Republican Party of Pennsylvania Communications Director Megan Sweeney released the following statement regarding Hillary Clinton’s upcoming trip to Scranton with Vice President Joe Biden.
“Today, two liberals who’ve helped create and implement job-killing policies have announced they are dropping by to assess their disastrous handiwork first-hand,” Sweeney said. “The Obama-Clinton agenda has resulted in nothing but lost jobs, higher taxes, and skyrocketing health care premiums for families across Pennsylvania. Nevertheless, if Hillary Clinton pretending to be from Scranton, it must be election time.”

In An Interview With The Boston Globe, Clinton Gave The Obama Administration An "A" For Its Overall Performance, Adding "I Don't Think He Gets The Credit He Deserves For Saving Our Economy." CLINTON: "I'd give him an 'A.' I don't think he gets the credit he deserves for saving our economy from falling into a great depression, for saving the auto industry which represents millions of jobs up and down the supply chain, for beginning the crackdown on Wall Street abuses with Dodd-Frank, for getting the Affordable Care Act passed, for really being as responsive as he could possibly be given the obstructionism that he faced with the Republicans in Congress."
