Sen. 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.

You too, pal.
I am SO retired!!!
During Hillary's First Lady position, she used millions of taxpayer's dollars to campaign in New York, including air force campaign stops, and logging these trips as "duties" as the First Lady...
Hillary's billing records dissapeared from the computer system of her employer, the Rose law firm. Then two years later they mysteriously turned up inside the white house living quarters with her fingerprints on them...
She opposes vouchers for poor parents who may want to send their children to private schools, while she sent Chelsea to a private establishment... hmmm...
-One of Hillary's strongest issues is Education. when Bill was Arkansas governor for eight years, she oversaw all the educational programs. Arkansas went from 49th to 49th in the national rankings. Mississippi was 50th.etc,etc..
You don't even have to do a darn thing for a state, even live there, and they'll elect you senator!I didn't know that until I watched the people in NY vote her in as senator.
WalMart sure carries the book....prominently displayed at a Superstore in Jane, Mo.
Buy it, read it, pass it on!
Mail at ya.
LOL! A charm school candidate :)
I was in a hurry last week but I saw a lot of interest in the book by browsers as I walked by.
What nerve this rabid b!tch has ...

I don't think I can handle the witch running for president - I'll murder every TV and radio in my house!
Rodham needs to take a douche. 'It' is starting to smell like a bus station toilet
New intern.
I find it amazing that Hillary refers to Alfred Newman. The hate Bush websites started using that character with jabs at Bush a few weeks ago. They have been appearing all over the place on the internet. Makes you wonder just who is orchestrating the abuse of the president? Is it coming from her staffers using the internet to do this?
Ah, the Aspen Institute. Figgers.
Windmills kill birds and bats, forests burn, animals will be displaced by oil fields. When will the enviro nazis be put in their place?
Hillary never says anything new. She's just a parrot who needs a hood.
And now that you mention it, does Hillie fly commerical or does she take private jets? What kinds of vehicles shuttle her wide load around? I doubt she's squeezing that behind into a compact. Boy, is there a campaign commercial here :)
Amazing - I guess she knows that her base will not bother to check the facts about the economy and discover that it's in great shape. Even standup comics try to stick closer to real facts when they do thier skits.
