Charlie Rose interviewed Hillary in two segments that aired on “CBS This Morning” today. She spoke about her plan to combat ISIS: sending combat troops would not be her strategy. She also addressed her Wall St. ties. She said anyone who thinks support from Wall St. would influence her does not know her. As to why she is running for president, with the White House in the background, she said it is not to move back in there. She called this election a watershed moment when we can either get the economy back on track for the majority, or we will find ourselves back in the economy of the 1920s. The full interview will re-air this evening on Charlie Rose’s PBS program.
Later today, she will be in Montgomery, Alabama keynoting an event commemorating Rosa Parks and the bus boycott that began with her refusal to give up her seat.
Hillary Clinton details plan to defeat ISIS, defends ties to Wall Street
In her first television interview since the Paris attacks, Hillary Clinton spoke to “CBS This Morning” co-host Charlie Rose about her plans to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and controversies over her ties with Wall Street.
Sticking by President Obama’s current strategy, the former secretary of state said she could not “conceive of any circumstances” where she would agree to send American combat troops to fight ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
“We don’t know yet how many Special Forces… trainers and surveillance and enablers might be needed,” Clinton told Rose at the Hay Adams, across the White House. “But in terms of thousands of combat troops like some on the Republican side are recommending… it should be a non-starter, both because I don’t think it’s the smartest way to go after ISIS – I think it gives ISIS a new recruitment tool if we get back in the fight.”

Two little known facts about Hillary’s supposed “coziness” with Wall St.: The Republican candidates combined have gotten more money from Wall St. than Hillary has. And in 2008, Barack Obama received more 💰 from Wall St. than his eventual opponent, John McCain. There was no drumbeat of criticism of Obama’s “coziness” with financial firms, even as the financial system melted down.

It gets better! In 2012, President Obama received more campaign contributions from Bain Capital, the firm Mitt Romney co-founded and which Obama’s campaign successfully demonized. A few in the media mentioned this startling fact, but no one, and I mean no one, demanded that the president justify taking contributions from a financial firm his own campaign was portraying as the root of all evil. The contrast to Hillary’s constantly being grilled about Wall St. contributions is stark. And very curious.
