Hillary Clinton Is Flip-Fopping Because She Does Not Want To Answer The 2012 Questions

That Sanders Wanted To Ask President Obama (after the Democratic Party Slide of 2010).
In the October 2015 Democratic Debate, Clinton said that she would go deeper into, go further with, Obama's Policies. Her supporters seem to be very upset about Sanders dissing Obama's record. Hillary Clinton is going to have to answer for Obama and herself.

All are snips. More at links.

HuffPost's Sam Stein pointed out that former president Bill Clinton had come under much heavier scrutiny from members of his party when in office. After facing Democratic skepticism in the wake of substantial losses in the 1994 midterm races, he rebounded before his own reelection in 1996.

I was in Washington last week and visited Bernie in his office, mainly to talk about the incredible results of the Federal Reserve audit, about which I’ll be writing more in the upcoming weeks and after the New Year. The audit of the Fed was undertaken because Bernie and a few other members of congress fought very hard during the Dodd-Frank regulatory reform debate to force open Ben Bernanke’s books, and as a result we now know the staggering details of the secret bailout era. We know that Citigroup received $1.6 trillion in loans, and Morgan Stanley $2 trillion, and Goldman Sachs – the same Goldman Sachs that bragged about how quickly it paid back its $10 billion TARP bailout – over $600 billion. We know that hedge fund billionaires who moved their corporate addresses to the Cayman Islands to avoid U.S. taxes were rewarded by their buddies in government with huge Fed loans; we know that the U.S. government likewise has been extending massive loans to a variety of Japanese car companies at a time when many American auto workers in Detroit have seen their wages cut in half, to $14 an hour. There’s that and there’s more on the outrage front, and we know it all because Sanders kicked and screamed and stamped his feet about Fed secrecy until just enough other members of the Senate decided to go along with him.

The Vermont independent is not running for president, but he says it’s time “that people start asking the president some hard questions about why he said one thing during his previous campaign, and is doing another thing today on Social Security, on Medicare.”
