Giving a speech for Silicon Valley CEOs in Santa Clara, Hillary Clinton stands at a podium, framed by a backdrop featuring the large slogan "New jobs for tommorrow", oblivious to the misspelling of tomorrow behind her.

Although she may not have mastered spell check, she portrayed herself to the 150 Silicon Valley CEOs as the hi-technology presidential candidate.

May 2007- Sen. Hillary Clinton attends a fundraiser held in her honor in Jefferson Parish, which is just outside of New Orleans, Louisiana.  Sheriff Harry Lee of Jefferson Parish served as a host committee member for the event. 

Sheriff Lee has been widely criticized for his actions after Hurricane Katrina.  When mostly African-American hurricane evacuees traveled across a bridge from New Orleans to the relative safety of Jefferson Parish, Sheriff Lee's deputies forced them to turn around and return to flood-ravaged New Orleans.  The Sheriff maintained that he and his deputies had “a duty to protect our people.”

The New York Times reported: "A Clinton campaign spokeswoman declined to comment on Mrs. Clinton’s views of Sheriff Lee’s actions in 2005 or on his fund-raising support." 

"It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few and for the few, time to reject the idea of an "on your own" society and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity." 

Bill & Hillary Clinton's Whitewater business partners, Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker and Jim & Susan McDougal, are convicted of fraud charges relating to small-business loans fraudulently applied for, and which partially paid for expenses of the Whitewater venture. 

President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, were not charged in the case, although President Clinton was called as a witness by his business partners. 

According to David Hale, who had originated the loans, Bill Clinton had orally requested that the loans be approved, but had specifically requested that the Clintons' names be kept off of all loan documents.  Hale also testified that during loan discussions, Jim McDougall had declared that the loans were for the benefit of the Arkansas "political family". 

The Clinton White House's director of administration, David Watkins, is forced to resign, after a Maryland newspaper reported that Watkins and two other Clinton Administration officials had used the President's helicopter, Marine One, for transportation on a golf outing.  

According to an estimate by the Marine Corps, the cost of the helicopter trip would have amounted to $4,760.

After the golf outing was reported by the Frederick News-Post, the White House initially defended the trip, calling it "a very appropriate mission," and claimed that the officials were scouting the course for a future outing by the President.  

Announcing the resignation, however, the White House press secretary admitted that the trip had nothing to do with any planned trip by President Clinton.

Revenge & Retribution 

The U.S. Senate votes 88-1 to confirm Michael Chertoff to a judgeship on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, and also votes 95-1 to confirm Viet Dinh as an assistant attorney general.

On both votes, Senator Hillary Clinton was the only "nay", despite voicing no opposition during the debate on the nominations.  

Six years earlier, Chertoff had served as the Senate's chief counsel in its Whitewater investigation.

Three years earlier, Viet Dinh had served as a staffer in the Senate Whitewater investigation and also previously served in the impeachment trial of Hillary's husband, President Bill Clinton.

May 2007- The Guardian (British newspaper) reports on the dilemma faced by Sen. Hillary Clinton on the vote to continue funding for American troops in Iraq through September.  Despite currently opposing the war, most Democrats supported the funding, fearing repercussions from the broad electorate if they were seen to be denying support to troops in a battle zone.  On the other hand, the most strident war opponents are a large voting bloc among the Democratic primary voters Sen. Clinton is courting in her run for the presidency, and they would not be pleased if she were to show any compromise on the issue. 

“I am not for imposing a date — certain withdrawal date, but don’t be mistaken, I am for ending this war as soon as possible.”

"The White House press corps grills the Clinton Administration's Communications Director, George Stephanopoulos over what The New York Times says "may have been the most expensive haircut in history."   

The previous day, Beverly Hills hairstylist Cristophe had been brought aboard Air Force One, which was parked with all engines running at LA International Airport.  It was later disclosed that Cristophe's bill totaled $200 for the President’s trim.

Standard security rules regarding Air Force One required two of the four runways at LAX to be shut down for nearly an hour, with some incoming commuter flights required to circle indefinitely.  

"Everybody has to get their hair cut," Mr. Stephanopoulos explained.

Seven longtime employees of the White House travel office are fired and replaced by friends & relatives of Bill and Hillary Clinton.  White House spokesmen alleged that the firings were due to a criminal level of financial mismanagement, a charge that was later found to be untrue.

First Lady Hillary Clinton portrayed her involvement as minimal, and denied any role in the firing decision.  She claimed that she had merely expressed concern to White House staff about the operations of the travel office.

In contrast, a memo written by David Watkins, the White House aid that carried out the firings stated, "we both knew there would be hell to pay'' if ''we failed to take swift and decisive action in conformity with the First Lady's wishes."  Another memo by Watkins quoted Hillary Clinton having said "We need those people out and we need our people in.''

In interviews with the General Accounting Office, which was investigating the scandal, the First Lady claimed to have no memory of the details of her discussions with Watkins.
