Clinton scolds Bush on aid to localities

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton said that the Bush administration had broken historic partnerships between local governments and the federal government and promised to support a range of federal aid to localities, including health insurance for children and funding for community development.
The former first lady promised about 2,500 elected county officials attending the National Association of Counties annual convention that she and a Democratic Congress would expand the child health insurance program for 9 million uninsured children if she wins next year's election.

Clinton said that county governments have coped with 45 million Americans who have no health coverage and the president was ignoring the Americans for the last 6 1/2 years.
The campaign of Senator Hillary Clinton issued a press announcing her "Mayors Council" - a list of more than 100 present and former mayors who have endorsed her candidacy.

It is good to see how Hillary Clinton is being confident and pointing out problems that the government has to solve before the election. I believe that a President should be someone who always put US first, not oneself. I hope that a candidate who will become president does not change once he or she is elected.
