2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: "Hillary Clinton Begins to Move Away From Obama Ahead of 2016" [View all]Rstrstx
(1,404 posts)32. EXACTLY! Those who want to rec this post should consider its source
I really love this passage (emphasis added):
"I mean, some people can paint a beautiful vision," she said at a CNN event last month.
Yet the article leads you to think she said it yesterday. The WSJ is desperately parsing words and phrases cobbled together from here and there to make it look like she's trying to do a hit job on the president. Their sister company Fox will only be too happy to run with this theme for a week or so before moving on to some other manufactured scandal.
And to the poster above, YES, I AM questioning the source, especially at how out of context I think these comments were taken (and when they were made).
Don't worry, they'll get bored with it soon enough and go back to their favorite past time of finding something to blame Obama for. I remember I made a bet with someone a few months ago that Fox would find a way to blame Obama for flight 370 and they thought I was crazy. I admit it took them longer than I thought - about two weeks - but they were finally able to string together some twisted way to put some blame on him. You should expect nothing less from the WSJ.

Unbelievably disappointing but hardly surprising Hillary has no loyalty in return for that shown by President Obama to her. Elizabeth wud neva turn her back on the progress he's made.

She should have her own agenda, if one thing is to keep ACA and perhaps improve

So you agree w/ her criticism Obama's not tenacious; doesn't get up when knocked down?

Yes, moving further to the right is exactly the best strategy for Democrats. Yeah, that's it.

As Kerry said in 2008, Obama was being gracious in saying that rather than embarrass the nominee
