New York Sen. 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 extra-marital liaisons to follow through on repeated promises to hunt down Osama bin Laden.

She never was that bright.

I thought the terrorist attacks were a result of America's treatment of the Indians. She and Bill need to get their stories straight.
To: callisto
This article is a joke, right? I mean, this is nutty even for the Clintons.
If Hildebeast and Clintoon really made these statements, then I hope they just keep talking. No surer way people will realize what jack*sses they really are.

The headline is a little misleading, as she is really blaming our inability to respond to terrorism, rather than the actual attacks, on the tax cuts. Nonetheless, not a politically wise statement, especially since she represents New York.
To: callisto
Go ahead, Hitlery, keep running your mouth. The more she tries to bash Bush, the more she shoots herself in the foot. I heard about her last fundraiser where literally less than 20 donors showed up. This is the beginning of her political career's death spiral.

The correct answer is 'B'.
Hillary Clinton is to the Senate what a Fart is to a pair of Trousers.

The headline does not match the quote. In either case it is stupid, but she is clearly referring to this aftermath period, and blaming him for the economic situation not the attack itself.
This is pathetic journalism.
To: callisto
I think the attack was because of her afiliation with the black panthers. Hate is the problem.

She is blamin the attacks cause of a tax cut????? she is NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To: callisto
Sociopaths simply can't help themselves. She toned down her typical ranting rhetoric as long as she physically could in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, but she can't conceal her true Marxist colors for long.
Thanks for the article. Always good to be reminded of the enemy among our own.

To anyone on this forum who criticized me for calling her Satan's Daughter on C-SPAN, here is your chance to apologize. Here or FReepmail is fine.

hillary clinton is a stinking lump of excrement from the lowest form of life on earth. She resides in a dank, fetid sewer of human filth and degradation, wallowing in the putrescent muck and bodily waste of other low forms of life.
I posted this description for the other clinton, but one size seems to fit all.
To: callisto
I really like the way she opens her mouth, and then puts her foot in it.
