In 2000, two months after her election, President Clinton pardoned four residents of the New Square Hasidic enclave in Brooklyn, who had been convicted of defrauding the Federal government. Critics were skeptical, because the New Square district had a strong tradition of "block voting." Later, a Federal investigation cleared both Clintons of any illegal activity regarding the New Square district allegations.

Senator Clinton came under criticism in 2004 after commenting on Mahatma Gandhi during a Democratic fund-raiser, saying that Gandhi was someone "who ran a gas station down in Saint Louis". Many took Clintons' words as stereotyping South Asians living in the United States. Clinton later apologized, stating she was making "a lame attempt at humor" and "admired the work and life of Mahatma Gandhi and had spoken publicly about that many times."[1] (.

In 1979, Hillary's trades in cattle futures contracts generated criticism regarding conflict of interest. Her initial $1000 investment generated a 10000% return by the time she ceased trading ten months later. Chicago Mercantile Exchange records indicated that $40000 of her profits came from larger trades ordered by someone else and shifted to her account, according to Leo Melamed, the former chair of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Her lawyer and friend, James Blair, an experienced futures trader, directed her trading. According to records, the commodities broker that faciliated the trades allowed Clinton to maintain her positions even though she did not have enough money in her account to cover her activity. He reportedly did so because her friend Blair was a good client. The firm was later fined for violating Chicago Mercantile Exchange rules governing margin trading. However, Melamed concluded that she had not broken exchange rules.

We have chosen the 10 finalists out of all of the entries we received for the contest. Here's how we got there: We watched every submission - we being myself (Anastasia), and other key members of the INdTV programming team (including four young people we feel are representative of our audience). We then had our president of programming and other executives screen the short list and decide on the final 10. They were evaluated based on creativity and originality. We favored those who shot original pieces for us and followed our prompts. We also factored in the overall quality of the piece and whether the subject matter would be of interest to our audience.

Before Howard Dean lands in Tennessee to help reshape the political party he now chairs, Democrats here are polishing up the image of the former Vermont governor whose liberal tag does not wear so well in the South.

Dean, who was elected last month as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is scheduled to be in Nashville on Tuesday and Wednesday.

He'll be raising money and speaking to college students -- with an eye to the 2008 presidential race that he says should include a Democratic nominee contending in the Southern and Western states that President Bush won.

He said that Asian countries, as the prime creditors of US debt,have a role to play in maintaining the stability of America's economy, which has been seeing high fiscal, trade and current account deficits, as well as personal debt at record levels.

A standing-room only crowd was deferential to former U.S. Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr. at an environmental conference on the Clean Air Act, but attendees loved former Vice President Al Gore.

For a brief time in an otherwise serious meeting, the conference had the hallmarks of a political event - with both men receiving standing ovations and applause. Gore also received thunderous cheers.

And when Gore completed his hour-plus presentation, he attempted to leave but was surrounded by students, retirees, educators and others to the point he could barely move.

Former Vice President Al Gore sent Christmas cards to Democratic activists throughout the country last month, a sign that he is keeping his options open about running for president again in 2008, Democratic strategists said yesterday.
New Hampshire Democrats who worked for Mr. Gore's election in 2000 said yesterday that the mass mailing to a large political list of party activists and financial backers estimated to number in the thousands signaled to them that he is keeping in touch with his supporters in case he decides to make another run for the White House.
"I think it's been customary to receive Christmas cards from politicians before they run for office, but rarely do you receive a Christmas card after the election is done," said Jim Demers, a former Gore strategist in New Hampshire who is now backing Rep. Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri for the nomination.

Gore 2008
The chatter in DC is that Al Gore has been contacting former staffers to explore a possible presidential run in 2008.

The candidate he endorsed last year, Howard Dean, (for which he took much flak) is poised to become the chair of the DNC. Moveon.org, the organization that sponsored Gore's speeches last year and used him in print ads, raised $30+ million in the 2004 cycle and has an email list as large as, if not bigger than, the DNC's (and they don't have to remain neutral in the primary). Maybe Gore played 2004 just right.

Of course, he still suffers from what ailed John Kerry last year. He has never successfully articulated a set of core beliefs for which he stands.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Former Vice President Al Gore told a conference on air quality Wednesday that the nation lacks only the nonpartisan will to protect and preserve the environment.

"Everything that needs to be done to clear up the Smokies ... to help the children of Knoxville with this (pollution-related) asthma crisis. Everything that needs to be done to clean up our air (is at hand)," Gore told an overflow crowd at the University of Tennessee.

"This is one of those times when you are called to act," the lifelong environmentalist urged them. "Morally, ethically, politically -- not in a partisan way -- I mean as citizens, Democrats and Republicans, alike."

He said the environment "used to be a bipartisan issue," recalling that former Sens. Howard Baker Jr., a Tennessee Republican, and Ed Muskie, a Maine Democrat, jointly drafted the first Clean Air Act in 1970.

Yesterday on Hardball MSNBC Chris Mathews confirmed that Former Vice President AL gore will not be a candidate in 2008. That means right now the democrats are left with Hillary, Al Sharpton, Kerry, Edwards and Ralph Nader. Chris Mathews used to work as Presidential speechwriter at the white house during Carters administration, In other words he used to be a full blown , hard core democrat who turned out to be a Republican during the Clinton administration, One who admires and embraces Ronald Reagan and the body builder Arnold very much. Is he always right , may be sometimes. not only he embraces the republicans very much and also he admires them and praises them for their unsuccessfull, dead end policies from time to time. Is he Intelligent , I have no idea, Is george Bush Intelligent, although he manages to win 2 elections and who graduated from the Top American Universities (such as Yale and Harvard). America only you can answer this question, Is carl rove intelligent, I have no idea, people do get lucky sometimes However that does not mean they are Intelligent.
