Clinton blasts Bush for trying to 'undo New Deal'

AUSTIN -- U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., today blasted President Bush and his "radical" administration for attempting to dismantle the "central pillars of progress in our country during the 20th Century."
Clinton, in an interview with two reporters, said she had become convinced the Republican administration wants "to undo the New Deal," the Roosevelt-era policies that ushered in Social Security and a host of other governmental assistance programs.
She said she was surprised that Bush, who campaigned as a "compassionate conservative" in 2000, had taken such a hard-right turn after moving into the White House.
"I don't know where it came from, but the fact is that this President Bush has not only been radical and extreme in terms of Democratic presidents but in terms of Republican presidents, including his own father," she said.
Clinton, who later signed copies of her book, Living History, for hundreds of people waiting in line at a downtown Austin book store, continued to insist that she won't jump into the race for next year's Democratic presidential nomination.
But she said she believed that Bush was beatable because his administration was "making America less free, fair, strong, smart than it deserves to be in a dangerous world."
"We have to change direction before irreparable harm is done," she added.
"This administration is in danger of being the first in American history to leave our nation worse off than when they found it."
Clinton criticized Bush for policies ranging from health care to environmental protection and energy and suggested the administration had underestimated the commitment necessary to rebuild Iraq.
The wife of former President Bill Clinton, who is serving her first term in the Senate, has been frequently mentioned as a presidential candidate, and some have tried to draft her for 2004.
Clinton, who hasn't ruled out a possible presidential race in 2008, said the talk was "flattering" but insisted, "I just stand on trying to do a good job (in the Senate)."
She has been touring the country, signing copies of her best-selling book as well as raising money for her reelection campaign in 2006 and for other Democratic candidates and causes.
On Thursday night, Clinton attended a fund-raiser for her reelection campaign hosted by Austin advertising executive Roy Spence, a longtime friend of the Clintons.
Oh, how I wish this were true.
She has been testing the waters for months .. that's why she had this book tour
It's just a different version of the town meeting and listening tour of the past
Amazing, inn't it? Sadly, I doubt there's anyone whose free money has stopped flowing in since Bush took office.
