Hillary Clinton has promised to be a champion for regular US citizens as she kicked off a long-awaited second run for the White House as the commanding Democratic front runner. Clinton, who lost a bruising Democratic nominating battle to Barack Obama in 2008, was expected to travel soon to Iowa, the state that holds the kickoff nominating contest in early 2016.

    @1. Isn't that libel? Or are you just expressing a personal 'view'? In any judicial system where accused people are entitled to a defence lawyer, wouldn't every defence lawyer be 'championing' virtually every crime in the book?

    @1, 6. But, bent, non-working dick for a brain, shall we go back through your 'existence' and identify all the things that you 'had' to do so that you could eat? I don't expect a latam to understand this but, in the northern hemisphere, there are things called 'principles'. Shall I express the latam concept of 'principles'? It's 'ME, ME, ME'. It's why latams are nearly a century behind the rest of the human race. Provably sub-human, because you've just proved it.

    I've met a number of SoAms. Transexuals, drug smugglers, liars, thieves, criminals. All the same.

    But wait! Marco Rubio, a “a telegenic rising star with appeal to conservative and establishment Republicans” according to USA Today has announced his running on the Republican side. (Only he is of Cuban origin....mmm...I don't know. He may be a Castrist in disguise trying to infiltrate the establishment)...hard to say!

She's supposed to be a raving B*tch in person and completely untrustworthy. But that's all Dems. Liars to the core as long as it moves their agenda.
    Although I must admit anyone is better than Odumbo.

    I don't mind Rubio but he should run as a VP not Prez. We don't need another 1 term Senator who's never run anything trying to do the hardest job in the world again.

    13 YB
    President Barack Obama a “Corrupt and worst Prez” Nonsense that even you don't believe.
    If something can be blamed of Obama is to have tried to achieve some form of consensus to improve things. However, as experience has demonstrated and CFK understands well, there is no negotiation to be had with the henchmen of the corporate world, war mongers and progress-haters. They must be defeated using democratic means. For instance, Obama should have gone for the whole thing on health care: an entirely new, single-payer health care just like Canada has, in which everybody puts a bit and those in need get the care they need without sleepless nights wondering how to pay. (Medical corporations be damned).
    However, for all his weaknesses, Obama achieved the supreme humiliation of hardcore racists (YB for instance) by being elected for two consecutive terms, and saved his country from falling under another catastrophic Republican mandate.

    Hilary Clinton: highly intelligent, extremely hard working and ambitious, perhaps even ruthlessly so, but after her ridiculous claim to have braved sniper fire arriving at Sarajevo, followed by the US political explanation du jour “I mispoke” - I lost all respect for her.

    Yeah, I don't think Hilary has got the broad appeal ( see what I did there?) to win the election.

    But I have to agree with Enrique @9 when he says,

    “#1...#3...etc.
    Instead of criticizing Hillary, why don't you say you don't care about Democrats and want the most possible conservative to win the next election in the U.S.? ”

    And you surely can't be serious when you say Obama is “Corrupt and worst Prez...“ etc.??

    Barack is just not bound to the same Interest Groups as the Republicans.

    This disrespectful partisan demonising rhetoric is so damaging to your democratic process. It makes me worry for the U.S.

    Calling Hillary ”the Clit”, is exactly the vile lack of respect I'm talking about.

    The pendulum is about to swing back the other way now.
    I hope the Republicans have something better to offer than the likes of Palin or Romney.

    @14 Enrique

    Obama's Healthcare plan was never implemented the way he intended it.
    He was cut off at the knees by special interest groups wanting exceptions.

    The compromises he was forced to accept, have made his plan almost unviable.

    It was a most noble effort though.

    Why don't Canadians understand the USA doesn't want Gov't run healthcare? You're system sucks. RICH Canadians come to the USA for operations. I've never heard of any USA folks going to Canada for operations. Not one time.

    And I definitely believe Odumbo is the Most Corrupt and Worst Prez in the last 100 yrs. I think it will take a generation to fix the problems he's caused the world. Just like Carter.

    Its not that I hate the Dems but most of them are liars and corrupted. Lies matter not as long as they advance their hateful agenda. They imagine issues, the liberal news runs with it and then all of a sudden its a national problem until people examine the facts and get tired of their ranting then they are onto the next. They always forget they are the minority, most of the USA is middle/conservative has been for a very long time and if anything has become more so under the Odumbo Regime.

    They are only opinions.

    Johnson deepened us in Indochina. Though Eisenhower accepted the the handoff from the French. His problem was allowing Civilians to fight it. Nixon.....what can one say about Nixon. He would have been impeached and tossed out of office dispute some good things he did, he did exceed his constitutional authority.....and started shit in SA. Ford was our only none elected president....hand picked. two years of tripping over his own feet. Carter wanted to be the intellectual president and started destroying my military. He would have been a hero if our helos could operate in sand conditions of the dessert. Reagan was a great leader.......a leader inspires people. He raised taxes to thought the GOP forgets. He also understood what compromise meant. Bush 41 was a good president .....I liked him. His own party took him down. He dedicated his life to serving his country from WWII to the presidency. Probably an average president. Clinton like Reagan was a leader and the GOP hated him because the public loved him.

    9/11 America will never be the same, sadly. Bush won under the strangest conditions and SCOTUS claimed that ruling was not allowed to be a precedent.......go figure....and why? The began the era of the crayon president. Dr Evil aka Cheney ran the country with his hand up Bush's ass like some trolls here. In his second term he took more control of himself and Chenny resented......especially when he refused to pardon Libby, Chenney's CoS who dr evil allowed to take the fall for outing a CIA operative to the NYT. Enter the first Black man to become POTUS much to the disgust of the GOP. He has been an utter failure much to the chagrin of the GOP (great obstacle pricks).

    I would like to see a woman in office but not at the expense of former over function as the past two failed presidencies. For Democrats she is the only one who could get main stream votes in the general election. Republicans have the same issues with candidates in the general. Bush is probably the only one on that side. The Republicans will be spending so much time showing their party and bag men they are far right....coming back in the general will be tough. The problem with the GOP is that they need both the rich man for the greenbacks and the poor man for the vote. The 2nd amendment and religion hugging makes That doable.
