Clinton: "I'm Not a Show Horse"
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Hillary Clinton returned to the Palmetto State after taking a few days to campaign in February 5th states and her message to voters this time was simple, "I'm not a show horse, I'm a workhorse and I will go to work for you." Although this veiled jab at Barack Obama isn't new, its revival indicates a plan by Clinton to push that message from now until Super Tuesday.
Clinton came to Greenville to discuss the economy, a bread and butter issue that remains a great concern for most voters. She gave a similar version of her economic speech today a few weeks ago in California where she called for a 90-day moratorium on home foreclosures as well as immediate tax breaks for middle class Americans, something she did not originally support when she laid out her plan in California.
She also took another veiled shot at Obama when she discussed the impact a lagging economy has on American families.
"The American people don't hire a president to talk about problems, but to solve them, to set a vision for the future and then to roll up our sleeves and get about fulfilling them. It's time we had a president that leading an economic comeback is a full-time, hands-on job."
Clinton's remarks come just two days before the South Carolina primary where polls show her trailing to Obama.
