Hillary's 9/11 Insult May Cost New York Rebuilding Bucks

Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2001 4:20 p.m. ESTHillary's 9/11 Insult May Cost New York Rebuilding BucksWhen it comes to spending federal dollars to rebuild New York City in the wake of 9/11's terrorist attacks, New York Senator Hillary Clinton wants all the help she can get from the Bush White House.But the problem for New Yorkers is their junior senator thinks she can insult President Bush in one breath - then turn around and demand that he bail out her state in the next.On Wednesday New York Democrats were agitated over rumors that Vice President Dick Cheney was lobbying Capitol Hill in an attempt to siphon off money earmarked for the city's 9/11 rebuilding effort.Rep. Jose Serrano, D-Bronx, told WABC Radio that one "horrible" rumor he's heard has the White House backing a plan to postpone reimbursing New York for its 9/11 expenses and raising the money later by cutting building projects elsewhere in the country."I was just on the phone with Senator Clinton," Serrano said, "who believes, as Senator Schumer, that we just have to continue to push this." But if Serrano and Clinton's fears are accurate - and the White House is indeed backing away from President Bush's initial promise to bankroll New York's rebuilding effort with a generous $20 billion grant - disgruntled Democrats have only Hillary to blame.Just last weekend, in some extremely ill-timed remarks for a senator who is looking for favors from the White House, Clinton seemed to fault the Bush economic program for the terrorist attacks that devastated lower Manhattan."If we hadn't passed the big tax cut last spring, that I believe undermined our fiscal responsibility and our ability to deal with this new threat of terrorism, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today," she told CNN on Saturday. And if that comment wasn't inopportune enough, she threw more partisan gasoline on the fire by adding: "We had eight years of prosperity because we paid down our debt and we got rid of our deficit. We hit a rough spot, and it was turned into a terrible bump because of the attacks of September 11." Who could blame the Bush White House if, after hearing Clinton's comments, it decided she was behaving like a politican who didn't need its help very much.Clinton's opponent during last year's Senate race, then-Congressman Rick Lazio, warned during the campaign that with the GOP still in control of the House and former New York Senator Al D'Amato gone as head of the Senate Banking Committee, New York was in dire need of a senator who had a good relationship with GOP leaders.New York voters didn't listen. Now New York state may pay the price for Sen. Clinton's partisan antics. http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2001/11/14/152414

    It is a shame NY'ers may have to do without the funds because of this evil, two-faced b*tch. She and Slick Willy ought to be tarred and feathered and exiled. But, they voted for her. At least The City did...

    I have relatives who live in NY and they told me that the only reason Hillary got elected was because during the primaries NY city mayor Rudy Giulianni(who was the favorite for the senate seat and a republican) had to withdraw from the race due to prostate cancer.Unfortunately he was replaced with a no name republican candidate,Mark Lazio,thus result in Hillary winning by name recognition,that and the fact that the scumsucking liberals in the city make up a large portion of the voting block.

    I think it's pretty funny myself, they got what they voted for, and that had to have been a majority of voters.I was always told:fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.well, shame on New York!-you wanted her, you got her!LOL-Ralph
    Nothing very, very good or very, very bad lasts for very, very long.

    Saying all of New Yorkers got what they asked for when Hillary was elected,is like saying ALL of the U.S.A. got what we asked for when Klinton was elected to TWO TERMS.

    Well, Josey, I didn't vote for either POS & I don't feel I got what I deserve, but all those who sat home bitchin about it afterwards & didn't actively work for the opposing candidates - much less vote - should have had *our* shares. Figure I suffered enough the last 8 years.

    First off let me say that it was a tragedy what happened & I feel very sorry for the family members of the victims. Why is my tax money bailing out NY? Why don't we grab all the terrorists bank accounts & the accounts of their supporters & let THEM pay for it. Also,why are my tax dollars being used for airline security?Is it so the airlines can make more profit?
