Poor Hillary, can't catch a break.
After spending the past few weeks reversing her previous policy of distancing herself from Obama and now embracing him, the stock market begins dropping and job numbers aren't looking great.
One terror attack or more economic bad news...
Has she started breaking it to the American Public yet that being a colony of China isn't nearly as bad as it sounds?
Hillary, Presidential Campaign 2016: Financial and Media groups and Foundations run by Hedge Funders and Currency Raiders. Meaning: Don't regulate markets, expand our IP rental income, regulate the internet to our benefit.
Hillary, Senate, 2003-2008: Financial Groups
Voted for a 2006 bill to create a 700-mile fence along the Mexican border....
Did she call for Mexico to pay for it?
She’s not in the bankers’ back pockets. No, siree. Hillary Clinton may have received millions of dollars from Wall Street—in both personal income and campaign contributions—but she can ditch those well-heeled friends at a moment’s notice.
To prove it, she has postponed (but not canceled) two fundraisers with Big Finance, one with the huge investing firm BlackRock and the other with an affiliate of Bain Capital, Mitt Romney’s old outfit. This comes amid Clinton’s unconvincing answers when pressed on her apparent coziness with banks and financial firms. When CNN anchor Anderson Cooper asked Clinton recently why she accepted $675,000 from Goldman Sachs for giving a grand total of three speeches, she stammered and finally said, “That’s what they offered,†as if she would have taken 25 bucks and a free sandwich, if that’s all Goldman were able to afford.
Clinton is obviously flummoxed by her relationship with Wall Street, which she needs but can’t fully acknowledge. Her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders keeps hitting pay dirt by trashing the big banks and the outsized amount of wealth they control, which resonates well with a dyspeptic electorate. “The business model of Wall Street is fraud,†he declared during the latest Democratic debate. The whole subject puts Clinton on the defensive, since she’s taken millions in Wall Street donations in her career as Wall Street’s home-state senator and now presidential candidate.
What's hilarious is the only thing Hillary has on Bernie is his disinterest in pursuing strong gun control, but that's only one issue out of dozens where Hillary is firmly center-right if not full unleaded Bankster.
text version would be nice. I read faster than they talk.
Don't think the JB Show offers transcripts.
Remembering the 90s: How Bill and Hillary made America the incarceration capital of the world and "reformed" welfare while deindustrializing the country

Hillary on Welfare in the 90s
Clinton began a column in June 1998 with an anecdote about a mother on welfare whose daughter once came home and said, “Mommy, I’m tired of seeing you sitting around the house doing nothing.â€
In the 1990s and early 2000s, Hillary Clinton touted the success of Bill Clinton’s 1996 overhaul of the country’s welfare system, framed as the transition from “dependency to dignity†— a subject she hasn’t spoken much about this year during her campaign.
Bill Clinton’s overhaul of the welfare system, which was passed in conjunction with a Republican-controlled Congress, replaced a major federal welfare program with block grants to states, required adults to find a job within two years of receiving aid, placed a five-year limit on aid, blocked future legal immigrants from welfare assistance, and cut $24 billion in food stamps. It was denounced by many Democrats, including Peter Edelman, who resigned from his post at the Department of Health and Human Services, arguing that the law would do “serious injury to American children.â€
Clinton Dogwhistling
Three years after the end of the Cold War, the 1992 presidential campaign focused primarily on the economy. But “Clinton did not depend on an economic message alone; rather, he decided to engage in his own racial pandering,†writes Haney López. Clinton campaigned as a ‘New Democrat’: “one resistant to black concerns, tough on crime and hostile to welfare.†Clinton distanced himself from African-American voters and politicians, publicly sparring with Rev. Jesse Jackson. “This ad shows the centrality of dog whistling to the Clinton campaign, putting front and center his promise to end welfare so that it’s no longer ‘a way of life,’ and also his commitment to cracking down on ‘criminals,’†Haney López told BillMoyers.com.
The Subtle Dogwhistling of Hillary's 2008 Campaign
About the same time, a picture of Obama in traditional Somali garb (from an official trip) then appeared on the Drudge Report, and Matt Drudge claimed he got it from the Clinton campaign. After stonewalling on the origin question, the campaign later claimed it had nothing to do with it. A Clinton flack then went on MSNBC and argued that Obama should not be ashamed to appear in "his native clothing, in the clothing of his country."
"It's not a smear, we just wanted the world to be proud of Obama's (FUCKING BLACK GUY!!! VOTE FOR WHITE HILLARY!!) Heritage"

Cornell West slams Clinton as "Milli Vanilli" of US Politics.
Clinton's position changed on NAFTA around the time she started running for President in 2008.
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2008/feb/25/barack-obama/clinton-has-changed-on-nafta/
Then, as Sec of State, she went RIGHT BACK to pushing for sweeping one-sided Trade Deals. Totally untrustworthy on this issue.
"I've been the victim of Wall Street Attack Ads"
In fact, 1/3 of her PAC funding is from Wall Street, most of the money used to attack Trump.

Clinton: Bernie wants to rig the convention with Superdelegates.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-dem-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/04/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-superdelegates-221828
Hillary's Low Information Voters probably don't know she had the majority of Superdelegates long before Iowa began.
Labor is going to flub an election they should win hands down because of Neoliberalism and the Multicult. Just like the USA, England is being flooded with un and semi- skilled immigrants they don't need, to drive up rents and lower wages even though unemployment and underemployment is high.

Labor is hoping for a miracle in Philly late July.

Bumpity Bump Bump. Start from the beginning. I started this thread in Mid 2014, FYI.
With IHLlary, it's like electing two Presidents in one! Her and Dworkin Golem! I guess you have to subtract a half for Bill, to make that 1.5 Presidents in one.
Does Rosie make it a one quarter President add-back?
Heard a rumor that there are some on patnet that might vote for one of the two political 1% mouthpieces.
Let them DIE DUMB!
Whoever becomes President will be bought and paid for by the wealthy elite. There will be change, but it will be more of the downward slide of fewer citizen rights, more people in jail, more wasteful government spending, and more imbalance between workers and elite.
