Hillary’s Leadership Experience

Who better to help Hillary solve our home lending crisis than a person who sits on the board of a bankrupt lender?
WASHINGTON – Hillary Clinton spends considerable time on the campaign trail bemoaning unscrupulous lenders who have left millions of Americans scrambling to keep their homes but all the while her campaign manager, Margaret “Maggie” Williams, has sat on the board of one of the nation’s once-largest and now-bankrupt sub-prime mortgage lenders.
Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson told FOXNews.com late Sunday that Williams, a longtime Clinton ally, didn’t join Clinton’s Democratic presidential campaign as a volunteer until after Delta Financial Corporation — for which Williams is a director — went bankrupt in December 2007.
That’s more than seven years after Williams joined New York-based Delta Financial in 2000. She became a director one month after a federal settlement was reached with the lender over discriminatory lending practices. More recently, Delta has been accused by consumer advocates of pursuing predatory practices throughout the housing boom and bust.
As of September 2007, Williams owned 12,500 shares of Delta’s common stock, and by 2007 had earned at least $175,000 for her board obligations, according to company filings available in the Securities & Exchange Commission online database.
I guess nobody at Clinton, Inc thought to ask, huh?
In Obama’s failure to anticipate that Wright might be a problem and Hillary’s hiring Maggie Williams away from a bankrupt lender we can see a certain pattern emerging about both Democratic candidates - they’re both incompetant managers. No surprise, really - neither of them has ever had to produce an actual result in a day’s work. All they have are words - poll-tested, focus-grouped highly polished words which are designed to prevent the communication of actual information. Given their absolute lack of real world experience, we can expect that either of them - installed in the White House - will just make one after another management mistakes. This is not a supposition - its a promise; they don’t know what they are doing, and will be playthings in the hands of those in their Administration who do know what they are doing.
And the really scary thing? One of them might very well win in November.

“Hillary’s Leadership Experience”
No there’s an oxymoron.

If Wright is Obama’s biggest problem, we finally have a good choice for President.
Wright, being an American, damned America just like Falwell and Robertson, for it’s perceived flaws, hence damning himself. Otherwise, last I heard he hadn’t bought crystal meth from a gay male hooker with “faith based initiative” dollars while secretly relocating his pedophile deacon to avoid prosecution.
I’m a bit foggy on how one “manages” his local church’s pastor anyway, so please enlighten me.

As for Clinton, she needs to step aside. I believe we are truly ready as a nation for a female president, but just not this one.
As for Obama: from Catholic blog VoxNova:
“Unlike other candidates, Obama is an inspired leader. He is authentic and truthful. He radiates truth and goodness. He possesses charisma and exercises sound judgment. For this reason, he serves as a catalyst to awaken the better part of ourselves. He calls America to exercise noble qualities on behalf of the common good. ”
Git down with your Catholic selves!

slow down please & reflect -
doesn’t seem right to criticize Hill when many on B4V touted the record levels of home ownership as an indicator of the healthy Bush economy.
lets don’t be hypocritical partisians (redundant?, sorry).
to thy own self be true…

“He calls America to exercise noble qualities ”
noble defined as what?
abortion? when he said he did ot want to recognize infants surviving partial birth abortion that are breathing and thier hearts are beating outside of thier mothers womb as persons so they dont have the legal protection as a person (as defined by the constitution)….is that noble?
or racism? where his family and himself attended a church for 20 years, following wright, whose racist views and history include preaching hatred of “whitey” and endorsing the most radical anti white racist in america, fakkaran…only to denounce it all so he could be president? Im sure more than one echo in the Trinity church these days of the racists scream TRAITOR…is that noble? what is worse, abandoning 20 years invested in this racist institution, or betraying those whom you stood next to for 2 decades cheering racist speeches? Nobility? cmon…get real.

Does anyone really expect the Clintons to be above board on anything? She will take the Presidency any way she can and if she can’t have it then no democrat should have it.

>>If Wright is Obama’s biggest problem, we finally have a good choice for President.<<
So he is a good choice only because the racist cult he attended, participated in, and financially supported is meaningless in YOUR eyes?
Not to mention he has zero, nada, zip, no, real experience in governing.
No military experience, no real job with authority of any kind.
Oh yeah he is black, and articulate,
he can plagiarize and get a pass,
he is an empty suit.
A lightweight with a one page resume of being a “community activist” .
As empty vessel barry hussein obama is, from your perspective he HAS to be better than the klintoons.
We are in BIG trouble if this is YOUR best.
