Skip to comments.Hillary Clinton: US would make strong statement electing me as the 1st female President
Posted on 09/26/2013 6:21:05 AM PDT by Texas Fossil
Yes, strong statement that the US elects Serial Killers as President. Really? This lady deserves to be in jail.
(The Hill) Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that it would be a very strong statement for the U.S. to elect a female president.
Clinton was asked how important it would be for the U.S. to elect a female president by moderator Sanjay Gupta during a panel discussion at the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative.
That is a question that I will answer taking myself totally out of it, she said, according to The Washington Post.
She then added: The idea that our country has still some unfinished business of our own politically, I think we have to accept.
Clinton suggested that electing the first female president could help eliminate some of the economic barriers women face in the U.S. and globally.
(Excerpt) Read more at gopthedailydose.com ...
BUT she IS the "Witch of Benghazi"
Look at the pic. Is a picture truly worth a thousand words?
God Help US.
The pic of "The Benghazi Witch"
We already are suffering the disastrous results of an affirmative action President. We don't need another.
Yes. We'd be telling the world "We're even dumber than you thought we were when we re-elected Obama".
Scrape the bottom vote for Rodham?
And they will.
We are in the symbolism era now.
Never mind if the candidate is as dumb as a rock.
Yes, it would be a very strong statement of how stupidly politically correct this country has become if the woman voted in is HILLARY! Clinton. Electing Sarah Palin, on the other hand....
She did not say it was about "electing me", she took herself out of it before even answering the question.
We don't need to make stuff up to denounce her as evil, there are plenty of true facts around.
Sarah will get my vote!
No sh*t.
It would say we are retarded.
How about making a stronger statement and electing Ted Cruz the first Hispanic-American president?
Yes, it would be a VERY strong statement.
And the statement would be, "We're nuts."
I guess we should work our way down the list of minorities, etc.
We had our black president (half black).
We could have a female president with Hillary (half female).
Then an illegal immigrant who doesn't speak English.
Then someone who is a certified moron. Got that covered right now.
And then the next one would be whoever the United Nations picks for us.
Astute Observation.
hee hee hee
Great point.
Gawd, what is that???
They used up the race card, and they're seeing if there's anything left on the sex card.
The Benghazi Witch
"Strong statement"?
Yes. It would.
"America has turned into a 3rd World sh*thole and we've all lost our minds."
The Benghazi Witch
The "Holy Family."
The Clintons' 24/7 self-promotion--a familiar do-good liberal schtick: whining about "helping" the needy, and hoping to make a buck on it.
All of the Clintons' shady proclivities are unveiled in the recent NYT story. Corruption, greed, entitlement, nepotism, cronyism. The Clintons didn't have a pot to *** in in Arkansas---never even had a home to call their own. Now they're multi millionaires.......the connivers have perfected the scam WRT gaming the system for themselves.
There needs to be a thorough going-over of the three Clinton Foundations' funding. We need to know who pays/funds the Clinton's real lifestyle especially now that Hillary is running for prez. It is important to know to whom the Clinton's are truly indebted.
NY POST EXCERPT ----The Bill Clinton Foundation has spent more than $50 million on travel expenses Bill Clintons foundation has spent more than $50 million on travel expenses since 2003, an analysis of the nonprofits tax forms reveal.....includes $4.2 million in 2011 for the William J. Clinton Foundation (to which Hillary and Chelsea are attached); $730,000 for the Clinton Global Health Initiative; and $7.2 million for the Clinton Health Action Initiative (CHAI).
How many ways can the conniving Clintons use their name to launder money?
<><> The William J. Clinton Family Foundation......
<><> the Clinton Global Health Initiative......
<><> the Clinton Health Action Initiative (CHAI).
More importantly, what is the connection between Corzine's MF Global, Teneo (which paid Bill Clinton $50,000 per month), The Clintons multiple tax-exempt foundations, and Muslim money-Laundering?
The more cynical among us might wonder if Teneo, Obama pal Corzine and his bankrupt investment company (MFG "misplaced" $1.4 Billion), and the Clintons' Foundations are money laundering for the Muslim Brotherhood. Read on.
