When we Democrats are fighting for our candidate in the upcoming general election, we will be referring to the relative success of Bill Clinton's administration as opposed to the general failure of George W. Bush's administration, won't we? Let us then agree that the phrase 'Clinton machine' is code for a Republican commentator trying to pave the way for a Democrat candidate failure!
Calling all Democrats and all sympathetic Independents, no matter whether you support Mr. Obama or Mrs. Clinton at this point in time, let's remember that our real goal is to restore the United States economic health and its civil liberties.
The Republicans thought they were leading us in the right direction, but they have failed, now it is time for a Democratic Congress and Democratic President to lead us back to the prosperity we enjoyed during the Clinton era.
'Clinton machine' indeed!

Another photo op, this time to shore up the impression that she and Bill are in another rough patch for all those twofer supporters. How niiiiiiiiice.

JB-Don't feel sad for me-I a woman that supports Barack Obama, because I am voting for the best person to lead this country. The race and gender of the person is irrelevant.
I don't understand women that are voting for Clinton simply because she is a woman. Isn't that exactly what the good old boys that built the glass ceiling do? Hire lesser qualified men because they have the "correct plumbing"? My vote is based strictly on who will move this country forward. Taking lobbyist money and promising to deal with them is not moving forward.
When a woman runs for president who is not trying to run on her husband's accomplishments, who has the ability to inspire and lead like Obama--who brings the passion of her politics to the country and engages people to vote--she will have my vote.

Hillary, don't listen to the Obamanations!
You are awesome! Women everywhere across this country love you, support you & we'll keep working for you because you've kept the faith and made REAL CHANGES in REAL American's lives.
Whether it's healthcare that's a PLAN not a promise where people take responsibility for their health (as opposed to Obama's entitlement plan--because those have worked so well???) Getting our troops the armor they needed, extending combat pay to injured soldiers & getting healthcare for the National Guard, keeping the 'morning after pill' safe, legal and over the counter. You've done it baby.
RESULTS, not RHETORIC.
YOU GO GIRL. WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK.

I don't think we could muster anymore anger and negativity than you have lady. Get a grip. What the Clinton's did in the 90s was great for this country and what do you want here, what is best for the country. Her husband is her husband, you want change and yet you are still on "look at what Bill did" NEWS FLASH: Both candidates want the job. Leave the past in the past. A women in office IS CHANGE. I am a women also.

I grew up in Ohio -- when I heard that Hillary went there and tried to whip up a frenzy of support I felt ill. Please, Ohio, don't fall for it! She will tell you ANYTHING you want to hear so she can get elected. It's bizarre that she puts down Obama's talking ability and talks all about her "experience" and "solution." She is a bigger windbag than he is!! The onlye experience she can point to is tied up with her president husband. She is shrill, angry and desperate -- not because she cares about us, the middle class, but because she is upset and angry that she is losing support! She is yelling at us to vote for her! She is telling us that she has solutions and experience -- NOT ANY MORE THAN OBAMA DOES! She doesn't have the abiity to inspire us -- Voting for her would be bringing back the same old Clinton machine from the 1990's. She can't manage her campaign and she can't manage her husband -- what makes anyone think she can manage a country?? Don't fall for it OHIO!!!!

I think it is alot sweeter that Obama went home to spend Valentine's day with his wife and girls.
Not everything in life is a photo op unless you are a Clinton.

Sometimes I feel sad for all those women who help support Obama and bash Hilary. They first forget there is a best qaulified female candiate in this race who has fought so hard, for all her life for your health care, your children's benefit, your woman's right, in a male-dominated politcial arena. You are part of it as a woman! If you cann't do it, at least support of your kind. We need more female politicans so Hill wont feel lonely!

Does anyone else feel slightly uncomfortable with Sen. Clinton taking the "stewardess" role - passing around cobbler, handing out chocolates, etc. I *guess* one is supposed to feel warm and fuzzy and think about mom being in charge or something .... but it makes me feel sort of squirmy or something. I really want a president who will lead, not 'serve' (literally).

When issues like this come up, I'm sure Hillary thinks twice about going to the White House because how will she be sur ewhat Bill is up to in the Lincoln or whatever room while she's in teh Oval office taking care of our business eh?
Anyway I think they are human just like the rest of us and deserve a break such as this photo-op gave her.
It was touching
Go America. Obama 2008

Does anyone have a tissue?
That was just ever so touching...I mean the way she talked about her and Bill's past Valentine Days. I bet that was just exactly what the press corps assigned to her wanted to hear.
Glad I could spend Valentines Day with my sweetie and not listen to her rememinise about her and Slick Willey. It must have been hard for Bill to work her in with all the others. Talk about multi-tasking.
Oh well, I better find those tissues. I feel another tearful, heartfelt Hillary moment coming up.
