9/11 tapes reveal raw and emotional Hillary Clinton

[Stonepounder]

Long, but well worth the read. This is the Hillary we are trying so desperately to get elected the first woman to be President of the U.S.

It was 26 August 2003, almost two years since 9/11, and the sickening plume of smoke that hung over Ground Zero in lower Manhattan had long since dissipated. But steam was rising from the steps of city hall, three blocks away, where Hillary Clinton was venting her rage at the Bush administration for having lied to the American people.

“I don’t think any of us expected that our government would knowingly deceive us about something as sacred as the air we breathe,” she said, her voice tightening in anger. “The air that our children breathe in schools, that our valiant first responders were facing on the pile.”

Surrounded by firefighters and the doctors who were treating them for respiratory and other illnesses incurred when they worked on the massive mound of Ground Zero rubble – the “pile”, as it was known – the junior senator from New York was incandescent. Audiotape recorded at the time by WNYC, the city’s public radio affiliate, captures a Clinton quite unlike the controlled public figure who is now a step away from the White House.

The Clinton who emerges from the WNYC tapes is passionate, raw and unrestrained. Above all, she is livid. She had just learned that the Bush administration instructed officials of the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reassure New Yorkers after 9/11 that the air over Ground Zero was safe. In fact, they had a pretty good idea that it was a toxic pall of asbestos, cement, glass dust, heavy metals, fuels and PCBs.

Ex-EPA boss Whitman offers first-ever apology for bad info on post-9/11 air quality: ‘People have died because I made a mistake’

She isn't kidding either, people have died. I suppose I should forgive Whitman, since she finally admitted it, something Rudy Ghouliani would never admit, but did the exact same thing. Both of them can go to hell as far as I concerned.

What upsets me, is that Hillary Clinton did a lot to help NY, in the days following 9/11. Air quality was definitely one, and she wrote the very first bill to get help for our responders, which eventually led to the The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act .

She also fought with Mitch Daniels who head of was OMB, for funding that was promised to NY after 9/11, but was never delivered. NY got it's money, thanks to her.

Tomorrow all his supporters will put on the patriot act, intending to vote for a guy, whose only help NY could count on after 9/11, was him filing claims for damages done to his buildings. That turned out not to be true, his buildings didn't have a scratch.

I'm too down in the dumps tonight, so I just want to thank President Obama and his administration( which includes Hillary) for making sure bin laden sleeps with the fishes. Hillary, you just have to win.
