*'Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times,' says the multimillionaire politician in a launch video *Her chief of staff stepped on her big moment with an email to donors saying, 'I wanted to make sure you heard it first from me' *Clinton's press office left an embarrassing typo in its press announcement, saying that she had 'fought children and families all her career' *Official campaign website is full of biographical material but includes no policy statements or issue platforms *Republican Party fires its opening salvo: 'Americans need a president they can trust and voters do not trust Hillary Clinton' *Hillary will start her 'listening tour' in Iowa and New Hampshire without huge fanfare, and then have a more formal launch event in May *Wunderkind campaign manager, 35, was a child when she was first lady and didn't live through her defining White House scandals Hillary Rodham Clinton is running for president, leaning on a message of middle-class rescue and claims that America's economy is 'still stacked in favor of those at the top,' according to a campaign video that went online Sunday afternoon. 'I'm getting ready to do something,' Clinton says in the brief ad, following a series of clips of ordinary-looking Americans describing what they're 'getting ready' for. 'I'm running for president,' she says. 'Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion.' That message is a daring one, given Clinton's wealth. When she left the U.S. State Department in 2013, her financial disclosure report showed that her combined net worth with her husband was between $5.2 and $25.5 million. Millions more rolled in when she published her memoirs. She famously claimed last year that she and former president Bill Clinton were 'dead broke' whenthey left the White House in 2001 – when they moved into a palatial home in a tree-lined New York City suburb. Clinton's chief of staff John Podesta pushed a similar 'middle-class' message, but stepped on her announcement with his own email to a group of donors. Poster Comment: From her mother’s own childhood – in which she was abandoned by her parents – to her work going door-to-door for the Children’s Defense Fund to her battling to create the Children’s Health Insurance Program, she’s fought children and families all her career. Clinton's press office left an embarrassing typo in its press announcement, saying that she had 'fought children and families all her career' Freudian slip? LOL

The witch has risen with a new mouthful of freshly minted curses to inflict upon us. Hide the women and children. The only way to stop her is to drive a stake through her heart. The best we can expect from the Republicans is to quibble over some long erased Emails.

LOL that has to be the best post in weeks:)
She's teflon . The emails themselves are egregious enough to indict her . Her performace as Sec State was horrible in every way except perhaps in Burma ,and in accumulating frequent traveler miles . Benghazi ? "What difference.....? " Reset ... "What difference.....? " Egypt.."What difference.....? " Transparency ..."What difference.....? " Bluster without the ability to back it up (she told Russia they would pay a heavy price for vetoing UN sanctions on Syria ) "What difference.....? " Forget her term as Senator from NY . She did nothing except to prepare a run for the Presidency . There is plenty ammo if the Republicans grew some cahones. But as Rick Lazio found out ;There is a price to pay for stepping on her toes.She has the 5th column....oops I mean the 4th estate on her side. During their debate ,Lazio crossed over to her podium to pressure her to sign a pledge about the use of 'soft money' . He was pilloried by the press as being a bully . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMJZo4UeTYQ http://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/19/nyregion/mrs-clinton-portrays-lazio-as-bully- and-derides-his-tax-plan.html
