Does Bill not want Hillary to be president? . . . Honestly, honestly honestly. I think there is some secret, dark part of Bill Clinton – not that he actually has many “secret” dark
parts, but stick with me here – that does not want his wife to be president. How else can one explain how this most sublime of politicians seems to do everything possible to destroy her chances? White House

Bill said he didn't take capital gains. Is it true? . . . Bill Clinton’s claim that he and Hillary have paid “almost no capital gains” in the past 15 years was put in doubt Monday following reports showing the former first couple
booked nearly $400,000 in capital gains between 2000 and 2006. But a Daily Caller analysis shows the Clintons may have incurred vastly more capital gains than that: between $2 million and $7.4 million. Daily Caller

The king and queen of Haiti . . . There’s no country that more clearly illustrates the confusing nexus of Hillary Clinton’s
State Department and Bill Clinton’s foundation than Haiti—America’s poorest neighbor. The legacy of the Clintons’ efforts here is decidedly mixed, a murky story filled with big promises and smaller results. Politico
Huckabee: Pastors must obey Court on gay marriage . . . If the Supreme Court rules in June that so-called gay marriage is a “civil right” protected by the U.S. Constitution, then Christian pastors who refuse to perform same-sex marriages “will be breaking

Few 2016 contenders have served. Does it matter? . . . Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have never served in the military. Neither have Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum or Bobby Jindal. And those are just the Republicans gearing up for a presidential campaign.
