Seeking black and female votes yesterday, first at Rutgers University and then before the Rev. Al Sharptons political organization, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton used housecleaning imagery to swipe at President Bush and praised the Rutgers womens basketball team as teaching her and others a lesson
Mrs. Clinton, Democrat of New York, criticized President Bush at several points, particularly over Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts and Iraq, which she called this war that he deliberately started. But for the most part she used personal examples and metaphors to advocate for blacks, women, gay men and women, the poor, the old and the young.
Before Mr. Sharptons group, the National Action Network, Mrs. Clinton promised to champion government reform and drew applause by talking about womens cleaning up messes made by others.
When I walk into the Oval Office in 2009, Im afraid Im going to lift up the rug and Im going to see so much stuff under there, she told a few hundred black political figures and others at a Manhattan hotel.
You know, what is it about us always having to clean up after people? she added. But this is not just going to be picking up socks off the floor. This is going to be cleaning up the government.

Hillary with the Justice Brothers! Wanna bet what her shakedown payment was? I don't think she has the upper hand over them!

The government is going to be cleaner because the MSM Press is going to fall into lock step.

I know—I just KNOW that one of her opponents is going to ask her about those FBI files that she had in the WH.
She’s gonna clean up government—LOL! That’s a good one.

I think the problems with leaks and such are the DIRT that have been left under the Bubba Clinton rug...
THOSE are just dirty problems..they are treasonous and have affected the national security.
Those nasty white trash people should NEVER get that close to the White House ever again.

A full blown hypocrite is Mrs Bill Clinton....Unbelievable, does she think we the people have no memory of her last administration?

She should know, she put it there.
Probably old Vince Foster evidence, etc.

If you put your ear o the ground, you can hear John Kerry and Al Gore heading (back) into the race. Hi**ary sucking up to these people isn't going to help her with the Whitey vote.

After all the scandals and corruption of the Clinton years, does she really believe that many voters believe these kinds of statements from her????

SLAP in the face, if you ask me, talking in terms of "housekeeping" by a woman who probably doesn't know one end of a dustpan from the other, or how to sweep, mop and dust, in that order.
SLAP and a big dissing of the "blacks" for treating them like household slaves and using terms they can understand.
And none of the lackies will pick it up because it's Hitlery who's speaking. But you let one Republican use the same terminology in a room full of black people and the Media would blast it from here to kingdom come.
I still contend that Hitlery is going to fade away before the Democrat National Convention.

What a laugh — one of the most corrupt and criminal politicians ever preaching “cleaning up Washington”. She will probably put Billy in charge of the “cleanup program”...LMFAO...yes, it would end up as a “pay to play” socialist politburo with only ONE PARTY — the socialist party (ex-Democrat party) -— nice and clean with no dirty ole Constitution to get in the way of socialism. LMFAO.

If you remember the little episode with the White House travel staff...her initial first 60 days will make that episode look minor. There will be over a thousand GS workers given their walking papers...so that team Hillary can come in and do her good work. It shouldn’t be a shocker when she even demands a clean-up of the secret service staff...putting her own people on their staff.
