WEST PALM BEACH - America's leaders don't have a vision, and the economy may be on the brink of collapse, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday.
The chance to invest in a national energy policy may be lost because President Bush is looking the other way, and flaws in the American health care system are going unaddressed, Clinton said. But somehow, she manages to be hopeful.
Clinton, D-N.Y., spoke at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach before a gathering of Brandeis University alumni and the public, charming the crowd with her views on a Bush administration whose strategy, she says, is to turn a blind eye when they don't have an answer to a serious question. "I don't see that thoughtful, visionary direction that got us where we are today," she told the crowd of hundreds. "The history of America is . . . to make sacrifices today for a better tomorrow. The progress that then occurred moved everyone forward. "That progress is at risk today," she said. "I believe that on both political and substantive grounds, my husband did it just right," she said, referring to former President Clinton. "The deficit reduction act didn't get one single Republican vote. He took on the gun lobby with the Brady bill. He took on health care."
Among her goals: a plan to extend the life and health of social security, a budget with discipline and health care reform. "I think the economy is standing on a trap door, and I don't know that we necessarily hold the levers," she said, astonishing the crowd with the fact that the United States borrows $50 million each month from other countries. Outside, a man holding a giant poster didn't need to hear Clinton to be charmed by her. "Hillary 2008" read his sign, which was complete with a border of red and white bumper stickers announcing the same message.
When a member of the audience asked Clinton what her role in the 2008 election would be, she didn't answer, but remarked that the Democratic Party has a lot of work to do. "I think there are a lot of very capable people on the horizon."
"The history of America is . . . to make sacrifices today for a better tomorrow. "
Yet they are not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to address problems with SS but will bash Bush because he realizes the system needs to be fixed and has offered up a plan to fix it.
By the way Hitlary. Your husband didn't get it right. He left a lot of himself on ML's dress. Poor shot in my book.

The Almighty Hildabeaste NEVER answers the hard questions. She is truly evil!
I'm sure UBL thinks so considering Toon went out of his way to avoid harming a hair on UBL's head.
charming??????
I don't think my parents, God rest their souls, would be as quite. As a matter of fact, thinking back, I know they wouldn't have been.
A bunch of libs are "charmed".
"Senator Clinton, in light of your husband's disgraceful history of infidelity, do you intend to divorce him?"
Progress towards a disarmed socialist American Leviathon with her at the controls.
National energy policy - conservation and rationing? What's the point of that? Only when the market drives prices high enough to make recovery of energy stores from the ocean basins economically viable, shall we have plentiful supplies of energy. Right now, the US is importing LNG from overseas sources (because pipelines to transport the natural gas are impractical over transoceanic distances), but the technology could be as easily applied to refining Methane Hydrate from the ocean bed and transporting the LNG to ports.
LNG could prove to be the non-polluting, clean fuel for future internal combustion engine design, as it is free of sulfur, has high energy density, and is probably safer to handle in volume than gasoline or Diesel fuel. The infrastructure would have to be built up over the next several decades, but reliance on petroleum as a fuel would be transferred to methane collection and compression to a liquid.
LNG remains a liquid below -260 degrees Fahrenheit, and so long as it is transported in tanks capable of maintaining that temperature, is safer than gasoline. The technology for transferring LNG to smaller tanks would be much like that already employed for filling propane tanks. Refueling vehicles would involve swapping out full tanks for empty tanks, the amount being determined by weighing both the removed tank and the replacement tank, and the difference calculated.
We have the technology today. It is a matter of making the distribution of LNG economically feasible. When the price of petroleum is high enough, people will shift to the next alternative.
Her husbands visionary direction was looking down,staring at Monica`s hair.
63 million American's have a vision. You're in our mental cross-hairs Hillary. Go ahead. Show us your vision? We'll be happy to pull the trigger at the ballot box. Run Hillary Run.
Bill and Hill were in there for 8 years and accomplished nothing for the American people, made the Democratic Party unelectable for years because the majority of Americans do not want to put up with their irresponsibility, their law suets, their sexual escapades, the waste of money on lying under oath, the questionable murders, the lack of response on terror, the lack of support of our military, and the list could go on. Why would anyone want to support a Democrat????? I think that the Clinton's stunk up the party for decades to come.
"That progress is at risk today," she said.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower left a legacy of highways, John F. Kennedy the excitement over space exploration, and Lyndon B. Johnson created the legal framework for civil rights, Clinton said."
I'm rather curious as to why she didn't mention in her progression of Democrat presidential legacies, the fact that William J. Clinton also left something for the future, a stain on Monica's dress?
Is she talking about the two for one preseidency of the 90s. Patting herself on the back as it were.
"the economy may be on the brink of collapse..."
What we need is a MASSIVE tax increase!
