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."

There is a certain point where you will have to fight for your freedom. It will be hard and cause much sorrow in your life. The bottom line is if you don't fight then you'll have to live with tyranny.

I seem to recall Hillery's past comments about how she never spent much time cooking because she "decided to do something with my life rather than spend it baking cookies." She is a shameless fraud and liar and the people today are so stupid that they will buy her line and millions of single women who have never voted before will register and vote for her simply because of her gender.

Clean Up? Didn't the Clintons and their staff trash the place when they left? Like pulling the W's off the keyboards and graffiti on the walls and things like that?

There is no way the American public will vote these two trailer trash back into our White House. Just go away, Clintons.

She is just a decoy for the dumb GOP to focus on. Watch.

I don't want to add to all the mud slinging. All I want to know is how Hillary expects to be able to play both sides of the gender issue. One one side she is proud to be considered as our nation's first truly legitimate contender for the White House. She is ready to show she can play tough and make the hard decisions necessary to govern the country. She wants voters to see her as confident and compotent. But when the male democratic contenders start to assail her as the front-runner then she hoists the flag of gender-discrimination and play the poor victim of their mean-spirited attacks.
No, she cannot be allowed to have it both ways. I wish the media would hold her to task. If she is strong enough to be president she should be strong enough to endure a spirited debate leading up to the primaries.
I am personally afriad of her presidency. She changes her opinion on issues too quickly, much the same way Bill did. I don't want a President that needs to take a poll on a subject to know what to do. I want vision and conviction that can lead us forward. The next president will have his/her hands full domesitcally and overseas. I am hoping that the Congress and White House will not be under one party's leadership. I think that scenario has almost always proven disasterous for our country. We need checks and balances.
Hillary, either stand up and run hard on your convictions convincing us that your vision for the USA is best or sit down and quietly assume the life of someone who used to be important. Tell us who you are and what you believe to be the best course for our country. Right now you just seemt to confused, disoriented, and weak and these characteristics have NOTHING to do with your being a woman.

Bill was the best President we have seen in a long time. Damn! He handed shrub a fat surplus.
Shrub is spending like a little girl in the candy store, yes there is a mess, not sure how to clean it up. Taxes will be increased from all W's spending that is for sure. Thanks Dick and W.

It is difficult to understand where many of the critics of Hillary are coming from. The last I checked this country was fiscally sound, in fact with a surplus, during the last Clinton administration and business was good, as were foreign relations. Now, we have the polar opposite, swimming in debts, a swooning dollar, and foreign relations around the world that have been reduced to ashes. Put on your thinking cap before you spout off with negative comparisons about another Clinton in the White House in contrast to what we now have. Your comments are childish and radically misinformed.

The comments here give me reason to hope for our future. Our freedom is at stake. Socialist will micro manage every part of your life. The opposite of freedom.
Posted by: Dave R | Nov 5, 2007 9:26:47 AM
If anyone has any doubt that Hillary is a socialist, all you need to do is Google "Hillary Clinton and Saul Alinsky". Saul Alinsky is Senator Clinton's hero and role model. He has written a couple of books on the subject of overthrowing American democracy. Good reading if you're into horror stories.

The really sad thing is that the Democrats that did not tow the line for her if see pulls it off will be sent to the reeducation camps before I will. I only pray that her campain turns into political roadkill it deserves to be. Do you really believe Bill will be able to keep his pants up with all that free time on his hands?

Anyone who cares about America should watch Hannity's America on Sunday nights, especially 2 weeks from now. Then Americans should give her mop and brooms and stuff like that so she can join her poor donors in china town who gave her half of their yearly salaries to her campaign because she did so much during 9-11!!! What did Hillary do during 9-11, all we heard was Rudy and President Bush and the firefighters!!

FACT: The Clintons literally stole and vandalized the White House. They had to return items and were fined thousands of dollars in damages. Vandals. Whatever Hillary says, the truth is always 180

Did ABC News' Eloise Harper even grasp the irony of Senator Clinton’s comment about cleaning up the White House as she typed those very words?
Is there no end to liberal media bias?
Ms. Harper was seriously remiss in her duties as a reporter as she failed to point out that the current Bush administration made similar comments.
I suspect that the omission was intentional as part of Ms. Harper’s biased efforts to portray Senator Clinton as some sort of reformer and portray the Bush Administration as "not clean."
President Clinton’s personal dalliances aside, his administration failed to address the threat from al Qaeda and he receives a pass from the media. President Clinton’s unresolved messes resulted in the September 11 Terror Attacks. Cleaning up the messes from President Clinton’s administration has required a significant military response – one pound of cure instead of the one once of prevention President Clinton should have applied.
If Senator Clinton wants to clean-up anything, she should feel free to travel to Ground Zero and pick up some cleaning tools. I think there are still some blood stains on some of the sidewalks.

The only people who vote for this harridan would be the super rich who can send their money out of the country, can buy good health care, and like to get the "feel good" of supporting the children! The other group is the poor, who don't pay any taxes and get all of the benefits, regardless. I can't imagine anyone in the middle-class voting for this horrid person. You want your taxes raised, you health care destroyed, your money given to someone for the "common good?" Go ahead and let this evil creature get a hold of the white house. She will turn it red.
Posted by: Fred | Nov 5, 2007 9:42:35 AM
I really don't know how to post comment, but I am so upset at Clintons slam at Laura Bush I could just cry! This dame is insane with her lust for power! Shame on anyone who would back her for Commander- in chief! I hope she gets hammered for her lies and no one gives her another inch of wiggle room!! Sue, upnorth Wis.

Only an uninformed moron would vote for Hillary
Posted by: Robert | Nov 5, 2007 9:43:40 AM
she will need all the mops and brooms she can get to clean up all the broken computers, graffitti, damaged walls, damaged furniture etc, her and her vicious minions left at the white house upon leaving!!!
Posted by: watchdog | Nov 5, 2007 9:43:40 AM
Hillary Clinton is a hopeless boor who cannot avoid lying. I am stunningly amazed that any American who is in the know can realistically support this political pervert. When I hear liberals trying to make arguments for her, I just want to puke at the ignorance displayed. We need to fear Hillary, and pray for this magnificent country. Pray that it does not elect Hillary Clinton to the presidency.

FACT: Clintons were fined for vandalism and stealing from the White House.
This is an undeniable fact.
Media is in the tank for her
