Bill Clinton Hangs Out with the Longhorns

Austin, TX

They just couldn’t get enough—that’s both President Bill Clinton and the students at the University of Texas at Austin. Clinton kept bounding down the steps of the bell tower at UT to greet screaming students. He leapt towards the surging crowd as students climbed on others shoulders to shake hands and take pictures with the former President. Clearly enjoying it, Clinton came down three times to greet the cheering students.

About 7,000 people listened to Clinton for an hour and learned that it was his daughter Chelsea’s birthday. He mentioned it when telling the crowd that even is he wasn’t married to Hillary he would be out campaigning for her:

“I want to tell you this, I do love my wife I plead guilty and especially today this is our daughter’s 28th birthday and she has been out here working,” Clinton said, “This is the anniversary of the happiest day of my life. “

He was introduced by actor Sean Astin and former Housing and Urban Development Director Henry Cisneros. There were Barack Obama supporters with signs and a man with a huge “Investigate 9/11″ sign, but they stayed mellow not interrupting Clinton. There was only one Ron Paul supporter who heckled with a bullhorn at the top of the speech. He called the former President a liar, abortionist, and a murderer. But, was quickly escorted out with no further interruptions.

Like all of his rallies in Texas, he began his speech with early voting and reminded the Longhorns of the Texas two-step: voting in both the primary and caucuses on March 4th:

“Don’t you think your country is worth 2 votes? Don’t you think your future is worth 2 votes?

He told the students—most would have been between ten and fourteen years old at the end of his presidency—about his wife’s health care plan saying that many of the students would not buy health insurance unless it was mandated, but he understood why:

“A lot of you would not buy it because you think you are young and healthy,” Clinton continued with a sigh, “I’ve been there. I know. I can still remember.”

Watch the Bill Clinton greeting the UT students:

Young Texan Voters,

I urge you to take a look at Barack Obama’s voting record before choosing who you will vote for. I feel confident that anyone who takes a look at his record will realize he changes positions when policitically advantageous. Google Barack Obama then click on Barack Obama for Illinois Senate
then click on voting record. You will see for yourselves that he previously voted against access to affordable healthcare, against raising the federal minimum wage and did not vote on the issue of setting aside money to help victims of rape.
Send Obama a message that it takes more than words and empty promises to run this country it takes ideas and action.
You have to ask yourselves, who do I feel more comfortable with as Commander in Chief, someone who is barely learning about Foreign Policy or someone like Hillary who is intellectually superior in this arena.

Would that be the same Henry Cisneros who suburbanized the urban dilemma in this country, but forcing welfare and other subsidized housing away from our cities? New York City’s dreggs of society now reside all over upstate NY… thanks Henry - NOT.

obama the ideaolgue

BO keeps running a campaign calling for unity and nonpartisan politics. Well, could somebody please explain his ideolgical record in Congress and in the Ill. Senate?? More precisely, can anyone explain why the year after the Born Alive Infant Protections Act became federal law, identical language in the Ill senate was defeated and this was led by BO? In March 2001, BO was the ONLY speaker in opposition to the bill on the floor of the Ill senate. He makes Clinton, Boxer and Kennedy look like Right to Lifers.

I’m amazed that Clinton supporters and Republicans haven’t jumped at the chance to expose the illusion of the grand unifier.

Who in his/her right mind wants to unify around this left wing ideological agenda??

Texas, Please vote fot Hillary. I just heard a bad thing. Obama was overheard before a rally, (as he was getting ready to go on stage) telling one of his black campaign workers, ” Watch me make these white people scream; they swoon when I go into my Martin Luther King speeches.”

This is disgusting. I hope this man gets found out and soon.

This just in to our newsroom; Superman rescues a young cheerleader that Bill Clinton has lured into the locker room at the University of Texas. Authorities found Bill to be in possession of dozen Cuban cigars.

Comment by JR - Texas & Ohio HILLARY

VOTE HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The more I read about Obama, the more fearful I become. His record of drugs, association with criminals, the radical black only church and dirty politics. The worldwide support of every muslim group in the world with money and endorsement. Louis Farrakhan, with his Nation of Isalm is a real concern and Obama’s church endorsed him. Obama is not presidential material. His black only mentality is very troublesome and not right for our country. Both Obama and his wife received Ivy League education through affirmative action, but now they are finally proud of our country. Neither of the Obama’s had the grades or finance for the Ivy League college education, but the taxpayer got stuck with the huge expense. Don’t you get that warm and fuzzy feeling regarding the Obama’s. I didn’t use his middle name.
Thank God! People have snapped out of this trance, we want Hillary to stay in the race until Obama’s laundry all airs out…. and as you will find…there is just as much enthusiasm in learning about his faults and laundry that the media “especially” that media machine that CNN has exposed as to what I call a Hillary CNN Bashing Machine… CNN led to this unevenness in race and the truths of a real democratic race itself. I believe whether or not if you are a Christian or not, you should specifically make sure what the core beliefs of your church are…and I’m not into an all black belief based church that Obama represents. I want a church that believes for my core beliefs as well, especially if they are going to be president.. WAIT A MINUTE - Don’t forget they haven’t even got into the Rezko story yet,,,That starts March 3rd,,,,, however in the past week you have seen some good Obama Bashing and WELL DESERVED after all the Hillary bashing. They believe pretty much the same things but experience prevails as to who can accomplish what CAST YOUR VOT FOR HILLARY - THE CLINTON DAYS BROUGHT PROSPERITY TO ALL>>>>>>>>>>>>>

