Hillary Clinton to add Jacob Leibenluft, Obama's long-time economic adviser, to campaign team

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/20/hillary-clinton-to-add-jacob-leibenluft-obamas-long-time-economic-adviser-to-campaign-team.html

One of President Obama's economic advisers will join Hillary Clinton's campaign, in another sign of close coordination between the White House and the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Jacob Leibenluft, deputy director of the National Economic Council, will become a senior policy adviser as Clinton prepares to fill out her economic agenda for the general election.

On Tuesday she plans to deliver a speech in Columbus, Ohio, that will contrast her proposals to lift middle-class incomes with Donald Trump's business record, which she will argue is characterized by self-interest at the expense of others.

Leibenluft has served on Obama's economic team from the beginning of the president's first term. Among his areas of focus have been policies on job training, apprenticeships and the minimum wage.


Leibenluft is seated second from left in the photo below.

Not a single reply about how he's a corporatist shill and Hillary is about to give our Social Security to the big banks.

DU is back!

so no one should try that here anytime, but yes, I hope that DU is well and truly back!

What I really liked were the parts in the article where it said that Hillary has proposals to raise middle-class incomes and that this new adviser's special areas of economic concern are policies on job training, apprenticeships and the minimum wage.

This IS the "revolution," folks. It's happening if we all vote Hillary into office in November!
