OMG- she wants to "take" profits from private companies!
Don't you "take" enough in TAXES already?!?!?
Keep talking, Hitlery, keep talking......
Hmmmm, seems like the stockholders might have something to say about that.
You bet. Let's focus on the $39.5B in profits and not mention the $25B already paid in taxes. Let's also not mention that this profit amounts to only 10% of revenue -- right in line percentage-wise with any other business.
Her comments show her true colors -- all money belongs to the State and can be taken away for whatever the State wants.
The fact that millions of retirees depend on those profits via pension funds, 401k's, and IRA accounts doesn't matter a whit. Nope. It's "obscene profits" that obviously benefits nobody but fat white males sitting around smoking cigars and eating caviar.

DNC WInter Meeting: Hillary Clinton On The Stump
Standing ovations: 3
Used notes: Yes.
Introduced by: DNC treasurer Andy Tobias
Subtle Theme: I'm Hillary Clinton.
Overt Theme: I'm Hillary Clinton, and even though I'm in Congress, that's OK, because we're going to hold Pres. Bush to the fire. Also: I'm Hillary Clinton.
Bragging: "I'm Hillary Clinton." "I'm not here to today just to start a campaign." "I grew up in a middle class family in the middle of America." "If I had been president in October of 2002, I would not have started this war." "If we in Congress don't end this war by January of 2009, as president, I will." "I expect to busy in the White House in January of 2009." "Lifetime of experience and qualifications." "We can elect the first women president."
Playing to the crowd: Thanks the DNC members and state chairs. "Hello Democrats!" mentions "universal health care.:" Proposes putting oil company profits into a strategic energy fund. "I am not running for president to put band aids on our problems." "fighting for more than 35 years"
I know a thing or two about winning campaigns." "When our pary and our candidates are attacked, we have got to stand up and fight back."
Cliches: 'I'm in, I'm in to win." Becaue we need ot take our country back. We need to work together. Put the country "back on the right track." "Things are just not right." "We need to start standing up for the American worker again." "I want to renew that promise of America." "We're working to push this agenda forward."
"People are tired of politics as usual, with good reasons." "We may even be falling further and further behind."
Discordant note:: Voice climbed into a yell five times.
Uses of the word "affordable"
Howard Dean suck up: Thanks her "long-time friend" for "helping to lead the charge" in '06.
Self-deprecation: obligatory health care reference
Blooper: Mentioned "band aids," a trademarked curity strip brand, rather than "health strips."
