What do you not understand? People CHEAT! He was the president so people actually knew about it. He was a GOOD president. Why dont you all understand its just a stupid joke anyways. "Honey, If I stand by you when you cheat on me, you better stand by me when I run for president" AT LEAST if she wins, he'll be influencing her to make decisions because he actually did well in office. I'm only 18 and you guys can't figure this out.

Went to both Senators rallies the last week - and made my decision today - Hillary Clinton is the only experienced candidate that has solid solutions to our everyday problems.
The media has been trying to make Obama the President - after hearing him speak - he is a great orator - but come home and just to figure out what he said is impossible.
Hillary is warm, caring, thoughtful, and understanding with her answers and comments.
She attended a rally in New Orleans to give hope back to the black community that did not even vote for her - Obama was too busy with his campaign - much as he is now with the remaining primaries - just another politican.
Please Oregonians - vote with your heart - and even if you don't like Hillary Clinton - vote for her as a wakeup call that Obama will need us again in the general election if he becomes the nominee.

WOW's comment on Bill Clinton not doing anything bad in office...he didn't have MUCH to do AT ALL!! But he did cut our country security budget to nothing. I wonder how 911 would have been different if he hadn't!

For those still hooked up on the "Monica" thing, aren't the Republicans the family ideals party? No matter what Hillary would have done - somebody would piss and moan. Basically what ever happened, was between the both of them. I would have liked the Republicans to send the $53 million the "investigation" cost to Coos County - we could have used it.

Couldn't agree more with Mona. I think it's a shame that people are allowed to vote considering they choose candidates by how they look, if they're a woman, if they're black, and other really ignorant reasons. On Bill Clinton... I wouldn't vote for anyone related to him. He should have been impeached when he was in office, and you all know why. As far as Hillary goes...I have zero respect for a woman who stayed married to a man just so she could build a political carreer. She's as big a liar as Bill. The proof shall come when she looses this election (as she should) and dwindles out of politics. That's when she'll file for divorce. No, I do not have a voting preference and most likely will not vote this year because I have yet to see a candidate worthwhile. Where have our heros gone!

Don,
I'm not surprised by your small-minded, narrow and fictional view on current events. If Bush Jr. had listened to his advisors who knew anything, even his own father, we wouldn't have invaded Iraq. Bush Sr., another of your beloved Republicans, had the opportunity to remove Hussein back in the first Gulf War. I would be the first to tell you something needed to be done about Hussein, but to go in and invade without a legitimate plan for the aftermath was stupid and it's been a failure. I'll bet Clinton's advisors warned him of that as well whenever they supposedly told him to invade Iraq. And to take on such a war even while our number 1 threat Osama Bin Laden is still at large and the aftermath of the Afghanistan invasion hadn't been cleaned up yet defies logic and common sense. So don't go blaming
Democrats because this Bush Administration can't think things through before it acts. Get a clue.

This is to DON, the republican... I know people in the republican party can never accept responsibility for what thier party has done BECAUSE that would reflect the fact that their president makes mistakes. And of course we all know he is perfection. So, republicans must blame democrats for everything. About Sadam, as I recall Sadam wasn't a threat to any one while President Clinton was in office. He had gotten rid of his WMD'S as promised to daddy bush and, he and his people were enduring the embargo daddy Bush had imposed on them. You remember don't you? So, why would President Clinton want to do like THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT BUSH so arregantly did, without provacation, and invade a country (killing it's leader and population)? Don, don't you remember how daddy bush didn't want to invade Bagdad in his war with Sadam? A war Sadam started by the way. Thats because daddy bush and Sadam were good friends. Gen. Swartzkof wanted to go into Bagdad and take out Sadam right then, but daddy bush said no... SO now DON who do you blame it on??? Why should Bill Clinton clean up daddy bushes war?

Don wrote on Apr 25, 2008 9:49 PM:
I wouldn't vote for a clinton for any amount of money. If he had listened to his advisors we never would have had to go to Irag, who knows the region may have been stable had he removed Sadam back then.
But that's right you Dems forget that, Iraq is a Republican problem. Which I guess is true, we have to clean up YOUR mess, so do, Vote in Hillary, and we can do this again.

While YOU may not like Bill Clinton, an awful lot of folks around the WORLD (and I don't mean the news paper) do like him and think of him as a fine statesman. Not all countries live with the same standards, both political and moral, the U.S. lives with so don't go saying President Clinton has brought disgrace throughout the world, to the U.S. because it just isn't true. The person you should pin that tail on is the REPUBLICAN who took our economy (the good one Bill Clinton left us with) and used our money to kill a country and its people AND who will leave us with the world hating us for the next hundred years. As for Bill Clinton and his follies with the ladies, well, he isn't the first U.S. President to cavort while in office nor is he the worst.. There are a whole list of them if you care to research presidental history. Both Democrat and Republican, have done their share of cavorting.

Whether you like Bill Clinton or not, he IS a fomer President. On the other hand, Mr. Clinton is here to campaign for his wife, a woman I can't stand and will never support. And therein lies the dilemma. So I let my kids make the decision. Their answer? No way to Hilary Clinton! Guess I'll have to catch you next time Bill.

