Clinton: Like Obama, Bush Talked About "Change" In 2000
CINCINNATI -- A fiery crowd welcomed Hillary Clinton at a campaign rally this morning where she slammed President Bush, saying that under his presidency "the American people got shafted."
She also suggested a parallel between Bush and her opponent Barack Obama, saying that talking "about change" doesn't necessarily translate into a successful presidency.
"You know people talk a lot about change in this election," Clinton said.
"We have lived through some of the worst change anybody could imagine over the last 7 years. Do you think people voting in 2000 knew what they were getting? I don't. People thought they were getting a compassionate conservative; and it turns out we got neither and we have lived with the consequences of those mistakes year after year after year."
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!" she added.
"Now more than ever we need a president we can count on, a president who's in it for you," said Clinton.
Clinton will hold another event in Ohio today before heading to Louisiana and Texas later this evening.
