LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former First Lady Hillary Clinton addressed the question of political dynasties on Thursday with a one-liner that she hoped would allay concerns over two families dominating the White House for decades if she becomes president next year.

She's also claiming that B Clinton had to clean up the Bush Sr mess.. More likely that B Clinton had to capitalize upon the programs that Bush Sr put into place because I dont recall Clinton cleaning up much.

Exactly! I have a pretty decent memory that Bush Sr. left the country in a pretty strong position. Not to take away from Bill, he did a good job of keeping things straight and no one can argue we had a great economy under him. But the stage was set by Bush. Too bad his kid didn't ask for a bit of help...

I remember the stock market crash in 87 while I was in college (end of Reagan's administration), and then not being able to find a job after college in 1990 and then having more trouble in 92 after graduate school... as ignorant and selfish as that sounds, this is what I remember about Bush I. When I did find a job, in mid 92, I garnered huge bonuses because the work started really cooking starting in 1995. So for me, personally, I don't remember Bush I putting the country in a strong position for me economically.

I've got a bumper sticker ready to go if Hillary wins the Dem nomination.

Right to left, mug shots of Bush I, Bill, Bush II, and Hillary. Caption: ENOUGH, ALREADY.

Give me a break. That is such a tired played out Republican excuse. The last thing the Republicans should be doing these days is invoking EITHER Bush's legacy.

I think it's awesome that she said that and delivered it very well too, I might add. I don't understand all the Hillary bashing anyway. I've been on her website reading her plans and how she plans to pay for them and I'm very impressed. I had to sign up for Obama's site which I don't want to do so I haven't read his. But she knows where our problems are and what will fix them. I'm a registered Republican but the days of voting b/c of party affiliation are over for me. I wouldn't vote for ANY of the Republican guys unless someone was holding a gun to my head! The country wasn't in as bad a shape after Bush I as it is now with Bush II but Clinton was a good president and did some really good things for this country. I don't care who the man sleeps with. There are very few folks in this country who can afford to fling stones. We need to look at the economic mess the US is in and elect someone who will fix it. Like it or not, Clinton had the best record in that department. I don't want to hear about the Rep. house then either. He had to fight tooth and nail to get things done b/c of those Rep. I am researching both Obama and Clinton and will make a decision. Don't care if he's black and she's a woman. I'll vote for the one who I feel will help straighten this poor country out!
