Twitter responder calls out HRC for using 9/11 to justify getting Wall Street donations.

(it was put on a huge screen above the debaters).

HRC denies that's what she meant, but it sure as hell sounded like she meant that, and clearly knocked her back on her heels on the financial issue.

1. Like I'm not already sick of her platitudes, she's channeling GWB.

2. Actually, that was a crap question.

She was correct (in noting that Wall Street is within the geographic boundaries of the state of New York) to point out that as the state's senator she represented everyone within those boundaries, including those who work on Wall Street; as senator she does not have the discretion to pick and choose who she will represent, it's a package deal.

She was also correct that the Wall Street idea was THE target on 9-11, no better emblem of that than those twin towers. As a new senator, was she to stay away from the devastation? Should she have ignored the horror? Or should her first concern have been the well-being of survivors? Hindsight still provides no triage for dealing with such events.

I haven't yet decided - and I fully recognize that that gives me pariah status here - but I will not fault Clinton for doing the damn job to which she had been elected.

3. Like Bernie said, their business model is fraud

It's that simple.

4. I was so happy to learn this...

I actually posted about this on the Bernie group and while we were discussing it, we saw the twitter feeds.

We all heard it...it totally was what she meant.
