Reuters -Clinton regains lead in New Hampshire voter poll.

You have to have a leader who is strong and commanding and convincing enough . . . to deal with the unexpected," he said. "There is a better than 50 percent chance that sometime in the first year or 18 months of the next presidency, something will happen that is not being discussed in this campaign. President Bush never talked about Osama bin Laden and didn't foresee Hurricane Katrina. And if you're not ready for that, then everything else you do can be undermined. You need a president that you trust to deal with something that we will not discuss in this campaign. . . . And I think, on this score, she's the best of all." Who better to explain what it takes to be president than the last two-term president the Democrats have had since FDR?"

the government is borrowing money not for long-term growth, but for short term needs, Clinton said. "And that's why you have no trade enforcement," he said. America's biggest creditors also are the nations with the biggest trade surpluses. "Guess what else?" he prodded the crowd. "Our tenth-biggest banker is Mexico. Mexico! We borrow money from Mexico, a country with a per-capita income of less than one tenth ours to pay for my tax cut?" He said it was no wonder than that "there are so many illegal immigrants trying to get into this country to make a living. Maybe they think they'll get a tax cut."
As the crowd laughed, he said that if Mexico spent money investing in schools and manufacturing instead of loaning it to America, "there might be a lot less illegal immigration, cause people can make a living in their own country. Turning back to fiscal issues, he noted that the value of the dollar has decreased as creditors are "putting their money someplace where they think they can get a better deal." And the nation, he said, is digging into a deeper whole. "In this one area, I have to tell you, Hillary is more conservative than the Republicans," he concluded. "She wants to get back to fiscal responsibility, so we will be in control of our economic destiny again."
" While discussing a visit to Bosnia during the signing of the Dayton Peace Accords as First Lady, Clinton took a swipe at Obama saying, "We landed in one of those corkscrew landings and ran out because they said their might be snipers. I don't remember anybody offering me tea on the tarmac when that was happening." She was referring to remarks Obama made yesterday that some - including the Clinton camp - perceived to be a jab at her foreign policy experience.

statement from former Secretary of State Madeline Albright. "Senator Clinton has been in refugee camps, clinics, orphanages, and villages all around the world, including places where tea is not the usual drink. In addition to these experiences she has met with world leaders and has known many of them for years. I have been with her on many of these occasions, and it is this combination of experience and understanding that sets her apart from the field, and why I am supporting her for President."

[Obama on the right kind and wrong kind of experience] Obama has the POTENTIAL to have the right kind of experience. Unfortunately, now is not the time and the Oval Office is not the place to be earning and learning that experience. No president can be perfect but America cannot go from one extreme (GWBush) to another extreme (BHObama). The experienced person can fail and there is greater probability that an Inexperienced person would fail.

[Obama on judgment] One judgment call on the Iraq issue does NOT mean Obama would have good judgments on a gamut of complex issues. From what's been reported he has avoided making a vote on crucial issues. And he only has very limited experience to showcase an array of judgment calls, which did not even do that except showcase tasks that he did just as he ought to. It's not a fair claim by Obama.

[Obama on the Iraq issue] America does not live by "Iraq" alone. It is not even a simple right or wrong issue. Lucky Obama - the present sentiment is just rendering him to seem right. If he has no concrete and significant experience in the world stage and security matters, it would indeed be a gamble to have him as president.

There is much more that can be said about Hillary: forgiving an unfaithful husband that mirrors her capacity to heal a nation's wounds; raising a decent daughter that mirrors her capacity to restore respectability to America; showing personal strength and discipline that mirrors her capacity to be commander-in-chief; keeping generational bonds in the family that mirrors her capacity to inspire bipartisanship.

Obama is running for the presidency now, not because he is called for a vision, but because he is compelled by a favourable condition. His candidacy is not about hope. His hope is about his candidacy.

THIS IS A FRIENDLY INVITATION TO SEN. HILLARY CLINTON

The IOWA caucus goers are just a week away from making their final decision about the hopeful each one chooses. I implore Sen. Hillary Clinton to play her Experience trump Card, by making available on the WEB for US citizens a paper of two pages summing up:
* HER RESUME ILLUSTRATING HER EXPERIENCES AS LAWYER, BEFORE AND DURING HER HUSBAND GOVERNISHIP
* HER PERSONAL PRE- US SENATE, STATE OR NATIONAL OR FIRSTLADY POLITICAL EXPERIENCE
* HER PERSONAL SENATE'S YEARS EXPERIENCE

For what concerns Bill Clinton's labelling Obama as too green, it is necessary to briefly expatiate on such topic. Bill Clinton did not mean that Obama is unripe or too young, incompetent to become president, but he used the metaphoric racist bigotry, a glass ceiling for black person who would never be allowed to confidently stride toward a promising future in the United States of America . Let me take back Clinton to the time when Rev. Jesse Jackson Senior, who had the best experience in terms of politics and civil rights movement, was campaigning for the nomination by the democratic candidacy for the US presidency, for him the issue had never been EXPERIENCE. He was made to understand that the time was still not ripe for Black presidency. When General Colin Powell had tried to take the same path, he was swiftly scared to a point by the same cynicism and bigotry that he even dropped his drive before starting it.
For what concerns Bill Clinton's consideration of Barack Obama as too green to become a US President, I'm kindly inviting him and her wife to cogitate the following French wisdom:
Aux 'mes bien n'es, la valeur n'attend point le nombre des ann'es.
Roughly translated it goes as:
For gifted souls, the core value never waits for the number of years.
If, mistakenly she self-appropriated the two terms of her husband in the White House, every caucus-goer or voter who chooses Sen. Hillary Clinton should be reminded that he or she is choosing the "Siamese Clinton couple" for a THIRD TERM in THE WHITE HOUSE. Electing Barack Obama will open the door for change and of Hope for all.

Many independents and democrats simply will not vote for Hillary for any reason. Her nomination is the only slim hope the Republicans have on winning the election. Must be the reason that Fox news is campaigning for her.

Barack Obama for President.

It's time for America to Rise and Shine again.