LET'S STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE WITH BILL AND HILL--- As President, Bill Clinton made policies that raised hundreds of billions (if not trillions) of dollars for his obscenely-rich donor/pals.
His North American Free Trade initiative made it easy for, and even encouraged, corporations to outsource jobs and then import their products back into the U.S...... The repeal of Glass-Steagall on his watch sent Wall Street into the money-making frenzy that led to the Great Recession/Depression of 2008......and subsequent taxpayer bailouts.
In exchange for these obscene gifts of corporate welfare, at the expense of America's middle and working classes, you'd think the Clintons' rich friends would have no trouble coughing up a mere $250 million endowment for the foundation.
Now it seems, the captains of crony capitalism are begging off....they just don't feel they have enough money to help their old friends Bill and Hillary secure their so-called "legacy."
Sen Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) is probing longtime Hillary Rodham Clinton aides employment status, asking how Huma Abedin got a sweetheart deal as a private six-figure consultant while at the State Department.
Abedin is married to disgraced ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner, loser in the NYC mayoral race. The two hauled in as much as $350,000 in outside income on top of Abedins $135,000 government salary after Weiner quit Congress over a sexting scandal.
Abedin was assigned special government employee status, and was able to haul in cash as a private contractor. One of her clients was Teneo Holdings, a consulting firm founded by Bill Clinton aide Doug Band.
Teneos Web site calls itself the next chapter in strategic advisory,
NOTE: Last Dec, a former MF Global employee accused former president Clinton----chairman of Teneo's advisory board----of collecting $50,000 per month through his Teneo advisory firm in the months before MFG careened towards its Halloween filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, as hundreds of millions of investor funds disappeared, reports Human Events.
Teneo was hired by MF Globals former CEO Jon S. Corzine to improve his image and to enhance his connections with Clintons political family, said the employee, who asked that his name be withheld because he feared retribution, according to HE. The Teneo contract with MF Global lasted at least five months, the souce said. The board cancelled it after Corzine resigned.
The source, who is no longer associated with MF Global, said Teneo is a dual-track company with one side devoted to merchant and investment banking and the other side set up to provide image and strategy consulting services.
The trustee for investors later sued JPMorgan bank for return of about $450M that MFG had transferred to the bank.
HOW MANY WAYS TO MONEY LAUNDER? LET US COUNT THE SCAMS----Ponzi King Madoff laundered money for tax-exempt foundations and groups that handed him millions of dollars.
When he went to jail, investigators found Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances.
But the purpose of this complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny and generate more fees.
Maybe if she were also a one-legged, lesbian, African with a transexual partner, but just being female isn't enough to get the Dem base worked up anymore.
If the Republicans don't do something about her and soon, she will be the next president.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, dyke hillary - the same hillary who stayed with a guy who was cheating on her left right and center, the same hillary who is responsible for FOUR DEAD AMERICANS. Yeah, that's quite a statement.
Ooops...almost forgot....Benghazi as well.
COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACIES GALORE Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances.
But the purpose of this complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny and generate more fees.
WIKI.COM Stanley Chais, a philanthropist who invested heavily with Mr. Madoff, and Carl J. Shapiro, one of the money manager's oldest friends, are among at least eight Madoff investors and associates being scrutinized by the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan. Prosecutors are continuing to probe Madoff family members and employees.
