Hillary Clinton veers left in search of the Democratic base

Hillary Clinton angrily condemned the bleakest results of Barack Obama’s economy in a recent speech, but didn’t dare say who was responsible for them.

“What would Robert Kennedy say about the fact that still, today, more than 16 million children live in poverty in the richest nation on earth,” she said in an address to an elite, well-fed crowd in a Manhattan ballroom at an awards gala to honor the slain Democratic presidential candidate.

“What would he say about the fact that such a large portion of economic gains have gone to such a small portion of our population,” she continued, and so little to poor minorities that make up the core of the Democrats’ liberal political base.

Fearing a left-wing cabal is building a campaign to draft Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts for the presidential nomination, Mrs. Clinton is retooling her message to reconnect with a party that may be turning against her candidacy.

Other presidential hopefuls are waiting in the wings to challenge her in the party primaries: Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Sen. James Webb of Virginia, Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont, a socialist, and maybe more to come.

Hillary’s main problem is she sounds as sincere as Marie Antoinette.

A political guillotine would be too merciful for someone of her ambitious nature.

Hillary can ask all the rhetorical questions about what Robert Kennedy would think. But she cannot escape the fact that a liberal Democrat has been president for the last six years. If a good liberal Democrat such as Obama has not solved these problems to her satisfaction, what in the Sam hill would she be able to do about these issues? Why would electing another radical liberal Alinskyite make a difference in tackling problems with poverty and the economy?

I’m betting the country does not want a third Obama term.

Halloween before last we found, and bought an absolutely perfect replica of Hillary Clinton in an animated tabletop witch. I want to get that witch on the internet in all her animated glory. I will learn how, and post it someday.

He wouldn't say anything - he's dead.

Just because the dead can still vote democrat doesn't mean they can still talk.

Being a liberal dimocRAT he would say, "let's throw more of other people's money at the War on Poverty." Most responsible people would say, "that program is another failed piece of crap, let's cancel it."

Hey black pant suit…are you dusty…worn by Rodham…are you crusty?
For two decades…you have lasted…you’d not squeeze her big butt if sometime she fasted

You had touched the…evil lady…when the softballs…came from Katie
Once you thought you’d…really lost ‘er…when she took you off to dump her boyfriend Foster

You were there for…depositions…she proclaimed them…inquisitions
There was comfort…you’re providing…on the day the billing records she was hiding

Are you wool or…polyester…Carville may know…go ask Chester
You can’t fit a-…round her belly…you need washing…Pakistanis say you’re smelly

Please be honest…was she plastered…when she screamed “You F.J. Bastard”
Did she hurl…when she read “Leaves of Grass” was given to that porky girl
Would you welcome the excitement…if you’re worn to her indictment
And by chance…do you think you’d survive if she should wet her pants

Wait a minute…is “exquisite”…what you hear when…lezbos visit
Have you had a…corsage clipped on…like a blue dress please tell us, have you been dripped on

Were you out in the Rose Garden…Bill was late and...begged her pardon
We know there was…trouble plenty…she learned what he did with his Arturo Fuente

I remember Ronald Reagan once said, “The democrats are so far left, they have left America.”

No, the hag has simply steered back on course. She’s heading for her true home.

today, more than 16 million children live in poverty in the richest nation on earth,

I don't know a single rich person whose net worth is negative 18 trillion dollars.
