Senator Clinton: Republicans should apologize to America
Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), lamenting the end of her presidential run but anticipating the ascent of colleague Barack Obama (D-IL) to the office, made sure to get some shots in at the GOP.
"I can't wait to see Barack raise his hand, take that oath of office and get to work," she told 3,000 delegates at Chicago's American Federation of Teachers conference on Saturday.
"Our president goes to Japan four months before the election that will finally show him the door and says he's going to take global warming seriously," the Washington Post quotes her. "Then as he's leaving the G-8 conference, says to people around him, 'Goodbye from the biggest polluter world in the world.' You've got to ask yourself, how did this happen to our country?"
"A vice-president who shoots somebody in the face, you couldn't make that up," she added, as a "highlight" of the two-term Bush presidency.
The Republicans, she continued, "should hold a press conference and apologize to the country and say they're just not going to run anyone for president."
The union, reports CBS 2, is expected to endorse Senator Obama today.
