I'll be going to a Clinton rally tomorrow....suggestions for a question to ask?

[Seen the light]

Bill Clinton will speaking at UNC Charlotte tomorrow and there's always the possibility that I'll be able to ask him a question (not sure how Clinton events work). What should I ask him?

Don't give me questions that might get me tazed though. :D

Try to be serious though. I'd like to ask a question that he would give an interesting answer to that might be newsworthy.

[NDambi]

1. Ask him..

Why would your wife go on Fox News and not MSNBC College Tour or Larry King Live, and why would she sit down with Sciafe, of all people?

[ericgtr]

11. This is an excellent question - Seconded

How can she pass up all the free publicity when her campaign is broke like this?

[LakeSamish706]

17. Yep, I'm with you on these questions as well... Excellent. n/t

[jakem]

38. oops. wrong place...

[jenmito]

40. delete-wrong place

[SeaLyons]

45. Yes, good questions...

and I'm sure Bill will have real GOOD answer. One that is obvious.

[tokenlib]

2. What's Hillary's bowling average???

I think they should go bowling to defuse tensions. Does it matter that Hillary is a way better bowler? I think it would be a fun event full of laughs.

[Texas Hill Country]

8. actually, she is really good from what i understand.

[SeaLyons]

48. She could be a poor bowler

and still beat Obama!!

:rofl:

[Bucky]

53. Hey, that's not fair!

My guy was high on pot and Kool Aid when that happened. I'll bet next time he breaks into triple digits!

[GarbagemanLB]

3. nm

[Muttocracy]

4. what are his suggestions for reforming primaries and campaign finance? nt

[Deep13]

5. What's a president got to do to get impeached around here?

Yah know what? Never mind. I remember now.

[lisa58]

14. That's a good one....lol

[Deep13]

32. I almost asked HC that, but had a chance to think it through...

...before I got to the head of the line.

[lisa58]

52. You would have made the news if you had.

[Whisp]

6. ask him why Hillary and Chelsea both misremembered the sniper story

the same way.

that ought to get you tazed. ;)

[DearAbby]

16. lol look beneath you

we had the same question :) GMTA

Gooch, I guess I owe you a coke.

[Whisp]

28. haha! :)

:toast:

[Deep13]

34. I don't think they do. I think they are thinking of a different time. nt

[DearAbby]

7. Ask him

Why Chelsea's memory is just as faulty as Momma's was, regarding the Tuzla sniper story, was she sleep deprived too?

[Marrah_G]

9. Boxers or Briefs???? ...........oh wait......

[olkaz]

10. You will not be able to ask a question.

Unless you are a plant. Are you?

If you somehow kidnap and dress up as the plant, then ask this:

What would a Hillary presidency do for the the Branch Davidians?

[LakeSamish706]

12. I know that your not going to ask this, but a question that I have is Bill undergoing...

serious stress problems right now to the point of perhaps needing Antidepressants? He sure seems to be over the top right now. I do actually hope that he is ok, but he has to get a handle on things and settle down.

[peace13]

21. My question would be ...

Do you do yoga if not have you ever considered it? Peace, Kim

[hedgehog]

73. Off-topic, but anti-depressants are not tranquillizers. President Clinton

appears to have anger management issues which might be best addressed with counseling.

[DJ13]

13. Have you ever considered what you'll do after Obama wins the nomination?

:nuke:

[Zachstar]

15. What is her views on the Direct Launcher?

http://www.directlauncher.com/

If she is so hip with grassroots movements. She ought to know what this is.

[SoonerPride]

20. She'll say "do you mean M, Med, Medved, Medvedieve, Chicken Kiev?"

or not

[NDambi]

31. lol..don't forget the "whatever"

[Whisp]

18. ask about the rumors of Clinton campaign having money troubles

let him commit on camera and we'll see how truthful he was when the numbers come out on the 20th.

[SoonerPride]

22. Identify yourself as a printer in Iowa and ask him if he can pay his tab.

snark

[Whisp]

24. zing! I like that one, I really really like it. Hopefully someone will do that soon. nt

[izzybeans]

19. Any second thoughts on the Extraordinary Rendition Program? Rwanda? NAFTA?

etc.

[Whisp]

23. great questions, sad that it's almost a joke that we know

these kinds of questions would never be allowed.

[izzybeans]

27. It's almost like we never lived through the 90's.

Bush allows us to look back with Rose colored glasses. He's that f'ing bad.

Someone could slip a few past if they claimed to be asking a question about one of the latest fad non-issue "electability" questions.

[eleny]

25. What is the strategy for Hillary prevailing over Giulliani in the next NY senate race?

Is she considering running for NY State governor should Patterson step down?

I would support her in either race even though I don't support her in the current race for the nomination. Governor seems like a logical next step should she not prevail in the nomination for president. I think Giulianni will run for senate and governor and he would be a disaster for NY. I'd support her financially even though I no longer live in NY.

[juajen]

33. Yes, indeedy, let's do keep her in her place.

NT

[eleny]

42. My questions were serious and sincere

But since you need to find snark, I'll give you some right now.

Avast! Walk the plank to my Ignore list. There you go, matey, Arrrrr.... http://www.mediacollege.com/downloads/sound-effects/water/splash-04.wav

[Muttocracy]

43. why is the low-experience non-New Yorker best for those?

If we're going for a dynasty family candidate, Andrew Cuomo is more qualified in NY. Or why not Schumer? Or all our Reps and many in the state legislature??

