KEENE, N.H. (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton has a dismal assessment of the U.S. economy. She says it's "stalled out."

Campaigning for president, Clinton toured a wood furniture factory in Keene, New Hampshire, on Monday. It's her first visit to the early primary state since she launched her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

As she showed in Iowa last week, Clinton is highlighting struggles of "everyday Americans" even if her remarks undercut the message of President Barack Obama, a fellow Democrat who sees the economy in a brighter light.

In Keene, Clinton said she came from a small-business family and the country needs to do more to help entrepreneurs. As she put it: "It's not enough just to tread water."

1. Tell us something we don't know

like what will you do about it. What is your economic plan?

2. Hillary said we already fought back...

in her "getting started" video!?!

"Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times..."

But now it's stalled?

Her donors have reaped
95% of the gains...

[Renew Deal]

5. Can't both statements be true?

[Cosmic Kitten]

6. Possibly, but Hillary did not adress the "problems"

She seems to focus on how well we are all doing...
moving to new school districts,
starting new businesses,
graduating college, getting a great job,
starting a new job in a factory,
retiring and reinventing oneself,
etc...
NOTHING about a stalled economy


Did she mention WHY
the economy is stalled?

3. She didn't need to tell me.

4. And a key factor in getting up steam again

will be a couple of DANDY global trade agreements - or so her hubby's probably advising her.

7. Stalled out? It never got started

all this hype about the improving economy and job growth. We are still millions of jobs negative, the 1% are the only ones who have actually seen economic growth while majority working class are still, will still struggle to just keep what they have.

8. i don't trust that analysis

it says she's undercutting the President's message, but the President usually qualifies his economic message in the same way: "we've improved but it's not enough." I suspect with more context, we would see that Hillary said the same thing.

9. it's amazing that every AP story has "stalled out" in the headline

but I can't find any that quotes the entire sentence that quote came from.

10. Welcome to the "Red Pill". This has been going on for YEARS. The media is tabloid and shallow

and only reflects a small subset of viewpoints and "facts": Omission and distortion are common.

Most "journalists" in the field are there for emotional effect, not to uncover. The stories you see in media come from "syndicates" that mass produce articles and then they get slightly altered by the outlets. Most of the stories are put together at a desk.

Once you start paying more attention to war reporting then it really shows. The most easily obtainable (and cheapest) "stories" are produced as part of the information war component. Conflicts are rarely "covered" anymore, they are "summarized" and fit into narratives.

11. Let's face facts. Things are WAY better than during the bush/ch---- years.

That's why it's true when Obama says things are better.

But recently, things have stalled again.

[Major Hogwash]

12. Yet, during her tenure in the Senate, Hillary did NOTHING to promote the poor or the middle class.

Back when she had the power to do so, and when it mattered the most, she didn't sponsor one bill in the Senate to help the rest of us.

Funny thing, that thing they call having a voting record.
Hers is dismal.
