"A think tank with ties to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton issued strong criticisms Thursday of the Obama administration’s strategy to combat the Islamic State, with analysts writing that the U.S. is “failing” and needs to change course. Two former Obama national security aides broke with the president by urging the deployment of American ground troops to directly help the disheveled Iraqi army. One used the word “failing” to describe how the administration is arming the Baghdad military."
So, does Hillary lose the black vote or the peacenik vote? The ex-Obama administrators, one who is looking for a spot as Hillary's Defense Secretary, are calling for ground troops. Is this an Obama diss?

The link to Hillary is very weak - she has little if anything to do with the CNAS think tank.
But what about the lefty peaceniks like Code Pink, for example, and all of the snoozes in academia? It seems to me if she was going to fly in Obama's face, she'd side with them for a full pull out. This looks like she's alienating the black vote and the peacenik vote.
Remeber what happened the last time Code Ponk desire to maintain a consistant message all of the sudden put them on the wrong side of liberals: All of the sudden they, to the media, no longer existed.

Hillary knows that the Gruberites will vote for her just like they did for Obama, although some of the black vote will probably stay home because she does not have the capacity to inspire them in the way that Barack Obama did.
So she is moving to the middle before the primary even begins. Obviously a candidate could not do this in the Republican primary, even if was as uncompetitive as the Democratic field appears to be this cycle, as Republican voters would regard that as a demonstration of utter disrespect and disregard for the values of that constituency.
But considering the lack of comparable standards by the Gruberites, - she can do really pretty much anything and they will vote for her - the devout anti-war left may whine and moan about this, but they will vote for her come November 2016 and Hillary Clinton knows it. It is probably a pretty shrewd move on her part.
The left has already gone all-in with Hillary. Who else are they going to vote for?
I'm sure there will be a few to step in like martin o'malley. We are not all hillary fans. But I would rather have a few than a kazillion republicans running lol What a nightmare all the debates will be for them.
I don't like Obama and I can't stand the Clintons, but what this is all about is Hillary sticking her finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing. She would throw her mother under the bus unjustifiably in order to get elected.
Not sure what you mean here. We were talking about her policy stances on peace/war and on racial issues. It really won't be hard for her to look better than an R on those issues.
All she has to do is continue to pretend.
Too bad for her it does not come off as genuine.
TO her advantage there are many that won't even notice it or will excuse it.
