinton Whitehouse? For God’s sake Vote Obama!

There is no way to deny, Clinton supporters have FALSELY ambush this "Straw Poll."
What crack's me up, are the distorted numbers reflected. If the numbers were flip flopped with Obama in the lead at such a ridiculous position, I'd have the same thing to say.
Hillary and her supporters will LIE and DISTORT anything they can to MAKE IT APPEAR that she is so POPULAR. She's NOT.
UNBELIEVABLE.

Barack Hussein Obama, when are you stepping out of the race.
You have too many non-scrupulous, Unamerican friends and associates. Why would anyone thinking about running for the highest office in the land, be so careless and irresponsible? Why would a person like you attend a radical church for twenty years, with your family and think there isn't anything wrong with that picture. What is your motive?
Now do you comprehend why so many people are suspicious of you, you are going negative and trying to reverse rolls with Hillary Clinton.
I believe you are history.

Clinton leadership a study in missteps Hillary Rodham Clinton wants voters to decide the nomination based on who can coolly and competently run the country. She had better hope they don’t study her recent campaign too closely for the answer.
Clinton has overseen two major staff shake-ups in two months. She has left a trail of unpaid bills and unhappy vendors and had to loan her own campaign $5 million to keep it afloat in January. Her campaign badly underestimated her main adversary, Barack Obama, miscalculated the importance of organizing caucus states and was caught flat-footed after failing to lock up the nomination on Super Tuesday.
It would be easy to dismiss all of this as fairly conventional political stumbling — if she hadn’t made her supreme readiness and managerial competence the central issue of her presidential campaign.
But since she has, a growing number of Democrats are comparing the Clinton and Obama campaigns — their first real exercise in executive leadership — and rendering harsh assessments of her stewardship.
In twin columns in Tuesday’s Washington Post, left-of-center columnists Peter Beinart and E.J. Dionne Jr. condemned Clinton’s overall management of the campaign and inability to build a durable message and infrastructure. It’s a common theme in Democratic circles these days. “Any time you are involved in a long campaign, there are going to be major substantive and procedural gaffes,” says former Democratic Rep. David Bonior, an uncommitted superdelegate who served as the campaign manager to John Edwards. “The question is how a campaign handles those gaffes and how a candidate handles them. And I think it’s fair to say that Sen. Obama has handled [his] problems better than Sen. Clinton.”
Obama can rightly claim he has run a more consistent, disciplined and technologically savvy campaign. While Clinton has blown though nearly a half-dozen campaign slogans and failed to put concerns about her credibility to rest, he has clung to essentially the same leadership and governing message he outlined in his 2004 speech at the Democratic convention. There has been little drama inside his operation — or at least if there was, it has been kept largely concealed.
“In every campaign, the strategy is important and the day-to-day management is important. And in Obama’s case, it’s hard not to argue that they have run a great campaign,” said Steve Elmendorf, deputy campaign manager for Kerry’s 2004 bid and a Clinton supporter. “It’s been one of the best-run presidential campaigns in the last 20 years. I think they are focused and disciplined and on message. … The test of a good campaign is having a plan and keeping an operation on track to execute a plan.”
Put simply, Obama has shown he can offer a compelling vision, execute a complicated strategy to convey it and, all the while, keep the ledger in the black. That’s not a bad first step to becoming a strong leader.

Barack Hussein Obama, the word elitist means= The choice or most carefully selected part of a group, as of a society.
Your association with the wealthy is the group that you are in. The blue collar worker of the white race isn't a part of your society.
The poor Black people that you have been untruthful to, will soon realize that down the road.
I firmly believe there is a force out there in < GOP> that wants you to be in the General Election. John McCain and company will shut you down like stomping on a bug. They want you selected. Hillary Clintons supporters will vote for John McCain.
The sane voters here will be punished for your hap- hazard campaign and what you stand for, a racist towards whites, association with Islam leaders and Muslim leaders, who are the enemy of the USA.
God help our country
