Says Policies During Husband's Term Left U.S. In Good Shape

(CBS News) MUSCATINE, Iowa -- Hillary Rodham Clinton assured Iowans on Thursday that she isn't asking them to turn back the clock in her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, only calling for a return to policies and values that served her husband's presidency well.

Speaking to more than 1,000 people at a sweltering rally in a park overlooking the Mississippi River, Clinton said she was committed to moving forward while reaching back for policies that left the nation in a better position to deal with its problems. Some of her critics have accused Clinton of wanting to return to the era of Bill Clinton's presidency.

"You don't go back in America," Clinton said. "If you're smart, you carry with you the values that have worked in the past."

After eight years in the White House and seven in the Senate, Clinton said she is the best person to lead the country. Key to her efforts would be balancing the budget, said Clinton, noting that the nation ran a surplus during her husband's two terms.

"Six and a half years ago, we had a balanced budget and a surplus in America," Clinton said. "All of that was squandered by the Bush administration."

She said soaring budget deficits have colored every policy decision facing the nation, forcing cuts to domestic programs and making it difficult to bargain with China and other countries that lend the United States billions of dollars to finance the U.S. deficit.

Clinton questioned whether the United States could seek tougher trade sanctions against China when it's economically beholden to the nation.

"How do you get tough on your banker?" she asked.

She pledged to put the country on a firmer economic footing.

"There's nothing conservative about squandering a budget that was in surplus," she said.

Later in the day, during a rally that drew nearly 1,000 people in Ottumwa, Clinton criticized President Bush's claim to be conservative.

"I think the only description of him is radical," Clinton said. "He is a radical departure from presidents of both parties."

She also vowed to continue campaigning in Iowa well after the state's leadoff caucuses in January. She said she wants the narrowly divided state to go Democratic in the next election.

"We want Iowa to be bright blue in November of 2008," Clinton said.

Clinton wrapped up the four-day visit to Iowa in Fort Dodge, where more than 1,100 people packed a western-themed reception hall. She garnered loud applause when she spoke about her desire to end the war in Iraq and withdraw troops.

"They have done the job they were asked to do in Iraq," Clinton said, adding that the U.S. military has gotten rid of Saddam Hussein and given the Iraqi government time to form and make decisions about the country's future.

"The Bush administration needs to tell the Iraqis that if they don't start making those decisions, then they aren't going to get any more aid from us," she said.

Counting on massive loss of American's memory, due to flouride in the water.

i can’t wait for the 2009 swearing in ceremony when hillary is holding the bible and billy boy has his right hand raised and is smirking “who says you can’t serve three terms anymore.”

[Congressman Billybob]

The "values" of the Clinton Administration? When the President was corrupt, and the Attorney General was corrupt? And the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development was corrupt? And the Secretary of Commerce was corrupt? And the Secretary of Interior was corrupt?

And that's just in the top ranks of the Clinton Administration. Well, she's right about one thing. She is so corrupt in and of herself, so those "fine old days" will be brought back if she lies her way into office, the way that her husband-in-name-only, did.

And this is good for the nation in what way?

She should be very afraid of the past. The skeletons are all out there. She neglects to mention the ongoing terror attacks, the constant scandals, or the recession in the last year of his administration (due to his tax increases).

Lying, Treason, rape, sexual harassment, murder, corruption, pardoning traitors for money, lying in front of a grand jury, selling the Lincoln bedroom for illegal campaign donations, pardoning terrorists, travelgate, white water, chinagate, not doing anything to fight terrorists......man my fingers are getting tired.

[GRRRRR]

I don’t know if the country can survive another 18months of this idiot and her campaign...she just spews lie after lie and the Lame Media can’t get enough of her and her rapist.

"If you're smart, you carry with you the values that have worked in the past."

Aren't her values based on not being able to recall the past?

[ozzymandus]

Not afraid of the past? Only because no MSM “reporter” will ask her an honest question. Ask her about Juanita Broderick, Vince Foster or Marc Rich.

reaching back for policies that left the nation in a better position to deal with its problems.

