Clinton Warns of Electing a President Who Is "Unready"
(CBS)
From CBS News’ Fernando Suarez:
WASINGTON, D.C. -- Hillary Clinton warned Americans of the risks that come with electing a president who isn’t up for the job. "We have seen the power of the presidency placed in hands unready or unwilling to address the tasks that lie ahead," Clinton said, referring to President Bush, and no doubt taking a veiled jab at Barak Obama.
She took time off the campaign trail in Pennsylvania to address the Newspapers of America National Annual Convention today. Both Obama and John McCain have already addressed the group of reporters.
Clinton teased the crowd of journalists at the beginning of her remarks saying that the speech was "off the record," meaning it could not be reported. She also joked that it is newspaper headlines that keep her in the campaign, pointing out the famous incorrect headline that read "Dewey Defeats Truman."
She concluded by saying, "Now I know that this campaign has gone on a long time, but elections do end and when the campaigns conclude and the banners are torn down and the speeches are finally finished, all that is left is the choice we have made."
