Her stance aligns her with city leaders, including Police Commissioner Bill Bratton, against a controversial proposal by President Obama that would adversely affect the ability of the city the nations top terror target since 9/11 to protect itself.
We need it, we need it! I want it! Clinton shouted during a Saturday sitdown with reporters and editors from The News, referring to federal homeland security funding for New York. I dont agree with the Obama administration on that.
She vowed to fight for the loot.
I have a great confidence in and commitment to making sure that New York has all the homeland security funding that it needs from the federal government and I believe that its request is reasonable and I would very much want to see the Obama administration produce that $90 million it has otherwise decided to withhold, she said.
The stinging rebuke of her former boss comes just months after the White House released a 2017 budget that called for slashing funding for the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) which pays for anti-terror ventures in large U.S. cities like New York from $600 million to $330 million.
But throughout it all, she appeared to take multiple veiled shots at Obama, proposing ways especially when it came to stimulating the U.S. economy she felt she could do better.
Remember in the debates when she said this:
"I dont think he gets the credit he deserves for being a president who dug us out of that ditch, put us on firm ground, and sent us into the future. And it is the kind of criticism that weve heard from Sen. Sanders about our president that I expect from Republicans. I do not expect them from someone running for the Democratic nomination to succeed president Obama."
- Clinton, Milwaukee's debate
Clinton Supporters how do you reconcile this? And do not come at me with just "That's politics". It is scummy, and makes her look disingenuous and with a lack of integrity and ethics.

(28,749 posts)but the very fact you posted that particular post means you're not included in that "all of us".

Agschmid
(28,749 posts)And flamebait posted by someone who knows exactly what they are doing.
People should learn to look past that kind of stuff.

(2,353 posts)I'm curious mainly because I have seen time and again any criticism of Clinton gets tied to being a criticism of Obama, but now finally Clinton doesn't need Obama anymore so she starts attacking him again, like she was doing before Sanders posed a more serious threat.
