Clinton Takes Tough Shot at Obama
Weekly Standard ^ | 9/9/2015 | Stephen F. Hayes

Posted on 09/10/2015 7:49:46 AM PDT by Servant of the Cross

Deep in the transcript of the interview ABC’s David Muir conducted with Hillary Clinton yesterday comes an indirect but very tough shot at the man she worked for and hopes to replace. In the course of answering a question about her mother, Clinton described her mother’s difficult upbringing and praised her for her hard work. Her mother’s experience, she said, and those struggling to get ahead today, inspire her presidential run.

“I'm gonna fight for all the people like my mother who need somebody in their corner,” Clinton said, before adding: “And they need a leader who cares about them again.”

The clear implication: America hasn’t had such a leader in recent years. And it’s hard to read that comment as anything but a shot at President Obama, who has occupied the White House for the past 6.5 years.

Boy, the Clinton Crime Family must really have the goods on “Obama”, or HRC wouldn’t be playing with fire this way.

That’s a “tough” shot? It’s a throwaway line.

(If it was a republican that said it, though, it would be an “unfair slam”, I’m sure.)

Go Hillary! Jerk the chain of the most thin-skinned & vindictive person to inhabit the WH. You know ... the one with the power to pardon you AFTER he gives the DOJ the wink & nod to have you prosecuted for your many crimes involving National Security .... the crimes you’ve committed that carry huge fines and 20 years in the hoosegow per occurrence/email. My guess is, as nasty a piece of work as he is, he’ll also make a concerted & successful effort to drag the Clinton Foundation into the mess (using same server, bribery charges ... stuff like that) which means he can go after Bill & perhaps even Chelsea as well. You are SO smart, Hilly!

Didn’t Hillary’s mother name her after the first guy to climb Mt Everest 5 years BEFORE it happened?

I guess she wasn’t just compassionate, but psychic, too!

Is Hilary’s mother any more important than anyone else’s mother? Did her mother suffer more hardships than anyone else?

*******************************************************************

Exactly. I thought of my own mother when I read what Hillary said. A lot of our own mothers had tough lives.

My mom will be 95 in November and has had crippling arthritis for many years. Taking care of 7 kids has taken it’s toll. I’m proud to say to Hillary, “My mom didn’t raise a single liar among the bunch”.

Now maybe Obama will turn his personal DOJ loose on Hitlery for her crimes. Maybe.

Yes, he might. If he never sent or received and email from his Sec. State he might.
