Anyone who dozed off after the first several hours of Thursday night’s #DemDebate in New York might have thought that Hillary Clinton was leaning heavily on President Obama to prove herself qualified for the office he now holds.
Disappointed Clinton doesn't just come out hugging a cardboard cutout Barack Obama.

It took until the foreign policy segment of the debate, and discussion of Libya and Syria in particular, for Clinton to throw her former boss under the bus. Taking the “I just work here” approach, Clinton explained that as a member of the Obama administration, the best she could do was provide recommendations to the president.

Hillary just called Obama's policies in Syria "a disaster."

If you think what I did to Libya was bad, just take a look at what I did to Syria! ~ Hillary #DemDebate

#DemDebate So Hillary is the new Obama except for the fuck up in Lybia and Syria which are his fault. Talking 'bout having it both ways

Hillary takes credit when Obama does good things, says "my job is just to make recommendations" when he did something unpopular. Amazing.

Hillary: I was the secretary of state, and the President doesn't listen to my recommendations. But America should! #Logic #DemDebate