Others include: Frank Avellino, a Florida accountant who ran an investment fund that invested client money; Noel Levine, a real-estate investor who works out of a two-room office on the 17th floor, next door to Madoff's fraudulent investment operation, and Palm Beach investor Robert Jaffe, a son-in-law of Mr. Shapiro who referred potential investors to Madoff. [4]
Madoff Securities International Ltd.----In 2008, about $1 billion was transferred last between Madoffs U.S. firm and Madoff Securities International Ltd. in London. [5][6] On March 24, 2009 Judge Louis L. Stanton granted power of attorney to Irving Picard, trustee, over Madoff's controlling stake in London.[7]
Authorities in the U.K. are seeking evidence of money laundering involving the London business, Madoff Securities International Ltd., which opened in 1983 as a separate legal entity from Mr. Madoff's U.S. New York office. He allegedly sent more than $250 million beginning as early as 2002, from his New York-based firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, to the U.K. office and then back to accounts in the U.S.[5][6]
In 2000, Madoff began to add staff and expand the operation, and loaned the business $62.5 million. He had a staff of 25, including traders, managers and support. Instructions to staff was that they communicate with Madoff Securities through personal e-mail accounts, not through company e-mail.[5]
There were nine directors. Family members with shares included Mark and Andrew Madoff, Peter Madoff, and Bernard himself. Ruth Madoff, Bernard Madoff's wife, also held shares. [8] Non-family members with shares included Maurice J. "Sonny" Cohn. Madoff and Cohn were shareholders in Cohmad Securities, which steered investors to Mr. Madoff's advisory business.
In 1987, Mr. Cohn had shares of Madoff Holdings Ltd., a predecessor to the current London firm. In 1998, Mr. Cohn held 35,624 non-voting shares, some of which he transferred to "BL Madoff" in 1998, and the rest that he "disposed of" in 2004.[8]
Paul Konigsberg, a New York City accountant and a longtime friend for more than 25 years, prepared two Madoff Family Foundation tax returns, and received the non-voting shares, valued at $35,000. He did work for the London office when it was first opened. [8] A general ledger of Madoff accounts listed Konigsberg, of the reputable accounting firm of Konigsberg, Wolf & Co., as receiving $30,000 a month to advise the MSIL operations, and funnel client checks to the London office for Madoff's own use.[9]
Clients were often directed to Mr. Konigsberg by Mr. Madoff and his family. Mr. Konigsberg prepared the tax returns of foundations of six other families, many of which have lost millions, even hundreds of millions, of dollars. He also represented scores of individual Madoff investors.
Mr. Konigsberg's firm has received a civil subpoena from the SEC. His Madoff-related clients included Carl and Ruth Shapiro, Boston philanthropists whose foundation lost $145 million, and whose son-in-law, Robert M. Jaffe, under investigation, is a Madoff business partner.[9][10]
Konigsberg held Madoff accounts under his name including two in the name of the Westlake Foundation. Paul J. and Judith Konigsberg are officers and directors of the foundation. He owns homes in his wife, Judith's name in Greenwich, Connecticut and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.[11]
On April 20, 2009, Steven Leber filed a $4 million lawsuit against Konigsberg and his accounting firm for negligence, and breach of fiduciary duty.[12] Konigsberg answered the charges with affirmative defenses.[13]
Evidence is being gathered by investigators on a U.S.-U.K. task force that Konigsberg and Levy, a real-estate mogul and philanthropist are believed to be involved in an international transfer of money. Levy is believed to have helped Paul Konigsberg funnel checks to London. And investigators in New York say there were billions of dollars worth of checks going back and forth between Madoff and Levy.[9]
Ruth and Bernie Madoff had an intimate relationship with Levy and his wife, Betty. Madoff was long known to have been Levy's "fixer," obtaining everything from choice restaurant reservations to emergency medical care. Levy had offices one floor below Madoff's in New Yorks Lipstick Building. It was Levy who introduced high-profile investors to Madoff.
Jeanne Levy-Church's losses forced her to shut her JEHT Foundation and her parents foundation, the Betty and Norman F. Levy Foundation, lost $244 million. JEH helped the less fortunate, especially ex-convicts.[9][10]
Nope,not dumb.Not by a longshot.Amoral.That's different.And worse.Much worse.
Indeed it would.
The statement would read:
"We like electing totally unqualified bimbos who have never created anything useful or profitable in their sorry lives. But what difference does it make?"
And that statement would be:
The majority of America's voters are completely bat-sh*t crazy.
If they elect her I will make a strong hurl.
Listening to the vile Tamara Holder on Hannity last night gave me a preview of what's to come if Hillary runs. The show was about Ted Cruz's epic showdown on Obamacare. Tamara in true form starts ranting "the republicans want to get between women's legs,." I dare Hillary to use that line.
Ahhhh.... The 1st lesbian.