RIGHT ON TO BOYCOTTING CNN
However, it should be until the November elections, what do you really get from them but constant negative coverage against only one FEMALE PERSON Hillary R. Clinton.
SHAME ON YOU, CNN YOU HAVE FALLEN FROM GRACE
SHAME ON YOU, CNN FOR BEING BIAS
SHAME ON YOU, CNN FOR NOT BEING A GENUINE NEWS CHANNEL
SHAME ON YOU, CNN FOR BEING ANTI-IMIGRANTS FROM MEXICO

SHAME ON YOU CNN, FOR BEING THE BEST “Barack Hussein Obama’s” POLITICAL TEAM
Truthfully, Hillary won both debates and Obama had an opportunity to answer since she led out on both debates. DOn’t be decieved by the CNN Media HIllary Bashing Machine!!!! Get the word out we still have time. The white male vote will be the diiference in Texas. How would you feel if the core beliefs of a church that Obama represents respects all black values - kind of like what the KKK represented for the whites that I don’t like either. If you vote for Obama you are saying okay to a Black KKK in a sense.

What about the “Rezko trial beg. March 3rd”, what will this bring…… We need to be very careful and wait and let Obamas dirty laundry air before we make him KING.. We have moved on from the KKK values, we don’t need to go backwards, this is not what MLK would have wanted…

 
Comment by bdwilliams

Here is my problem with your theory,

If you calculate the distribution of Electoral votes needed to become president during a general election (using the states that Hillary and obama won to date). You get:
Hillary: 161 + (Florida 27 and Michigan 17) = 205 obama: 190
Hypothetically, the Supreme Court gives Hillary Florida and Michigan because the “chads” were hanging. LMAO!

Up next: Texas 34, Ohio 20, Pennsylvania 21 (75 Electoral votes)

As you see, if Hillary wins the next three states, she would have the 270 (actually 280) out of 538 needed to become president in the general election. He has not won “any” of the states the Democrats need to win in November! If he can not win them now, how can he win in November? Can you say Superdelegates! They should and must select the candidate with the best chance of winning in November, or the democrats need to learn to say President McCain!

Obama has many questions to answer that nobody but FOX NEWS has had the guts to ask and report.

CNN, MSNBC are two of the biggest Hillary Bashing so called news stations I have ever witessed.

I used to watch CNN abd MSNBC all the time,,,but not now, I have switched to FOX. I can at least get the real news.

Obama’s ties to Farrakhan, the racist hate filled black leader of Nation of Islam.

Obama’s ties to Rezco the slun lord.

Obama’s ties to the terrorist who bombed the Pentegon and other places in the US.

Obama’s church whose teachings are racist.

Obama’s racist Pastor, who praises Farrakhan who hates Jews and white people.

Obama still has now answered these questions.

What else don’t we know about this man???????

CNN and MSNBC will have a lot to account for to the United States public.

OH and Ijust heard that one of the woman news reporters on MSNBC has a brother and uncle ( or dad??) who is working on Obama’s campaign. Hows that for fair and balanced?

And lets not forget General Electric , GE ………..I have emailed them and told them what I think of their news station.
I will never buy another GE Appliance or product as long at I live.

Hillary supporters are trying to dig up dirt by posting bogus web-links just as congress gives money for the bridge to no where. Experts say if they continue to dig they will reach Hong Kong by Saturday.

Hillary campaign cries that they aren’t getting enough camera time and the media is to blame. Perhaps if she wasn’t so depressing to look at and would loose that irritating howl of hers and the fact that people would rather watch Desperate House Wife instead.

Hillary receives nomination for the best female in a daytime soap opera for her role in the Hillary Misery Tour.

Hillary’s new single to be released Monday titled “Cackle and Cry”. Also expected to be released Monday his her new book titles “Sex-Lies and if only they Video”.

 
Comment by Money Bags

Hillary’s campaign is rejoicing about raising approximately 34 million dollars this month.

But then cries when they hear that the Obama camp has raised about 50 million dollars.

Stay tuned to more depressing news from the Hillary camp.

 
Comment by FRANK TELLS

I WANT TO FIX HILLARY CLINTON FOR STAYING WITH BILL WHEN SHE SHOULD HAVE DIVORCED HIM OVER:
1. HIS ANTIMASTURBATION
2. HIS CHEATING ADULTERY
ALSO IM AGAINST HER NOT LISTENING TO ME ABOUT VOTING AGAINST THE ANTI POKER BILL (PHONE CALLS, LETTERS) AND RECEIVING FUNDING FROM HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY OVERCHARGING AND AGE DISCRIMINATING. I ALSO BELIEVE LIKE JOE LIEBERMAN THAT BILL CLINTON SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED AFTER ILLEGALLY CHEATING ON HIS WIFE.
