The Next Democrat Aimed at the Oval Office:MORE Hawkish

[T]heir united front against Mrs. Clinton’s likely Republican opponent in the presidential election this fall masks differences in how they portray the threat from Islamic terrorism at home and how they would wage the campaign to defeat it abroad.

Mrs. Clinton, who served as secretary of state during Mr. Obama’s first term, has advocated a more aggressive military strategy in Syria, including a no-fly zone to protect civilians — something the president has steadfastly rejected. She has spoken more starkly than he has about the threat posed by Islamic State-inspired terrorism in the United States. And she would overhaul the administration’s efforts to counter violent extremism.

“Whatever we learn about this killer, his motives in the days ahead,” Mrs. Clinton said Monday, “we know already the barbarity that we face from radical jihadists is profound.” Mr. Obama has shunned such charged language, arguing that it sows fear. When the nation has acted out of fear after terrorist attacks, he said on Tuesday, “we came to regret it.”

Has he come to regret making the deal with the devil to support Clinton?

Trade is likely to be the most visible dividing line between them. Mr. Obama is pushing hard for Congress to ratify his ambitious Asian trade agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, before he leaves office. As secretary of state, Mrs. Clinton promoted the agreement scores of times. But last fall, facing an unexpectedly robust challenge from Mr. Sanders, she reversed course and came out against it.

No problem. Once she has the nomination and Bernie is out of her way, she can go back to supporting it.  The Hillary Clinton way.



...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
