WASHINGTON, D.C.: Hillary Clinton, who regularly promoted White House efforts to complete a huge trade accord with Pacific Rim countries while she was USA secretary of state, came out on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) against the deal. I know, when President Obama came into office, he inherited a trade agreement with South Korea.

I think that is correct. This gives her all the space she needs to make another miraculous about-face if she becomes president.
Hillary Rodham Clinton says that jail was the “right thing” for a Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
As a result of what she called Republican obstruction to needed investment in infrastructure, education and innovation, “America is less competitive than we should be”, she said in a later statement confirming her opposition.
Obama has been dubbed “Deporter-in-Chief” by a few immigration advocates for the record-high number of deportations under his administration. Clinton was known as one of the most serious policy wonks to ever run for president, and her network included most of Democratic Party’s top policy staff, many of whom had worked directly for her or her husband.
“I am pleased the passage of TPA earlier this year will allow the public to fully review the text of TPP, and I look forward to receiving input from my constituents and other stakeholders”, Tiberi said.

“Clinton’s main rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Bernie Sanders – he leads her in New Hampshire and is nipping at her heels in Iowa – has called the deal “disastrous” for American workers”, National Review explained Wednesday.
Obama, a fierce supporter of the deal, says the partnership “levels the playing field for our farmers, ranchers and manufacturers”.
It should be emphasized that Clinton is hardly alone when it comes to waffling on trade.
There is an obvious difference in tenor between Clinton’s remarks as a member of the Obama administration and today as a presidential candidate. “There are still a lot of unanswered questions”, Clinton said. “It’s complicated, and the Russians would have to be part of it, or it wouldn’t work”.
Drilling in the Arctic Ocean is too risky, she argues.
Sanders, however, released a statement saying he stands with the president here and opposes the no-fly zone. She was obviously my secretary of state.
Liberal Democrats have spent months calling on Clinton to take a more aggressive approach to regulating Wall Street.
Policy wonks agreed, and Clinton faced a storm of criticism for her pander.
Hillary Clinton said, “The bar here is very high and based on what I have seen”.
“I certainly share the goal of never having to bail out the big banks again, but I prefer the path of tackling the most unsafe risks in a different way”, she wrote.
