Clinton looks past Obama and faults Bush
By BETH FOUHY
Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK -- Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton celebrated her collection of Super Tuesday wins and looked past Democratic rival Barack Obama to take a swipe at President Bush and his Republican allies.

"You know tonight we are hearing the voices of people across America, people of all ages, of all colors, all faiths and all walks of life," she told supporters on Tuesday.

The New York senator is seeking to become the first woman president, while Obama would become the first black president.

Clinton did not direct any criticism toward the Illinois senator who is now her only remaining Democratic rival, instead focusing most of her attention on President Bush and his Republican allies.

"After seven years of a president who listens only to the special interests, you're ready for a president who brings your voice, your values and your dreams to your White House," she said. "And tonight, in record numbers, you voted not just to make history but to remake America," she said.

9. Clinton didn't pop up her head once to lead an opposition to Bush the last 7 years.
NOW she wants to claim she IS or she WILL? Uh ---- when and on what? You were supposed to be doing that from 2001-2007, SENATOR.

7. As it should be, a prelim to kicking Gramps' ass.
Obamabots, does she have to criticize Obama to get street cred here, or is it just nothing to whine about?

13. No, but she would criticize someone who's actually running in November.
Bush isn't running.

20. I just don't see how you can post things like
Hillary winning smarter and more liberal states, implying that Obama's winning stupid and red ones, and another thread about how Obama supporters are more divisive then Hillary supporters, then have the audacity to say that I'm being a dick for criticizing your candidate.

Not bashing, just criticism.

We should be able to do that civilly, without calling each other names, like "dick".

22. I'm tired of the vitriol form the Obamabots
on these boards trying to intimidate people to change their view and just spreading lies and bullshit daily here. I never wanted to use ignore again, but there is so much hate for Hillary (and now Bill ) here, it is nothing like what I signed up for years ago or what I contribute to.


We're supposed to put up a united front against the Right, not slice and dice our own candidates.

And if you didn't see the irony in my threads tonight, or how the Obamabots attacked relentlessly, I'm wasting my breath. At least you'll see this before the "x" reactivates.

24. It happens on both sides. You're only seeing one side because you support Hillary
It warps your perception. I know because all I can see is the ugly attacks on Obama.

But a few weeks ago, when I had no dog in this hunt, I could see it was both sides.

And I'm sure it still is.

10. Your voice, your values, and your dreams.
Ya know, for some reason I like that better than "Yes we can hope and change." :)

12. Even if you win, Hillary, you're not going to be running against Bush
How about taking a swipe at McCain?