BUT she IS the "Witch of Benghazi"
Someone needs to tell Hitlery that Benghazi blood is dripping off her hands.
I think She's got the lesbian part down pat.
Barack Obama is the first female president.
Transgender analbum.
She had Vince Foster's and many other's blood dripping off her hands long before the blood of the Benghazi's victims were on her hands. My guess is that she gleefully, while laughing manically [figuratively] plunged her hands into the victims of Benghazi's blood again and again.
The 'strong statement' is
"we're still a bunch of idiots with our heads in our anal passageways"
Strong Statement:
"We're REALLY Stupid!"
"It's my turn now to be President."
"It's my turn!"
"It's my turn!"
Bwahhhh .. "It's my turn next!"
"I think Shes got the lesbian part down pat." Pat? I thought it was Huma??
Geeze, I was kind of thinking Obama was the first female president
One... dangerous... bitch.
The book "Dereliction of Duty" by Lt Col Buzz Patterson recounts his stint as the carrier of the "nuclear football." He mentions numerous instances in which Hillary would melt down into an uncontrollable fit of screaming and profanities at anyone around her. Patterson said Secret Service agents truly despised Hillary and hated being anywhere around her.
Here are some other examples of Hillary's "flowery" language:
'Where is the G-damn f***ing flag? I want the G-damn f***ing flag up every f***ing morning at f***ing sunrise!!'
(From the book 'Inside The White House' by Ronald Kessler, p. 244 - Hillary to the staff at the Arkansas Governor's mansion on Labor Day, 1991)
'You sold out, you mother f***er! You sold out!'
(From the book 'Inside' by Joseph Califano, p. 213 - Hillary yelling at Democrat lawyer)
'F**k off! It's enough that I have to see you ****-kickers every day, I'm not going to talk to you too!! Just do your G*damn job and keep your mouth shut.'
(From the book 'American Evita' by Christopher Anderson, p. 90 - Hillary to her State Trooper bodyguards after one of them greeted her with 'Good Morning.')
'You f***ing idiot.'
(From the book 'Crossfire' p. 84 - Hillary to a State Trooper who was driving her to an event.)
'If you want to remain on this detail, get your f***ing ass over here and grab those bags!'
(From the book 'The First Partner' p. 259 - Hillary to a Secret Service Agent who was reluctant to carry her luggage because he wanted to keep his hands free in case of an incident.)
'Get f***ed! Get the f**k out of my way!!! Get out of my face!!!'
(From the book 'Hillary's Scheme' p. 89 - Hillary's various comments to her Secret Service detail agents.)
'Stay the f**k back, stay the f**k away from me! Don't come within ten yards of me, or else! Just f**king do as I say, Okay!!!?'
From the book 'Unlimited Access', by Clinton FBI Agent in Charge, Gary Aldrige, p. 139 - Hillary screaming at her Secret Service detail.)
'Where's the miserable c*ck sucker?'
From the book 'The Truth About Hillary' by Edward Klein, p. 5 - Hillary shouting at a Secret Service officer)
'Put this on the ground! I left my sunglasses in the limo. I need those sunglasses. We need to go back!'
(From the book 'Dereliction of Duty' p. 71-72 - Hillary to Marine One helicopter pilot to turn back while en route to Air Force One.)
'Son of a bitch.'
(From the book 'American Evita' by Christopher Anderson, p. 259 - Hillary's opinion of President George W. Bush when she found out he secretly visited Iraq just days before her highly publicized trip to Iraq)
'What are you doing inviting these people into my home? These people are our enemies! They are trying to destroy us!'
(From the book 'The Survivor' by John Harris, p. 99 - Hillary screaming to an aide, when she found out that some Republicans had been invited to the Clinton White House)
'Come on Bill, put your dick up! You can't f**k her here!!'
(From the book 'Inside The White House' by Ronald Kessler , p. 243 - Hillary to Gov. Clinton when she spots him talking with an attractive female at an Arkansas political rally)
'You know, I'm going to start thanking the woman who cleans the restroom in the building I work in. I'm going to start thinking of her as a human being.'
