Clinton strikes a nerve with Bush

Sen. Hillary Clinton just launched her first television ad this past week in Iowa. The ad's message is simple: President Bush doesn't care about working-class people, that they are "invisible" to him and when she(Hillary) is president, those people won't be invisible anymore. The ad promises that Hillary cares about the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and wants them home safely. She promises to provide everyone with healthcare, and promises to provide affordable education for children, so its no a financial burden on their parents and so everyone has the opportunity to earn a great education.

To most, Sen. Clinton addresses the key issues facing America today, but the White House clearly doesn't think so, responding with the following concise statement:

"I think it's(the ad) outrageous".

We could have done without that memo Mr. President. We know you think taking care of our troops is outrageous, we know you think that everyone having healthcare is outrageous, and we know that you think that every child getting a good education is outrageous.

In all seriousness, its ridiculous to see the Republicans jump on everything Hillary says, simply because her last name is Clinton. Any other presidential candidate could have released this ad and it would have gone by un-noticed. But the name Clinton has long been a fear of the GOP, and it seems that again they are trying to bury it. They weren't successful before and they won't be successful now.
