Clinton to Hold LA Fundraisers with Warren Buffett and the Muppets
Democratic presidential candidate and former secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that President Barack Obama called her when negotiators had reached a deal on Iran’s nuclear program.
Even without any numbers, Clinton’s backing for the Buffett proposal is notable, because she has already proposed billions in new spending for education, infrastructure, health care and other priorities.
Clinton’s campaign said the two plan to discuss their “shared belief that we need to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top, and their shared commitment to tax reforms that ensure that the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share”.
“I’m going to be so delighted when Clinton takes the oval office”, he concluded.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been making her rounds on the campaign circuit, especially in the Midwest.
Still, Democrats have been slow to warm to Clinton, who’s often viewed as the quintessential corporate liberal more concerned about being the first woman president than advancing the cause.
The Omaha rally brought Clinton to deep-red Nebraska, which is holding its caucus on March 5, prompting her to joke that local Democrats should tell their Republican friends: “I don’t have horns”.
She was joined by billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who said he supports Clinton because of her commitment to narrow the gap between rich and poor.
The comments came as Clinton answered questions from voters in Iowa on Wednesday (December 16). A Des Moines Register/Bloomberg poll released this week shows her up 9 points over her biggest rival for the nomination, Sen.
“I think Bernie is a better candidate, but he doesn’t have the traditional support”, Hussein said.
Voting rights should be protected, she said, and the Citizens United court decision that unleashed virtually unrestricted campaign funding should be reversed.
Mr. Buffett also agreed with Mrs. Clinton that no one in the US should work more than one full-time job to provide for the needs of their family. Specifically, the official said, that will include an “expanded” version of what the Obama administration has dubbed its “Buffett rule” proposal that Buffett backs.
Clinton has said she’s talked about Wall Street excess for years, and has vowed to seek criminal penalties for bankers who break the rules.
“Incidentally, I went to Wharton, too”, Buffett said, referring to the University of Pennsylvania’s business school, which Trump attended. Really. I mean, she sings, she’s up, she’s down.
For Constance, what the Republicans have pulled on Planned Parenthood this past year was just too much, and she’s looking to Clinton to continue the universal healthcare initiatives she started alongside her husband.
“We know that those who are promoting anti-Muslim sentiment, they have a leader, they have a face”, El-Amin said.
