Sources report the ex-president made an unannounced stop by the MGM Grand employee dining room this morning. Greeted like a rock star. Entourage came with Hillary buttons "I love my union, I'm voting for Hillary" flyers (Spanish and English).
In spite of repeated requests from hotel staff that they not hand them out, employees kept asking for them. Chelsea reported to be leafleting, too.

It takes a particularly brassy group to enter a business for the purpose of soliciting votes, the staff being nice enough to allow you in, and then to ignore the polite requests to not litter their workplace with crap, which they will be responsible for cleaning up.
Pretty callous, as usual.
Can't wait to hear his excuses for losing tonight.

Ronald Reagan of course died in 2004. And when he did, he was praised "for the way he personified the indomitable optimism of the American people", a statement issued by - you guessed it - Bill and Hillary Clinton. (Not that anyone should hold it against them, it was a eulogy after all.) Krugman decried Reagan's tax policies, but did have this to say: "Still, on both foreign and domestic policy Mr Reagan showed both some pragmatism and some sense of responsibility."

"But no president can do it alone. She must break recent tradition, cast cronyism aside and fill her cabinet with the best people, not only the best Democrats, but the best Republicans as well.. We’re confident she will do that. Her list of favorite presidents - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, both Roosevelts, Truman, George H.W. Bush and Reagan - demonstrates how she thinks. As expected, Bill Clinton was also included on the aforementioned list."
If Obama is callous then Hilliary is a dragon. She has attacked him at every turne and lied and avoids questions as well. Obama 08'.
Even if Obama loses tonight Hillary still has to split her delegates with him and then face a lose in SC.
What I regret about these recent weeks of dirty politics, is that Barack Obama, through no fault of his own, has been painted, in lurid colors, by the Clinton's(cause let's face it, Bill is running with Hillary this time:)) into a person he is really not. It's obvious that many people didn't know about Obama before this election heated up.
I'm not trying to sway anyone's vote, because we are all going to vote the way according to our own reason. All these heated exchanges and bare naked attempts to appeal to each other's emotions for the benefit of our chosen candidate are not likely to change our minds. But with that said, and no matter if Hillary winds up destroying Barack, or if magically people wind up supporting him in wild numbers again, Barack Obama has honestly led a remarkable political life, and has largely worked toward helping the poor, fighting corporate power, and working to improve health care.
Now, you may be skeptical of that, given all the press coverage and rumors that have been floating around, but it really is true. Read Time Magazines article - http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/...
Time's article is clear and concise, but if you'd rather read just a listing of facts on Obama, read the Wikipedia Encyclopedia entry on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obam...
Barack has lived a fairly noble life, as far as politicians go. So I just don't think its fair the way the media, and the Clinton's are trying destroying his image. he's lead a good life, and honestly believes in the idea that our government would better if we'd minimize bipartisanship polarization. He's one of our better politicians, and even if he doesn't win, he's still going to keep fighting for the common good.
And another thing, when has it been the Democratic way to use FEAR OF RACE, the way Hillary has to win an election. When has our party decided that suing to suppress votes is legitimate? And since when did we decide that just because you're married to a popular president, you deserve to become president yourself.
ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton
Fear of war/Fear of race/ Fear of war/ Fear of race
Bush/Clinton/Bush Clinton/
TAKE THESE POLITICAL FAMILIES OUT OF WASHINGTON - THEY HAVE HIJACKED IT FOR TOO LONG. 30 YEARS OF BUSH/CLINTON PRESIDENCIES IS WHAT IS DESTROYING OUR GOVERNMENT, BECAUSE NO ONE WITH A FRESH PERSPECTIVE IS ALLOWED IN.
WE NEED NEW BLOOD IN WASHINGTON!!!!
So the Clinton's sue to suppress union vote, and then they try to pander to voters in their workplace.
Uggh
Washington,
I was talking about Bill Clinton. Clinton is blaming the Culinary Union for suppressing votes ?? When the Clintons just lost a lawsuit aimed to suppress votes? I'd call that callous. He's completely lost my respect.
This whole Clinton campaign is a sham, a say-anything-do-anything for power charade.
I support Barack Obama. I hope he wins tonight.
Despite what these candidates try to do, truth will always trump lies. I site my sources so that the intelligent among you may follow the sources and judge them for yourselves. My claims?
1. Obama has been fighting for the common man since his earliest years, and has won praise as a skilled negotiator. He really does believes in non-partisanship as a way to operate better government, and a presidency under him would not leave republicans or independents out. --http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1704117,00.html
A listing of his record is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obam... -- everything at wikipedia is well cited, and any claim can be followed to it's source.
2. Hillary Clinton's hilarious assertion that she helped pass the Children's Health Insurance Program was the biggest lie this whole campaign season. Senator Ted Kennedy, democrat in a partnership with Senator Orrin Hatch, conservative republican, wrote the bill and sponsored it together. True bipartisanship. This was in 1997 people, Hillary was not in office at the time, she was a first lady living under the Monica Lewinsky scandal. So how did she help pass any legislation? Lol, talk about taking other people's credit. I'll admit she championed the issue, just like a lot of first lad's through-out history have championed issues, but that does not mean that you created it-- http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.ht...
The horrible Clintons are passing out leaflets!!! How dare they!!!! And Obama is a saint who would never do such a dirty thing as passing out leaflets to potential voters.
hahahahahahaha Some of these comments are really funny!!!
Hillary Likes Reagan too:

DD,
Sorry about that. I hope Obama wins tonight too!
Obama also said he admired some of Reagans talents(communication and he was slammed so Hillary should be a hipocritical. Regardless, if hillary saw that they were bringing the issue to court she should of tried to tell them not to because even hispanics have to vote but she didn't. Then she tells Obama to distance him self from the spanish broadcast directed towards the spanish people in regards to her attemp to stop them from voting. She is a hipocrite! Her campaign needs to know when to silence Hillary and Bill. Anyways, who is really running Bill or Hillary? Go Obama 08'!!!
She played hard ball with him, so now its his turn to play hard ball with them. Hillary is a mentirosa como su marido! Hillary is a liar like her husband. He lied on the stand and that is why they took his law license from him. And she lies about her involvment with the comments made by her campaign and their supporters!
