Its no secret that Bill Clinton is a personal friend of President Bush, but recently Hillary Clinton said some very nice things about the Prez.
Asked to say one nice thing about President George W. Bush, Sen. Hillary
Rodham Clinton went one better: She named two things.
"He is someone who has alot of charm and charisma, and I think in the
immediate after of 9/11, I was very grateful to him for his support for New
York," Clinton said Tuesday night during a talk at the National Archives about
her life in politics.
Clinton, a potential presidential candidate in 2008, said that despite
their "many disagreements about many, many issues," she has always had a good
personal relationship with the president.
"He's been willing to talk. Hes been affable. Hes been good company," said
Clinton, a New York Democrat.
The junior senator from New York, who is up for re-election this year, said
she is still thankful for Bush's personal commitment to helping rebuild lower
manhattan after Sept. 11, 2001.
She recalled how the president, in the grim days that followed the terror
attacks, pleged in a private meeting with New York lawmakers to help rebuid the
shattered city.
"It was a very personal, very emotional discussion and when we asked him
for the help that New York needed he immediately said yes," Clinton said.
At the Meeting, Bush pledged more than $20 billion dollars in aid and tax
incentives. Some New York Democrats have since charged the Bush administration
has fallen billion of dollars short of that goal because some of the programs
were underused, but Clinton said the president kept his promise.
"He always kept it on track," she said. "He made sure we got the resources
that we needed and Im very grateful to him for that...I am very appreciative in
the time when the people I represented needed his help, he was there for
us."
Hooooooooow Sweeeeeeeet.
