美国民主党总统竞选人希拉里·克林顿6月30日说，白宫需要“彻底打扫”。

　　希拉里当天在迈阿密的一场募款宴会上告诉与会的1000余名女性，如果她赢下2008年总统选举，她在白宫有太多事情要做。

　　“布什执政八年后，我们将会震惊于我们的所见所闻，”希拉里说，“有人曾对我说，是否能看到女性出任总统的一天。我说，就是现在，因为我们要做太多清洁工作。”

　　希拉里用在座女性易于理解的比喻呼吁说：“带上你们的水桶，带上你们的扫把。我们要（给白宫）来个大扫除，因为那里已充斥裙带、腐化和无能。”

MIAMI (AP) — Taking a swipe at a potential Republican presidential rival, Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday criticized Fred Thompson for suggesting Cuban immigrants pose a terrorist threat.
"I was appalled when one of the people running for or about to run for the Republican nomination talked about Cuban refugees as potential terrorists," Clinton told Hispanic elected officials. "Apparently he doesn't have a lot of experience in Florida or anywhere else, and doesn't know a lot of Cuban-Americans."1 Y4 E$ A0 |6 x" ?! h# ^3 u

Thompson, who is polling strongly among Republican primary voters and is expected to join the race soon, made the comment at a campaign stop Wednesday in South Carolina.

The actor and former Tennessee senator was criticizing an immigration bill in the Senate, contending it would make the country more vulnerable to terrorism.人在德国社区0 r' ]3 ^8 {% w- a8 [* `& r

"I don't imagine they're coming here to bring greetings from Castro. We're living in the era of the suitcase bomb," Thompson said. Fidel Castro is Cuba's communist leader.

A video clip of Thompson's remark immediately circulated on YouTube, leading him to post a note on his campaign blog that he had been talking about Cuban spies, not immigrants.csuchen.de% W4 Z  S1 |/ s3 W( `* [

On Saturday, Thompson press aide Burson Snyder referenced that post in which Thompson said, "Our national security is too important an issue to let folks twist words around for a one-day headline. Cuban-Americans are among the staunchest opponents of illegal immigration, and especially so when it's sponsored by the Castro regime."/ Y; U7 R8 j) ~0 Y" r! Z

All the major Democratic presidential candidates were at Walt Disney World for a forum sponsored by the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.

Speaking to a group of about 100 supporters before the forum, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson promoted his status as the first Hispanic to run for president.

"I'm not running as a Latino candidate. I'm running as an American governor who is enormously proud to be Latino," he said to cheers.

Earlier Saturday, Clinton addressed about 1,000 women at a fundraiser in Miami, one of five the New York senator scheduled on the final day of the April through June period.

The campaign has announced that Clinton will match or slightly exceed the $26 million she took in from January through March. Still, Clinton aides have predicted Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois would outraise her this time.

At the Miami event, Clinton said she would have much work to do at the White House if she won election in 2008, saying "a clean sweep" is needed at the White House because President George W. Bush has fostered "a culture of cronyism, corruption and incompetence."7 J# e$ m1 r2 ]8 _3 V

"After eight years of the Bush administration, we are going to be shocked by what we find," the New York senator and former first lady said. "Somebody said to me the other day if there was ever a time for a woman president it's now because we're going to have to do a lot of cleaning."" m  `4 I. R: T2 q6 _& C) A

Sen. Clinton said Bush has squandered the budget surplus that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, left and damaged the nation's standing in the world with a shortsighted approach to diplomacy.7 E- t/ D0 d8 ]- F0 B% w

"It is important to be both smart and tough," Clinton said. "I have no illusions about how hard this job is. I have seen it closely. It is always hard, and after President Bush and Vice President Cheney, it is really going to be hard."

"If Hillary Clinton thinks women will support her candidacy simply based on her gender she is mistaken," RNC spokeswoman Amber Wilkerson said. "Women, like men, will vote for a candidate because they share their views, and Hillary's consist of higher taxes, bigger government and waving a white flag in the global war on terror."
