Hillary Clinton Misquotes

Rule #1 about quoting great people:

KNOW THE PERSON THAT SAID THE QUOTE



Today while obtaining the support of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York City, Hillary had this to say:

As Winston Churchill said, A politician thinks about the next election. A - although today it would be statesperson - statesman thinks about the next generation.


The fact is Senator Clinton, that quote is from James Freeman Clarke. Now, fire your speech writer.

Here's the real quote. A quote that my good friend Heather Carter has posted on her web page and printed on her cards. A quote that should ring true and be meaningful to us politicos.

A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation. ~ James Freeman Clarke.

That's funny. Maybe he listened to some Hillary speeches. Seems to have served him well. He got elected.
