What President Obama’s legacy means to me

Jan 19, 2016 by Hillary Clinton


snip//

On January 20, 2017, America will begin our next chapter. A new president will stand on the steps of the Capitol, raise one hand, and take the oath of office. From that moment on, he or she will decide whether we defend and build on the progress we’ve made under President Obama—or tear it all away.

That feels pretty personal to me—not just as an American who supports President Obama, but also as someone who was proud to work alongside him at the White House.

I remember vividly the day after the 2008 election when President-elect Obama asked me to come see him in Chicago. It turned out that he would ask me to be secretary of state. But first, we talked about everything he was doing to get ready for his first term—and everything he was learning about the reality of the economic crisis our country was facing. The president-elect was getting briefings every day, sometimes several times a day. And the news was not good. He turned to me and said, “It is so much worse than they told us.”

He was right.

By the time President Obama was sworn into office, we were on the brink of another Great Depression. Before the worst was over, we were losing 800,000 jobs a month, 5 million Americans lost their homes, and 13 trillion dollars of family wealth was wiped away. Meanwhile, our auto industry—the pride of American manufacturing and ingenuity for decades—was on the verge of collapse. It turned out to be the second-worst financial crisis in our country’s history.

President Obama changed all that. Look where we are today. We’ve had 70 straight months of private-sector job growth. Our businesses have created 14.1 million jobs. The unemployment rate is the lowest in seven years. And the auto industry just had its best year ever.

getting Hillary's "What President Obama’s legacy means to me" in the OP.. I remembered that you had posted that somewhere @ one point in time.. not too long ago..

It's so brilliant.. that he chose Hillary to be his SOS and she said Yes( I heard he asked her 3 times).. and it all turned out this way. It's almost too good to be true.. but It Is!

Hillary!

It's like they wasted money in those areas where people liked Obama
