Question for democrats
 

And I think it is fair to ask and ask now....

Hillary Clinton said last night she would not bail out troubled banks.

President Obama has and still would bail out troubled banks.

On what side to you Democrats come down on ??

I would not and do not believe what either of the them says. The comments Clinton is making is strictly for votes....NOTHING MORE!

AGAIN, do any posters from the liberal or progressive side have an opinion on an issue ???????

There are only so many things that can be said ABOUT people. Sometimes you have to stand up and take a stand on an issue like this.

Why do no posters who are liberal or progressive ever post on issues ?????

Well if Clinton is serious she is going to have to repeal Dodd Frank and the Consumer Financial Board it created

Personal Best Regards:

question
 

I believe the poster asked for Democrats to respond, you are not a Democrat.
How do I know, a Democrat would not respond as you have.

I'm not a Dem, but I am a liberal. I understood why the banks were bailed out but I certainly didn't like it. Same would apply today. I don't want to see a worldwide depression but I'm a firm believer that companies should sink or swim on their own merits. Welfare for banks, automobile companies, etc. is just not right. And, before you ask, yes I do believe in welfare for the uneducated, unskilled, unemployed or those earning poverty wages. However, I do believe it should be for a limited time and should include education and job training.

If she was to get elected, she can't repeal it. She can sign a law, passed by both houses of Congress, to repeal it but she herself can't do it unilaterally. This is a point most people miss when they listen to candidates: they can say anything they want but without a law being passed by Congress they can't do much, the executive order overreach by the current administration notwithstanding.

Your post was good and accurate and made a lot of sense - until your last clause. You then lapsed into partisan rhetoric.

Fact, rhetoric or opinion...some people can't tell the difference.

The problem with your logic is Republicans want to get rid of Dodd Frank. She isn't out there pushing this like Republicans with Obamacare. The problem with this comment is Republicans can push it through Congress, and force her to backup up her statement. Given her nature, she will do the Clinton two step, and say I wouldn't have bailed them out then, but given history it was the right thing to do. If anyone doesn't think that she would say anything to get elected, they haven't been looking.

The fact of the matter this is politics 101, say anything or do anything to get elected. You can have the best ideas in the world. If you don't get elected, what good are they? Then you run for reelection on your record. She has taken this course numerous times, and also every advanced course on the subject.

Why are you asking about Hillary's nature? You know all her answers are politically acceptable to the majority of voters, whether she believes them or not. Is there anyone out there campaigning for the presidency that wouldn't do the same thing? Take a good look at the immigration debate, haven't several of them danced away from a previous position? Morals are a bridge to far in or on your way to Washington.

The fact that the government created the problem in the first place they had no choice but to bail out the banks. With the onset of a major collapse of the world economy the United States government would have been responsible. And as I have said before it stemmed from the Clinton era. No I'm not democrat but (WHAT DOES IT MATTER)

Wow, a new one. Instead of PC, we now have PR (partisan rhetoric). Add that one to the list of liberal terms of blame:

PR
PC
Racist
Sexist
Homophobe
Bigot
Hitler
Radical
Right winger
Tea Ba..er

And their favorite...."Bush did it."

As the OP, the point of the thread was that Clinton and Obama disagreed on this issue and still do.

Curious how deems see .

Hey, Mr. List Maker, before making your list think is there anything on there that applies to Republicans. You want a list of Republican terms of blame, several will look familiar:
PR
PC
Racist
Bigot
Hitler
Radical
Left winger
Socialist
Communist
Hater (hates America)
Kenyan
Muslim
doubles downer (debt)
Obamacare
dictator for life wannabe
pot head
liar
cheater
baby killer
unqualified to be dog catcher let alone president
can't/doesn't want to fix anything
IRS scandal
Benghazi scandal
Iran deal
gets out of Iraq
hates Israel
loves Cubans
swaps radical Muslims for deserter
takes credit for killing Bin Laden
their best "W" didn't do anything wrong. It is Obama's fault.

I am a Dem and I believe that the banks and stock exchange should NOT have been bailed out and the bad actors should have faced criminal charges!
