Over at Hillary is 44, they're discussing this article and they don't think Hillary is talking about the Tea Party here. They think she's talking about somebody else. I'm sure y'all can guess who!

Getting elected will bring candidates propelled by the tea party “down to earth,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in an interview on Thursday.

"Well, I've seen a lot of people run for office and say a lot of things, and then when they have the burden of holding office and the responsibility that goes with it," Clinton said, "I've seen them become very sobered, very quickly, about the challenges we face domestically and internationally.”

"You know, nobody said it better than Mario Cuomo, who said, 'You campaign in poetry, and you govern in prose.' Sometimes the poetry can get kind of hot," Clinton added, "and a little over the top, but the prose brings you down to earth."

Clinton spoke in Jerusalem with Christiane Amanpour of ABC’s “This Week,” which will show the interview on Sunday.

Well, I think she was trying to generalize her statement from Tea Party and yes, she said a whole lot more! LOL

ps. I have posted link to the ABCNews article that has link to Amanpour interview of Hillary Clinton in this: "Hillary Clinton Says Mideast Peace Talks 'Constructive'" (ABCNews.go.com 9/16/10)

Jen, that was indeed a very interesting discussion at Hillary is 44!

I don't know if you saw this, but Admin updated the article with the following:

"Update: JanH found a link to the Hillary interview. Unfortunately the code is disabled but you can watch the video HERE. Notice how Hillary answers the question about foreign policy and the Tea Party by adding "domestic" policy into the mix. As to the Hillary is "out of politics" line by Amanpour, lately Hillary reminds everyone that "by law" she is out of politics.

And any doubt that Hillary Clinton was referring to Obama in the clip is dispelled with this find by Fifth Dimension:

"Yes, found it. From January 2008:

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-502443_162-3701251-502443.html

"COMMERCE, CALIF. — Lately Hillary Clinton has taken to quoting former New York Governor Mario Cuomo on the stump. “You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose,” Clinton tells her crowds. It’s another subtle way to target Barack Obama. The Clinton camp feels that the path to the Democratic nomination runs through her ability to paint Obama as a “talker not a doer.”


****

Hmm, I think it's clear for whom Hillary's backhanded slap was intended. biggrin
