[MadMaddie]

Did anyone see her interview with Hillary?

[MadBadger]

1. Shes the money honey.

[Adelante]

2. I didn't see it

But she's a business/wall street reporter.

[MadMaddie]

3. I don't know who my candidate is but the inteview was terrible.

It sounded like a Chris Mathews interview. I hope you can see it.

[Tellurian]

7. If it was a horrible interview...I'm sure msnbc will have it looped every 20 min..

I tune in now..

[durrrty libby]

11. The interview was fine and Hillary was impressive

The one stupid thing was the camera panned to another host who looked as though

he was falling asleep. However that had nothing to do with Maria or Hillary

I guarantee after you watch it, the idiocy of "some" will be reinforced:evilgrin:

"BARTIROMO: WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, WHERE WAS CONGRESS DURING ALL OF THIS? WE HAD A LOT OF NON-BANKS ON THE SCENE WITH CRAZY PROPOSALS, NO DOCUMENTATION, NO INTEREST FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. DID CONGRESS UNDERSTAND?

SENATOR CLINTON: NO AND UNDER THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO UNDERSTAND. YOU DIDN'T HAVE AN ADMINISTRATION WHO PAID ATTENTION TO THE EARLY WARNING SIGNALS. YOU DIDN'T HAVE A CONGRESS THAT CARED ABOUT IT."

[Adelante]

8. That's a damned good question nt

[slipslidingaway]

10. The warnings were being posted on financial sites and message

boards years ago...but Congress did not understand and Bernanke needs a tutorial to understand these complex instruments :)

[MadMaddie]

23. Its a good question....but the tone she took with Hillary was of

blaming the Democratic party who was in the minority.

Hillary answered just fine.

The other issue I had with her was the return of taxing the rich....she said that it would cause an unfair burden to the rich...WTF?

Once again Hillary answered just fine.

[JVS]

15. The dude at 1:51 and 2:03 is awesome!

:rofl:

[slipslidingaway]

18. Yes, what was that! lol nt

[durrrty libby]

19. He can only understand single syllables .Indeed ........awesome

:eyes: :dunce: :beer:

[JVS]

20. Maybe he's just bored listening to people talk about how...

"It's gonna come from, uhhh where it comes from"

Riveting and intelligent stuff

[durrrty libby]

21. Funny how it doesn't dawn on you that he is just a mannerless asshole

hmmm

[JVS]

16. At 5:17 she says Home Boners

[JVS]

17. and a few seconds later penalized

:-)

[Zueda]

9. Shes not as bad as the Nazi girl they have on CNBC...

The one that said we should just accept tainted shit from China to save our economy.

[Superman Returns]

14. hey

Erin Burnett is hot! She misspoke about the Chinese toys, she also got in trouble for calling Bush a monkey.

[suston96]

12. Excellent interview.....

As usual. Hillary is atop her facts and her knowledge of the mortgage disaster is remarkable. Hope she straightens the mess out before she leaves the Senate - in 2009.

[MadMaddie]

24. I agree Hillary was on top of her game...

I found the interviewer very biased and condescending.

James Rokakis:
“When the industry testifies for this panel, please ask yourself one question: why are we here to address what’s become a national crisis? They’ll blame the foreclosure disasters on a slow economy, on rising unemployment, or on rogue brokers and bankers who have misbehaved, and they’ll tell you we have enough laws and regulations, we just need to do a better job of enforcing the ones we have. Ask them if lax or non-existent underwriting standards haven’t played a role in this disaster?...”

[DURHAM D]

22. Good interview.

Once again Hillary Clinton shows what a policy wonk she really is. Even better, she can talk about/explain a complicated issue in terms most can understand. (w/ exception of some guy up thread)

Also, the meeting she had just attended, the letters she wrote and this interview shows she is still doing her day job.

[Beacool]

25. Yep, that's our Hillary!

She's a policy wonk and while campaigning she still does her day job. Her office staff in DC & NY keep her abreast of issues and also send her a weekly briefing book.
