Hillary is either supporting Obama or

throwing him under the bus. Hillary is guilty of anything bad that the Bill Clinton administration did.
News flash: Hillary isn't Obama 2.0 or Bill Clinton 2.0.
Hillary is a strong independent woman who will make a great President.

1. POTUS is a Big Kid, and I'm sure she gave him a courtesy call.

He wasn't flustered or surprised in the slightest.

And of course she's her own person, even as she was loyal to her husband when he was POTUS.

2. K & R

Non-stop Trashville at the DU along with RW sites and corporate media, and HRC survives.

3. She is certainly allowed

Any candidate for anything is allowed to take any position on any issue. In the case of Clinton and the TPP, she did express strong support for it when she was in the Obama administration, but she may feel differently now, and for a variety of reasons. I expect she will explain why she changed her mind, and it will certainly not sound like she's trying to "distance" herself from Obama.

4. Funny, I remember the explanation for her silence being "respect for the president"

Oh well, new day, new bullshit...

5. As President Obama just recently said "there's a difference between running for president

and being president".

6. Hillary knows exactly what she is doing.
