Hillary Clinton Compares Bush To Alfred E. Neuman

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton Attacks President Bush, Comparing Him To Alfred E. Neuman

Aspen, Colorado — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton went on the attack against President Bush in a speech Sunday, accusing him of damaging the economy by overspending while giving tax cuts to the rich.

The Democrat from New York also accused Bush of depriving U.S. soldiers of equipment needed to fight the war in Iraq and cutting funding for scientific research.

"I sometimes feel that Alfred E. Neuman is in charge in Washington," Clinton said referring to the freckle-faced Mad magazine character. She drew a laugh from crowd when she described Bush's attitude toward tough issues with Neuman's catchphrase: "What, me worry?"

Clinton, who was speaking during the inaugural Aspen Ideas Festival, organized by the Aspen Institute nonpartisan think tank, didn't mention the presidential election in 2008.

She said the United States should remain in Iraq until peace can be maintained by the Iraqi people, saying the mission was part of the "long struggle against terrorism" by the U.S.

"The threat of terrorism is as close as our daily commute," said Clinton, adding that people around the world admired the "famous resilience" of the British in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks.

When it came to the economy, Clinton accused the Bush administration of focusing on helping the wealthy while hurting the middle class, which she said has been key to Americans' success and stability.

She said the middle class is now being threatened by an ailing economy caused by the growing national debt, growing health care costs, the loss of pensions and the loss of manufacturing diversity. Clinton also said the U.S. needs to focus on exploring alternative energy sources to become less reliant on oil.

Re: Hillary Clinton Compares Bush To Alfred E. Neuman

The funniest part of this entire story is Hillary's blatant hypocrisy

First of all, Bush's goal was to make the tax cuts more EVEN...So, you make less, you get less back...You make more, you get more back...That's what fostered the notion that the 'rich' were getting a bigger 'break' :rolleyes:...And by the way, Hillary and her husband just happen to be among the 'rich' that benefitted...Do you think that either of them said, "No, that's okay...I don't want my tax cut, just keep it for the American people..."?...I doubt it...Give me a break...

OH...And 'overspending'?...It was Bill Clinton that used Air Force One to fly from the east coast (Washington, D.C.) all the way across the entire country to the west coast (VERY expensive, especially when you consider the fact that Air Force One is escorted by fighter jets...Have you ANY idea how much it costs just to take those things out of the hangar?!...Much less, fly them all the way across the country and back...), had the airport in California shut down for 2 hours (even MORE expensive) just to have his hair cut by a famous Hollywood hairstylest (also, quite expensive)...Which was ALL paid for with taxpayer money.....That's just ONE example of the ridiculous ways that the Clintons wasted OUR money...

And I'm not EVEN getting into the Whitewater scam...

I suppose that the Clintons think it's okay to waste taxpayer money, when it's for their own personal gain...

On the other hand, Bush Sr. would have a barber come to the white house, once a month, to trim his hair for $10, out of his own pocket...

This one is REALLY good, as she didn't seem to mind when her husband cut military spending, more than any other president in history (as well as raising taxes far higher than anyone in American history)...To the point that our military was virtually crippled, leaving us nearly defenseless, just before the 9/11 attacks...Which caused Bush to have to INCREASE military spending just so that we could do what we're doing in Iraq right now.....So, which is it, Hillary?...Either Bush is spending too much on the military, or too little...You have said BOTH (at different times...I suppose it depends on which fits the situation better at the moment)...You can't have it both ways, because it just doesn't make sense...Those types of discrepencies will cause people to question your honesty, integrity, intelligence and motives...

So, who would she compare her husband to?...Larry Flint?

When Clinton was offered Bin Laden THREE times, before the 9/11 attacks, he didn't want him...Who was saying "What, Me worry?" then?...Clinton was obviously oblivious to what was going on with Bin Laden, or he simply didn't give a shit, because he apparently had more 'important' things on his agenda...

She changes her mind on this one from time to time, too...Interesting to see where she stands on this issue THIS month...

HaHa...Health care?...I'm surprised she had the nerve to even MENTION that one...Oh well, I suppose she figures that enough time has passed for people to forget that SHE was handed the 'Health Care situation' while Clinton was in office...And that she was going to be responsible for 'reforming' health care...After a year, when she had done NOTHING, she simply kept saying that it was "going to take time"...Yet, when BOTH of Clinton's tems were over, and she had still accomplished absolutely nothing concerning health care reform, she simply let it go and forgot about it...I suppose WE were supposed to just forget about it, too...Well...I haven't...

Wanna know what's really good about THIS one?...This was a HUGE concern while CLINTON was in office...This issue was discussed MANY times...EVERYONE knows that it's a concern, as it has ALWAYS been...So, why didn't she or her husband do anything about it?...And how can she say that someone else should be doing something about it, when they failed to even address it, other than to say, "It needs to be done"?...While they, were doing nothing...


Damn...I'm sorry about the huge rant...But...This chick is BEYOND ridiculous...

Those of you who may not be able to understand my animosity towards her, obviously didn't see her sitting in the crowd, rolling her eyes and showing her VERY obvious hatred for Bush, while he was standing on the site of the fallen Twin Towers, addressing the nation, and showing compassion and sympathy for the family members of the people who were killed...

Hillary can hate and mock whoever she wants, there's NOTHING wrong with that (except that the way she did it that day, made her look like a defiant, spoiled, 14 year-old...)...BUT, that was NOT the time or place for such a juvenile display...She should have been more concerned with what had happened there, to all those people, to our country, instead of being so consumed with her own personal feelings...

Hillary Clinton is disgusting...

HaHa...CNN?...Try CNN, MSNBC, and FNN...

I used to be VERY (too) involved with this stuff...Until it all became far too ridiculous to even watch and listen to...

I seriously try to distance myself from it now..


BUT...People have to be informed...We have to be aware of what's really going on around us...


Information is a powerful weapon

Ownage! You just saved me about an hour typing up a rant about that wretch! :)


I hate Hillary Clinton. (Not literally hate, but she's a fucking idiot.) If she won the Presidency, I'd be filing for Canadian citizenship the very next day.

Then again, I have distaste for almost every politician in Washington. You can watch them talk and just see that they are lying to us through their teeth.
