Sen. Clinton to visit Syracuse Wednesday
by Mark Weiner
Tuesday July 01, 2008, 1:30 PM
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is taking a break from the presidential campaign and returning to Upstate issues.Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday will make her first congressional business trip to New York since dropping out of the presidential election campaign.
And where will she visit first? Syracuse.
The public will be able to see Clinton at 10:15 a.m. in Hanover Square, where she will hold a press conference.
New York's junior senator plans to visit in the morning with Syracuse Mayor Matt Driscoll, hear from representatives of several green business and alternative energy firms, and then meet up in Syracuse with Gov. David Paterson.
While in Syracuse, Clinton will receive a briefing and demonstration from Central New York companies and universities involved in alternative energy research and development.
Among those briefing the senator will be representatives from the Metropolitan Development Association, Syracuse University, SUNY Morrisville, SUNY-ESF, SUNY Binghamton, Cornell University and the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce.
After the briefing, Clinton, Paterson and Driscoll will talk about their commitment to help spur the growth of alternative energy and green jobs.
Clinton will leave Syracuse in the late morning to make her way west for visits to damaged apple orchards in Wayne County and the Geneva area. She'll end her day in Buffalo at the ceremonial opening of the Erie Canal Harbor.
Clinton has made only two other appearance in the state since she suspended her presidential campaign on June 7. In both cases she spoke in high school graduation ceremonies in New York City.
Useless article. How about telling us WHERE and what time she will be speeking.
must be she wants to run for senator again...now that she did not make it for president
Looks like her butt is stuck in the back seat. Nice photo.
Take a ride over to the falls, you can watch nerfball jump!! lol
Doesn't matter where she will be, she will be hailed as a goddess, a legend, a true star. The artical is already written - complete with pics!! I saw Slick Hilly a long time ago when she visited Mike Bragman's home in Cicero. Twenty or thirty of her fans were at the end of Mike's driveway with 'Hillery, we love you!' signs and they were covered by the Post Std and the local TV stations, at length, ad nauseum. But, about a half mile away, being held at bay by the NYSPD were 150 - 200 protesters with their signs calling Hillery a 'Carpet Bagger' and saying 'Hillery, Go Back Home to Arkansas!!'. Now, I understand the need for security, and no sense inviting trouble but to have NO coverage by ANY local media of the dissenters??? Makes you wonder if the local media has their OWN agenda. Things that make you say,'Hmmmmmm'
It's about time she attempts to do some actual work. Only politicians can get paid for one job while actively persuing another, all the while not performing any job.
Nice she could find her way back to NY...wonder if she plans on visiting again anytime soon? Who knows one day she might want to get a job here...ohh thats right...
If she fields any questions, I hope someone will ask her about what she is doing for the sinking upstate economy. When the prospective governers marched through upstate (Southern Tier) before the last election, they argued about whether it is insulting to compare the area to the very worst of Appalachian poverty. The elected offical obviously had some distractions but they all fought about how bad it really is, and they all promised to do something about it. The Clinton's bought a house in one of the weathiest (and whitest) areas of Westchester after teasing New Rochelle about the possibity of living there. Is it no wonder she has not noticed that the economy lags for some people and in some places. Regardless of your political views-like her or hate her-she is in a position to make a difference if pressured. So, instead of arguing about how she looks, or how you feel about her, how about sticking to important issues here and with her.
HANOVER SQUARE AT 10 A.M. She is scheduled to make a speach on the Hanover Square Stage after visiting the Coffee Pavilion's Art Gallery.
That look says "Great,, I'm back in CNY"
I heard she will be selling bottles of wine at $10,000 a bottle, she needs to pay off that campaign debt.
Well, well, well.........Hill is again interested in NY State now that she is no longer running for Prez! How can anybody in the state take this pathetic phony seriously! She is going to be talking about alternative energy? Hey Hillary, how about wind and solar power for our cars and trucks. The last time I looked, they run on gasoline which comes from oil which comes out of the ground and needs to be DRILLED HERE and REFINED HERE! Good grief - how hard is this to understand? Oh yea, it's all about power and control and the loss of our liberties. Keep voting her in NY'ers! I left Manlius long ago for the Lone Star state!
hey , why doesnt hillary put her money where her mouth is and use some of her campaign warchest towards paying her supporters healthcare premiums here in cny.
