In the Clintons’ talk of brokering compromise, an implicit rebuke of Obama years

In recent stump speeches and policy remarks, Bill and Hillary Clinton have offered sharp criticisms of the partisan gridlock paralyzing Washington, signaling a potential 2016 campaign theme if Hillary Clinton chooses to run for president.

The Clintons’ critiques in recent days have been explicitly aimed at congressional Republicans, who helped spur a 16-day government shutdown and potential debt default in October. But their remarks also seem to contain an implicit rebuke of President Obama’s failure to change Washington as he pledged when first running for the White House.

The arguments suggest a way that Hillary Clinton could attempt to run in 2016 as an agent of change — potentially putting her at odds with the two-term Democrat she would be seeking to replace.

At campaign rallies and other recent appearances, both Clintons have called for soothing partisan tensions and have espoused a vision of governing by compromise. Barnstorming Virginia this week with longtime friend and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, Bill Clinton repeatedly assailed ideological politics on both sides of the aisle.

I will not vote for a rino this time around, but I really think Hillary will be worse than Obama. They are both hardcore communists, but Hillary has a brain, and isn’t as lazy as Obama. The Republicans will spend eight more years afraid to attack the president because she is a woman, and Hillary will rule with an iron fist.

MRS. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE is THE FOREIGNER in whiteface drag. We already know what she will do during the 3:00 am call. She could run for treasury though. Anyone who can turn $1,000 into $100,000 buying cattle futures should help us get rid of the deficit.

Arkancide?
The “rumor” that just maybe,
That the Klintoons have had many folks killed,
Isn’t that right Vince?

I’m still in shock over this recent pro Clinton story...

“When you think of the Clintons, does the word “honesty” come to mind?

It does to new MSNBC host Ronan Farrow who actually said on Tuesday’s The Cycle (readers are strongly advised not to have any food or fluid in their mouths before continuing reading), “They represent a style of honesty that the public craves right now” (video follows with transcript and commentary):

“...signaling a potential 2016 campaign theme if Hillary Clinton chooses to run for president.”

Juat what America needs - eight years of one corrupt *sshole followed by x years of another corrupt *sshole.

WaPo pimping for Hillary.

I think you are correct. Obama is all focused on destroying and laying low the country he has always hated. Hillary on the other hand is a builder - no a builder of anything good mind you, but she would be smart enough to build up the Progressive wall to be completely unassailable.

In other words, Obama spent his presidency reacting and ignoring, leaving the real progressive build-up to scum like Jarret, or Pelosi and Company. Hillary would be proactively working to remake the country under her direction and in her image. Scary.

More horse crap lies from Hitlery and her sink staining beard. They are not compromisers, they are wannabe dictators.
