Clinton all about jobs in Indiana ad

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor April 22, 2008 12:00 PM


Hillary Clinton, hoping for a game-changing win today in Pennsylvania, is already looking ahead at the next showdown -- in Indiana in two weeks.

Her campaign launched a new TV ad today that is all about the economy. The official unemployment rate in Indiana rose from 4.6 percent in February to 5.1 percent in March, the same as the national average.

"I think this election, particularly here in Indiana is about jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs," Clinton says in footage taken from a speech last month in Indianapolis.

"She's ready to turn our economy around, stop tax breaks for companies that move jobs overseas, fix unfair trade deals, stand up to China, create five million new jobs," the narrator chimes in as images of Clinton meeting with workers appear on the screen.

"The next president has to begin putting the American people first. Your jobs, your health care, your futures," Clinton concludes.

  1. Wow, she is the biggest fraud! If she really were for putting American people first, as she is quoted, then she would be for stopping illegal immigration, and stepping up efforts to remove any and all illegals currently in our country.

    Anyone who votes for her is simply stupid or a lemming.

  1. Stop immigration? You're an idiot. That has so much less to do with how our economy runs, in fact, it helps the economy moron. Many immigrants are doing the jobs we refuse to do, yet we insist on treating them as less than human or scapegoating them when our economy tanks.

    Here's an idea, let's elect someone who erodes our credibility throughout the world, has gotten us into trillions of dollars in debt, stomps on our rights as citizens, listens to no one else's advice and has made damn sure his buddies got super wealthy while the rest of our incomes have stagnated.

    Oh wait, we just did that, and you probably voted for him. My conscience is clean, I didn't.