Much as I dislike her and mistrust her (I was one of the original "Anyone but Hillary" crowd), I have to admit that given the sad pair we ended up with, she's beginning to look better and better. Now we have a choice between an empty suit and a suit that zips up the back.
jeffrhen please quit braggin, lucky SOB.. seriously what the HELL has she done for NY?? Nothing,, but try to push her agenda of trying to become president,,that all NYers. Do ya all feel used now.
KegJ
ahhh what warchest? She's in the hole $20,000,000 and $10,000,000 of that is out her pocket.
Imagine that dinner conversation with Slick, "you spent how much"?
OBAMA 08'
The only thing that is important as of now is the fact that Democrats must unite and stand behind perhaps one of the greatest leaders of our time!
Clinton has figured it out and so has the rest of America; Obama is the choice and the only choice if we ever want to change as a Country and get this Country going in the right direction.
It is refreshing to see Hillary back to work. Leave the real campaign to Obama!
inkdodger- the only change you are going to get from Obama is from the dollars you spend in taxes- keep your kind of change!
and what direction is that? it's for sure is not "right" litterally and figurativly.
Great leaders of our time, OK,, Please enlighten us an what has he accomplished to earn such praise?
inkdodger, I know specifics are not the long suit with Dems, but just out of curiosity,other than taking advantage of the disasterous Clinton campaign, what has Obama done that would even remotely qualify him as "one of the greatest leaders of our time." Possibly at some time in the future he may have a body of work that could qualify him as a leader. Right now he is nothing but another "Chance the Gardener"...a decent, ordinary guy who happened to be at the right place at the right time.
Opinionater1 - It sounds like you are a Republican who is scared of loosing control of the White House, a White House that never had control.
I would rather pay higher taxes in a more secure economy where everyone's pockets are fat rather than paying low taxes when I have no money because of a poor economy.
Cheers!

"I would rather pay higher taxes in a more secure economy where everyone's pockets are fat rather than paying low taxes when I have no money because of a poor economy."
What??
again What?
sounds like you would have the same amount of money either way you have NO MONEY.
LMFAO
You can rag on Obama all you want and vote republican till you're red in the face and it won't change a thing. This state hasn't gone red since Reagan ran and thats not about to change. Obama is crushing McCain in all the issue poles except for the war issue. Personally I could go for either canidate, either way the republicans lose. McCain is pretty left wing on most social issues, and probably the most liberal republican in Washington. Either way the reign of the idiot conservatives in the White House is over. The only downside to this election is that with Hillary out we can't get Bill back in washington to fix the damn economy.
And oh so many will come out to see her.. so very many... one person that will not come back to see her is Vince Foster that is for sure....
Look how bad NY state is with the DEMS running it.Are NY'rs that freekin stupid!Change you will get and lots of it to the poor house.I just heard they opened it back up across from OCC.See ya there.
That idiot in the White House is anything but a Conservative!!!!
Look at Hillary's expression. Look at the driver's expression. Whatever they did in the back seat of that car must not have been pleasant.
Yea,, NAFTA was brilliant, just ask Ohio & Michigan and the dotcom fall out. Ohh yea Bill was on top of his game. oops, I mean intern.
Obama "perhaps one of the greatest leaders of our time"?!?! Put the pipe down, then tell me exactly what he has done to be put in that category.
Actually, don't bother. Because I can tell you what Obama has done:
(In case you were looking for something, what he's accomplished is illustrated in the above blank space.)
Obama is an inexperienced person who is being held up by the media and his cult-like worshipping followers. He is socialistic in his views, and has a laundry list of communists, socialists, domestic terrorists, and foreign terrorist sympathizers as his friends and supporters.
I'd rather have Hillary than Obama, at least she's predictable and we know more about her.
I want to take this time to wish every person in this great State of New York and every person in this great Country of the United States of America to have a safe and happy Fourth of July celebration and remember all those fellow americans that give us this FREEDOM, politicans, former presidents and our young men and women serving in our present WAR, our first line of defense POLICE AND EMS, All our teachers, clergy and citizens trying to MAKE a Difference in the outcome of this GREAT COUNTRY. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR CITIZENS.
