Hillary's Four Big Goals
In Hillary Clinton's new stump speech she outlines the four big goals she would have as President. As the NY Times says:
The four goals were largely thematic: “restore America’s standing in the world,” “rebuild America’s middle class and the economy to support it,” “reform our government” and “reclaim the future for our children.”
Largely thematic? Could they possibly be more thematic? This is why Americans hate politicians. They offer nothing concrete. Hillary is supposed to be a brilliant (although, in my humble opinion, tragically wrong) policy wonk, yet her goals are apparently to make America really awesome. Does she think she's running for Miss Teen USA? Hell, even Kang & Kodos offered something more concrete to the American voters (tiny American flags for some, abortions for others).
You know, despite the name of this site, I really don't mean this as a specific criticism of Hillary Clinton. Almost all politicians are like her. "A thousand points of light", anyone? I realize that America is full of stupid people (I do watch Big Brother, after all), but would it kill a candidate to humor the rest of us instead of insult us?
