Hillary Clinton has once again made headlines when she commented on the takeover of six major American ports (newsday.com). Clinton has complimented the Bush administration on a job well done for delaying the takeover of these ports. The former first lady is very displeased with the thought of an international business running U.S. ports. Senator Clinton wants to pass legislation to stop the takeover of these ports from happening. With this in mind, Clinton is sure to raise the appeal for her campaign as she shows concern for domestic resources. The New York senator stated, “We cannot cede sovereignty over critical infrastructure like our ports. This is a job that America has to do" (newsday.com). This headline will be a catalyst to strengthen Clinton's campaign. Recent weeks have shown slanderous and critical headlines over some of her arguments. However, her stand on U.S. ports is sure to turn some heads and bring in votes to keep her in the senate.

Hillary Clinton made a bold statement as she exclaimed, "Since when has it been part of American patriotism to keep our mouths shut?"(newsday.com). The "Angry Woman" as nbc states, has lashed out at the Bush campaign stating it has been playing the “fear card” in order to get re-elected. Furthermore, the New York Senator has humiliated the administration by questioning its inability to capture Bin Laden. Hillary Clinton will undoubtedly come under criticism from the media such as that of Danny Diaz who states, “"While the junior senator from New York is busy attacking our commander-in-chief, the president is focused on taking the fight to the terrorists. ... It's a pre-9/11 world view"(nesday.com). Diaz has childishly proven senator Clinton’s point as he immediately retorts with comments about terrorists and 9/11. Although, the media states Hillary Clinton is using anger to “carry” her campaign it is obvious that senator Clinton is using her first amendment right as she openly states her frustration with a campaign that has not shown sufficient results. With this in mind Clinton may have gotten herself into some trouble with voters but with no doubt will overcome.
