Showing Original Post only (View all)My concerns about Hillary and 2016 [View all]
Some want 2016 to basicly be a cornation for Hillary.I have serious concerns about her especilly with those things Obama can be legitimetly critized about
1:Corporate and wall street
Many believe Obama Is too corporate friendly and soft on Wall street abuses like what got us into the 2008 crisis. And do people really
think Hillary will be tougher on them than Obama? The Clintons are even more connected to wall Street than Obama.
The Clintons have never seen a free trade deal they didn't like.I belong to group who feel free trade deals are killing jobs In US.If you
opposse the TPP you want someone even more free trade? That's NAFTA on steroids and who signed nafta Into Law? Bill Clinton
As someone who opposes the keystone pipeline if It was up to Hillary why do I fear she would approve it
2:hawkish
let's put Iraq In past here.Hillary was one of most hawkish members of Obama's administration on Afghanstain.She supported more troops. If you are among those who want out of afghanstain do you really think she would be to Obama's left on Afghanstain.He's basicly comitted us to be there indefently and we should have beguin withdrawing after Bin laden was killed.
She supported strikes on Syria.
I am firm believer we need to stop getting involved In Middle east conflicts

ealing with republicans
many agree here that Obama Is too willing to work with republicans but have people forgotten the trianglution of the Clintons.Or
Hillary's comments critizing those who call Bi-partisan a dirty word.yeah that's what we need more bi-partisan crap that could
endanger things like SS,SSI,Medicaid,and medicare.Already in name of bi-partisan 8 billion have been cut from food stamps.There
are plenty of people out there that could use food stamps
4:Elections
The clintons never helped other Dems much. Even now a key super-pac aligned with them Is going to sit out 2014 and Bill Clinton
continues to only campagin for dems who supported hillary over obama In 2008
2014 may turn into a clobbing for Democrats and come January 2015 Obama will be fighting ivestigations ,Impeachment threats,and senate votes to repeal Obamacare.Not to mention republicans using budget to try to cut SS,Medicare,and medicaid.
We may need a democrat for 2016 who will lead charge against republicans In congress as well as the teapartyer who wins nomination. Can that trully be Hillary
