Obama et les critiques d'Hillary Clinton: un petit câlin?

Hillary Clinton est dans une position délicate lorsqu'elle s'exprime au sujet de la politique étrangère. Si elle présente sa candidature pour l'investiture démocrate elle doit à la fois défendre son bilan au Secrétariat d'État (donc défendre la politique de l'actuel Président) tout en se démarquant des politiques actuelles pour démontrer qu'elle sera un leader différent... Lors d'une récente entrevue elle a un peu écorché son ancien patron.

 "A split between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama was inevitable. Now that they’ve made peace, keeping it will be the challenge. The Obama and Clinton camps tried to mend their differences Tuesday, but certain dynamics won’t be as easy to overcome in the months ahead as Clinton mulls a White House bid: Some advisers around both politicians have a hard time letting bygones be bygones. The press is determined to continue to dissect the relationship. And Obama and Clinton have genuinely different interests and instincts on some big questions facing the country.

The tiff began when, in an interview with The Atlantic, Clinton dissed the president’s foreign policy philosophy and called his early approach to Syria a “failure.”

White House aides then groused anonymously to The New York Times that Clinton was far more muted on areas of disagreement when she was actually serving in Obama’s Cabinet. And hours later, longtime Obama adviser David Axelrod escalated the situation, swiping at Clinton on Twitter for her Iraq war vote years ago.

By Tuesday afternoon, Clinton had called Obama as part of a very public attempt to kill the ugly headlines.

Obama aides and some Clinton allies downplayed the 72-hour episode with dismissive complaints about a voracious media that have been looking for fissures between the two camps since the 2008 Democratic primary, and both sides made it clear they wanted to move on.
