Hillary's pledge: "When I am President"
Advertisements [?]
I am watching Hillary's address to the DNC Winter Meeting on dnc.org

Did the primaries end already? Is Hillary the nominee?

She tried her best to tell the Party faithful what she thinks we want to hear.

Here are some quotes that stuck out for me ...

"Unfortunately, we still have a lot of poor people". (But let's not worry too much about them -- I wanna talk about the middle class ...)

"We need to start standing up for the American Worker again". By competing (not sure how) with China.

On Iraq, Hillary wants to "say no to President Bush" and "begin to reverse his policies".

"If I had been President in October of 2002 I would not have started this war"

She will tax oil company profits to develop alternative energy. Won't say how much.

"I know a thing or two about winning campaigns"

"We can find the right end to the War in Iraq" (but what is the right end?)

"You ain't seen nothin' yet" - maybe the theme song for her 2012 re-election campaign?

She should be respecting the primary process, but she is acting like the nomination is already in the bag. I don't hear any of the other candidates saying "When I am President".

Is this her strategy? Make everyone believe it's a done deal?
