Hillary Clinton Watch: A Cover Up? Now With Video
Bill Clinton explains why the Obama team and in-the-tank MSM is trying so hard to push Hillary out
As Flap wrote previously, Bill Clinton has a point.
Now, does this mean that Hillary will fight all the way to the Denver Convention over seating the Michigan and Florida Democrat delegations? Or will Hillary sue the Democrat Party if they apportion the disqualified Florida and Michigan primary results in an “UNFAIR” way?
If Hillary wants to hurt Obama against McCain so that she can run in 2012 after Obama loses (which she does) she will carry on this fight as long as possible. No matter what anyone says.

John McCain Attacks Obama Over Iraq War
Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., speaks at the New Mexico Veterans Memorial on Monday, May 26, 2008, in Albuquerque.
In an interview today with the Associated Press, Senator and presumptive GOP nominee for President rips into Senator Barack Obama (the presumptive Democrat Presidential nominee) over the Iraq War.
Republican John McCain on Monday sharply criticized Democratic rival Barack Obama for not having been to Iraq since 2006, and said they should visit the war zone together.
“Look at what happened in the last two years since Senator Obama visited and declared the war lost,” the GOP nominee-in-waiting told The Associated Press in an interview, noting that the Illinois senator’s last trip to Iraq came before the military buildup that is credited with curbing violence.
“He really has no experience or knowledge or judgment about the issue of Iraq and he has wanted to surrender for a long time,” the Arizona senator added. “If there was any other issue before the American people, and you hadn’t had anything to do with it in a couple of years, I think the American people would judge that very harshly.”
McCain, a Navy veteran and Vietnam prisoner of war, frequently argues that he’s the most qualified candidate to be a wartime commander in chief. In recent weeks, he has sought portray Obama, a first-term senator, as naive on foreign policy and not as qualified to lead the military.
In time of war the American people will have to decide whether they want an experienced military commander or an inexperienced first term Senator who has never been in the armed services for President.
Obama can criticize the policies of President Bush but will have a harder time persuading voters that he is ready to be commander in chief – especially since McCain was critical of President Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld early on in the war.
Advantage McCain.

Hillary Clinton Watch: A Cover Up?
Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., gives a thumbs up as her daughter, Chelsea applauds during a campaign rally for her supporters in the AFSCME service workers union in Ponce, Puerto Rico Monday, May 26, 2008.
Bill Clinton said yesterday that there is a “COVER UP” hiding Hillary’s chances in beating John McCain in the fall general election.
Former President Bill Clinton said that Democrats were more likely to lose in November if Hillary Clinton is not the nominee, and suggested some were trying to “push and pressure and bully” superdelegates to make up their minds prematurely.
“I can’t believe it. It is just frantic the way they are trying to push and pressure and bully all these superdelegates to come out,” Clinton said at a South Dakota campaign stop Sunday, in remarks first reported by ABC News.
Clinton also suggested some were trying to “cover up” Sen. Clinton’s chances of winning in key states that Democrats will have to win in the general election.” ‘Oh, this is so terrible: The people they want her. Oh, this is so terrible: She is winning the general election, and he is not. Oh my goodness, we have to cover this up.’ ”
Clinton did not expound on who he was accusing.
Bill is correct on the better match-up between Hillary and John McCain. Hillary has a chance and in fact leads in the polls against McCain in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In those states Obama does not do as well.
Hillary Clinton without a doubt would be a more formidable candidate against McCain.
But, the LEFT WING of the Democrat Party does not want Hillary nor does the Black Caucus. And, most Superdelegates not willing to go out on a limb will vote the majority. As it stands today, the majority means Obama.
The GOP will benefit from an Obama nomination and with the decreasing likelihood that Hillary will be the Vice President nominee McCain will have a decided advantage.
Look at these polls and see that Bill Clinton has a point.

Fidel Castro Bashes Obama Cuba Policy
Michael Ramirez on Fidel Castro
Former Cuban President Dictator Fidel Castro has criticized Senator and presumptive Democrat Presidential nominee Barack Obama’s Cuba policy. Note, Castro is 81 years old and has not been seen publicly since July 2006 because of illness.
In a column published Monday by government-run newspapers, Castro said Obama was “the most-advanced candidate in the presidential race,” but noted that he has not dared to call for altering U.S. policy toward Cuba.
“Obama’s speech can be translated as a formula for hunger for the country,” Castro wrote, referring to Obama’s remarks last week to the influential Cuban American National Foundation in Miami.
Obama said he would maintain the nearly fifty-year-old trade sanctions against Cuba as leverage to push for democratic change on the island. But he also vowed to ease restrictions on Cuban Americans traveling to Cuba and sending money to relatives.
He repeated his willingness to meet with Raul Castro, who in February succeeded his elder brother Fidel to become the nation’s first new leader in 49 years.
Castro said Obama’s proposals for letting well-off Cuban Americans help poorer relatives on the island amounted to “propaganda for consumerism and a way of life that is unsustainable.”
He complained that Obama’s description of Cuba as “undemocratic” and “lacking in respect for liberty and human rights” was the same argument previous U.S. administrations “have used to justify their crimes against our homeland.”
Obama’s Cuban policy is nothing but a PANDER BEAR anyway, attempting to siphon off Cuban American votes in Florida. McCain will own Florida and voters will NOT hear anymore of the mild appeasement towards Cuban families. But, Obama and the Democrats have tried to WEASEL their way to Florida Cuban votes albeit unsuccessfully.
The Cuban dictatorial government is teetering on complete failure. A few more years of the embargo, the Cuban people will throw out Raul Castro and Cuba will become free.
The government has had to crack down on dissidents even today.
A free Cuba is a matter of time.
