White House hints Clinton would be 'Obama 2.0'

  • 8 years ago
White House spokesperson Josh Earnest admitted at a press briefing Tuesday that US President Barack Obama and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton share an exceedingly similar foreign policy.
"I'm not particularly surprised to hear that, even after your careful review, that you've determined that their approach to a large number of foreign policy issues is at least similar," Earnest replied, indicating the idea of her being an "Obama 2.0" is not surprising.
Washington Free Beacon notes that the admission to similarities does not necessarily bode well for Clinton, given the backlash seen against Obama particularly over his foreign policy, which many see as greatly underestimating the threat of Islamic terror by allowing in multitudes of Syrian migrants without firm checks in place.
