Clinton laughs off Colombia questions

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (CNN) – Hillary Clinton used her trademark laugh Thursday to deflect a question about the $800,000 her husband earned in 2005 giving speeches for a Bogota-based group that supports the Colombia free trade agreement — the same trade deal she currently opposes.

Leave it to the Hil-Bilys, they are probably receiving payments to an account in the Caymans. "I was against it before I was for it". "This people have more Sh** than a Christmas goose". The problem with these people is, they both lie with impunity. Nothing makes them blush. They have always thought they were above the law, and all should curtsy to them. Get Real and run them out of DC on a rail.

how about the port deal that her husband was lobbying for and she opposed? from what i'm hearing he was paid for that, quite a bit more. she opposes it and he still gets paid for it! do you think the democrat liberals are dragging this out to keep campaighn money from john mcain? answer the question or bow out! stop playing games. this is not a game we are playing. we need a leader especially now!

so billy is on the take for a few million bucks!

obama has accepted big money from oil when he specifically denied it - and said he would never take any from them!!!

And obama has gotten $240,000,000 in contributions from soros & soros funded internet sites!!! soros is trying to buy this election and has the perfect socialist circus geek to control!!!!!

GAMES! GAMES! GAMES! They're RICH and FOOLING some People and LAUGHING about it. That $800,000 resulting from Clinton's speech LOBBYING for the NAFTA trade deal with COLOMBIA-is HILLARY CLINTON's MONEY TOO. They are married and I seriously doubt that Hillary Clinton is against the NAFTA deal with COLOMBIA. Hillary Clinton praised NAFTA up until the time that OBAMA questioned the fact that NAFTA has created excessive JOB-OUTSOURCING and causes Americans to be without jobs or have low pay jobs. Up to then, Bill and Hillary Clinton were LAUGHING to the BANK with all the NAFTA trade deals Clinton was involved in whether as a PAID SPEAKER or PAID ADVISOR-- call it what you want-- BOTH CLINTONS BENEFIT from the very NAFTA unfair- to- American workers-Trade- Deal that CLINTON PUSHED into law, without discussions or amendments that would have given our country the necessary teeth to counter the trade deficits and job losses we see today.
That DUBAI Ports deal that Clinton Lobbied for and Hillary Clinton opposed would have had numerous U.S. seaports UNDER THE CONTROL of an ARAB country that supported the TALIBAN FINANCIALLY and as a TRAINING BASE. GREAT! Philadelphia,PA was to be one of those port and good o' Miami and New Orleans... HILLARY CLINTON voted against the DUBAI PORTS DEAL for the SAME reason she's "TALKING" about voting against the COLOMBIA trade DEAL-- she'll vote what is POLITICALLY CORRECT for her- so what? It's a WIN-WIN DEAL for the CLINTONS ,CAAAA-CHING, UNLESS-PA VOTERS VOTE SMART! If Pennsylvania votes for Hillary Clinton, they will PLAY into the hands of GREED and that GREED won't pay a living wage, won't save their jobs, and won't feed their families.

And what about the money the CLINTONS haven't reported? What about the $15,000,000 from his Yucaipa investment company buy out? This is the investment company through which the Dubai ports deal was run. DUBAI was sure the CLINTON name would get them the deal. Google it if you have the time-YUCAIPA MONEY CLINTON

this is Bush's fault.

It is funny that anyone believes her about anything. She is a proven liar and I have no reason to believe what she says about this Colombia deal. As soon as she found herself in a position to help Columbian free trade, she will. If anyone questions her she will claim that she "misspoke" and that "I was against it before I was for it" and "I was mislead by George Bush" and a good chunk of America will say "Oh she just misspoke, that's OK then"

[John Peters]

Why can't an adult run for office? Clinton takes in $110,000,000 over five years and asks us to believe that they understand our pain? They are so 90's. Anyone else, please.

[Justme]

And another example that money can't fix all problems. Like this one. All the money spent for college & still garbage spews forth. Save us from all this Hill/Billy-mess. I'm tired of the way this just lingers on, on, on & on. For the real America, shut that pie-hole. Silence is golden.

[DavidH64]

Are the Clintons really trying to convince people they are suddenly anti-NAFTA? OMG that is f'in laughable. Yet so many morons in this country still support her, and supported her husband. If she is the Dem nominee and gets elected this country is doomed. You think the Shrub years have been bad? You aint seen nothing yet.

Until recently I had been undecided, but lately I support McCain. The other choices are far severely worse.

[Matt Zarnstorff]

She really is a piece of work. She tried to rake Obama over the coals when the NAFTA issue came out before Ohio, now when someone from her campaign does it, it's a joke. Notice that Obama is taking the high road and hasn't attacked her like she always "kitchen sinks" him.

[The laughing liberal]

Not surprised. Clintons simply are squm of the earth.

the funny thing is the fact that clinton has the nerve to call Obama an elitist

[Just An Observer]

You know what? Candidates do occasionally make mistakes. I am aware of that. However, what really irritates me, is, the idea of going on some nightly comedy show and trying to make a big joke about it. Lying consistantly to the American people is a big joke? It's funny to take the voters and their issues for granted? It's funny what people are struggling with? How nice to be so full of ones' self to do nothing more on the campaign trail than to joke about it all. Let me laugh on the way out of the voting booth!

[Old Man Charlie]

Yep . . . remember that TRADEMARK LAUGH . . . no one wants to hear that girlish giggle when she addresses the country about some important, but difficult situation. We don't need a leader who giggles when things get tough.

[rebeltothelast]

laughing off a lie about nafta which won her ohio when she lied about obama and in pa where are the peoples brains at. she obviously was for and supported nafta. nafta took their blue collar jobs and yet they still vote for her. they must be on some kind of drug up there where they live in a reverse reality and the truth is the lie and the lie is the truth. that is hillarys philosophy anyway.