[eleny]

56. I have a problem with Schumer

This is why - I'm just about finished reading Gasparino's book Blood on the Street about the history of the dot com bubble bursting. If he's right, Schumer was very willing to go along with not regulating Wall Street firms even though there was lots of smoke indicating disaster for small investors. Schumer was way more concerned with keeping big donors happy than protecting the "ordinary" American. So right now I've soured on him considerably. and I'm surprised that he got away with his behavior.

Didn't Cuomo have a really rough time when he ran for governor? I recall that it got pretty bad and he withdrew his name for the nomination. If that's so, he might have a hard time with a new bid.

But I see your point. It's just that Clinton has the support of New Yorkers enough to win the senate election. And a well known candidate would be needed against Giulliani as he is so well known in the state. She seems like a natural for either position. And she really is a New Yorker now - as much as anyone who moves there. I'm a native New Yorker (in Colorado now) and I guess I'm open to all those who go to live elsewhere for whatever reason.

Thanks for your thoughts since they made me think harder about my own position on this.

[Muttocracy]

57. I'm no Schumer fan. But HRC won because she was the dem nominee

NY is a Democratic state but that doesn't mean HRC is the best qualified Dem in the state.

I read a while back that they paid off their DC house, not their NY mortgage, so I wonder how long they'll stay in NY.

[eleny]

62. About their staying in NY

I was wondering about that, too, as I was typing my last response to you. I know I moved away back in 1976 - mostly for employment reasons. But if I were in politics and a senator for NY in Congress I'd keep my butt in NY for life. To me it's such political prestige to be representing NY. (Much of my heart is still there) So they'd be nuts to leave. Frankly, I expected Bill to run for governor at some point.

I don't know who else in NY has such a high profile that they could beat Giulliani handily. Rangel is well known but chairing Ways and Means is a very powerful position. It looks like it's going to be his for the rest of his career. Whatever happens in those races it's going to be very interesting.

Btw, nice chatting with you!

[Muttocracy]

63. I get overly cranky about it

I'm just old-fashioned about people working their way I guess (I'm a Bidenite after all!) :)

[eleny]

67. Oh! I missed your avatar

Hmmm, Biden also get bad marks from me, although I've cheered him on many times. His vote for the banking and credit card industry being allowed to get over on card holders makes me cranky. ;)

[backscatter712]

29. Was that little girl with the poem in Tuzla a sniper? n/t

[TomBall Democrat]

30. Ask him why the Cayman Island link? nt

[Lucky 13]

35. Why has he turned into a bitter angry lunatic?

[juajen]

36. I would like to know if discussions on how to deal with the "shadow government"

have been held. I know this would be top secret, but, my God, isn't this ever going to be addressed. Also, what Hillary would do about the out of control Dept. of Defense budget?

[CK_John]

37. Ask him, if he will be the next NY Senator when Hillary is elected. n/t

[Muttocracy]

46. will Laura Bush run against him? They should be shopping for real estate soon. nt

[CK_John]

69. Not a NY resident. n/t

[JPZenger]

39. Why won't you release all of your tax returns?

The Clintons released their tax returns when he was president. She said she would release this year's sometime in April. What about years 2001 to 2006, which were Bill's prime years of making money from overseas interests?

[jakem]

41. bring the Gong!

[PoliticalAmazon]

44. "How much money have you and HRC made from sending American jobs to India?" n/t

[jenmito]

47. "Why hasn't Hillary released her 2000-2006 tax returns yet?"

[jenmito]

49. "How do you feel now that Obama won TX according to your own standards?"

[grassfed]

50. Ask Hillary Clinton to explain her votes

I realize I'm a broken record on these votes, but they represent non-negotiable core Democratic values.

Hillary Clinton
NO on Amendment No. 4882 that would have banned the use of cluster bombs in civilian areas.
YES on Bankruptcy bill (S.256) which stripped protections for people in debt.
YES on Kyle/Lieberman bill that sets the stage for the US to take military action against Iran.
YES on the Iraq War Resolution.
Hillary refused to sign the AFC Anti-Torture Pledge

McCain
NO on Amendment No. 4882 that would have banned the use of cluster bombs in civilian areas.
YES on Bankruptcy bill (S.256) which stripped protections for people in debt.
YES on Kyle/Lieberman bill that sets the stage for the US to take military action against Iran.
YES on the Iraq War Resolution.
McCain refused to sign the AFC Anti-Torture Pledge

However, on the 1996 Telecomm Act (aka media consolidation act, attn Rupert Murdoch) they part ways.
Clinton camp:
Signed into law

McCain:
Voted AGAINST it (along with Wellstone, Feingold, Simon, and Leahy)

She'll reply with her trademark vulgar spin, but try if you get a chance. People need to know that she's just another PNAC soldier.

[easy_b94]

51. Suggestion??? Bring a couple of Ice cold drinks because......

[quantass]

58. ASK: "In terms of money troubles i fear that in WH this gross mismanagement will continue..how do yo

[elehhhhna]

59. 1) How's that tax return coming? 2) SO how much do you have stashed offshore?

3) Did you really lobby for Dubai re: the Ports deal?

[elehhhhna]

[mudesi]

64. Question: Why do you want McCain to win? (nm)

[Vinca]

65. Ask him how they would address the questions Chelsea

has been asked if they make it to the general election.

[BlueIdaho]

66. ask him to go bat shit crazy so you can film it.

Kinda like he did with the California Superdeligates - that would be fun to watch!

[Mimosa]

68. This topic is a MUST READ! LOL

[kevinmc]
