Highlights: Hillary Clinton’s Facebook Town Hall

Hillary Clinton visited Facebook headquarters today and participated in a
virtual town hall with Facebook users.  She took questions from across the
country ranging from domestic priorities to foreign policy to personal
questions about being an expectant grandmother.  Here are some highlights:

Q: If you became president of the United States, what would be your first
action item on the agenda?

A: Answering hypothetically... the next President should work to grow the
economy, increase upward mobility, and decrease inequality. –Hillary

Q: What do you feel about Gaza? Then what will you do?

A: I hope there can be a ceasefire soon to end the conflict. I negotiated
the last ceasefire in November of 2012 which I write about in my book and
am fully supportive of Secretary Kerry's efforts to work with the Egyptians
to forge a new ceasefire. –Hillary

Q : Secretary Clinton: What is your response to President Obama sayin
earlier today that Putin has "direct responsibility" for the downing of
MH17, and what can we do to bring justice to the families? How can we
realistically hold Putin accountable with anything other than sanctions?

A: I agree with the President's comment today and we should do more to
ensure a thorough investigation that not only respects those who were
murdered in the attack on the plane, but also tries to find answers to who
is responsible. In addition, we should work to bring our European allies
together with us on tougher sanctions that would make it clear to Putin
that there is a price to pay for this kind of behavior and we should
encourage Europeans to start immediately to make sure they are less
dependent on Russian energy so they are not intimidated. Finally, I would
like to see more support given to the Ukrainians to guard their borders and
to protect themselves. –Hillary

Q: Are you excited to be a grandmother?

A: I am so excited I cannot wait! –Hillary

Q: I am a school teacher and I love your book...I have not finished yet but
so far so good....Will you do us the honor of running for President? Rose
Marie

A: Thank you very much for teaching and thanks for the kind words about my
book. –Hillary
