BATH, S.D. — Hillary Rodham Clinton scolded John McCain on Thursday for opposing the farm bill, attempting to maintain the sense that she is already competing against the certain Republican presidential nominee even as her chances for winning the Democratic nomination dim.
As she chatted up rural South Dakotans, Clinton largely ignored Democratic rival Barack Obama.
Clinton noted that President Bush has said he will veto the farm bill, which Congress passed Thursday. McCain also has said he would veto the bill if he were president.
“They’re like two sides of the same coin, and it doesn’t amount to much change, does it?” Clinton said.
Bush and McCain both say the bill is fiscally irresponsible and too generous to wealthy corporate farmers.
