Clinton: "Al Jazeera Is Real News"

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Al Jazeera was gaining more prominence because it offered "real news" -- something she said American media were falling far short of doing. Speaking before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Clinton said the US was losing the "information war." Other countries and global news outlets, she said, were making inroads into places like the Middle East more effectively than the United States. One of the reasons she cited for this was the quality of channels like Al Jazeera. The channel, she said, was "changing peoples' minds and attitudes. And like it or hate it, it is really effective." US news, she added, was not keeping up.

"Obama is a shadowboxer"

Give me a break! I've got news for all the latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies crowding in to hear him speak! This guy won't last a round against the Republican attack machine. He's a poet, not a fighter.

Tom Buffenbarger, President of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, 19 Feb 2008

The Good Neighbor

Media_httpcdnclintonb_xknhr

Through the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, we will work to provide immediate relief and long-term support to earthquake survivors. We will channel the collective goodwill around the globe to help the people of Haiti rebuild their cities, their neighborhoods, and their families. We ask each of you to give what you can to help ensure the people of Haiti can build back stronger and better than ever.

Both of us have personally witnessed the tremendous generosity and goodwill of the American people and of our friends around the world to help in times of great need. There is no greater rallying cry for our common humanity than witnessing our neighbors in distress. And, like any good neighbor, we have an obligation and desire to come to their aid. The people of Haiti now need us more than ever.

~ President William J. Clinton & President George W. Bush
