Big, booming reception for Hillary Clinton at House of Prayer church in Flint, Michigan. Chants of Hillary, shouts of President Clinton.

Thank you Flint for such a wonderful welcome - the church is packed out to the hallway.

1. Thank you for posting, bigtree.

Some folks think banging out words on a keyboard makes you a liberal. It's actually how you live your life.

2. I hope her visit & follow-up help resolve this issue faster. nt

3. As a Bernie supporter, I endorse this OP.

And any Bernie supporter who would accuse Hillary Clinton of using Flint as a campaign opportunity and not a heart felt reach out to expose a clear injustice by a heartless GOP, is not paying attention. And just maybe are a bit heartless themselves.

Good for you, Hillary.

And to those who claim that this is a political ploy, are you aware that there will soon be a Democratic candidate debate in Flint, MI where both Bernie and Hillary will be on stage?

Ridiculous arguments deserve ridicule. This is one of them. I will be voting for Bernie in the MI primary, but applaud Hillary for this.


My best to you all.

8. She's not politicizing the crisis, it's already politicized; Hillary is exploiting it. n/t

13. this is an issue which will require a political response

...both to achieve justice and act on solutions.

The answer certainly isn't to leave that community to fight this on their own. Besides, this crowd came to see Hillary speak on their own volition, and are apparently pleased that she bothered to come.

9. Some Flint locals aren't buying it.

10. This Flint water thing is really about Clinton

Lol just like she wanted. Me,me, me,me, me,

11. I commend secretary Clinton for coming to my state.

But I kinda wish these national figures had shown up months and months ago instead of just when they're running for president.

Maybe this crisis could have been much easier on Flint if they had. The fact that they're just showing up now smells a little rotten to me.