Hilarious is actually launching the upstate New York campaign for Obama in the hopes of getting somewhere around $20 mil in return to pay off her personal debts from her failed presidential campaign. The theme of the kickoff party will be "200,00 new jobs created since the democrats have gained total control of the congress and senate." Of course those 200,000 jobs were created in China and India but who really cares because Bill and Hill are $100 million richer than they were just a few short years ago. So they don't need to see 200,00 new jobs but they would REALLY like to see $20 million.
Oh, and that thing about Obama being a great leader? Great leaders demonstrate how they can get things accomplished - not talk about it. And Barack Obama hasn't even TALKED about what he wants to accomplish.
And in my opinion, that's really too bad because I'm not sold on John McCain's platform. But I'm not hearing anything of substance from Barack Obama so as of right now, I'm leaning towards McCain. And that thing about change? I'm not afraid of change, but I'm fairly curious about what specific change he's actually planning and just how he intends to accomplish it.
lakerman1, if you're referring to the expression on Hill's face and the inference of possible inconsistencies with her purpose in the back seat, I beg to differ.
She's a bit concerned about spots and stains on her wear and was relieved she saw none.
Hillary & Obammy = Socialism. You vote for these idiots; you are voting for the closest parallelism to socialism in this country. Case in point: look at the democratic states (New York, California, etc.) with big-government, no jobs except union orientated State initiated jobs, horrible economies, big taxes, and higher than average unemployment. Liberals = Socialists.
One simple way to counter any argument from a liberal is merely ask them, “how”; and they rarely have a viable long-term solution and answer. One thing is certain; they sure can complain about others and rarely are accountability to themselves. “Change?” Yeah right. Change for a liberal is change that helps them, and no one else. The only reason Hillary is supporting this idiot is that he is paying off her debt from the campaign. Liberals = hypocrites = socialists. Wise up New York. At some point, you will realize the democrats have no business knowledge, lack long-term viable goals, and are “in-it” for their benefit. When I heard that Hamas is supporting Barocky for President; that sealed the deal. Thank God for the electoral system.
lucent1,
Not sure what your definition of useless is, but in the 3rd paragraph, the article states: "The public will be able to see Clinton at 10:15 a.m. in Hanover Square, where she will hold a press conference" .... I'm not making you look stupid because you may have read over that part, everyone please read carefully before posting.
wow it's funny how people and complain about someone but are to afraid to do anything themselves. how many people on here are doing things to imporve their community NO ONE but your real quick to blame the police. I've looked at a lot of communities around the CNY area. I've seen community watch groups and community complaint groups. grow up protect your own and the city will change but it's up to you, or maybe Syracuse does have a lot of cowards and that's why there are so many young kids joining gangs.
cusesailor,
your post is useless and full of spelling and grammatical errors but we do thank you for your useless input.
Vince Foster was allegedly Hillary's dalliance and he ended up dead due to "suicide". If Obama is smart, he'll choose a running mate other that Hillary. How'd you like to be one bullet away from her and the Presidency?
Why can't this woman be content to go back to her home, wherever that may be, and be content to take care of her house and home and encourage her daughter to get married to a great guy and have babies, so she can be a normal grandma? OH NO! That would make too much sense! We have to be Hyper-competitive! We have to leave our legacy, however disgusting it might be. Hillary, Real New Yorkers don't want you, or need you. Go back to ArKansas, and bake some cookies, and deep fry some chitterlins, and be a real home girl. Isn't there anyone back Home that misses you? You accomplished enough, your daughter is a real Hottie, now it is her turn to Rock. She MAY have half a chance in NYS, you don't =go home, already.
between the local press telling us how good everthing is... "all is well, ALL IS WELL!!!," and fine senators like hillie and chuckie blowing more smoke up... y'know, like the auburn factory, or the fulton factory. It's time to call u-haul and let someone else pay for the mess CNY is in, I am beyond fed up with the half truths, false promises and lapsed commitments. Compare cny to almost anywhere else, our homes are worth less than it would cost to rebuild, our jobs pay less than the national average and it seems as if everything worth having is closing/leaving. Maybe we can all get one of those fine $75,000 a year jobs at the new and improved mall.
rocknruler, 'your daughter is a real hottie' - where did that come from? Her daughter is a graceless spoiled brat, with a face that plastic surgery was unable to improve.
Let's keep it real, rocknruler. And Chelsea has 'half a chance in NYC because daddy and mommy found her a job in a hedge fund.
