Hillary Clinton gains respect, likability for 2016 bid
Hillary Rodham Clinton would enter the 2016 presidential race better liked and more respected than she was when she ran in 2008, a USA TODAY/Pew Research Center Poll finds. By more than 2-1, those surveyed say her involvement in Bill Clinton's administration would be an asset rather than a liability. Thirty-eight percent say there is no chance they would vote for her if she runs for president, while 35% say there is a good chance they would support her and another 24% say there is "Some chance" They would vote for her.

Clinton preparing for 2016 presidential tilt?
Just over a year after leaving her job as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton has offered views on foreign policy that analysts said seem part of an effort to distance herself from the Obama administration as she prepares a possible 2016 White House run. Ref.
Hillary Clinton is looking very old, by the time the presidential election comes around she may be too frail. Did she ever recover from that head injury?

Hillary Clinton: Gun Laws Are Too Lenient Must Be 'Reined In'
US Gun Related News
During a May 6th speech at a National Council for Behavioral Health conference, while making the case that gun laws are far too lenient and need to be "reined in," Hillary Clinton asserted, "We're way out of balance" on guns. According to the National Journal, "Clinton said she supports Second Amendment rights, [but] she added that there needs to be a proper trade-off between safety and freedom." Clinton stated that the idea "that almost anyone can have a gun anywhere at any time" has "become almost an article of faith." She went on to say that this does not serve...

Now I get the notion of trying to show some empathy for the middle class, but isn't this just assuming the middle class is a bunch of idiots? I chuckled when I heard that comment. I know they had million dollar speaking engagments lined up for Bill and she was going onto the circuit as well. They both were writing books as all presidents do after the leave office now, since U.S. Grant, with millions of dollars of up front money. Source
Now, she just changes the wording to say that she understands what it is like to be living from check to check...even though her next one might be 7 figures. I would have preferred her to Obama, but that isn't saying much. Plus, her stunning lack of clarity of Benghazi is irreprehensible. But I must admit, her timing on saying that her vote on Iraq was wrong is quite a nice attempt to deflect continuing questions on why we didn't do anything for those in Benghazi, when the had repeatedly asked for help. Perhaps we were hoping theyou would be captured and not killed so we could trade more Gitmo detainees for them?

I do not see Hillary Clinton as the next President. After her fall (Hit her head) I thought she would have been done with politics but apparently not. In my opinion the major thing going for her is her gender. Why? The first female President of course. The USA already had her first non-White President, now the next step will be the first woman. A lot of people liked Bill Clinton despite his after hours associations, people hope that Bill can once again have his 'touch' in the White House.
