In subtle moves, Hillary Clinton creates distance from Obama
Reuters By Gabriel Debenedetti 20 minutes ago
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Just over a year after leaving her job as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton has offered views on foreign policy that analysts said seem part of an effort to distance herself from the Obama administration as she prepares a possible 2016 White House run.
In appearances this month, Clinton struck a hawkish tone on issues including Iran and Russia, even while expressing broad support for the work done by Obama and her successor as secretary of state, John Kerry.
Clinton said in New York on Wednesday night she was "personally skeptical" of Iran's commitment to reaching a comprehensive agreement on its nuclear program.
"I've seen their behavior over (the) years," she said, saying that if the diplomatic track failed, "every other option does remain on the table."
Just two weeks earlier, Clinton was forced to backtrack after she drew parallels between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler at a closed-door fundraiser. In comments leaked to the media by a local reporter who attended the event, Clinton said Putin's justifications for his actions in the Crimean region were akin to moves Hitler made in the years before World War Two.
"I'm not making a comparison, certainly, but I am recommending that we can perhaps learn from this tactic that has been used before," she said the next day at an event in Los Angeles.
As secretary of state, Clinton was a key player in a U.S. effort to reset relations with Russia, a policy that critics say now appears to be a glaring failure.

Well she couldn’t or she would have been in the cat bird seat in 08
All we have to do is run an ad with her and her f’n RESET button followed by pictures of bodies in Kiev and Bengazi.
I read through almost all the comments at the site and there was only one pro-Hillary comment. I wonder what her internal poling shows, or if they’ll be honest enough to tell her.
Too late-—As soon as she announces Obamacare becomes Hillarycare..
Unfortunately she didn’t vote for it. She was out of the Senate at the time of the vote. I really hope she does not run. I can’t imagine a scenario of us winning if she wins. Woman are excited to have a female President and they want Hillary. I hope she does not run.
Of course it is subtle. It has no effect.

It will need to be more than subtle. If BHO thinks he knows how to throw folk under the bus, he's about to get a lesson from the Clintons.
