Confused Hillary accidently utters line from Goldman Sachs speech while speaking in public.

55. Better, she voted for it as a Senator.

Here's the NY Times report of it as an issue during the campaign for the 2008 Nomination.

At the Democratic debate last night, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said that she “fought the banks” on bankruptcy overhaul. She made the statement as part of her defense for taking campaign contributions from lobbyists and special interests.

Actually, Mrs. Clinton has a mixed record on the bankruptcy bill, which wended its way through Congress over the course of several years, and on fighting the banks, which are a major constituency and major source of campaign contributions in New York.

The bankruptcy legislation was sought by banks and credit card companies, which wanted to make it harder for consumers to use the bankruptcy laws to walk away from their debts.

As first lady, Mrs. Clinton worked against the bill. She helped kill one version of it, then another version passed, which her husband vetoed. As a senator, in 2001, she voted for it, but it did not pass. When it came up again in 2005, she missed the vote because her husband was in the hospital, although she indicated she would have opposed it.

So the one time she's really on record, as a Senator voting on the legislation, she voted for Bankruptcy Reform that screwed the average citizen but protected the banksters.

Here's some more discussion on ^M^E.

Hillary Clinton was planning to run for the Presidency in 2008 and she wanted to have Wall Street's backing. 17 Democratic Senators voted outright in favor of this Republican legislation, in order to be able to raise enough campaign cash from the banksters so as to retain their Senate seats. The Democratic 2008 Presidential contenders Senators Chris Dodd and Barack Obama, unlike Senator Hillary Clinton, voted against this Republican bill. Senator Joe Biden was amongst the 17 Democratic whores who voted in favor of it, and this alone should have disqualified him from consideration to become the Democratic Presidential nominee, except that he virtually had to vote for it because he represented Delaware and thus relied especially heavily on credit card companies to finance his campaigns.

I'm sorry if the truth kind of snuck up on you there. Just give it a day and soon you'll forget the ^Truth.
