No other opponent from a Democratic primary has done more for the nominee than Hillary Clinton. She and WJC stumped for O-Biden in Pennsylvania yesterday.
In urging voters to back Obama, Clinton called this period in our nation’s history “an all-hands-on-deck moment” and told voters that if they turn out for Obama in Scranton, then the Democrats will win Pennsylvania and in turn the White House.
“We are in a financial crisis in America,” she cautioned. “And it is a crisis born and bred by failed Republican policies, championed by George Bush, John McCain, and the Washington Republicans. To President Bush and John McCain, middle class families sinking into debt are invisible. We can help Americans losing their houses. But we can only do it by if we make sure the Republicans lose the White House come November.
“When this crisis finally hit Wall Street and big financial firms came calling, well, suddenly, oh my goodness, President Bush and John McCain and Republicans, they snapped to attention,” Clinton continued. “A big bank is going to fail? Well, bail it out. A big financial firm is going to fail? Bail it out. A big insurance company is going to fail? Then bail it out. Well, what about the millions of people losing their homes and their jobs every single day? Where is their bailout?”
WJC made the case for how hard Hillary has worked, but reminded everyone that it all comes down to who’s got the best ideas.
“If you ask yourself who has the best ideas, who’s got the best instincts, who’s got the best ability to understand these challenges, who’s got the best supporting cast,” Clinton continued, “the answer is Barack Obama and that’s why Hillary’s here, that’s why I’m here, that’s why you’re here!”
Hillary is in a league so far beyond Sarah Palin, who continues to get all the attention, especially now that she’s been found to have abused the power of her office as governor. But her press coverage really reminds you of the differences in the way Republicans see women, compared to Democrats. Palin’s looks are the foundation of her star power, along with her relationship with the camera. Hillary, a handsome woman in her own right, is primarily known as a powerhouse because of the effectiveness of her policy prescriptions, her years of learning, acquired knowledge and accomplishment, along with her unrivaled achievement in making the case for what she believes is right for this country, which millions of voters supported. Few have made a better case for O-Biden than Hillary, who has no rivals on the political scene today.
