Not so fast! Clinton Now Re-Opens Door to Supporting Obama Trade Deal [View all]

Here she goes again! Squandering all that good will from the debates already...

"I'm against it now," Clinton said, reiterating her new position. "But we'll see whether there is any kind of significant changes."

Clinton continued, "I mean look, if the Congress adopted my entire work and wage agenda, I'd be pretty excited about that. But that'll have to wait until I'm actually there as president."
