AP: Clinton Tells Ky. Dems Bush Mismanaged War
December 3, 2005
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton accused President Bush of mismanaging the Iraq
war and claimed his domestic agenda has taken the country off course in a speech
Friday night to Democrats in a state that solidly backed the Republican president
last year.
About 2,000 people cheered the New York senator as she accused Bush of ignoring
an ailing health care system and rewarding tax cuts to the wealthy while piling
up deficits.
Clinton headlined a party fundraiser that brought in $600,000 for Kentucky
candidates as Democrats try to reverse gains by Republicans, who hold the governor’s
mansion and all but one of the state’s congressional seats.
Clinton, who is running for re-election next year and is considered a possible
presidential candidate in 2008, targeted the president’s handling of the war
for some of her sharpest criticism.
