After Eliot Spitzer abandoned his plan to give ILLEGAL immigrants driver's licenses, Hillary Clinton made the bold, decisive move of coming out against giving licenses to ILLEGAL immigrants.
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday came out against granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, after weeks of pressure in the presidential race to take a position on a now-failed ID plan from her home state governor.
Clinton has faced criticism from candidates in both parties for her noncommittal answers on New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's attempt to allow illegal immigrants in his state to receive driver's licenses. Spitzer abandoned the effort Wednesday.
"I support Governor Spitzer's decision today to withdraw his proposal," Clinton said in a statement. "As president, I will not support driver's licenses for undocumented people and will press for comprehensive immigration reform that deals with all of the issues around illegal immigration including border security and fixing our broken system."
Wow. What leadership!
Her opponents' campaigns seized on her John Kerry-esque moment.
..."When it takes two weeks and six different positions to answer one question on immigration, it's easier to understand why the Clinton campaign would rather plant their questions than answer them," said Barack Obama spokesman Bill Burton, referring to the Clinton campaign's admission that aides had staged a question for her at an Iowa event.
Colleen Flanagan, a spokesman for Chris Dodd, called Clinton's position "flip-flopping cubed. She was for it before she was against it, before she was for it, before she was against it."
The Obama and Dodd campaigns are totally justified in their reactions to Hillary's series of blunders. It's not piling on to tell the truth.
This driver's licenses episode is going to dog Hillary. This one isn't going to be forgotten.
There's a lot of pressure on her to turn in a powerhouse performance at tomorrow's debate.
I don't think she can do it.

Hillary supporters: please don’t get discouraged. PLEASE. She is getting attacked from all sides because people deep down know she is our only hope for America and they’re trying to ruin it for everybody. Hillary is the ONLY candidate with these 4 attributes: honor, patriotism, loyalty, and kindness. I got $35 in the bank that says no other candidate has those attributes.
This is Hillary spam.

Even blog comments left on posts about Hillary are automated. The insincerity is typical Hillary.
Funny.
Hitlary has planted comments as well as questions.
