Judging from her rhetoric and new economic plan, Hillary has evidently decided she’s gonna have to be the reincarnation of John Edwards to take out Obama.
In a speech to General Motors workers and executives, Clinton trumped Obama’s own economic plan from a day before and appeared to be channeling former rival John Edwards’ populist anti-corporate message.
“For seven long years, we’ve had a government of, by, and for the special interests, and we’ve had enough,” the New York senator told an audience at a General Motors plant that she toured here. “It’s time to level the playing field against the special interests and deliver 21st century solutions to rebuild the middle class.”
She said she would rein in oil, insurance, credit card, student loan and Wall Street investment companies and generate $55 billion a year that would be used for middle class tax cuts, create jobs and pay for an array of domestic programs.
$55 billion a year?????
Ohmygoodness! I wonder what she means by “rein in”? Can’t find any specifics, but frankly, John Edwards’ “populist message” was a huge turn-off for Polimom… and judging by how well he did before dropping out, I’m not the only one.
Hillary just took a great big pandering step wayyyyyy over to the left side of the liberal spectrum, and I really don’t think that’s gonna work well for her here in Texas. Not only that, but she just made it much, much easier for the Republicans to beat her if she takes the nomination.
Bizarre.
Added: And to top it all off, she accented her speech today with blue boxing gloves (CNN has an image)! Too funny…
