She went to NASDAQ?

[MFrohike]

Is this is a misstatement? Clinton just said she went to NASDAQ in December 2007 to tell them to "cut it out" presumably regarding the subprime crisis. Given that NASDAQ is a stock exchange, I don't get why anyone would go there to complain about fraudulent loans and their securitization, especially since those securities weren't listed on an exchange.

So, is this just a misstatement? I've heard the story about her going to Wall Street back then before, but I don't recall a mention of NASDAQ. Did she mean to say something else and just said the wrong thing or is this a consistent claim?

1. Yes, who better to negotiate change with the than someone who represented them in Congress?

Could Bernie even get an audience with them?

5. That's been done, repeatedly

The Justice Department, in particular, has done quite a bit of that. How's that working out in terms of reducing fraud and financial predation?

2. Yes, she did

In all fairness, even though I'm a Bernie supporter, she did do what she said she did:

3. Ok, now it makes sense

I thought she was speaking to the people at NASDAQ, rather than using it as a site for a speech. Thanks for the link.

6. Clear as an azure sky of deepest summer.

Exactly what else could going to NASDAQ mean?

[MFrohike]

7. Clearly

I don't know how I thought "I went to NASDAQ and I told them to cut it out" could mean anything but "I made a speech regarding foreclosures while using NASDAQ as a venue." Sheesh.

8. I was confused about her remark, too. Glad you got it clarified. nt

4. Yes she did. I think it was at Daytona

Or maybe it was Talladega.

9. Stephen Colbert goofed on Clinton's "cut it out" line

...after she used it during the first Democratic debate.

Colbert then moved on to Hillary Clinton, (portraying her as) a frustrated mom telling Wall Street bankers to “cut it out” and that they would have to go to bed without their cocaine if they don’t shape up!
