希拉里坦言近20年没有开过车 Hillary Rodham Clinton admitted she hasnt driven a car since her husbands first term. ? 有望在2016年角逐美国总统宝座的希拉里坦言她已近20年没有开过车。 ? The last time I actually drove a car myself was 1996, Clinton said Monday in remarks to the National Automobile Dealers Association in New Orleans. I remember it very well. Unfortunately, so does the Secret Service, which is why I havent driven since then. ? America Rising, a Republican super PAC, criticized Clintons comments as showing she is out of touch. The organization posted video on Tumblr and commented: Maybe she put in a tape of The Macarena (which was on top of the charts) during her last time behind the wheel? ? The Secret Service protected Clinton -- and drove her from point to point -- as first lady during her husbands eight years in the White House and while she was a U.S. senator. She will continue to receive Secret Service protection as a former first lady throughout her life, according to the agencys website. The Diplomatic Security Service protected Clinton while she was working in her official capacity as secretary of State. ? During her 2008 campaign for president, Clinton admitted she hadnt pumped gas in quite some time. She still had a drivers license at that time and Clinton sometimes used a hybrid SUV back home in New York, according to a New York Times story. ? I have to confess: One of the regrets I have about public life is that I cant drive anymore, Clinton said at the auto dealers conference. ? But if youre worried about her driving skills, she joked, you should see Bill Clinton at the wheel. My husband thinks thats a blessing, but hes the one who should talk, Hillary Clinton said. ? Clinton also told the auto dealers that her biggest regret as the nations top diplomat was the 2012 deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, according to a CNN report. Four Americans died, including U.S. ambassador Christopher Stevens.
