Clinton Drops Cash in South Carolina
ABC News’ Eloise Harper Reports: After donating $100,000 to the Marion Wright Edelman Library in South Carolina, (money given from the Clinton Family Foundation) – Sen. Hillary Clinton unveiled a new plan to assist urban schools. Clinton announced she would invest more than $1 billion "in programs that identify and support at-risk youth, provide early intervention, fund small schools with intensive personalized instruction, and recruit and train excellent teachers and principals in hard-to-serve area" according to a statement provided by the campaign.
Clinton would pay for it by closing corporate tax loopholes.
After taking a tour of the Bennettsville Middle School with local educators and parents, along the famous "Corridor of Shame" in Bennettsville, South Carolina, Clinton remarked about the snakes that students have found in their classrooms. "I can not tell you what I would have done had I been a 6th or 7th grade girl and saw a snake in my classroom I would still be running."
Clinton also hinted that President Bush stole the phrase "No Child Left Behind" from a group she chaired. "I chaired the board of the Children’s Defense fund for a number for years" Clinton said "and one of the things we did was work hard to come up with the very best slogan we could get in order to describe our mission. So we came up with leave no child behind. So imagine my surprise when I heard president bush when he was running for president start talking about "No Child Left Behind."

Is Clinton trying to buy the black vote in South Carolina? It seems she is donating the money in order to win vote. Sorry Madame Clinton, we ain’t buying your strategy.

Don’t worry abut Hillary Clinton she can take care of herself real well and live ten times better than you because you can’t live in the same luxury as she can. It pays to progress in this world and that’s what she did. I read all the comments against Hillary but if your thinking Obama is going to win the nomination forget it. No a chance. Oprah is campaigning for him because he can’t make it and because she is black and he is half African half white. Obama has problems, first of all he is a senator with only one year in the senate, no experience, no foreign policy experience and not intelligent enough to become president.

I don’t care that he’s a college graduate. There a lot of college graduates that are ten times smarter than him. They just don’t want a life in politics. Hillary became an attorney, married Bill Clinton and became first lady then on to senator now running for president. I believe that’s very progressive and there are probably many that are extremely jealous of her because they didn’t the same. All I can say is, you get out of life what you put into it and if you don’t succeed don’t be jealous of the other person get made at yourself.

Mariann Pepitone:
You got your facts wrong. The South has drastically make a U-turn recently towards Obama. Check the latest polls with Obama rising power in the South. Did u follow Zogby polls last three weeks? Whites, blacks,Indians,Asians Americans, Latinos, have all converged in Obama in the South.
Everyone seems to identify with some “piece” of Mr Obama in the South.
Its becoming a lost battle for Senator Clinton. See how desperate she has become,attacks upon attacks, trying to buy votes with money.
