Hillary Clinton - Say No In 08 !!!
SENATOR Hillary Rodham Clinton, in her first public appearance since joining the 2008 White House race, said today she wanted to become US president because she was "worried about the future of our country".
The former first lady, appearing at a health clinic in Manhattan to promote expanded health insurance for children, faced a mob of journalists eager to quiz her on her historic campaign to become the first female US president.
Senator Clinton, 59, announced her widely anticipated bid to seek the Democratic Party's presidential nomination yesterday with a statement on her website declaring: "I'm in. And I'm in to win."
"I'm worried about the future of our country, and I want to help put it back on the right course so that we can work together to meet the challenges that confront us at home and abroad," she said.
"I am best-positioned to be able to do that, and that's why I'm running."
Hillary: No intention to run in 2008
As her massive media book tour kicks off, Hillary Clinton is denying that she's looking to run for the White House five years from now.
"I have no intention of running for president," is how the New York Democrat responded to a question from Time magazine which asked, "Do you want to be president in 2008?"
She answered similarly when asked about 2008 by Barbara Walters in an interview on ABC-TV.
It's not known if the senator's outlook comes in reaction to a poll last week showing most New Yorkers don't want her to make a bid for the White House � ever.
The survey by Marist College Institute for Public Opinion in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., found 58 percent of registered New York state voters opposing her presidential candidacy at anytime in the future.
Nevertheless, Mrs. Clinton is going on the attack against President George W. Bush, telling Time his policies are "radical," and that he's trying to "dismantle the federal government."
On Monday, July 17, 2006, at Fox News headquarters in New York City, Rupert Murdoch hosted a fundraiser breakfast for Hillary Clinton. Then he rushed off to a fundraiser lunch for John McCain, and Hillary rushed off to announce her unqualified support for Israel's and Bush's war policies.
Hillarupert Murdoclinton strikes some people as an unusual combination. I'm sure someone could create a funny cartoon out of that name and a merger of their two smirking masks.
Murdoch's interest is in money, however, and not necessarily in an Oil Empire or a Second Coming – unless some really cool weapon or a blue dress is involved. He likes laws that allow monopolization of media outlets, and he likes high ratings. Hillary's husband gave us the Telecom Act that drove monopolization forward. And nothing would create better ratings for Fox than lots of Hillary hating and Hillary scandals with her as the Democratic nominee for president.
