All I really want to know - Did Hillary EVER leave a plane under sniper fire? This is important. It could be somewhat excusable if she just had a brain-hiccup' and confused a time and place, but if she NEVER came under fire and had to do the 'duck and run' thing............ ????

Bill Clinton had a 'misspeak' about having sex in the oval office.
Hillary Clinton had a 'misspeak' about sniper fire. What a great team they make.
If she is the best option for president of the USA God help the rest of the world.

This is far worse than the contreversy that surrounded Rev Wright. No one has ever noticed Mr Obama making such controversial remarks as the Rev (to be fair to Rev Wright, a lot of Evangelical Preachers said after 9/11 that it was God's punishment, including a lot of White preachers). Obama's only "crime", if one can be attributed to him under the circumstances, is that he attended a Church where the Preacher made very controversial (but not illegal remarks). Mrs Clitton, on the other hand, has delibrately misled the public seeking to gain from that.
How could she call it a "blip"? That is very scary! Men, she is planning to take the most powerful post on earth, and calls misleading the public a "blip".
We already have enough "blips" about WMDs. No more "blips" please!

Tom, London,

"Okay, Clinton exaggerated a fact:"

Can somebody provide a few crates of dictionaries for the Clinton campaign?

Repeat after me... in a Bill Clinton voice... "they did not have shots at that woman"

Sandra,

Obama's campaign has been and always will be about moving onward and upward. It is Clinton who keeps dragging them down to her level. If you 'slip up' that easily your just asking for it.

Sathiji, London,

Mrs. Clinton has been very deliberately inflating her resume especially the "experience" section. Truth is she is no more qualified to answer scary phone-calls now than she was when she was First Lady.
The recent interview with the comedian Sinbad who accompanied Clinton as she moved in tactical-bounds, using fire-and-movement crossing the enfiladed tarmac of Tuzla was hilarious:-

In her Iowa stump speech, Clinton also said, "We used to say in the White House that if a place is too dangerous, too small or too poor, send the First Lady."

Say what? As Sinbad put it: "What kind of president would say, 'Hey, man, I can't go 'cause I might get shot so I'm going to send my wife...oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you.'"

Laugh? I almost cried!!!

Robert , Mobile, Alabama

The apparently convincing and nonchalant manner in which Mrs Clinton 'misspoke' about her experiences in Bosnia is only matched by her equally dismissive explanation for being caught lying!

It seems that this candidate for the most powerful elected office on the planet cannot distinguish between fact and fiction. The obvious question is can we believe anything she has said in the past or will say in the future? I cannot understand how the Amercan voting public can be taken in by this woman.

I wonder if she stays up until 3:00AM imagining these experiences?

Donovan Wright, Reading, Berkshire

If by millions a words a day she means at least 2 million words. Then in that case she utters over 2 words every second of every minute of every hour of the day. Even when she is asleep!
Or, in yet another 2 million word day, has she mispoken again?

Paul, Cincinnati, Ohio

I find it sad that Obama's campaign has nothing better to do than bash Hillary. Shouldn't he be spending his time coming up with a solution to the imminent economic recession rather than accusing her?

Okay, Clinton exaggerated a fact: do you mean to tell me that Barack has never flat-out lied about bills he worked on or programs he was involved in? Hillary isn't a perfect person. If one misstatement is the worst thing Obama can come up with about her, then she's a lot better politician than most others I can think of.

sandra, basking ridge, nj

If this can happen during the day, what 'mispeaks' could happen at 3-00 am?
If this had been the only occasion she 'mispoke' on the subject, well, maybe it could be understood. But as I understand the reports, it's happened before (twice) on this same subject.
In this case it seems to be not saying what you believe, but believing what you say.
Time to 'bow out gracefully' Hilary, before you totally destroy the Dems chance of winning.

Keith, Dalsland, Sweden

A million words a day would 17.36 words per second, every second for 16 hours a day. Yet another exaggeration or just pure stupidity? I think a president should have at least a marginal grasp of numbers.

Omar, Santa Rosa, CA

What a nasty bunch of people are under the Obama umbrella!
It is just snipe, snipe, snipe!
After watching, his interview with Larry King, I am not the least bit awed, by this phony thin skinned candidate.
'Me thinks, the gentleman, doth protest, too much'.
This final, nasty dig at Hillary Clinton, is, for me, just a step too far!
It reminds me, of the awful in fighting, that, occurred at 10 Downing Street, during, Blair's reign!

Actually, they are being run into and run down by reality. The Empress wears no clothes.

Chris, Arlington, VA, USA

Oh dear what is the matter with Hillary's memory,this sort of statement is just plain wrong and sadly it reduces her credibility,after all what is so terrible about saying she has not been involved in US foreign policy,surely that must be a plus.

margot parker, Kettering, UK

Hillary said: “You know, I think that, a minor blip, you know, if I said something that, you know, I say a lot of things – millions of words a day – so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement,” she said.

I pose a question to Hillary. Members of the jury (i.e., millions of voters) are advised to listen:

"Since you say millions of words every day, is it safe to assume that 90% (okay make that more than 50%) of what you say are misstatements?

Greg, Austin,

She speaks "Millions of words a day"? WOW! THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING!

Sol Bales, Des Moines, IA

Yet another minor embarrassment -- all of our candidates have stumbled into embarrassmets. Now that I am old & wise, I find that we exaggerate when we recommend ourselves. Once inflated, our tale becomes part of our history. It's what we wish we were.
Hillary's very genuine experience is constantly being run down by her detractors, but she is certainly a well-qualified woman.

Ernest Werner, Trumansburg NY , USA

"Misspoke"? That's cute...I like that. Next time I tell a blatant lie, I'll use that and see if it works.

Why aren't news stations replaying this over and over and over again?

Rain, Temple, PA

I'd say if her phone rang at 3 am, she might think it was sniper fire.

David, Amstelveen, Netherlands

Fudging a bit on how involved one is on a bill is one thing, making up sniper fire and imminent danger is quite another. Especially when you are using this and other statements that have come under question (Ireland work) to attack your apponent as being untested and not knowing how to answer a phone (look at SNL's take on this) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/16/snl-shows-blatant-antisp_n_91732.html
The photos and footage don’t even look like she is wearing bullet proof vests etc. And Bill would send his wife AND daughter into such danger? For someone without a security clearance in the White House, Hillary sure thinks she was involved in a lot of sensitive and cloak and dagger stuff! Why doesn't someone in the press ask her point blank if she EVER had to duck sniper fire… if not then this clearly isn’t a miss-speak but a fabrication.
