“Clinton Ready for Petraeus Hearing,” reports CBS News’s blog.
Hillary Clinton takes time out from the campaign trail to question the country’s top general in Iraq, at a scheduled hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee today. A senior aide tells CBS News that Clinton will “really press” Gen. David Petraeus and Amb. Ryan Crocker who are “both good men in tough jobs, defending bad policy.”
Before joining her colleagues at the committee hearing today, Sen. Hillary Clinton appeared on several morning TV programs and was asked a wide range of questions about her campaign as well as today’s hearing:

I watched her on CSpan. She was so…..presidential.
She is hot! The Senator is hot hot hot! She is not passive like a certain unnamed opponent.
And she’s up by 18 in Pennsylvania according to SUSA!
Make calls for this woman, our next president!!
oh please let it be!
I’ve been so busy today this is GREAT to have all this right here on your front page! THANKS!! (awesome videos)
This blog is turning into the first place I go when I log on and the last place I read before I shut it down.
I’d give you a prize if I had one. hehe.
I never get tired of watching Hillary clips. I can barely watch TV when BO is on. It’s almost the same reaction I have when GW is on. I know that’s too bad because he may end up as VP or worse he may squeak out top billing. sigh. so much for Nov. :-/
Only if his backers want their plans completely defeated, if they hope to achieve anything, they’ll dump Obama…
lol.
It would be foolish for Hillary to even consider this. Obama is simply too incompetent and corrupt to serve as Veep.
Not mention making Hillary a sitting duck for the right wing attack machine.
Fox interview is the best.
Watch Hillary’s eyes, face as the Fox host reads Obama’s quote from San Francisco that he has more foreign policy knowledge than Hillary and McCain. Hilarious!
Starts at 5:15 in the Fox interview. It gave her another chance to say Obama never chaired a single subcommittee hearing “the only responsibility he was given” in the Senate, because as “he admitted in the last debate” that he “was too busy running for president.”
If Obama is to busy running for president to do his job in the Senate, how can anybody think he will do his job as President?
precisely!! Obama will say “I am too busy running for reelection to be bothered with the job of being president!”
He’ll have his “buffers” do the dirty work, like Michael Corleone in “The Godfather II”.
To take what catfish and jwrjr say and kick it up a notch, what I don’t understand is why she doesn’t hit harder or push back further on Obama on this. She has really treated him with kid gloves through out this campaign. Why not a TV ad about this for PA? Is that out of the question?
I did not watch all of it, but what I did see her questioning of Gen. David Petraeus this morning was spot on. Is it out of bounds to put any of this in a TV ad?
Something like this would go a long way to differentiate her expereince with Obama’s. I think. Am I wrong in this?
No probably not, but she’s had to be careful not to sink to the level of Obama.
Clinton, by example, is CHANGING the face of politics, not falling into the trap of conquer and divide, lie, and smear, the Bush/Rove/Obama method of futility that would be ultimately fatal to the US government.
Do you see?
She’s not a traitor, and she’s not Dick Morris, thank GOD…
bert you are spot on.
BUT - they did run an ad on this and that was the very ad that Markos of dailykos alleged had darkened Obama’s skin to make him look more black. The charge was baseless and absurd, but he repeated it enough.
That moment in the debate, in which Obama said he’d only been subcommittee chair “since the beginning of 2007, since the beginning of my campaign” and hence had called or held no hearings, was THE PRECISE MOMENT my mother “fell out of love” with Obama. After that, she started noticing many a flaw exhibited by The One.
Former First Lady & Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is a very intellectual, credible presidential candidate. Will the money machine of Obama control the people’s will to hire her to the highest level of government job, that of the president of the US.?
She is a fighter and a survivor !America needs her to
run the country.
God Bless America!!!
It’s amazing that Senator Clinton continues to find time to be a senator while still campaigning to be the next president of the United States, yet, BO has totally neglected his post as a senator. He’s “too busy running for President.”
It’s very helpful seeing Sen. Clinton on the same day, but in two such different venues. She knows exactly the right balance to assume with the media—where the approach is quick, lively, jumping around a lot—and an event as important as a Senate hearing. There, she is appropriate again, but quite different: thorough, thoughtful, respectful of people who—though she disagrees with them—may be doing their best under awful constraints and circumstances. She’s clearly Presidential, always!
Hillary was superb in the Fox interview especially; her reaction and answers to Obama’s infantile claims about his foreign experience were priceless and she hit a home run with his neglect of the FR subcomittee on Europe (Nato, Afghanistan, etc). She hit another home run was Obama’s nefarious add about the oil companies
(great she pointed out taking money from them has been illegal like forever) and that he voted for Cheney’s 2005 Energy bill.
I meant
“She hit another home run with Obama’s…”
above; sorry.
Is Obama drinking his own kool aid. He has no more foreign policy expierance than I do..
People are actually voting for this asshat. Will wonders never cease..
It’s hilarious that Obama can say he has more foreign policy knowledge and understands the world better than the other Pres candidates. First of all, he campaigns that by living in Indonesia at the tender age of 6 or 7 and lived there for 4 years gave him the experience and credential for foreign policy. Hello, at that age, the only thing you’re concerned with is playtime. He had trouble learning the Indonesian language and he wrote in his book, that he mastered it quickly. That’s bologne! Like BHO! He hasn’t had a single meeting in the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee he chairs. There’s lapse of judgment right there. So, by living in Indonesia the Islamic counties and non-Western countries will gravitate to him because he has more experience with foreign relations, just from the 4 years he lived in Indonesia!!! For crying out loud, how can he have more foreign relations experience at a young age? He was 6-10 years old! Obamacans, you need to lay off your Koolaid juice and get a reality check.
He hasn´t had a single meeting in the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on Europe (Nato, Afghanistan, etc)he chairs cause he is to busy running for president . Pardon? This is rediculous. Let´s face it I´m not keen of seeing such a blowhard negotiating with Chancellor Angela Merkel about such serious issues like Afghanistan.
