Clinton launches her campaign with memories of Obama

Few will read from start to finish the 600 pages of ‘Hard Choices’, the new book by Hillary Clinton. The book, a memoir of her years as Secretary of State of her former rival, Barack Obama, offers little new. As with most books of politicians in the United States, she has not written it herself. In the acknowledgments she recognizes the work of a “team” that has helped bring order to her notes.

The book, which on Tuesday hit bookstores and has already sold over a million copies, is not important. The publication of ‘Hard choices’ is launching a campaign that can convert the former first lady to become first female U.S. president in 2017.

The crowds that gathered at the Barnes and Noble bookstore in Union Square in Manhattan to attend the book signing, the first act in a mall tour, television studios and universities nationwide – recall similar scenes eight years ago. So who caused the queues was a young senator from Illinois, Barack Obama, author of another best seller, ‘ The Audacity of Hope ‘. That was a preview of the presidential campaign of 2008, leading Obama to the White House. It was the beginning of Obama mania.

Hillary Clinton will not announce if presented until 2015, once held legislative elections next November, explained Monday night in an interview with veteran journalist Diane Sawyer on ABC. But the tour to present the book is the most obvious sign of which would be difficult for the application to be reversed.

Adrienne Elrod is an old friend of the Clinton family. Her father, a reputed lawyer in Arkansas, the state of Bill Clinton, the ex preisdent known since they were teenagers, as have journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes in ‘ HRC ‘, one of the recent books on the stage in front of the Department of State between 2009 and 2013. Elrod was part of the campaign team of Hillary Clinton in 2008, when the candidate, who started as favorite, lost the first of the Democratic Party against rookie Obama. Now acts as communications director Correct Record.

“No”, tertiary Elrod ‘s question if you have started the Clinton presidential race. She has written a memoir adds. Nothing more.

In the nineties, Clinton denounced the existence of a “vast conspiracy” of the extreme right against her and her husband. In 2008 the primary image of Clinton as prone to manipulation and double fold the handicapped. Her supporters want to make sure this does not happen again.

Elrod is a piece in a vast constellation of collaborators and supporters of Hillary Clinton, an army ready to take the field when Democratic politics give the order.

The first skirmishes have begun. In the interview with Sawyer, Clinton said, to justify the hundreds of thousands of dollars she and her husband paid for lecture, which, on leaving the White House, Clinton was ” ruined “. In a country with growing inequalities, the words of Clinton multimillion reopened criticism about his identification with the establishment and disconnection with the middle classes who decide elections.

‘ Hare Choices ‘ is not a book by a former politician but a paper campaign to wash a damaged scandals in years of first lady image and the defeat of 2008, its next – humanize condition grandmother deserves a mention, and strengthen his credentials as a statesman.

Obama distances himself from Clinton, but just right. In foreign policy is more aggressive, more convinced of the need for strong U.S. leadership. It explains, for example, that she defended in Syria, against the advice of the White House, arming the rebels. And she believes that the U.S. should have been more careful when dropping the Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak after protests in Tahrir Square in 2011, or that the president was too severe with Benyamin Netanyahu.

At the same time, words of praise dedicated to Obama. She says his decision to order the operation that killed Osama bin Laden was one of the exhibits ” more vigorous and courageous” leadership I have ever witnessed. Not bad coming from a woman who lived with another commander for eight years in the White House and that, during the 2008 primaries, questioned his international experience and his ability to make decisions in critical moments of his opponent..

Clinton also admits that voting for the Iraq war in 2002, when he was a senator, was a mistake and I should have made clear their repentance before. But rejects any blame for the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya during the assault on Benghazi in 2012, an episode in which Republicans see a weak point of the former Secretary of State.

” Shall I come for president in 2016?” She asks in the final pages of the book. “The time for another difficult decision will come soon,” she concludes.
