Hillary Blames 9/11 Attack on Bush Tax Cuts

New York Senator Hillary Clinton said Saturday that she blames the Bush administration's tax cut program for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that leveled the World Trade Center and destroyed part of the Pentagon.

"If we hadn't passed the big tax cut last spring, that I believe undermined our fiscal responsibility and our ability to deal with this new threat of terrorism, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today," Clinton told CNN's Jonathan Karl.

In addition to undermining the country's ability to deal with terrorist attacks, Clinton said the Bush tax cuts worsened the economic downturn in the wake of Sept. 11.

"We had eight years of prosperity because we paid down our debt and we got rid of our deficit," she complained. "We hit a rough spot, and it was turned into a terrible bump because of the attacks of September 11."

Clinton also criticized the economic stimulus package passed last month by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

"I thought the plan passed by the House of Representatives was a fiscal disaster that would set our country back for years to come," the 2004 presidential hopeful said, adding, "I don't understand how they passed it with a straight face."

Clinton slammed Bush and congressional Republicans after telling CNN that "the fight against terrorism has to be such a united effort."

CNN's Karl did not ask Clinton about her husband's comments Wednesday, where he seemed to blame the 9/11 attacks on 19th century U.S. slavery and the mistreatment of the American Indian.

She was also not queried on accounts by former White House insiders who say her husband was too preoccupied by his extramarital liaisons to follow through on repeated promises to hunt down Osama bin Laden.

WRONG Hillary. The economic downturn was already showing it's head before your husband left office. Democrats leave a mess just in time to blame the Republicans for it, like a child who breaks a vase and points his finger at the child who finds it and says, "Look what he did, Mom!"

It was part of the setup.... they could blame the economy on our "Stupid" President, spin, spin, spin, and Hillary would of been "in" in 2004. 911 just showed us who has the "Right Stuff" and there was nothing the press could do to hide it. Just look forward to a lot more selective/biased reporting (BARF).

Hmmm, perhaps it was her Loser Husbands alottment of only 4 million dollars to fight this terrorism?

[dr_who]

What a stupid bitch.

[dr_who]

Bush ought to demand a public apology.

[loveliberty]

This post is a hoax, right????

If not, perhaps the very junior Senator from New York/Arkansas/Illinois may be ready for the funny farm.

Fact one:

Well established and entrenched terrorist cells in America, well staffed by persons who were capable of planning and executing multiple attacks on American soil which took place less than 8 (eight) months after the Clintons leave office;

Fact two:

The Cole;

Fact three:

Khobar Towers;

Fact four:

A former President who allowed all of these things to happen on his watch and did nothing to defend the liberty of his fellow citizens!

If these remarks were made, then, truly, "the Emperor (Senator) has no clothes" and should be exposed for her blatant attempts to "spin" a public that is weary of their "Boss Hogg" politics which insult the intelligence of most Americans.

There's an old saw about how "it's hard to keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree." Well, in this case, Mrs. Clinton may find that "it's hard to keep 'em believin' the lies after they've seen a real Prez."

CNN's Karl did not ask Clinton about her husband's comments Wednesday...

Of course not... has she ever been asked a tough set of questions by the media? EVER???

[alloysteel]

Now THAT statement reflects a realistic cause-and-effect relationship. Al-Qaeda was deeply offended by the probable prosperity that would come to America as a result of the tax cut, so they HAD to cut us down to size. Only because Hillary could not do the job by herself.

That's right, blame the victim because the perpetrator attacked them....

[dwollmann]

I've never seen Hill speak with a "straight" face. She has the blank, bug-eyed look of a professional liar who's studied all the telltale facial signals liars give away and works hard not to show them.

[Craig S. Leyh]

remember this is a cliton!

Hillary having a very bad HairDay over this. Time for a make-over at Bergdorf's.

[culpeper]

I guess if there is another tax cut aliens will invade the earth.

[jrlc]

Anyone seen Hillary HairDay today? Is the hairsyle male-oriented or female-oriented today?

[4CJ]

X42, by his lack of retaliation for each of those incidents, only emboldened the terrorists. With little to fear from the US, the terrorists finally devised a plan to attack within the US to get a reaction. They didn't attack the US because we cut taxes. What a maroon!

The liberals and the Democrats are as much an enemy of the United States as the Islamic terrorist America hating scum. Hillary Clinton is a sickeningly loathsome, filthy, lying, crooked, thieving, bitch that should be sitting behind bars if not hanged for treason along with her "husband", the cheap, greasy, tin-plated, cathouse maggot. You New Yorkers know what needs to be done about that dirty bitch and every other egg sucking liberal dirtbag whatever party label he or she is wearing.

"Is there someway we can freep this broom flying witch?"

She got "elected" without ever taking a tough question. She got "elected" by appearing in only well-screened, scripted events. The one (and perhaps only) time she ever recently appeared in a public forum (the VH1 awards) she got roundly and soundly BOO'ed. The "smartest woman in the world" surely won't allow that to happen again.

So, the short answer to your question is "no".

[anothergrunt]

You call that face straight?

[scooter2]

Let the b*tch flap her jaws. She's just digging her political grave deeper. I have a friend in New York who regrets he ever voted for her. I'm sure he's not alone.
