She's always said she was going to be her own person.<br /><br />And lot of people weren't very happy with Obama giving a speech at Nike headquarters about offshoring jobs when promoting the TPP trade deal -- a deal that Hillary promoted 45 times, before she said she was against it. Is that the "legacy" Hillary wants to continue?<br /><br />And a lot of people very weren't happy that Obama extended the Bush tax cuts for 2 more years. And they weren't very happy that Obama considered using chained-CPI to limit COLAs for Social Security recipients. Is that the "legacy" Hillary wants to continue?<br /><br />Also, lot of people weren't happy about bailing out the banks, and then later not prosecuting the bankers for tanking the economy. Is that the "legacy" Hillary wants to continue?<br /><br />Hillary Clinton recently said before she wanted to "continue President Obama's legacy" -- before she was on the Rachel Maddow Show tonight -- I just can't remember when that was. But it appears she's now trying to get Obama's supporters to rally for her because she's been losing so much ground in the polls.<br /><br />And Obama is wrong — he wouldn't win a third term if he could run for President again, not if he were running against Bernie Sanders (or Elizabeth Warren). Maybe if Obama were running against Hillary Clinton again, then yes, Obama could win a third term easily. <br />Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-23635711007861296272016-01-14T14:30:49.231-08:002016-01-14T14:30:49.231-08:00JAN. 10, 2016 -- WHY IS THE NEWS MEDIA IGNORING BE...JAN. 10, 2016 -- WHY IS THE NEWS MEDIA IGNORING BERNIE SANDERS?<br /><br />http://www.skyvalleychronicle.com/FEATURE-NEWS/WHY-IS-THE-NEWS-MEDIA-IGNORING-BERNIE-SANDERS-2372457<br /><br />JAN. 13, 2016 -- But the media hasn't been ignoring him lately!!!Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-37525553974203502262016-01-14T14:27:05.369-08:002016-01-14T14:27:05.369-08:00In GOP NEWS Today...

Ted Cruz spokeswoman told reporters that the campaign “should’ve disclosed” the loan.<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/14/us/politics/ted-cruz-wall-street-loan-senate-bid-2012.html<br /><br />http://www.texastribune.org/2016/01/13/cruz-campaign-2012-disclosure-should-have-noted-go/<br /><br />https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/01/13/report-cruz-did-not-disclose-goldman-sachs-loan-used-to-finance-senate-campaign/<br />Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.com
