Full story: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0408/9531.htmlThe Clintons have made a $100-million fortune since leaving the White House, but a Politico analysis found that hasnt kept Bill Clinton from taking full advantage of the publicly funded perks offered to ex-presidents.
In fact, his presidential retirement benefits cost taxpayers almost as much as those of the other two living ex-presidents combined.
The price tag for Clintons federal retirement allowance from 2001 through the end of this year will run $8 million, compared to $5.5 million for George H. W. Bushs and $4 million for Jimmy Carters during the same period.
Since 2001, Clinton has received more of almost every benefit available to former presidents from his pension to his staffs salaries and benefits to supplies. His $420,000 phone bill and $3.2 million office rent tab both nearly surpassed the totals rung up for those purposes by Bush, Carter and the late former presidents Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan combined. As a group, they spent $484,000 on telephone service and $3.8 million on rent in the same span.

You all have a wonderful weekend....
Barack Obama is gaining steadily on Hillary Clinton among Democratic superdelegates, nearly erasing her last advantage in a presidential race where those party insiders could be the ultimate kingmakers.
In a danger sign for Clinton, Obama over the past few months has sharply cut her lead among superdelegates -- nearly 800 elected officials and party leaders free to back any candidate.
"Obama has won more delegates, he's won more votes, he's raised more money, and now you see it happening with superdelegates too,"
Despite heavy courting by Clinton, most of the superdelegates who made up their minds since January backed Obama. Clinton's superdelegate lead dwindled to about 30 from 100 in that time.
Link: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0408/9535.htmlFormer President Bill Clinton gave a passionate defense Thursday of his wifes claim about landing under sniper fire just as the damaging controversy was dying down.
Bill Clinton said the news media treated her like she had robbed a bank and claimed she was experiencing end-of-day fatigue, even though she had made the claim in morning speeches.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) acknowledged two weeks ago that she misspoke and made a mistake in her overly vivid account of the 1996 landing in Tuzla, Bosnia, during a goodwill mission as first lady.
Video of a tranquil arrival ceremony refuted the claim, and her comments hurt her struggling campaign by reviving questions about her candor.
Now, her husband has revived the issue by claiming the comments were true during a Solutions for America campaign event in at Boonville High School in Boonville, Ind

Juzi juzi wamemzomea Sheila Jackson Lee kwa vile tu anamuunga mkono Mama. McCain naye wakamzomea. Ustaarabu wao uko wapi hawa manyang'au?

"She is running around talking about how this is an insult to sportsmen, how she values the Second Amendment. She's talking like she's Annie Oakley," Obama said, invoking the famed female sharpshooter immortalized in the musical "Annie Get Your Gun."
He continued: "Hillary Clinton is out there like she's on the duck blind every Sunday. She's packing a six-shooter. Come on, she knows better. That's some politics being played by Hillary Clinton."
Clinton has told campaign audiences that she supports the rights of hunters. Saturday, she reminisced about learning to shoot on family vacations in Scranton, where her father grew up. She's also said she once shot a duck in Arkansas, where she served as first lady.
Nyani, usiniambie having babies is not punishment! Come on! Hivi una binti? Au una dada? Unafikiri kuzaa mtoto ukiwa 13 or 14 siyo punishment for early sexual activity? I think so! At that age the mother is also still a child, usilete siasa kwenye masuala binafsi. he was right, this is something that every parent considers. Hata Bongo, akina mama hushiriki katika kuwatoa mimba watoto wao walioko shule. Because this ruins their lives.
The problem with Obama is that he talks to everyone above 18 as if they were adults, the problem Hillary thinks that the electorate has low IQ and have to be told what to think. Same applies to the Rethugs! Lakini yatawashinda - you can fool some people some time, but you can't fool all the people all the time!
Umeona your favortie channel Fox walivyoshindwa! Walijaribu kwenda kuuliza watu in PA if they are bitter, following Obama's comments wakidhani watamponda, lakini cha ajabu watu wamemsupport Obama na kukubali they are bitter. Na wamesema even though some of them will vote for McCain but Obama was right. This shows that he was not elitist or condescending. Kibabu McCain ndo kabisaaa! Anasema Obama is out of touch, aliporushiwa mpira, kafyata mkia!
Sorry but I don't think any human being, regardless of how and when they were conceived, is "punishment". We are all a blessing and I don't compromise my morals for anything especially politics. Sorry buddy, you are wrong on this one.
I respect your point of view, and that is what is important. I think the problem comes when we are intolerant to each other's varying perspective. Mi binafsi si aprove abortion except in extreme cases and we can open a separate thread to debate that. However, I think that a woman's right to choose has to be there, she should be able to make that decision because it is 9 months from HER life and it is at the end of the day her responsibility.
If Obama deems that her little girls are not ready to be parents at 13, he has every right to do so. Lakini hajachemka. He was being honest, hakuleta siasa kwenye masuala haya. It is about moral and values just as much as it is to you whereas you oppose abortion. Lakini isn't that better kuliko angeanza kuleta imbaimba ya Mama - mara she supports Second Amendment kumbe alikuwa bonge moja la anti gun activist alipokuwa first lady! That is problematic.
I am not saying Obama is perfect but he is doing much more to be honest and straightforward kuliko Hillary who has been lying about Bosnia, about guns, about NAFTA and the list goes on.
