Clintons Campaign at Church
Senator Clinton and her husband courted Iowa’s African American population today, joining a sparsely attended worship services at the mostly black Mt Carmel Missionary Baptist Church in Waterloo, IA. The city is home to Iowa’s largest black community, but the state as a whole is mostly white; just 2.3% of the state’s 3 million people are African American.
A wicked winter storm that dumped several inches of snow on the roads last night kept much of the congregation at home, but those that did attend stood and applauded when Sen Clinton and the former president entered midway though the service.
Introducing President Clinton, Reverend FT Whitfield said he’d recently seen a contestant on the TV dating show “I Love New York” say he’d met President Clinton, who had given him the tie from around his neck. Rev Whitfield joked “I do like neckties.”
After giving the argument for his wife’s candidacy for a focused three minutes, President Clinton called Christmas a time for giving — and removed his orange necktie to hand over to Rev Whitfield.
Sen Clinton spoke about standing up for those less fortunate, and told the audience that she and her husband are looking forward to being with their family for Christmas — “and giving the people of Iowa a well deserved break from politics.”
But she got in a parting political shot at rival Barack Obama before leaving the good people of Iowa alone for the holidays. “On Christmas eve, I’ll be thinking of the faces and stories of those I’ve met in Iowa,” she said. “I will always do my best to make changes that give people not just hope, but results.”

Do the Clintons hold nothing sacred? It’s Christmas–we’re in church to celebrate the birth of Christ, not listen to Bill tell us how wonderful Hill is (it’s the only way HE can get back in office).
Consider what America got with the first Clinton co-Presidency:
• Abuse of the powers of the office of the President
• Granting Presidential pardons to buy Hillary’s election to the Senate. If you’re a woman who has made it on your own, does Hillary’s need to ride Bill’s coattails and her sense of entitlement not make you doubt her capabilities?
• Hillary’s long-suffering marriage to Bill, enabling a lifetime of sexual trysts, gives me a President without the backbone to stand up to a man. Hillary claims to be tough enough to play with the boys when, in fact, she is unable to leave a cheating husband. How will she stand up to other male leaders who see this in “Mrs.” Clinton and walk all over her?
• Hillary has less experience in elected office than Barack. She’s held elected office for one Senate term plus one year and has introduced no major legislation during that time. Is this the kind of experience we want in the Oval Office? Being married to a former President does not make one qualified to be President.
I am not a “Hillary hater;” I am an America lover. Please consider very carefully which candidate the Democratic Party puts on the ballot. The future of this country absolutely depends on it.
Let me see if I understand this … Was this a church service or a political event.

Why does Denise keep posting incoherent messages all over the blogs?

Three questions:
1. Did they remember to wave their Bibles in front of the camera?
2. How much “walking around” money did they distribute?
3. Did the roof cave in?
