Clinton meets V.A.'s Principi

(March 4, 2004) — Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., met Wednesday with Veterans Affairs Secretary Anthony Principi to discuss her concerns over V.A. hospitals in New York state, including one in Canandaigua.

Clinton, in a news release, said that she was pleased with Principi’s commitment to consider her concerns about the transfer of psychiatric beds from the Canandaigua V.A. hospital.

“With U.S. troops bravely serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, it sends exactly the wrong message to propose such drastic changes … without proper thought and deliberation,” Clinton said in the news release.

An independent federal commission has called for keeping the Canandaigua facility open, over the recommendations of senior Department of Veterans Affairs officials in Albany and Washington who wanted to close it.

The commission also recommended moving as many as 50 of the hospital’s 248 beds to V.A. facilities in Buffalo and Syracuse.

This OLD windbag is everywhere. Filling up that commander-in-chief portion of her resume.

THANKS!

As if that surprises anyone. Blame everything the Clintons screwed up on someone else. The Clintons are experts at doing that.

Yep she even thinks women in Iraq were better off under Saddam than under the US. That is provided they stayed out of Saddam and his sons way.Maybe they should have just issued the women birth control and not worried about it at all.
Where are the Commie Newspapers and womens lib groups on that issue.

They are such liars and frauds. And sadly, most Americans are easily duped by them.

Under their commie religion "we are gods" issues are the method of operation to take power unto themselves.

Hillry will regret claiming women under Saddam were better off, and will distance herself from that statement with changing the subject to President Bush is more evil than Saddam.

Yes and she will get away with it if we don't inject it a every opportunity because the Liberal Media will sweep it so far under the rug it will only be spoken in Chinese.
