A list of Hillary Clinton's Lies







The link to the article ---->http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/hillarys_list_of_lies.html

I am surprised that Ms. Clinton has made that much lies. Before reading this article, I knew that she lied about her name and the incident in Bosnia. I also watched the video at youtube.com that compares the clip at Bosnia and her speech. The whole thing was very different then what she said. I don't understand why she lied to us. It will not make her look any good even we didn't discover it to be a lie. In the clip, she walked peacefully out from her car to a place where all the soldiers are and a little girl gave her flowers as a gift. It's hard to believe that she could've rememebered it wrong. If I was in a sniper fire once, I would have remembered it very clearly with the time and location and what happened.

Another lie she made was her name. Hillary claimed that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary who climbed the Mt. Everest five years after her birth. This one especially is unacceptable because she intended to lie on how her name came from to make her look good and didn't even know when Sir Edmund Hillary climbed the Mt. Everest. She should've researched and known him better if she was going to lie.

There are more lies that she wouldn't confess to but one lie is enough to make her not thrust-worthy. I am very disappointed to our first female presidential candidate and I think many people think it this way too.

Senator John McCain's speech on his hope of his first term

Go to --->http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/15/us/politics/15text-mccain.html?_r=1&oref=slogin for the texts of the speech.

McCain is seeing that when he becomes the President of the United States in the election of 2008, the troops in Iraq can finally come home in 2013. He promises to withdraw and set a date for U.S. troops to come back. John McCain also said that "We cannot again leave our problems for another unluckier generation of Americans to fix after they have become even harder to solve.", I think he is 100% right. For many decades, problems remained generations after generations. We need to solve it right away before another problem pops up and triggers another more harder problem. But mostly, the problem occurs on the top people of the country, such as all the sex scandals and one's desire for conquer and taking over other countries' resources and natural goods. I hope what John McCain said will come true even he cannot win this election.

Democracy or Anarchy??? Murray Bookchin High School at large @_@

<------------(Principal Murray Bookchin) lol
If Murry Bergtraum High School turned into Murray Bookchin High School with an anarchistic system running the school, it will be a disaster. The student will have much much more power than in Murry Bergtraum High School because Murry Bergtraum High School is rather a dictatorship school than to be a democratic school. Students in the student government do not have any specific power or say that can greatly change the school system in Murry Bergtraum High School. But at Murray Bookchin High School, students rule basically and they can do whatever they wanted. They can bring cell phones and side-kicks to class and text messages all day or just be absent everyday and hang out with friends. These students may end up in Department of Probation for selling drugs or drinking underage. It will not only affect the school itself, but the entire community as well. I prefer better to have an equally democratic school that students and the school faculties can share the same power and respect with each other. But this seems to be impossible for security reasons. If we want security, we have to give up some freedom. That’s why our school seems to have more power over us. I don’t prefer the Murray Bookchin High School also because the students will have too much power and no one’s able to learn in school. The aim goal of the school system is to provide a place for students to learn and grow properly. I am sure that 90% of the students at Murray Bookchin will be awarded the “Perfect Absents” for never attending school.

Please respond with your comments on Murray Bookchin High School.

******************My comments: *********************

Above is the biography of John McCain since all my other posts are mainly related to Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.

I didn’t know that John McCain was that handsome and good-looking guy 30 years ago. He now looks old (of course) and depressed all the time. I am surprised that on one has ever mentioned this element about him before. I think John McCain does have more than enough experiences and abilities to be our leader of the United States. But I still have to search more information on him to get the fullest idea on him.

Race Over or Not, Obama Takes a Victory Lap

Link for this article : http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/09/us/politics/09obama.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

"Mr. Obama has begun rallying the Democratic party around him and he had proposed his antagonistic tones against Senator John McCain, saying Mr. McCain was "losing his bearings" in his pursuit of the White House. " from NY times.

In my opinion, Barack Obama is a very amirable man who tries his best effort in fairly winning this competition rather than harming others candidates by saying something that is not even true. He said that Mrs. Clinton is a formidable candidate who could not yet be counted out. This spirit of respecting your opponents is very honorable and respectful itself too. I heard today in the news that Hilliary Clinton will not give up this presidential competition until the last second. I don't know if it's real, one of my classmates said that someone who has previously predicted something, and that something really happened, i don't remember what that something was, predicted that the United States will have a female president in 2008 and if Clinton heard this, she will of course keep running this competition because she might believes in the prediction and miracles. However, the stats show that Mr. Obama has a bigger shot of getting this luxury and to prove this prediction to be wronged. On the other hand, Mr. Obama seemed eager to challenge Mr. McCain as he said in the interview of CNN. But I do think that the best attack is to defend. If Barack Obama can do his best on his part and "defend" himself well on any oppositions, he will have an even bigger chance of getting the most popularity in the country for his act of sincerity.
Hope everything will be fine on him.

Both Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama Bowl....badly

A very interesting video by cnn.com on Hillary Clinton's and Barrack Obama's bowling skills.
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/04/07/moos.hillary.bowls.cnn?iref=videosearch

In this video, a kid can bowl better than both Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama. It's really ironic and controversial that even the "best" people have something that they cannot do. I bowled one time in my life and even a newbie like me can make a strike. Many other videos on youtube or other places critize their "disability" on bowling. However, it should not affect their performance in their presidential campaign.

Who's winning?

An up-to-date delegate count graph from cnn.com.

Delegate Definition: (From Dictionary.com)
del·e·gate
[n. del-i-git, -geyt; v. del-i-geyt] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation noun, verb, -gat·ed, -gat·ing.
–noun
1.
a person designated to act for or represent another or others; deputy; representative, as in a political convention.
2.
(formerly) the representative of a Territory in the U.S. House of Representatives.
3.
a member of the lower house of the state legislature of Maryland, Virginia, or West Virginia. –verb (used with object)
4.
to send or appoint (a person) as deputy or representative.
5.
to commit (powers, functions, etc.) to another as agent or deputy.

With the 1629 delegates lead of Barack Obama and the 1486 delegates of Hillary Clinton, it seems like to me that the democrats are winning and it's a closed battle between Obama and Clinton. But there's also a slight chance that John McCain can win the election. I saw the news today saying that the 2008 Olympic torch has gone through though protests and Clinton said Bush should not open to Olympics and should boycott the opening ceremonies for the Olympic games in Beijing. I strongly disagree personally with Hillary Clinton because the Olympics have represented a sacred spirit between different countries in the world and no one should boycott or do anything like stop the Olympic torch over political issues. Such acts have shown the evil side of humanity and in a civilized country like the United States should not act like a barbarian. On the other hand, what image will the Chinese government get if there's no representatives attending the Olympic in Beijing? It would be a great shame and disrespect to China since it's the first time that the Olympic takes place in Beijing of China. I do look forward to the opening ceremony and hope it will not be affected.
