Hillary Clinton Will Evoke Roosevelt and Try to Ease Fears on Trust in New York Speech
New York Times ^ | June 11, 2015 | Amy Chozick

Posted on 06/12/2015 4:30:05 PM PDT by lbryce

Hillary Rodham Clinton, at a major outdoor rally planned for Saturday, will directly address concerns that have emerged in the early weeks of her candidacy, telling voters they can trust her to fight for the middle class and stressing that she cares about their problems, several people briefed on her plans say.

The speech, at an event shaping up to be the most ambitious public gathering undertaken by the campaign since Mrs. Clinton began her quest for the White House in April, will be shaped by symbolism as she seeks to make the case for why she should be president.

It will be held in New York City on an island named for Franklin D. Roosevelt, in the shadow of diverse middle-class neighborhoods, as Mrs. Clinton tries to evoke the legacy of the New Deal and lay out her vision for a federal government substantially engaged in lifting American families that feel economically insecure and increasingly left behind.

Well, of all the bad things I’ve heard about Roosevelt I don’t think I’ve ever heard that he was a crook.

The idea that you are going to invoke FDR in any way, ANY WAY, by giving a speech on Roosevelt Island is just box of rocks dumb.

Roosevelt Island was known as Welfare Island until 1971. It’s a better name.

“The complaints are now mounting about what a “fighter” she has been...”

Yes, I was listening to the snarky Julie Mason (I think that might be her name) on the sirius POTUS channel today.

Even the liberal MSMers who go on that show really couldn’t keep a straight face when discussing how Hillary wants to be seen as a “fighter”.

I guess her battle motto is: she who hides and runs away, lives to fight another day.

Most assuredly, hitlery, and her first lady huma are supported by the dyke/lesbo artsie salon mafia. The same people as before. Be interesting to know is Lynn Forester de Rothschild is backing her again, or certainly a major donor to the Clinton massage parlor and cash machine foundation.

The island was used for hospitals.

...It will be held on an island named for Franklin D. Roosevelt.....”

Yeah, Riiiight. In 1971 the name was changed from.... Welfare Island.

Wikipedia: In 1971, Welfare Island was renamed Roosevelt Island in honor of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and four years later, planning for his eponymous park, Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park, started...

How absolutely typically REGAL of the liberal leftie like her.... all of the shiite of the lib FDR New Deal (which was a RAW deal) to BUY votes using money beholden by FOREIGN powers who expect a return.
THIS is how you fake out what is left of the working people of America for the LAST time.

What a consummate a- howl this “thing” of a shemale is. My GOD. We must NOT run Jeb Bush against her. It has to be a ball breaker kick a@@ candidate. Hand her lying head to her.
This has to stop. NOW.

Isn’t it delicious that the Democrats are at last voicing their exhaustion with Hillary antics, her presumption and arrogance? Long time coming.

Like Fatal Attraction, she just keeps emerging!!

You mean she is not doing a D-Day landing on Grifters Island at all?

The island WAS the original location of the New York Lunatic Asylum. So there is that to support her candidacy— that and hummus abedin Weiner and her husband “show me your” Weiner, former congressman.

This is too rich for belief. What sheer idiocy to affiliate with a dyke looney married to the philandering crippled one world neo-socialist Franklin.

The model couple. Now if only Bill could develop polio and confine to a wheelchair. But wait... he does have tertiary syphilis— evidenced by his behaviour and gait. He’s a goner in the equation.

She can review for the hand picked crowd her accomplishments as SOS.

“Well, I’m glad you asked me that! My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know…the remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn’t do that and I’m proud of that. Very proud. I would say that’s a major accomplishment.”

“She has to articulate an authentic, compelling rationale for her candidacy, a cause and vision that is larger than her own ambitions,” said David Axelrod, a former senior adviser to President Obama.

But David, there IS nothing greater than her ambition!
