New York Times: “Senior White House aides, in their calmer moments, say they understand Mrs. Clinton’s need to occasionally disagree with the president. They noted that Mr. Obama and his onetime secretary of state remain closely aligned on many issues. Even on the trade pact, Mrs. Clinton did not say she flatly opposes the trade deal, leaving herself room to endorse it later.”
“But as she pursues the Democratic presidential nomination, Mrs. Clinton is confronting a stark reality: Building support for her candidacy must sometimes come at the expense of Mr. Obama, and sometimes even at the expense of the policies they had both pursued in the White House.”