Oh yea, we really need a return to this.

This is what Clinton policies gave us.

Chinese anti-satellite missiles.

Islamofacist human missiles.

Whoever the Republican candidate is needs to take off the gloves and beat the poo out of the lying vile witch.

I hope your wait is long, tedious, hot, dry and painfully fictional! :-)

That past she’s reaching back for is a lie...nothin’ but.

Hillary Not Afraid To Reach Back Into The Past

Ummm,, With Sandy the Burgler, she already reached back in the past and destroyed a lot of evidence that she was fearful of.

“Therefore, the American people have wisely established a custom against allowing any man to hold that office for more than two consecutive terms. But every shred of power which a President exercises while in office vanishes absolutely when he has once left office. An ex-President stands precisely in the position of any other private citizen, and has not one particle more power to secure a nomination or election than if he had never held office at all, indeed, he probably has less because of the very fact that he has held the office.” - Theodore Roosevelt

Hillary Rodham Clinton assured Iowans on Thursday that she isn't asking them to turn back the clock in her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, only calling for a return to policies and values that served her husband's presidency well.

Let’s see. What might those ‘policies and values’ be?

• The President hosted more than a hundred fundraising dinners in the White House in which he solicited, and received, huge financial contributions from our ideological enemies.

• The First Lady made a mathematically impossible fortune in cattle futures, virtually overnight.

• The President consistently ‘invented’ principles of law for no other reason than to delay or avoid prosecution.

• Friends of the President, the Lippo Group’s John Huang and James Riady, gained illegal access to classified material at the Commerce Department.

• Subpoenaed documents (the First Lady’s billing records, documentation of the White House Travel office firings, etc.) disappeared.

• 900 personal FBI files of the President’s political opponents were illegally obtained and reviewed by Craig Livingstone.

• The White House obstructed the FBI’s investigation of Vince Foster’s office, following his ‘suicide’.

• The Vice President and the First Lady’s chief of staff solicited, and received, millions in illegal campaign contributions.

• Under presidential direction, sensitive missile and satellite technology, secure communications, high-tech machine tools, and supercomputers were transferred to Communist China, primarily by two American companies (Hughes and Loral), both of which were heavy contributors to the President’s campaigns.

• Under presidential direction, the deployment of an American missile defense system was road-blocked, leaving us vulnerable to the very ICBMs that he was helping our enemies produce. American military manpower, materiel, and equipment (especially ships and aircraft) were also cut by roughly one-half.

• Under blatantly unconstitutional presidential directive, nearly two million acres of barren, undesirable, completely non-historic state and federal land were declared a ‘national monument’, thus preventing the mining of one of the largest deposits of clean coal in North America -- the only other major alternative source of clean coal being owned by the Indonesian Lippo Group (among the fortunate, living ‘friends of Bill’).

• The President hired a squadron of lawyers, often providing them White House offices and government salaries, so that they could perform large amounts of personal legal work for the Clintons.

• The President engaged in oral sex in the Oval Office with a White House intern.

• The President sexually assaulted a White House volunteer, the wife of a deceased friend.

• The President committed and suborned perjury, and concealed and destroyed evidence.

• The President and his operatives saw to it that those who remained silent about his crimes either received lucrative jobs or promotions, outrageous ‘consulting fees’, or pardons ... while, at the same time, they demonized and ruined the lives and careers of those who came forward with the truth.

• The President was very possibly indirectly complicit in the execution-style murders of intern Mary Mahoney in a Washington, DC Starbucks, and Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, who mysteriously received a bullet hole in the back of his head during a ‘plane crash’ in Croatia.

• The President raped Juanita Broaddrick.

• The President sexually molested Paula Jones.

• As a result of their acquaintance with him, and possible knowledge of his character flaws, many of the President’s friends are dead.

  There's not a contender in the race, or on the horizon, who could ever dream of matching the 'policies' and 'values' represented in that resumé. And Hillary has the nerve to remind us of it by daring to run on the 'values' it represents.
