14. thats a mighty fine compliment..

being compared to Annie




In her life, Annie overcame poverty, mistreatment and physical injury with her determination and strength of character. She played a role in breaking barriers for women with her talent and accomplishments in her sport. She showed great compassion and generosity to orphans, widows and other young women.


and if Obama wants to try this....

In a celebrated event while touring in Europe, Wilhelm, Crown Prince of Germany, invited Annie to shoot a cigarette held in his own lips. Annie had Wilhelm hold the cigarette in his hand and not his mouth; she accomplished this challenge, as always effortlessly

15. Damn straight. Annie Oakley was an incredible woman.

Hillary should take that compliment and run with it ..... all the way to the White House. :D

[bigtree]

16. he looks like a hypocrite

. . . criticizing her for pandering in this primary contest.

He's guzzled beer, joked to one crowd about not being able to drink a beer at an appearance, milked a cow, danced, bowled . . .

Now he's comparing Clinton to Annie Oakley, despite the complaints by his campaign over folks comparing him to others. He's comparing her to the 'poor' orphan girl who rose to fame through her skills as a sharpshooter.

It's funny. Oakley was the victim of her smears in her own lifetime:


A burlesque* actress, trying to capitalize* on Annie's name, claimed to be Annie Oakley. The woman was accused of theft and cocaine use. William Randolph Hearst, newspaper publisher, printed that Annie Oakley was in prison because of theft and drug use.

Annie had worked hard for years to have a good reputation, and this woman by impersonating her, was smearing her good name. She had to do everything in her power to clear her name and show that the report was false. She sued newspaper after newspaper, 55 in all, and pursued them for six years. She won 54 of the cases. Hearst paid her $27,000, but she lost money because the pursuit had been so costly. Hearst hired people to try to find something in her past they could use against her, but they found nothing.

"The terrible piece ... nearly killed me," Oakley declared. "The only thing that kept me alive was the desire to purge my character."
