WASHINGTON (CNN) — Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday, her spokesman tells CNN. The announcement will take place at a news conference on Capitol Hill, just blocks away from the DNC headquarters. Forester will “campaign and help him through the election,” the spokesman said of her plans to help the Republican presidential nominee. Forester was a major donor for Clinton earning her the title as a Hillraiser for helping to raise at least $100,000 for the New York Democratic senator’s failed presidential bid. In an interview with CNN this summer, Forester did not hide her distaste for eventual Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. “This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.” Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Forester is a member of the DNC’s Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London and New York.

So what? What is the big difference between McCain and Obama? Both of them are puppets of the establishment--have you not figured that out yet? That is the reason and the only reason why either of them are at the top of their respective tickets in the one party fraud that has been foisted off on us.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Yes, I agree that neither would be where they are if they weren't backed by the criminal elite. However, the endorsement of a slime like the rothschilds makes the case for a more corrupt McCain.
I am amused she can be such a hypocrite. She splits her time between London and New York and no doubt is choosy with whom she rubs shoulders with and she thinks Obama is an elitist. She is one of those who will look for any excuse when they don’t get their way, and obviously was with Hillary because it was a personality thing, not because she agreed with her politically. This is a shame, but I hope the door doesn't hit her on the way out. Plenty of people are not supporting McCain for much the same reasons she gives for not supporting Obama, so she is not unique.
With a name like that, she deserves a good ass-whuppin'.
Definitely Obama's fallen out of favor. Love merger of the year takes place at Turnberry Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, 70, and Lynn Forester, 46 Lynn Forester was a successful entrepreneur in her own right before she brokered the deal of a lifetime last year, marrying Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, who sits atop one of the world's oldest private banking families. http://www.forbes.com/2001/06/27/wealthy_6.html Forester met the 70-year-old scion at the 1998 Bilderberg Conference, an exclusive summit for financiers and foreign policy experts, which was held in Scotland that year. The duo had a small wedding in London last November, and the very next day Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and his wife Elizabeth hosted a dinner for the couple to celebrate, with then-President Bill Clinton and wife Hillary in attendance. Forester now heads the Luxembourg-based wireless broadband venture FirstMark Communications Europe. The startup launched in 1998 with great fanfare, raising $1 billion in funding and landing former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Washington consigliere Vernon Jordan as board members. But with losses piling up and a public offering pulled, investors are now disgruntled. Not to worry-- there's no better backup plan than the Rothschild name. http://www.forbes.com/2001/06/27/wealthy_6.html
It is completely meaningless to anyone who has ever used their heads as anything more than a place to wear a hat who endorses any scumbag when you know, or should know, that is what they are. And just because she endorses one of them doesn't mean he is any better, or any worse, than the one she didn't endorse. Truth be known and if it didn't look too obvious she would probably say they should take turns being President.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. You don't know anymore what the truth is of the matter than I do.
I know all I need to know about McCain and Obama. And I don't presume to know what you do, or don't, know.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Now, now Mike, calm down. You are being much too sensitive, OR do you entertain just a tad of doubt in your own mind?????
I really do like Barack Obama a great deal. He strikes a deep chord within me. I have full faith that I am correct in my choice of whom to vote for.
A Rothschild says this? There's a word for that...
Have a banana, Hannah
And the Rothschilds are known for being populist men of the people.
