Hillary Clinton’s Message: Yes, the Economy Is Messed Up. But I Can Fix It.

After the first couple of which the sell-out traitorous GOPee stabbed Gingrich in the back so they could turn democratic pork into GOPee pork.

With perv-boy Hastert and closet drunk Boehner as his replacements.

Seems to me it was obvious the GOP leadership has been blackmailed for over 20 years.

Now we can understand their complete lack of will to fight for America.

Instead they just joined in the looting and enriched themselves.

Hillary Clinton: yes the economy is messed up and Democrats have been in charge for the past 7+ years!! So why elect me, you fools??!!

[RayChuang88]

They're deluding themselves.

We need both major income tax reform and major business regulation reform for a real broad-based economic recovery.

...income tax reform and major business regulation reform...

Maybe we could add in huge gov't spending/tax cuts plus a partnership w/ the American people's wealth creation.

Risking war with Mexico?

Hold on,  We wouldn't want to risk Mexico invading the U.S. and have them killing Americans all over the place.  That is...

...a one-gigawatt natural gas plant in one year for $1B. Compared to nukes that's real cheap.

That's an elegant way of putting it.  [mental note...]

If 7.5 years of Democratic rule can’t fix it, then Democratic rule can’t fix it.

By putting my horndog hubby in charge, or something.

[expat_panama]

Tx fer the headsup, My take is you missed the point so I’ll post this and ping you if I may...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Because it worked so well for him.

[TomGuy]

How can that be?

Obama said just a few weeks ago that this was the best economy in the last 40 years.

  If Shakespeare were around today, he’d probably say that “the president doth protest too much, methinks.” How else to describe Barack Obama’s hour-long harangue to an audience in Elkhart, Ind., about how the economy is doing fabulously well, and that the only reason people don’t believe it is because of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh? Obama’s pique is understandable. After all, presidential candidates from both parties are currently running around the country bashing the economy — the one that Obama promised eight years ago would be going gangbusters by now. “People are anxious and uncertain about the economy,” Obama said...

Obama Boasts In Britain: I Saved The World Economy As President
	04/23/2016 7:42:59 AM PDT · by Rockitz · 75 replies Breitbart.com ^ | 23 Apr 2016 | Charlie Spiering President Barack Obama boasted of his legacy during a town hall in Britain, asserting that he single- handedly saved the world during his presidency. “Saving the world economy from a Great Depression — that was pretty good,” Obama bragged when asked by a student in London what he wanted his legacy to be. He recalled that when he visited London in 2009, the world economy was in a “freefall” because of irresponsible behavior of financial institutions around the world. “For us to be able to mobilize the world’s community, to take rapid action, to stabilize the financial markets, and then...

It will be interesting to see how Clinton can run against the Obama economy while supporting the Obama legacy.

She slipped up already with her recent Trump bash by claiming she 'can fix the economy, but under Obama the economy has been great, but the economy is in a mess'. Huh?

Clinton can pander and criticize in the same breath.

[AndyJackson]

I didn’t miss the point. I didn’t even read it so I didn’t try. Sorry!

[zzwhale]

[expat_panama]

[oldasrocks]

Her plan has leaked out!

She is going to transfer all moneys into her Foundation and issue you a weekly check if you behave yourself.

[MGG]

Did you notice that Hillary read the (sigh....) affectation as text? She’s Ron Burgundy.

[goldstategop]

GHW Bush ran for Reagan’s third term and won easily.

Most people were satisfied with the direction of the country and Reagan was popular.

Hillary is running at a time two thirds of Americans are not satisfied with the direction of the country and Obama is treading water.

She could win if the economy shows an uptick between now and November and conversely - she could lose if there is a crash.

[1Old Pro]

7.5 years of the great Obama recession, how can we even contemplate a third term.

[No_More_Harkin]

In reading the comments on the times, democrats and liberals have to be THE stupidest, most ignorant hate filled people on the planet.
What is it with people and their “idol” worship.
I swear Hillary could slaughter 20 babies live on broadcast TV and her poll numbers would dip 1 or 2%.
We need this country to unite, and democrats simply do NOT have the capacity to do this because their entire party is about finding a problem, whether real or perceived, and getting people angry to protest and riot. Once that problem is dead, find another and repeat.

[Captain Peter Blood]

How is it any politician, especially Hillary or Bernie, fix, manage, improve, and grow the economy when they don’t know how?

These people have no clue, no idea how the private sector works, yet we as the electorate are willing to give them a huge say in making it work.

Under Obama and his insane policies, small business, the real engine in our economy has stalled , has had either little or no growth. Our GDP is barely positive but in reality negative.

To really have this country moving, we need a 5% GDP for the next five years, minimum, and create about 500,000 a month to have full employment. So how will Hillary and Bill do this? Neither could run a Dairy Queen if they had to.
