Why no outrage over Hillary blaming Gore for her failure

[Araxen]

at not creating those jobs in NY? Pretty sad excuse to blame her inability to create jobs on Gore. If she promised them it shouldn't have mattered who won the Whitehouse. Who will she blame if she doesn't create all those jobs she's promised while in the Whitehouse? Putin? Iraq?

1. I did not see it as blaming Gore

I actually thought it was a compliment to him, and kind of funny.

[Abacus]

7. Me too. /nt

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

2. She blamed it on Bush, but nice try.

[BootinUp]

17. no charges against her surprise me anymore

:eyes:

28. On the Simpsons they once coined the term "outrage coordinator"... and it has come to pass

[maddiejoan]

3. Uhm

She didn't blame Gore.

She blamed Bush.

[DJ13]

4. She actually blamed Bush

But I still dont remember her actually trying to get Gore elected in 2000, do you?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

6. I believe she did some appearances with Gore.

I remember his "Hillary Clinton, I'm fighting for YOU" line at some event.

[Yael]

5. Outrage belongs to camp Hillary now

I think the rest of us have come to expect that kind of comment from her. Its NEVER her fault -- always someone else's.

[Bluebear]

10. Please, yael.

I respect your posts. Don't fall into this, she was blaming BUSH, not Gore.

[Yael]

14. Hi Bluebear

I didn't mean to be a snark.

I took it that she could only hold to her promises if Gore was President.

She is basically saying that she gave up because her guy didn't get in. Thats not what we elect senators to do!

I may have misread it.

15. PS

How I miss Edwards in this race :(

:hi:

[Yael]

25. The debates are just noise anymore

His passion is what made them interesting.

Me too. :(

31. Here's the exchange; she did blame Gore for her failing:

NBC News personality Tim Russert tried to call Clinton on her claim of creating five million new jobs in Tuesday night’s debate, noting that when she ran for senate eight years ago, she pledged to bring 200,000 new jobs to New York but instead there was a net loss of 30,000.

“I thought Al Gore was going to be president,” Clinton said. “I will have a lot more tools at my disposal {as president.}”

8. i'm glad DU welcomes all kinds of people

even stupid ones, who don't know what humor is, and how to take it

[Barack_America]

9. I think she blamed the American people...

...for not voting for him in larger numbers (yes, yes I know he won the popular vote)

You know, just like all of these deluded idiots who are voting for Obama. (please note sarcasm)

[weezie1317]

11. Not at blaming Gore, but counting on a huge "if" and silently putting that "if" into her promise. ()

[Araxen]

12. I stand corrected then

but she shouldn't have been silent about the "if".

[From The Left]

13. As a New Yorker

Hillary blew across New York state, promising the moon and over the past 7 years, delivering very little. She can blame whomever she wants, but the fact is, the only people who got a leg up in New York with Hillary in the senate are the Clintons.

[MagickMuffin]

19. Where did all those earmark dollars go....

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton helped secure more than $340 million worth of special projects for her home state of New York in last year's spending bills, according to a new study by a government watchdog group.

That's a lot of pork.

Who benefitted?

[mtnsnake]

16. There's still time to edit your post, now that you've been corrected on it

No sense letting headlines like this float around

[shadowknows69]

18. I don't know if I mentioned it last night

But I was a little taken back by that. I'm pretty sure she forgot to tell us(NY) at the time that it was conditional.

[HeraldSquare212]

20. "If the conditions are perfect, I will deliver 200,000 jobs to upstate New York."

[shadowknows69]

34. She said this when and where?

[rodeodance]

21. good gawd, get your facts straight before you post more foolish stuff.

[Exultant Democracy]

22. Sounded like she blamed Bush to me. Isn't like Gore lost Bush stole it. I support Obama but not that

it is bullshit.

[anamandujano]

23. Hillary was praising Gore by saying he would have had a decent if not

excellent economy.

Everyone knew Bush was going to screw up royally, but no one could have imagined the extent he would trash the economy.

Just recently, in one of her speeches, she said Gore would have been the best president of all time, or words to that effect.

[goldcanyonaz]

24. Oh dear. I know we're all not on the same team, but I did assume we were on the same planet.

I guess that's what I get for assuming.

:rofl:

[wildflowergardener]

26. not blaming gore

I didn't see it as her blaming Gore. I think she was just saying what a better job Gore would have done at helping to create jobs in New York.

The senate can only do so much with a president like we have now - with Bush vetoing everything - and even worse with the Republican house and senate that we had.

27. Maybe because it was nothing to get outraged about?

[Arkansas Granny]

29. Simple. Because she didn't blame Gore.

[kid a]

30. yep..she was quite right on that one - bush FLA and supreme court can take the blame

[KoKo]

35. oh give it time. In less then a year after obama loses if he gets

the nomination people in here will be saying the same old tired chit they were saying after 00 and 04. We need a fighter. We need someone with experience. We need someone that will turn this country around....On and On it will go.....and then people will be blasting Gore cause he did not fight...Be blasting Kerry cause he did not fight. Be blasting Obama cause he did not fight.....

So folks you had your chance to pick that fighter but some of you have ben fooled by the silver tongue devil, and once you get past the speech, there is a hollow man......


Hell, on November 5th Don't blame me I voted for the best qualified who happened to be a woman...