(From the book 'The Case Against Hillary Clinton' by Peggy Noonan, pg. 55)
'We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices. Government has to make those choice s for people'
(From the book 'I've Always Been A Yankee Fan' by Thomas D. Kuiper, p. 20.. Hillary to Rep. Dennis Hastert in 1993 discussing her expensive, disastrous taxpayer-funded health care plan)
'I am a fan of the social policies that you find in Europe' Hillary in 1996'
(From the book 'I've Always Been A Yankee Fan' by Thomas D. Kuiper, p. 76 - Hillary in 1996)
America made a "strong statement" electing Barack the Kenyan as the 1st "black" President and look where that got us. No thanks Hillary. America can't afford making any more "strong statements".

Throughout recorded history – traversing time and space, cultures and nations – the notion of community has fostered both collaboration and conflict. Communities, much
like the individuals who inhabit them, come into being, evolve and eventually disappear. As such, they are the philosophical, social, cultural and political representations of their members. Whether defined by their geographical borders or collective identities,they share common goals, beliefs and needs. The significance of community building,community belonging and community intersections is thus filtered into literature, art,
music and film.
The 24th annual GAFIS Symposium seeks to explore community articulation in cultural productions and, most importantly, how our work as scholars might further our understanding of the human condition and the interplay between individuals and their community ties.
We invite abstracts in English ranging from 200 – 250 words that relate to or expand upon the topics suggested below. We encourage submissions from all related disciplines
(such as French, Italian, Romance Languages, Communication Arts, Anthropology,Sociology, Comparative Literature, Theater, Gender and Women's Studies, African Studies, European Studies, Religious Studies and Global Studies).
Papers will be limited to 20 minutes and must be presented in English. In your abstract, please include your name, email address, academic affiliation, and AV requests. Along
with your abstract submission, please suggest the category or categories to which you feel your submission is best suited.
Please address inquiries and abstract submissions to Loren Eadie and Trésor Yoassi at email@example.com. Abstracts must be received no later than February 4th,

Rambling Cosby show delivers small rewards
A personal preface seems necessary before the review gets on to expressing profound disappointment with Bill Cosby's appearance at the Riverside Theater on Saturday night.
When this critic was a child, he got his first exposure to stand-up comedy through his aunt's collection of the classic records Cosby released throughout the 1960s. Later encounters with varied works - from the animated show "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" to many seasons of "The Cosby Show" - only strengthened a belief that Cosby inhaled experience and exhaled humor. »Read Full Article(5)

The sad news that Bob Brenly will be leaving the Chicago Cubs broadcast booth was announced on Wednesday. The sound that you heard was a collective sigh of resignation by the Cubs fan base which will miss the friendly but gruff Brenly. They had grown to love the Len and Bob Show even when the team was unwatchable.
Brenly Will Be a Tough Act to Follow

Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs Quiseb Ravine
African Adventure in more ways than one!!!
On this trip, I visited Botswana, Namibia & South Africa between 25-Sep-2009 and 18-Oct-2009 and I travelled with 1 other person.
We planned our trip a year and a half ahead of our travel date, which allowed us to book all the accommodation that we wanted to stay in at the places we wanted to visit. Maruska is fantastically knowledgeable and very friendly and always tried to match our wishes with the places that she knew would suit us. This proved very much the case with KTC. We were sad that Maruska had moved to New Zealand, by the time we returned, however, we had the pleasure of meeting Chris McIntyre and Tracy Lederer who were also very kind and helpful on our return.
Prior to our departure in addition to Chris' books and the brochure, the literature and the organization of the vouchers and pictures of the places we were staying at, were excellent. We often spent time at airports spotting EA travel tags!!!
We also met other travellers who were equally happy with their EA trip.
We had the most wonderful trip, which surpassed all our expectations. We would definitely recommend Expert Africa to anyone wishing to travel to Africa, particularly for making it such a personally tailored experience. We certainly will be using EA on our next trip!
Just to mention as well we had a very comfortable stay at the Brigadoon in Swakopmund run by a lovely called Margaret .
Feedback response
Maruska is still working full-time for Expert Africa - and has started our first overseas office, in New Zealand.
I stayed at and have reviewed:
