Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) said yesterday that there are risks in sending bills to President Bush that cut off troop funding in Iraq and that passing such bills may not be possible.
Clinton, taking questions following a speech to the National Jewish Democratic Council, was asked by former Rep. Martin Frost (D-Texas) what “the chances are” Congress will be able to send such bills to Bush, get them signed or override an expected veto.
“I think it will be extremely challenging if at all possible,” Clinton said.
Clinton put the blame on Bush, criticizing the president for not being willing to work with Democrats on tactics for getting out of Iraq.
“You know as well as I do how difficult it will be,” Clinton said. “[Bush] is a very hard person to deal with on these issues.” Clinton also cautioned that Democrats “don’t want to be blamed” for cutting off funding for troops in harm’s way, acknowledging the political risks of such a maneuver.
Clinton and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (D) rounded out the third day of the National Jewish Democratic Council’s first annual forum yesterday, both offering strong defenses of the U.S. alliance with Israel.
Clinton had clear loyalties in the room, receiving two introductions instead of the customary one and taking the stage saying she felt like she was at “a family reunion.”
Clinton spoke of her relationships with certain of those in the audience as well as her commitment to protecting Israel.
Clinton was also asked about what kind of role former President Clinton might play in her administration.
“There’s going to be a lot of work for him to do around the world,” Clinton said, stopping shy of recent pledges that the former president would serve as “ambassador to the world.”
Richardson devoted most of his time pleading with the crowd to look at his résumé and not his fundraising or his opponents’ “rock-star” status.
Richardson also said he wanted to see many debates, more than the six the Democratic National Committee has planned. The governor said such debates put all the candidates on a level playing field, as some “zillionaire” candidates are raising amounts of money that others can’t compete with.
“Frontrunners shouldn’t be afraid of debates,” Richardson said.
Reminds me of that time that Barbie said “Math is hard.”

Why would Bush “work with” people who want us to lose?
Monica said that Bill was hard to deal with.
Rather inflexible?
Does he insist that “the help” not look at him or speak to him?
Does he throw ash trays?
Does he call the heroes who guard him “hired pigs”?
Will he trash the nations White House when he leaves?
(the b*tch.)
''A hard man nowadays is good to find.''
I belive that is because President Bush doesn't want want to fly the white flag of surrender. Hillary does. God forbid she and Slick ever get back into The White House.
That is what a scam artist complains of when someone doesnt buy into their lies.
On the other hand, the Chinese found the Clintons very easy to deal with when they compromised more than a little of America’s critical military technology.
Good reminder. Why don't most rember this.
If she’s not busy plotting her next move for whatever is most politically expedient, she’s projecting her nastiness onto others. It is the summation of her & BJ’s careers.
This is a badge of honor for Bush!

The left hate anyone with resolve, especially if they are on the other side of the fence.
I guess there’s not much in his FBI files? Huh?
Why “blame” the Dims. for cutting funding for the troops? Senator Pinky Reid, Democrat, has declared we have lost the war./sarc.
Sounds like Hillary’s having a bad day with her ‘Bush Tourettes’. Time to get her meds adjusted.
The smartest woman in the world has no understanding of principleI can't picture her as the smartest... The smartest would know what is best for the country... :P
This woman is evil. Pure unadulterated evil.
