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.

Geez, how Low can ya' go???...

[anniegetyourgun]

I don't know how she speaks with a straight face.

[Bikers4Bush]

Again you can tell that the skank is lying because her mouth is moving.

The American people get more empathy from Vladmir Putin.

Apparently, Hillary's ghost writer is also working for Chelsea. She was quoted in the Denver Post last Friday, saying,

"I worried that with the Republican tax cuts, we wouldn't have enough money to repair New York and D. C. and to help the families of the thousands I knew must have died."

When do left wing extremists like the Hilldebeast, The Chelsealips and the X42 lie to the American people!

[sockmonkey]

How do you spell Incredulous?

"When do left wing extremists like the Hilldebeast, The Chelsealips and the X42 lie to the American people"

Because the media allows them to get away with it. Kind of like a child who is not spanked by their parents. They do stupid crap because they know they will not get punished.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The fruit does not fall far from the tree. At least we know she is Hillary's daughter...

[samuel_adams_us]

I do know why Hillary's eyes are brown. It's because she is full of sh..

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

The woman is a certifiable buck-toothed idiot. She is absolutely one of the most despicable persons to ever walk on this planet.

[NC Conservative]

How come eight years of inattention to the military and intelligence have nothing to do with Sept. 11th Hillary?

[Anamensis]

She's a twit to be sure, but I don't see anywhere in her comments where she actually blames the ATTACK on the tax cuts. She blames the economic downturn (which is now exacerbated by 9/11) on the tax cuts, but not the terrorism.

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

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!"

[samuel_adams_us]

Is there someway we can freep this broom flying witch? I am surprised the people of New York haven't hanged her yet!

BUMP!

Hillary embodies the essence of a low-class bitch! Sorry folks but that's exactly what she is. I still can't believe that NY elected her to office. As a New Yorker, it makes my blood boil. She adds nothing and does not represent me in any way. I sincerely hope she goes away ASAP.. and makes cookies for Bill and Chelesa (by the way, I'd get a food taster, Bill). Her husband, who we in NY are also saddled with, is who really got us in this fix. It's wasn't the economy stupid! It was your liberal, stupid husband killing our intelligence agencies' abilities to do their job while you, Hillary, huged a terrorist's wife!
