Hillary Clinton To Launch Presidential Bid In April by Nobody: 7:27am On Mar 02, 2015 |
Hillary Clinton reportedly plans to announce her candidacy for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination in April. The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday Clinton and her close advisers decided on the move to allay uncertainties and boost fundraising. News of the pending announcement comes as stories surfaced about money the Clinton Foundation has accepted from foreign and corporate donors while she was secretary of state. The reports threaten to complicate Clinton's presumed plan to focus on her foreign policy credentials in any campaign. Clinton had been expected to put off an announcement until summer, but donors had been holding back, thwarting fundraising efforts. A source told the Journal John Podesta played a big role in the decision. She is expected to skip the step of forming an exploratory committee. Money appears to be the issue. Clinton is expected to raise more than $1 billion for her campaign, topping the $716 million the Center for Responsive Politics said was collected by President Obama in 2012. Clinton, who is considered the frontrunner and faces little competition, had been reluctant to enter the fray so soon. Polls have shown her far ahead of her nearest rival, Vice President Joe Biden. Clinton has been working with policy experts to craft a message and platform, and close adviser Huma Abedin has been meeting with supporters. The Washington Post reported last week that during Clinton's tenure as secretary of state, the Clinton Foundation raked in millions of dollars from seven foreign governments, including one donation for earthquake relief in Haiti from Algeria that should have been cleared by the State Department first. The donation coincided with an Algerian effort to lobby the United States on human rights issues. Other questionable monies came from Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Australia, Norway and the Dominican Republic. The foundation, which has raised nearly $2 billion since its inception in 2001, defended some of the gifts as multiyear grants that were awarded before Hillary Clinton joined the Obama administration. The Post also reported foreign donations made up made up a third of gifts exceeding $1 million over time. http://www.ibtimes.com/election-2016-hillary-clinton-reported-ready-announce-candidacy-next-month-1832226 |

The GOP are making it a cake walk election for Hilary. They are running Ads against Jeb Bush for giving her an award after the Benghazi incident |

Missy89:Dumb move as usual. It seems the Repubs haven't learned their lesson from the 2012 cycle where they took turns in bashing Romney, which Obama used in the general election. |

Obiagelli:Yeah, Hillary is, so far, leading by over 40% in various opinion polls on the Democratic side. In some polls, she scorers 65%, while her closest challenger gets 11% or below |

How old is Hillary Clinton again? Oh, 67. If she wins, she'll be sworn in at 69, and she might very well spend 8 years,, meaning she'll be leaving the white house at 77. Later, someone will tell me Buhari is too old to be President, especially when the younger contestant with a supposed Ph. D. degree is working very hard to break his own already set record of being the worst president we have ever had. When it comes to leadership, integrity and competence are considered beyond age. 1 Like |

Hillary clinton will become US president by 2016 and muhammadu buhari will become NIGERIA president from may29,2015.......mark my words... |
Re: Hillary Clinton To Launch Presidential Bid In April by Nobody: 12:43am On Mar 03, 2015 |
FindOut:Hillary would likely pick a much younger person as her running mate (Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Julian Castro or Cory Booker) with an agreement that she would be a one-term president. |

How come the same people who are complaining about Tinubu are not doing the same about Clinton and bush 1992 was a bush vs Clinton. 24yrs later might be the same. How come Americans are not complaining about the age of Hilary like Nigerians are |
Re: Hillary Clinton To Launch Presidential Bid In April by FindOut(m): 1:46pm On Mar 04, 2015 |
CFCfan: And why would she do this? Age? Ronald Reagan was sworn in as President two weeks to his 70th birthday and he served two full terms, leaving the white house just before he clocked 78. Health grounds? She wouldn't even be running at all if that were the case. Again, I do not think age will be a serious issue. |

I'll like to see this woman become America's president. I was cut between her and Obama in 2008 but i had to settle for Obama because his presidency represents a lot. Now, we have an African- |

Afam4eva: It's possible for a person of Igbo or Nigerian descent to be US president only if the person was born in the US, and has resided in the country for at least 14 years. |
Re: Hillary Clinton To Launch Presidential Bid In April by Afam4eva(m): 3:27pm On Mar 04, 2015 |
CFCfan:That's exactly my point. Maybe Oguagua or you (are you a citizen) ? |
Re: Hillary Clinton To Launch Presidential Bid In April by Nobody: 3:32pm On Mar 04, 2015 |
Afam4eva:Ogugua fulfills the requirements because she is a citizen by birth. I am a naturalized citizen, so I ain't eligible. But I could be her Chief of Staff |
Re: Hillary Clinton To Launch Presidential Bid In April by Afam4eva(m): 3:34pm On Mar 04, 2015 |
CFCfan:Really? I thought citizenship was citizenship irrespective of how it is gotten. How about citizenship by Marriage? |
Re: Hillary Clinton To Launch Presidential Bid In April by Nobody: 3:43pm On Mar 04, 2015 |
Afam4eva:Citizenship by marriage still doesn't make one eligible. To be eligible to be run for US president, one could also be born abroad (outside the US) to US citizens or one US citizen. |
Re: Hillary Clinton To Launch Presidential Bid In April by Afam4eva(m): 3:58pm On Mar 04, 2015 |
CFCfan:Chai, Americans are smart oo. So, where's Ogugua? |
Re: Hillary Clinton To Launch Presidential Bid In April by Nobody: 4:11pm On Mar 04, 2015 |
Afam4eva:She stays in northern California. We chat, sometimes, on fb. |

First female president or vice president near-certain come 2016 One way or another, there’s likely to be a woman in the White House in 2017.http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/235448-a-woman-in-the-white-house-in-2017-its-likely |

Hillary looks like a divisive figure in america she's not very popular I read comments about her on yahoo news today 1500 comments and non was favourable the comments were hateful n spiteful one even said an hillary presidency will bring back the north v south american revolution. I think the general impression in the us is that obama presidency is a mistake. and really I cant fault them. he promised change but all we could see both at home n abroad is continuity of the same hegemonic order. a lot of americanse are angry n tired. they felt they were swindled by the first-time mantra in 2008. now, they want nothing of such. unfortunately, hillary campaign bears such similarities- first female president. Moreover, most Americans feels hillary represent everything that is wrong with washington- elitist govt, arrogance, power obsession, excessive welfarism........ then is the issue of Clinton v Bush dynasty. democrats will do well to present a more open, less controversial candidate. I think its time americans do away with both the Bushs' n the clintons' 1 Like |
