Hillary to stay at Taj

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will kickstart her much anticipated visit to India from Mumbai. Clinton, the highest-ranking American official to visit the country since Barack Obama took charge, will be in India on July 17 for a five-day visit.

In what could be a reaffirmation of the United State’s support to India in its fight against terrorism, Clinton will stay at the Taj Mahal Hotel, one of the places targeted by terrorists during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

Clinton will fly into Mumbai in a special military aircraft. According to the final itinerary — subject to last-minute changes — prepared by US officials in consultation with their Indian counterparts, Clinton and her delegation of top US officials will land in Mumbai at around 9 p.m.

Clintons join Biden to back Obama

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
Hillary and Bill Clinton launched a campaign blitz of the blue-collar heartland that will decide the White House race, beseeching their supporters to make Barack Obama president.

The couple, making their first double-barrelled campaign appearance for Obama on Sunday, dominated Democratic politics for a generation, but now are supporting players, after reconciling Hillary Clinton's bitter nominating defeat.

"This election is too important to sit on the sidelines of history," said the former first lady, calling on her legions of working class and women voters to take up the banner of the man who beat her "It took a Democratic president to clean up after the last president George W. Bush, it's going to take a Democratic president to clean up after this President Bush," Clinton said in a working-class corner of swing-state Pennsylvania.

Hillary asks Bush to skip ceremony

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has urged President George W. Bush to boycott the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies this summer unless China improves human rights.

Hillary, in a statement, cited violent clashes in Tibet and the lack of pressure by China on Sudan to stop "the genocide in Darfur".

"At this time, and in light of recent events, I believe President Bush should not plan on attending the opening ceremonies in Beijing, absent major changes by the Chinese government," the New York senator said.

Bush plans to attend the Summer Olympics ceremonies in Beijing in August and so far has resisted pressure to change his plans in response to a violent crackdown against protesters in Tibet by Chinese authorities.

China has also been accused of refusing to use its influence on the Sudanese government to get it to stop what the US calls a genocide in the Darfur region.

Hillary has gone a step further than US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California who last week urged Bush to keep the option of boycotting the ceremonies on the table.

"I encourage the Chinese to take advantage of this moment as an opportunity to live up to universal human aspirations of respect for human rights and unity, ideals that the Olympic games have come to represent," Hillary said.
