Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed yesterday to change the United States so it's no longer an "arrogant power" that alienates the world.
"When I'm president, I'm going to send a message to the world that America is back - we're not the arrogant power that we've been acting like for the last six years," Sen. Clinton said during her first campaign stop in the Sunshine State.
"We want to be an admired country again in the world. There is a lot of work to be done," Clinton said to applause from a predominantly black audience gathered for her town-hall-style chat in the Liberty City section of Miami.
Clinton blamed the Bush administration for squandering worldwide goodwill in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
"It's very sad to me," she added. "We have to rebuild it because a lot of the problems we have, we can't solve on our own. It can't be solved just because we have the strongest military in the world."
In a sharp shot at President Bush's policy against bargaining with the terrorist-supporting nations Iran and Syria, she quipped: "I don't think you get very far in life if you just point fingers at somebody and say, 'We think you're bad. We're never going to talk to you.' "

Isn't ususally the leader of a enemy nation that wants to end American 'arrogance'? It sounds more like surrender negotiations.

I don't think you get very far in life if you just point fingers at somebody and say, 'We think you're bad. We're never going to talk to you.'This is pretty much a repudiation of the democrats' congressional strategy over the last six years, but I don't think she meant it that way.

"There is a lot of work to be done," Clinton said" Please, note how many times she will say exactly this phrase...one of those poll tested phrases, which "sounds like" something good, but has absolutely no meaning and defies any specifics.
"There is a lot of work to be done," Clinton said..."There is a lot of work to be done," Clinton said..."There is a lot of work to be done," Clinton said..."There is a lot of work to be done," Clinton said.

"When I'm president, I'm going to send a message to the world that America is back - we're not the arrogant power that we've been acting like for the last six years," Sen. Clinton said... Not If but When! And the election is more than a year away and she's not even been made the party nominee yet! Now That's ARROGANCE!
