Clinton Visits South Carolina

   Democratic presidential wannabe Hillary Clinton is down in South Carolina campaigning for support on this fine Monday.

   Right off the bat she has had to deny that her campaign paid money for an endorsement from a SC black politician who just happens to carry some weight in the state.

   I have to wonder about this deal myself, especially after Senator Jackson's consulting firm snagged a $10,000 per month deal with Hillary's group not to long after Mrs. Clinton got the endorsement. Jackson said that he could have made more money from other candidates.

                

 

    Clinton did chat with the AP today.

    Clinton, who spoke to the AP during her first trip to this early voting state since announcing her White House bid, also said South Carolina should remove the Confederate flag from its Statehouse grounds, in part because the nation should unite under one banner while at war.

"I think about how many South Carolinians have served in our military and who are serving today under our flag and I believe that we should have one flag that we all pay honor to, as I know that most people in South Carolina do every single day," the New York senator said.

"I personally would like to see it removed from the Statehouse grounds."

   Maybe Mrs. Clinton should just worry about her presidential bid and not about what kind of flag is being flown in a particular state of the union!

Iran Deny's Delaying Payments For Nuclear Reactor

   Due to earlier commitments, there will be no posting at this site until 6 PM this evening, ( EST ).

   I leave you with this concerning an earlier post about Iran not making nuclear power plant construction payments.

   Iran is denying that the payments aren't being made and has said that things will go on as planned.

AP   Iran broke the schedule of payments this year under the $1 billion contract, said a Russian official, who asked not be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media. He said the Iranians blamed the delay on the need to switch payments from dollars to euros.

But Mohammad Saeedi, the deputy head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, denied that Iran had been late in making payments.

"Iran has had no delay whatsoever in making payments for the Bushehr nuclear power plant to the Russian ... company," Saeedi was quoted as saying by the news agency, IRNA.

   We'll see what happens, will we not?
