Clinton: I must counterpunch
During an appearance on NBC’s “Today Show” this morning, Hillary Clinton said she’d rather keep the race between herself and Barack Obama focused on policy differences but that she also defend herself against his attacks.
“I try not to attack first, but I have to defend myself – I do have to counterpunch,” Clinton said on the show.
“I took a lot of incoming fire for many, many months and I was happy to absorb it because obviously, you know, I felt that was part of my responsibility. But toward the end of a campaign you have to set the record straight,” she added.

Feel free to set the record straight. How did you vote on the war? Did you stand against Nafta when you were getting that “experience” in the White House? Did that white house that “asked you about every important decision” consult you on whether or not to gut welfare? How did you vote on Iran? On Bankruptcy?
And while we’re setting records straight, who distorted whose record/positions on social security reform, abortion rights, Yucca Mountain, and the Iraq war first? Whose campaign has repeatedly cited teenage drug use only to “pull back” once the personal attack has had time to filter through the news cycle?
IMO…Dems have trouble…Down the road media and voters will focus….
On Clinton…..
Clinton promised to promote WNY to Corporate America and bring 250,000 new jobs and economic development into Western New York seven years ago.
Instead of promoting WNY to corporate America as promised, Clinton was running across American since that election promoting herself as President….end result, forgetting those in WNY.
By the time Clinton was running for her second term, Western New York LOST another 25,000 Jobs. 35,000 Homes have abandoned by people who have left WNY because they can’t sell them to buyers. (Source NY Times)
Clinton will be a “Lighting Rod” for the GOP Base with stories like this…....
On Barack Hussein Obama….........
Obama was just a “State Senator” a very, very short time ago. (Illinois) Obama was doing Park dedications, Baby Seat Laws and Street namings just two years ago…
Obama is looked by many as a “Motivational Speaker” who reads off the Tele prompter. Wet behind the ears….
This whole play you are seeing now between Clinton & Obama is a “Feel Good” play by the media. It will come to an end on Feb 5th.
