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.

Great link DO! We’ll run with them.
Oooo, Hillary. That’s a real winner. We can clearly see her genius strategery here, just as we could when she abandoned her ambassador.
The idiots, parasites, and self-haters who elected Obama twice by decent margins haven’t gone away. If they turn out, Hillary wins.
She wants to do a job normal American patriotss won’t do.
Finish the Obamanation.
Our side: America cannot afford an Obama third term.
I'm having a hard time imagining Obama's core constituency having the same enthusiasm for an old white woman.
She only has the MSM to back her this time and a bunch of dirty money.
Should be interesting to invest in some popcorn stock.
Hillary must have had to promise a choice cabinet post for Moochie in exchange for Barack’s endorsement.
Imagine - President Hillary and Atorney General Moochie Obama for for 8 years.
Then President Moochie Obama for the next 8 years.
By then Chelsea will be ready to step in to the presidency....
Oh My God!! Triple down on defeat!!!
Are there enough post-menopausal women lemmings to make up for the blacks who won’t vote without Obama’s name on the ballot?
She's got all the Democrats, the illegals, the dead and the ACORN generated fake voters. It won't be a slam-dunk for Republicans by any stretch.
She’ll be an “Her Excellancy” president.
Heaven help us!
I’d love to know o’s approval rate with blacks NOW.
I’ve never heard it feel off. Maybe she’s there to siphon it off.
Sounds like electoral suicide to me, but then I seriously suspected Dems might assassinate Obama before 2012, primarily so as not to have to run him, but also so they could use him as a martyr. So, I obviously don’t necessarily have an accurate gauge of the mood of the electorate.
Maybe he knows, because he's planning on voting 6,750 times himself.
Heck no, barack and the mooch are heading to California to be near golf courses and for the mooch to run for DiFi’s vacant Senate seat.
Good. I’ll keep my eyes open for more little “goodies”.
