Hillary Rodham Clinton cast herself as a fighter for Americans
who have yet to share in the nation's economic recovery, drawing
inspiration from a Democratic icon as well as her own roots in
public service Saturday as she launched a new phase of her
second bid for the White House.

Speaking in a park dedicated to Franklin D. Roosevelt, on an
island in New York's East River that offered sweeping views of
the Manhattan skyline, Clinton said that FDR's legacy had
inspired both President Obama's and her husband Bill Clinton's
administrations, and generations of families including her own.

Today, while the nation is "standing again" after the Great
Recession, "we all know we're not yet running the way America
should," she said, blaming the problems on Republicans' "trickle-
down" approach.

Clinton sought to tap into the country's still-nagging economic
anxieties and the rising populism within her own party,
declaring that the "time has come" for middle-class Americans
who have wondered when their hard work would pay off.

"Prosperity can't be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers.
Democracy can't be just for billionaires and corporations," she
said. "You brought our country back. Now it's time, your time,
to secure our gains and move ahead. And you know what? America
can't succeed unless you succeed."

The Republican "choir," she said, had some "new voices," but all
of them were "singing the same old song: a song called
'Yesterday.'"

The line served both as an accusation that Republicans would
return to the policies that Democrats blame for bringing about
the financial crisis of 2008 and as a rejoinder to those in the
GOP who have dubbed her a candidate of the past, seeking to run
for a third Obama term.
