Its official: the woman lies

Hillary Clinton's key pitch in her campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination has been that she has "experience".  Other than her botched attempt at Medicare reform which almost derailed her husband's first term it is hard to know what this experience is.  In recent weeks we have had her preposterous contention that she was instrumental in bringing peace to Northern Ireland. The problem is no one else involved in the process remembers her having any role other than visiting with Bill.  Now she has been exposed as telling porkies about a visit she and her daughter made to Bosnia. She talks of her experience of coming under sniper fire and running over the runway to her car.  The problem is that it is totally untrue.  Television crews from CBS were with her during the trip 12 years ago.  They have a fantastic 2min segment on the story HERE.   It’s well worth watching. So either Ms Clinton has serious memory problems or she is a complete liar.  Either way not good characteristics for a potential President of the United States.

I'm not exactly delighted by the amount of Obama love I seem to be seeing around these parts, but this woman deserves to be destroyed by him. She's got to that stage where she's just saying anything to make herself look more impressive - even total tosh.

Go McCain for the election, however!

David,

but this woman deserves to be destroyed by him

Be careful of what you wish for. I'd rather Clinton and Obama destroy each other slowly over the next four months.

As I see it on the recent 'lies' front its now a 1-1 draw (Obama lied over Pastorgate until he was forced to come clean because virtually nobody believed him).

It is well known that the Clinton's have a detached relationship with the truth but through Pastorgate, Obama shows that he is not so keen on it either when it suits him.

Mmmm - " Just Words "

Obama effectively destroyed the core message of his campaign. His judgement is flawed and he has proved he is not past playing old style politics when it suits him (so much for a new type of politics)and so not much change there then.

Can either be considered Presidential material?

I agree on the most important point though. McCain is by far the best of the candidates remaining.....

Fair point, John. I just find Clinton to be both nasty and delusional; just about the worst combination in my book.

It'll be interesting to see if the Democratic Party does rip itself to pieces over this. Obviously that'd hand things to McCain. But what I also dislike is the arrogance of (a lot of, not all) Democratic supporters who really believe that whoever wins their nomination is going to waltz right into the White House. The latest poll put McCain 7pts ahead of Clinton, and 9pts ahead of Obama in a hypothetical election.

Conor,I think I'd go for the liar option.