I agree with one of the emails in the beginning. Some of these negative remarks only reflect on the ignorance of the people making the statements. I cannot believe the hypocrisy as well. He who is without sin, throw the first stone? Get real. What about the war...an unjust war. How about the killing of another culture and it's people under false pretenses? The harm that has come about under Bush is so heinous compared to any person error in the Clinton era. Clinton is a man who should be respected for the many economic, social, and yes environmental policies he implemented. Instead of developing personal vendettas based on agreeing with your neighbor, get an education.

Regardless of who is coming to speak here, the vast majority of you will find something to cry and whine about. Many residents in this county just sit on their fat butts, collecting welfare, complain about the lack of jobs, pour in and out of WalMart, etc...How about going back to school and re-educating yourselves so that the loss of the fishing and logging industry won't leave you unemployed. No politian is perfect, no civilian is perfect. Some of you complain about Bill Clinton's morals. How many of you are alcoholics, child abusers, spousal abusers, etc? It makes me want to leave the coast all together.

Bill Clinton is a lot of things; imperfect, intelligent, driven. He also presided over 8 years of economic boom/growth in this country - and we had a strong, positive political presence in the world. While I don't agree with many of his personal choices (and I'm sure some of you writing in live in glass houses, also), he has done some amazing things for this country and for other countries. I think it's terrific that someone of his status is coming to our small corner of the world - it gives our community an opportunity to be center stage. I hope that during my lifetime, more of the citizens of this county will start walking full erect - without dragging their knuckles in the proverbial sand. Grow up people.

I can't help but to think that, if the taliban and al-quaida weren't fighting U.S. troops on their soil, That our citizens would be running from more crumbling buildings on our soil. Where are all the George Washington decendents at. We need a new crop of candidates. I don't want any of them as our president.

I am going to listen to what he has to say about health care and financial security. I do not care for the man's morals but, it is the message I want to hear. I'm not going to be his friend. I'm concerned about Obama's lack of love for this country. I mean after all his wife is only just now proud to be an American. What is that all about? Hillary can be fake but can be genuine too. McCain is old. I don't really see a clear choice in personalities but I'm more interested in the issues. Oh by the way Oregon is not just Obama country - I know a lot of McCain and Hillary supporters too.

could someone ask if Hillary wins, will she be returning the taxpayers property they took when they left the white house?

I find many of these small-minded -- and coincidentally heavily Republican --arguments to be laughable. Since when does being aligned with the Democratic party equate to something bad for children or shameful for schools? I'll be proud to take my child to see a former president of the United States. But I guess I'm just a patriot. The Democrats actually support education, rather than mandating 100-percent results with no resources to do the job. And on morality, how many thousands of people died overseas under Clinton? I'm guessing not as many as in the quagmire Bush has gotten us into. Clinton didn't do everything right; I think the Northwest Forest Plan is enough evidence of that. But overall he was a good president who did some good things. As for the pathetic morality argument, those who live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones.

WOW, you would think that the people in Coos County would have more open minds with all that Ocean breeze coming through their ears. Oh well, there is enough sand for everyone to stick their heads in. Even if you don't like the speaker, at least hear what they have to say, it may surprise you

Sasha and others-- Bush,Nixon,Johnson,Grant were presedents,did their time, good bad or indifferent and left office quietly; but Bill Clinton was the only preident impeached and FOUND GUILTY and doesn't know when to shut up and go away! This ex-president is a disgrace to our nation but a wonderful spokesman
for Madame Hillary and her socialist ideology. On second thought, it is a good idea for ex-prez Bill to appear at the grade school. Hopefully the children will be instructed by their teachers that Bill is a prime roll model of what not to grow up to be like.

I believe that everyone deserves the chance to be heard and it is a smart move to come to North Bend to try to earn some votes for his wife. In past years how many people have actually cared about addressing our community? They always go to bigger places, I appreciate the fact that I don't have to drive to Eugene, Salem or Portland to hear what he has to say on behalf of his wife and I really hope that Obama takes the time to come here also.

On the McCain point, you're right - We DO need to beat that warmongering old grump, and we need to do it with someone who can sweep the floor with him, not have a race that's close enough to rig.
Besides, if you're a true Democrat, you shouldn't be ragging on someone who could easily be our eventual nominee, providing rules aren't changed midstream. You're making Hillary supporters look even more divisive and uninformed than they already tend to do on their own already.

George W. Bush proves the most immoral and unethical president in recent history. His legacy makes Richard Nixon and Lyndon Baines Johnson look like saints. His corruption makes Ulysses Grant's administration resemble Mother Theresa's chastity. He stands daily in violation of his oath of office to the U.S. Constitution.

All the candidates, except Ron Paul, are for a socialist and globalist agenda. Goodbye Constitution. See ya later Bill of Rights (oh yeah thats

To bad its only Clinton, Obama and McCain the media shows, but when youre living in a controlled society thats what you get, lots of puppets.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I am excited that Bill Clinton is coming to this area. We need a strong democrat to run against McCain and frankly I don't think that Obama could win. And if you want my honest opinion in a world of terrorism Obama scares me. Do you want a President who will NOT put his hand on a bible or will NOT put his hand over his heart to say the Pledge of Allegiance. I plan to be there to show my support.

Typically the handlers book smaller venues like this to give the overall appearance of a larger crowd.
If the room is filled to capacity with people scrunched together, you can get a super shot of Bill on the stage with the bottom portion of the photo filled with people.
Additionally, the press reports will say things like "Capacity Crowd", "Standing Room Only", "Busting at the seams with fans" etc.
Smoke and mirrors baby, smoke and mirrors.
