Did Obama destoy them or did he simply fail to restore them? Sounds like she thinks he is a failure under either scenario.

True, but if things are going so well under Obama, then what needs to change?
lol You wouldn't make much of a campaign director saying "Everything is fine, vote for me!" Why would she pump him up? She wants to pump her own brand up. Every candidate running on either side will say something similar to what you posted that she said. It's typical political speech, very.

Why not? Bush Sr did that after Reagan. Worked for him. There must be a reason why she is wanting to distance herself from him.

I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this analysis, but the political climate is still poisonous. It's near impossible to get both sides to work together on anything but names for post offices. Maybe that's the point of the statement ... maybe. More likely, it sounds positive and campy. I'm still waiting for someone to run on the butterflies and shangri la platform.

Bush Sr did that after Reagan. Couldn't find much evidence of that. I found three campaign slogans that Bush Sr. used, Kinder, gentler nation, Read my lips: No new taxes in the primary and The Thousand Points of Light." in the general election. ,"I will keep America moving forward, always forward -- for a better America, for an endless enduring dream and a thousand points of light". So Bush Sr. states that he can improve things, it's common language. Of course, Bush was Reagan's VP so there's a difference there. I'm sure that Hillary will say whatever she thinks she needs to say to win the prize.

You are so inaccurate it's scary. The incumbent party never runs a Change election particularly when the candidate served in the administration.

Bush's were visionary, not change. Reagan had very high approval numbers. Hillary said RESTORE. Very different. Restore means we had it and lost it and either Obama caused it or didn't fix it. Bad either way. Bush said keep America moving forward not restore what was lost.

It's early, Hillary has a lot of slogans for you.

Hillary doesn't think America has faith, confidence and optimism? She is such a Debby Downer. No Thanks.
