"I had a historian tell me the other day that it's probably not been since Harry Truman that we had a president who inherits two wars, an economy in trouble, millions of people losing their health care, millions of families on the brink of losing their homes," she said.

Truman, of course, inherited his troubles from one of the Democrat Party's most beloved and honored presidents of all time: Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt.

The article is, however, primarily about the fact that Hillary recently had to fire her campaign manager and loan her campaign $5M in order to stay competitive with Barak Obama.
