Chelsea and Oprah on the Same Day: Total Coincidence According to Clinton
December 08, 2007 9:11 PM
ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Sen. Clinton told reporters that Chelsea Clinton's debut was coincidental and had nothing to do with Oprah's appearance on the scene.
"We had planned for my mother to campaign with me at some point and for Chelsea also," the candidate said, "but we knew it would never happen before December because of all of the conflicting schedule needs and everything that everybody had. And it worked out that it was going be today and I'm thrilled to have them with me."
Clinton was also asked if she thinks celebrity endorsements matter.
"Everybody wants to have his or her supporters speak out and try to persuade voters to support whoever their candidate is, but at the end of the day it's a choice among those of us who are running," Clinton said. "I trust voters to make the decision about who they think will be the best candidate and who will be the best president."
Clinton was read Oprah's words from today when she said, "Experience in the hallways of government is far less important than overall experience on the pathway to life."
Clinton was asked if she agreed that life experiences were more important than experience in government.
"Well I think I am very fortunate because I have all of that. I have a lifetime of experience that goes back 35 years, I've actually made change."
Clinton spoke to reporters before heading to her next event, braving an ice storm. The motorcade has now stopped four times to de-ice windshields.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Chelsea and Oprah on the Same Day: Total Coincidence According to Clinton:
"Personally, I admire Mrs. Clinton for sticking to family values and not asking TV Talk Shows for support. I want to see a United States Government,with Mrs. Clinton as our presidnet,looking out for the American people. I want to see people like Bill gates, being involved in our trade deals. I want to see people like Donald Trump, sititng at the table when there's a govermentr meeting involving jobs and the economy. I want to see Wesley Clark, the most brilliant military man on the planet, restoring our defense posture and restoring our pride overseas. I want to see Bill Clinton as our "Roving Ambassador. I want to see America FIRST and second to none. That's why I'll vote for Senator Clinton to be President of the United States. OH, and I want to see TV celebrities keep to TV."

Nice job Hillary. You have shown once agin what true leadership really is. Your family values and political wisdom shine through in the midst of hollywood glitz and tinsel town carnivals. You see perhaps more than anyone else how serious this race and the next presidency really is. I admire your strength and courage. keep it up and dont stop until you reach the white house.

I am so glad and appreciate that Oprah said this:
Clinton was read Oprah's words from today when she said, "Experience in the hallways of government is far less important than overall experience on the pathway to life."
At least she recognized that fact Obama does not have such experienced. Anyway, all of us also know that. Clinton always ready to answer, and she really have everything that a President must have. Good answer Hillary.
"Well I think I am very fortunate because I have all of that. I have a lifetime of experience that goes back 35 years, I've actually made change."
Hillary is just been so bless. All she needs to do is present her dreams for the Americans. Hillary does not need a celebrity to have gather people to listen to her. People are there to see Oprah because she is a celebrity. Voters will vote for a President, not to be a President in a show biz. This is a real matter...running a country. She is a very tough woman. After learning more about her during her interviews about her childhood, no wonder she is a great woman, very tough and determined because of the values she got from her parents. I like the idea that you do also do what men do. That's how I grew up too. I am the youngest daughter, one brother older than me and three other brothers younger than me. I played with them, basketball, track and field, boxing. My mom told me that not because I was a girl, I could play with them and do what they do.
Hillary has proven her touyghness, intelligence and determination. Hillary has all the qualities of a President. People see that on her too. I am ready for our first woman President.

"Total Coincidence According to Clinton" -- Total BS.

"Please no more family dynasties - America needs change!"
America needs more than just random slogans about general change chanted by the obama crowd; typical with obama followers, because most don't even know what he stands for.
""Total Coincidence According to Clinton" -- Total BS."
Perhaps you need to argue some better issue rather than the reason the mother and daughter arrived on the campaign trail.

I for one is a great admirer of Oprah, I love her so much that I even stay late just to watch her show, a very smart, intelligent... all the quality of a woman wrapped in one, some may say that she is not so beautiful physically, but for me she is very very beautiful inside out.However, we are talking about the welfare of the country, wise decission must prevail and not the endorsement of anyone. We must stand according to our faith and not by what other people believed in.

hillary is a liar.... here in michigan she has worked with "the state party bosses", "to keep obama & edwards name off of the ballot"!!!!
she is desperate!!!!
her daughter & mother were used as "photo op's' for her slick azz...
meanwhile "slick wille". was "praisin jesus" & eatin "chicken wings" @ "black churches" in South Carolina, to try to "slow down" obama with "blacks in the south", who still live on "the mental plantation of fear of white oppresion"!!!!
i am an independent black voter & am "tired" of "the repukes" blatant
racism & "the demorats" bigotry!!!(the so called centrist of the party like bill & hillary)!!!!

For goodness sake people, I wish you would wash the muck out of your ears and sleep out of your eyes...from someone from ARK. we know the scoop on Hillary and believe me, I wouldn't want to be on the party with them, if you were, you may not be around if you did anything to cross them. Find out the truth before you wholeheartedly supported Clinton...wise up and find out the truth, not just surface stuff....
