Clinton: Bring Your Mops, Vacuum Cleaners and Brushes
November 05, 2007 12:48 AM
ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Not only is Senator Clinton comfortable in the kitchen, she wants you to bring your mops, vacuum cleaners and brushes when she gets to the White House.
Clinton speaking in West Burlington, IA, told a story about how she is going to clean up the White House. Telling it, Clinton rested her hand on her head and said "oh my goodness I feel like we are going to get into the White House again and we are going to walk around and say where do we start to clean up this mess?" Clinton remembered an audience member who shouted once out when she told this story before - "that's what women are good at cleaning up the mess." Clinton said "bring your vacum cleaners bring your brushes bring your brooms bring your mops."
The Senator from New York said she is "excited to be the first woman president," and that the campaign has started tracking the women in their 90's who come to her campaign events "there's a lot of them."
Senator Clinton, whose campaign was critisized for playing up her gender, and for trying to make the point that the recent debate was a six men vs one woman match-up, has no problem speaking to the women in her audience on the trail in Iowa.
Clinton told a story about a New York soap-maker who she had connected with ebay. She explained that Oprah ordered 40,000 dollars worth of soap. The woman "recruited everybody in her family her friends her church they were all at her house for weeks you know stirring and pouring into molds."
Clinton spoke to the women and men in Iowa about various issues from the war in Iraq to Healthcare. One thing Clinton did not think we should be talking about is the recent debate. "I'm going to keep running a positive campaign because I think what we need to be talking about is what we are going to do on day one in the White House not what we are going do on a debate stage somewhere."

This woman doesn't have a clue.
She doesn't care about cleaning anything, she just cares about having the power, she has no real answers, or truthful answers to any questions about serious issues concerning our great country. She is trying to pull a socialist sham and a scam over the American people.

Who does Hillary think she is kidding? I'd sooner believe Bill's done more housekeeping than this ersatz 'happy-homemaker Hillary...

I would love to know the last time she EVER picked up a mop or dust rag.
Don't go away mad, just go away!

When Clinton fails to prevail on the issues, she falls back on her gender. She couldn't answer simple questions in last week's debate, so she goes before a friendly female audience and promises she'll "clean up" the Whitehouse with her mop and broom. The last time she occupied the Whitehouse, things got pretty dirty in there: Bill's sex addiction; Vince Foster's suicide; the Rose Law Firm billing records, among other embarassments.

The only thing the Clinton's are good at is cleaning out places. I wonder if she would bring back all the things they stole if she won? Then again, those things can be replaced but America's soul can't so let's keep her out of the White House!

Hillary will clean up the White House using products made in China. Then she'll invite the Chinese for tea, and have the Chinese generals sleep over in the Lincoln-Mao Bedroom.

Hillary's "plagiraized" remark about bringing your mops is actually from George W. Bush's statement before he entered the White House after 8 years of the Clintons disgusting residency. In an off cuff remark "W" was referring to Hillary's "HUSBAND", Bill the pervert sexual exploits in the White House. Who needs 4 more years of that disgusting behaviour? These people are TRASH!

The Senator from New York said she is "excited to be the first woman president," Very Conceded by this democratic potential candinate, and I would like to re-iterate the word POTENTIAL. I am not imposed of the notion of a Women President, one of my favorite leaders of all-time is a women (Margret Thatcher). But I am opposed of an anti-military, pro-spending politicians. Our country is closing in on a 10 trillion dollar federal deficit, mostly held by China. Clinton is not the answer.

Hillary needs to clean out her mind--she should stick to being the missing senator from New York and join her discarded"friend" Hsu in a jail cell somewhere in Colorado. Perhaps she could organize her cellmates who are of like mind. Cheat lie steal and kill to get ahead.

Hillary should be ashamed of talking about cleaning the White house. .Remember it was the rug in the oval office that had to be cleaned after BILL Clinton and Monica.

I think Hill has a harder climb to the presidency then she thinks. I wouldn't vote for her if you put a gun to my head, and if she thinks this past debate was bad, I cannot wait to see her in the general election debates. Thats when the mop will be needed, to wipe her off the floor.

Her comments are again silly but placate her base and actually say nothing. Do her comments remind you of Chavez, the dictator of Venezuela, at the U.N. Apt that Clinton would borrow from such trash.

Dear ABC- even in America this is a misspelling:
"Senator Clinton, whose campaign was critisized for playing up her gender"

As a woman, and an educated one at tha, from Cali, I will NEVER EVER vote for this "woman". I have 4 sisters and not one will vote for her either. We can't stand this lying commie. Of course all her crooed donnors are Chinese commies, she is one of them, a commie through and through. All I know is, release all the records from BJ's presidency re" hill, allow Sandy Burglar to take the lie detectro test about the docs he "accidetally" stuffed down his pants, and while we are at it, WILL YOU Hill take a lie detector test about the Chinese donors, white water, your rose law firm billing recrds campaign donations to BJ's campaign y Oxidental Petrolium, Vince Foster, your sexuality, your tre agenda? I doubt it. THis woman will say NO to you and I know many others will too. Adios panderer. No amountof illegal voters will get you elected.

Wow, I was ready to write off Hills comments as the standard barf we hear from all pols on the campaign trail and let it go at that. Both dems and repubs constantly make silly statements like these, and they are treated like water off a ducks back. Normally the dems support the dems when the make silly statements, and same for the repubs. But that does not seem to be the case here. Not a single post supporting Hill. Looks like the worm has turned.

Hillary has one skill; and that is being the enforcer who has kept Bill's bimbos quiet and in check. The sad part of Hillary's quest for the presidency is that Bill has had to stop dating again. Those who loved Nixon's enemys list will surely love the Hillary presidency.
Posted by: Jim M | Nov 5, 2007 8:56:45 AM
Not a single woman I know, republican, democrat or independant would vote for Hilary. I don't know who this supposed female base is?
She does have nerve talking about "cleaning" the White House. I'm sure Monica and Bill were in every room.....
