Clinton's ideology is where all of the extremist exist, ie., Feminist & White Trash.

She should have dropped out after losing 11 straight with Wisconsin on February 19th, 2008, and saved us all 10's of millions in damages.

Where is Obama getting the money to pay Hillary's debt? Is he using his own campaign money? This doesn't seem fair to his supporters, using their contributions to pay the opponent's debt. Since the majority of his supporters are large corporations, it is understandable. They are paying for both the Democratic and Republican sideshows anyway.

The debt when George W. Bush took office was $5.727 Trillion when he left it was $10.627 Trillion. The total debt that George W accumulated in eight years of office is $4.84 Trillion The debt right now is $14.23 Trillion. In approximately 788 days in office, Obama has accumulated $4.24 Trillion. Using simple algebra you'll find by Nov 24 2011, Obama will have accumulated more debt in three years than George W. did in 8 years.

A majority of women were [and for whatever moronic reason are stiil] hell bent on not supporting Obama. That's why they're referring to the women.

So the money the Obama supporters donated to his campaign went to help out that whore ? Nice.

BTW McCain = Obama = Hillary = Bush = WWIII

Look up Obama's voting record, he's no different than McCain or Bush.

I can't believe Morgan Freeman leant his name to this franchise! Let's all face facts here, the whole show's been going south since "Batman Forever," and the Burton-directed messes that proceeded it were hardly any better than the trashy monstrosities they keep churning out today. Long live Elektra- the only superhero movie with the quality and guts to keep Middle America off their tractors!
