Sen. Hillary Clinton wasted no time blasting President Bush's State of the Union message Tuesday night, saying his speech made it clear that "he still wants to take us in the wrong direction."
In an email sent out by her fundraising PAC minutes after the speech ended, Mrs. Clinton took the president to task for his comments on health care.
"I can tell you from the people I have spoken to . . . that few Americans, if any, would find relief from the Bush assortment of flimsy band-aids and 'private account' gimmicks," she complained.
Clinton said Bush's policies "offer nothing but more of the same - help for those who need it the least, and everyone else is left out in the cold."
"George Bush may have had an election year conversion about the importance of health care, but as I listened to his State of the Union Speech tonight, it's clear he still wants to take us in the wrong direction," she griped.
In a separate press release picked up by JustHillary.com, Clinton blasted Bush on his energy policy, saying: "President Bush's message tonight was loud and clear: youre on your own."
"Everyone is on their own to deal with rising energy costs in the absence of a real plan by the President to meet our long term energy needs," she insisted.
Although Mrs. Clinton opposes both nuclear power and drilling in ANWR, she urged: "We need to make a real commitment to achieving energy independence and to invest in energy research and development that will help us finish the job."

And I guess everyone thinks her "I'm running against Bush even though he's not running again" clap trap is new?
Geez, when are these people going to figure out that campaigning against a man who isn't running is about as stupid as you can get?

Public health care is equal to public housing.
Mrs. Clinton wants us all to line up for her socialist health care. If it ever comes to pass, are there any doubts that she will NOT receive the same treatment as us?
Another great example of "Do as I say, not as I do."

Kerry would be every bit as bad as Hitlery, don't kid yourself. The only difference between them is gender, although it's extremely difficult to tell that.

She obviously did her due dilligence in considering the Presidents remarks and how they may affect her constituents, being that she waited minutes to criticize them.
The "we need to go in a different direction" schtick is going to kill them when they can't answer "In what direction should we be going?" Uh.. mmm, you know different.

I suppose when she found out that most americans would absolutely not vote for her for prez, she now can go back to her normal leftist self. I was one who never believed she would ever be prez, despite dick morris claiming such

"The only time I saw any democrat enthusiasm was when they wildly appluaded themselves for doing nothing about social security."
I know, can you believe they actually went on "visual record" that they were willing to see ss die rather than cooperate with GWB?
I said out loud, "there you are, America, that's what you keep sending back (to DC) to trash your future".

Bush could have given the Gettysburg Address, Brutus' speech to the masses, and Washington's farewell address all at once and the Hildebeast would criticize it. She would criticize it if she never heard it.

OK, Hillary other than oppose everything that Bush is doing give us specifics about what YOU would do if (God forbid) you become president. Don't like the Iraq war?...tell us what YOU would do. Think the economy is bad?...tell us what economic policies YOU would pursue. Quit bitchin' and give the people some answers.

I dislike how Democrats talk but say nothing. What's a "real plan"? Which way is the the "Wrong direction"? What "job are we finishing"? What does she mean but being "left out in the cold"? What does "nothing but more of the same " mean?
Maybe the communists, like Hitlery don't want to say out loud, we need to increase taxes on working people, and extra tax married people to give this money to pigs that don't work, obey our laws or speak English.

1600 Pa. Ave?
I thought they looted that place when they moved out. Wasn't that enough?

You are either part of the problem, or part of the solution, Hillary.

Aren't the words "Hillary" and "trash" in a single sentence superfluous?
