Grandma Clinton — older, but no less banal

You almost wish that if we’re going to get Hillary Clinton back on the national presidential campaign stage for 2016, we would get an older, more interesting person.

But apparently her banality knows no bounds.

First she says Oct. 24 this: “Don’t let anybody tell you that, you know, it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.”

Then she comes back this week and says that she “shorthanded” her point on Oct. 24.

“[S]o let me be absolutely clear about what I’ve been saying for a couple of decades”.

“Our economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs create good-paying jobs here in an America where workers and families are empowered to build from the bottom up and the middle out – not when we hand out tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs or stash their profits overseas.”

What am I missing? Grandma Hillary’s “shorthand” statement on Oct. 24 bears absolutely no resemblance to what she contends now is her “clarification”. In fact, pretty much the opposite.

What kind of shorthand is that?

When she takes notes does she here “yes” but write “no”; hear “Israel” but write “Hamas”; or hear “balanced budget” but write “spend, spend, spend”?

I know I’m being a little over the top. But not much. What, exactly, does this potential presidential candidate think about how jobs are created?

Is it the “shorthand” Hillary, or the damage control Hillary?
