Clinton Says She's Grateful to the President

By The Hill
In this clandestine video from a fundraising dinner, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) tells the audience and host Barbara Streisand that she is grateful to President Bush for the aid he directed to New York City following the September 11 terrorist attacks.

"This is one area that I really am grateful to the president for." Clinton said.

Clinton and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) asked President Bush for $20 billion for New York several days after the September 11 attacks when Bush had requested money from Congress to repair the Pentagon and pursue al Qaeda. Bush agreed to grant New York the money.

"He kept his word, we did get the money. And I really appreciate that," Clinton added.

By The Hill
In this recent campaign video, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), a staunch anti-war White House hopeful, criticizes the president's continued war policy.

"We are at a moment in human history where we have to make a decision whether we are going to go deeper into war or whether we are going to take a stand on behalf of peace," Kucinich says, "I've determined a long time ago to take that stand on behalf of peace."

"We cannot let this administration go any deeper into this journey into destroying Democratic governance, trashing our Constitution, forgetting the very purpose of this nation," he added.