Please leave the woman alone until she finishes her dump.

Look up supply side economics in your high school textbook. Then when you graduate, get a job and actually pay taxes and still fell the same way I might respect your opinion.
inkdodger - "...higher taxes in a more secure economy..." - exactly where would you find this fantasy land?
Please enroll in economics 101 before you post again.
I can't believe people would even want to see her, she has gotten paid for the last two years to run around campaining and lost, so now she is going to continue campaining for obama, in the mean time NYS is going broke, people are moving out of the state in groves because we are being taxed to death,oh yea I forgot its all that evil bush's fault.
YES we did it we're #1, NYers are paying the highest taxes in the country.
So according to inkdodger
Every one's wallet should be fat.
mines not
anyone else?
The only way any politician can do anything to create growth in our economy is to vote for deep and permanent tax cuts. Thus there is nothing a politician can do in this state to affect this positive change.
They had a chance to cap property tax INCREASES at 5%, but the NYSNUT bullied all your legislators to table the proposal. LET YOUR REPS KNOW YOUR PISSED, and the glass ceiling budgets of the school districts,cites, towns and countys needs to reigned in, enough is enough.
Do you know who is the STRONGEST lobbiest in the nation??
NRA -- nope
#1 AFT - American Federation of Teachers
She will still be campaigning six feet under.
WAKE UP PEOPLE.
You can't just keep voting these librals in and expect some kind of change.How much change have we had the past 30 or so years.
rovinworker, a gentle correction. People are leaving NY in droves, not groves. The word droves is used in comparison to droves(herds) of cattle, I believe. The people who herded the cattle in the old west were called drovers.
Your point is still valid, however.
LEFT vs RIGHT
RIGHT vs LEFT
Keep fighting & clawing at each other, the Washington, D.C. FOLKS THRIVE ON IT!
And their wallets are all FAT!

Everyone please---we all have comments about whatever the issue is BUT PLEASE sit down and write, e mail or whatever all our elected officials about the gas prices. I am not for starting a revolution but I think if they got bombarded with mail everyday they might just get off their fat a$$'s and do something. THIS
IS NOT A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY but it is becoming one.
As for Hillary she has her own adjenda and if I were Obama I would think twice before getting involved with ther unless he has a deaqth wish
HatTrick3367,
You state that NY only has union oriented government jobs. Was it not government programs and jobs instated by FDR that got the country out of a depression? Higher taxes can help to bring an economy out of the garbage as well. The problem comes when the tax money is spent poorly. Jobs, education and health care should be the hoghest priorities of any respectable government. These issues impact our society directly. What happened in the late '30s was government money being spent on programs that supplied jobs. The increase in jobs led to more money in the pocket of blue collar Americans. This in turn lead to more spending which created more jobs etc. I think programs like Destiny are exactly what this area needs. Destiny will create many good paying jobs and also bring attention to CNY. Companies will be more inclined to come to Syracuse and set up shop, again leading to more jobs and a more stable economy.

she just stopped by to deliver all the jobs she promised us. Perhaps she will also reduces the price of gas. For all of you that keep voting for her and upchucky,yes, the sky is falling

-No, lower taxes will bring an economy "out of the garbage". It worked in the 80's, it worked with the first Bush tax cuts, and it will work again. SUPPLY SIDE ECONOMICS...it works! Socialist redistribution of wealth does not.
Arguing online is like competing in the special olympics, even if you win you're still retarded. P.S. Use spell check you inbred morans.
Sen. Clinton claims Syracuse's new "green" industry has created 10,000 jobs in this area (7/3/08 Post Standard article).
Senator Clinton lies to her constituants, the Post-Standard reports it and then the Post does not challange her on this.
10,000 new jobs my @$$.....Liar!

YOU CREEP ME OUT.
NOBAMA '08.
Lets quit complaining and act. Go to the polls and vote and let the chips fall. We have a real problem and it is not just the politicians. We are all spoiled. We all can conserve on gas which is our number one problem. Put some pressure on OPEC to do the right thing for world economy. Tighten the turban around there heads a little bit. We are still the leader in the free world. Next election, send Hillary back to Arkansawand put a New Yorker in her place. The mayor of NY would be a good place to start. Bye Hillary this is your las Hurrah.
