Hillary Clinton Blasts GOP 'Plantation'
NEW YORK -- Sounding a little like a preacher, a fired-up Sen. Hillary Clinton lambasted the Bush administration and the Republican-controlled Congress during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, predicting the presidency "will go down in history as one of the worst" and saying the House of Representatives is run like a "plantation" where dissenting voices are squelched.
"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about," Clinton, D-N.Y., told the crowd at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem. "It has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an argument, to be heard."
Speaking to a group of Hurricane Katrina evacuees in the audience, Clinton offered an apology "on behalf of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you." Her remarks were met with thunderous applause.

Could be her own beliefs or just to appease the left wing of the Democratic Party. A sign at least that she is at least interested in national politics, but more evidence must come in to prove presidential aspirations. Namely, she has to form some kind of exploratory committee, raise money, form an national organization, and actually campaign.
She is the defacto leader of the Dems as President Bush for the Republicans. Alito was a bone thrown to the right, and this speech was one to left of the Democratic party. President Bush might seem like a hard right conservative but he is more center right, and Hilary was left winger who go religion when she realized the country abandoned liberalism. My observation is that she will run away as fast as she can from any hard left wingers now and forever; resting comfortably in soft center of American Politics.

Actor and activist Harry Belafonte made a late, but extremely well-received, entrance.The "useful idiot", in all sense of the phrase.
