Clinton refocuses on Bush administration

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 10 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton has temporarily focused her attention away from her electoral rival to take aim at the administration of President George W. Bush.

The Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal said Saturday that the New York senator's speech in Kentucky Friday night was not focused on U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, but rather the upcoming end of the Bush administration.

"You can almost hear the sound of the moving van taking George Bush back to Texas," Clinton said Friday at Louisville's Kentucky International Convention Center. "The world will breathe a sigh of relief when George Bush and Dick Cheney hand over the keys to the White House."

"It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush and it's going to take a Clinton to clean up after the second one," she added.

The Courier-Journal said polls have indicated that Clinton is ahead of the Illinois senator by nearly 35 percent in Kentucky, whose primary is scheduled for May 20.

Some experts say Clinton will not be able to surpass Obama in delegate support no matter the result of the remaining primaries, the newspaper said.
