Clinton pushes action, not words
Shortly after the national media called Wisconsin's Dem primary for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton promised supporters in Youngtown, Ohio, that she would back up her words with action as president.
She criticized Obama's focus on style over substance and speeches over solutions.
"This election is about picking a president who relies not on words but on hard work to get Americans to work," said Clinton. "Words are important, but the best words aren't enough unless you match them with action."
She also drew distinctions between herself and Obama on issues of foreign policy experience, health care, the economy, and preparedness for the job on day one.
Clinton also targeted Republicans, saying that working-class people couldn't stand another four years with a president who does not see or hear them.
