Presidential Campaign Launch
NEW YORK — Hillary Clinton launched her presidential campaign in earnest Saturday with a speech and rally in a setting that evoked a revered Democratic past as much as — if not more than — the party's desired future.

Echoing the "four freedoms'' Roosevelt declared in a 1941 speech, Clinton identified "four fights'' she'd wage as president: for equitable economic growth, for national security, for better treatment of children and families and for more efficient and less corrupt government.
Against this, she slammed the "new voices" in the Republican field who she said are "singing the same old song, a song called Yesterday."
The Republican National Committee replied that her speech was "chock full of hypocritical attacks, partisan rhetoric and ideas from the past.''
