'When I am president, I will'
U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton repeated her pledge to end the war in Iraq several times during tonight's speech at the Ohio Democratic Party dinner in Columbus.
"Let me be clear," Clinton said. "If this president won't end this war during his time in office, when I am president I will."
"We cannot take on our global challenges without help," she said. "We need to get back to a foreign policy that builds alliances, not alienation."
"We need global coalitions to deal with poverty and AIDS, global warming and global terrorism. . ."
"I know there are some who say that a woman can't win the presidency. I say we'll never know unless we try."

Post a Comment*Awesome! Hillary Clinton just promised to end the war in Iraq by 2013, what great leadership that shows! Who said Hillary Clinton wouldn't make the tough choices? Hillary for Prez
..you mean the war she voted for?
yes, generally when you start something, you tend to want to end it as well. of course, most americans would probably prefer a different alternative than waving a giant white flag, but hey, i guess if that's your only idea, you have to go with what you got!
Hillary is such a liar. She told the NY Times she would keep a small permanent force in Iraq if elected. Maybe she means she just keep a small war in Iraq.
perhaps the most boring speech - ever heard -
didn't realize it was "stump for Hills night"! -
kinda scary rhetoric -
charisma - void!
loved the baggy pantsuit -
as nowhere = as the endless - self-serving speech
half the room was asleep!
the rest - jumpimg up - to stay awake -
More evidence that the Repugnicant Party is finished:
http://www.dispatch.com/dispatch/content/local_news/stories/2007/05/14/tedpoll.html
This dysfunctional ragtag group of Christian charlatans and crooked businessmen is going to go under after 2008. Even if they sommehow manage to survive, the Justice Department will try them as a corrupt enterprise under RICO statutes.
sure beats president custer's position.
Sure can tell when the wrong wingnut whackos sling the elephant dung propaganda !
Next, they will be calling her:
Billary !
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2007 !
Looks like the Democrats are the new Culture of Corruption...
Columbus mayor's wife's work hours probed
Ex-supervisor says Frankie Coleman was not on state job all the time she claimed
Friday, May 11, 2007
Reginald Fields and Aaron Marshall
Plain Dealer Bureau
Columbus- Parking records suggest that the wife of Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman was on her state job only two-thirds of the time she claimed.
Frankie Coleman's parking records are among the documents that have been turned over to the state inspector general as part of an investigation ordered by Gov. Ted Strickland into an accusation that she claimed hours she did not work. She is an assistant manager in the Department of Development.
The records show Coleman's arrivals and departures from a state garage where she regularly parked using a state-issued pass. Those records indicate that her car was in the facility roughly 230 hours out of the 344 hours of a nine-week work period through the end of April.
Mike Brown, a spokesman for Mayor Coleman, said the mayor's wife will not comment while the state investigation continues. "There is no reason to comment on anything until the inspector general's investigation is over," said Brown.
Frankie Coleman did not return calls placed to her office phone on Thursday. She has said she worked every hour for which she was paid.
Coleman started her $70,000-a-year job on Feb. 26. Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher heads the Department of Development.
There are close political ties among Fisher, Mayor Coleman and Strickland, who are all Democrats. The Columbus mayor headed Strickland's gubernatorial transition team this year and in 1998 was Fisher's running mate when Fisher ran for governor.
The probe into Frankie Coleman's timesheets stems from an accusation made by one of Coleman's former supervisors, Glenda Williamson, who told the Columbus Dispatch this week that in March she refused to approve a timesheet Coleman sub mitted because she did not believe she had worked the full 40-hour week she claimed.
Williamson told the newspaper that Coleman typically didn't arrive until 9:30 a.m. or later and did not come to work for three days in a two-week period.
The parking records show that Coleman's parking pass was not used on March 5, March 6 and March 14 - workdays on which she claimed she was in the office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Williamson was fired on March 16, the last day of that same two-week pay period. Fisher has said that Williamson's firing was not connected to her complaint about Coleman.
Williamson could not be reached for comment.
Starting with her first day on the job, Coleman's timesheet shows she started work at 8 a.m. But the parking garage records show that she rarely arrived before 9 a.m.
She did not use the parking pass on April 17, a day her timesheet showed she was in the office for eight hours. On four other days Coleman's car was in the garage for less than two hours.
The parking records also suggest that Coleman was rarely in the office a full day. Records show that on only 12 of the 43 days she said she worked - from Feb. 26 through April 27 - was her car parked in the garage for a total of eight hours. While there were 45 work days, she took two personal days in March.
Records showed that during that period she nearly always left during the lunch hour and often was gone for more than hour.
Kimber Perfect, the communications director for the Department of Development, declined to say how often Coleman's job duties would have taken her out of the office.
"That's really not an appropriate question for me to comment on," said Perfect.
A job description faxed by Perfect on Thursday night showed that 10 percent of Coleman's job duties could include travel throughout the state.
Keith Dailey, a spokesman for Strickland, declined to comment on the parking records. Dailey said that Coleman remains on the job during the investigation.

Obviously you believe anything a FIRED Repugnicant political operative says.
Pathetic!
You must be one of the hundreds of thousands FIRED incompetent Repugnicant political hacks who mismanaged our country, state, and county for many years. You took your orders from the big corporations and looked the other way while they plundered the American people. You invoked snake-handling 19th-century religious imagery to justify your support of your Repugnicant puppet masters.
Now you're paying the price. Here's hoping Attorney General Marc Dann decides you were just incompetent and not criminal in your neglect of the people.
Perhaps Hillary should talk to the flip-flopping, born-again, fundamentalist fanatic:
McCain
about the war ?
PATHETIC !
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2007 !
Hillary is a joke like her husband. She should move to Canada and stay there with her whiskey nosed family.
"...the new Culture of Corruption..."
Looks like the wRong wingnut whackos are slinging the elephant dung propaganda, again !
For political gain, the "culture of corruption" will fail to obey the Federal Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA)
regarding "EXEMPT" employees !
Why do you think the "whacko boss" doesn't have a job anymore ?
Salary means salary, not hourly !
As such, the employer need not pay overtime or minimum wage !
Can an "Exempt" employees pay be docked ?
An "Exempt" employee under the 'ACT' must receive full salary for any week in which he or she performs any work without regard to the number of hours worked or the quality of the work performed, PERIOD !
Typical wRong wingnut whackos are always willing to "break the law" for political, elephant dung, propaganda !
The whackos created the 'exemptions' to the law to protect their corporate executive pay while they attend unreported in-kind gifts like golf outings with 'convicted' governors !
PATHETIC !
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2007 !
Hmmm...I guess Buckeye Republicants haven't learned from their political comrades in NY - 59% of them give Senator Clinton a favorable rating.
What's with Jon Craig's obsession with Senator Clinton? Playing to his audience? Now that's a challenge!
