Hillary Clinton plans to build her planned quest for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination on a risky strategy that touts a "new chapter" that builds on President Barack Obama's efforts and embraces her 2008 opponent as a key ally and adviser.
Clinton, 67, who is expected to announce her candidacy on Sunday, "is proud of what was accomplished, both as President Obamas partner on critical issues of national security, and on the progress made on the domestic front," her spokesman, Nick Merrill, told The New York Times.
Merrill added that Clinton's campaign, "would be about laying out her own vision for tackling our toughest challenges."
The Times sums up the dilemma facing Clinton this way: "How can she run for president as her own person, without criticizing the sitting president she served while her Republican opponents will be working to demonize them both?"
The former secretary of state can take little credit for many of what Obama considers as his strongest domestic accomplishments Obamacare, for instance and she opens herself to widespread attacks regarding such foreign policy issues as Israel, Iran, and Russia, the Times reports.

LOL! Run away!!!!
PING!
Dear Lord: Why does the NYT even exist anymore?
Doug, are you excited or what?
I hear ya. Still, it is very hard for me to imagine anyone wanting this woman to be in charge. I realize that pales by Obama having been in charge. It is rather a tough comment to make isn’t it.
Worked in 2014.
Mo food stamps! Don’t have to work nomoh. Hell yeah!
Yup, if the 2014 elections were any indication of the American people’s pulse, things are not looking good for Her Thighness.
And the same RINOs who gave us Obama’s first and second terms will give us his third term. I’m sure Jeb can take a dive just as well as McCain and Romney.
Probably not enough who didn't vote for Obama last time. For every black who voted for Obama but sits it out this time, you have to come up with a new lemming who sat it out last time to stay even.
Well, well, Father, aren’t you Mr. good news.
Oh, Did I do that??
Jimmy Jones would be jealous of the mind control she has over so many.. weird.. must be her upbringing.. tho she sounds like she was a dud then too.
She was a Goldwater girl. Imagine that. Some Leftist freak priest (I believe, I could be wrong on that) in the inner city got some high school kids involved in his efforts, and she was turned completely.
As I understand it, they kept in contact for decades.
He just took control.
People need to be very careful who they allow to come into contact with their impressionable kids.
This is part of the reason why I am a very big fan of home schooling. That and the curriculum these days. IMO, today’s public schools amount to child abuse.
Talk about a wolf in sheep’s clothing...
There is no moral obligation to be an optimist.
Then I definitely wouldn't want to sit through one of your Sermons.
I thought the Gospels were Good News :-)
Unfortunately the public doesn’t count the votes, the government does. I predict that if it’s close, Hillary wins - I’m still not convinced she’ll run
I wish I shared your thoughts on that. She’s reportedly declaring tomorrow.
I hope her traction evaporates.
I’m not real happy with electronic voting. Seems too easy to game the system.
The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead and conquered death.
Nothing there about the next election.
