Hillary Rodham Clinton - This is How I feel about her

[Taverner]

"Voice of Reason"

That is HRC in a nutshell. She is that voice that says the truth, not consistently (god - no politician says the truth consistently. Go look up "Politician" in a dictonary!) but enough to matter

Get her talking long enough, and reason will eminate from her mouth.

This is a rare quality in politicians.

That is why I am glad she is Sec of State.

I was for Obama in the primary. Yeah, he had it to be president. Being president isn't always about details - often its about the big picture.

Secretary of State, however, is about the small things

And HRC has that, how can I saym "ATTENTION TO DETAIL."

It is that which I do not have, and wish I did

1. k&r

my thoughts about her exactly.

[Little Star]

2. Yep

[racaulk]

3. K&R

I couldn't have said it better than that! :thumbsup:

[Winterblues]

4. The very best decision Obama has made as President.

:thumbsup:

[Taverner]

5. Yes, agreed

[Richard Steele]

22. I agree completely with that statement.

Best damn decision he's made as POTUS. (So far, anyway)

[Taverner]

6. Let me add to this that this is why I feel she will make the best decision in regards to North Korea

!

[UTUSN]

7. K&R #18. Allow me to sum up:

[Duende azul]

8. People in Honduras and elsewhere may not share your feelings.

Voice of reason? Where especially does that reason show? If it´s about keeping the empire afloat by any means necessary - maybe you have a point.
This may include coups and extralegal murders.
If ousting elected presidents abroad is fine - maybe she does fine.

She only does what the previous admin did, of course with better manners . Ethically the difference is barely detectable.

Next to Rahm one of the worst appointments. But since Obama seems to agree or at least not to care - he is as responsible as her.

[blm]

10. and...Syria.

11. Ah, yes, Honduras, where the timber harvester wore his cowboy crown

20. or Columbia nt

[lunamagica]

9. K&R. Hillary is doing a great job n/t

[Bucky]

12. Imagine Joe Biden with impulse control

I hope Obama talks her out of leaving after her first term, which she's hinted at doing.

[Skip Intro]

13. K&R for Hillary. (and she would have made a great president too) nt

[scarletwoman]

14. Barf. She's a loyal handmaiden of the Empire.

She will happily "reason" us into a war with Iran, if that's what the Masters want her to do.

Yeah. Go team. Whoop. :puke:

[Taverner]

15. Actually, I think she is the one preventing a war with Iran nt

[grantcart]

16. and equally important undermine Israel's addiction to that old canard

[phasma ex machina]

18. Preoccupation with Pakistan may be the only thing keeping the empire out of Iran.

At least for the time being.

"preoccupation"

Get it?

:rofl:

:cry:

[PassingFair]

28. "Tough talking Clinton vows to "obliterate" Iran"...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/toughtalking-clinton-vows-to-obliterate-iran-if-it-ever-dares-to-attack-us-ally-israel-814090.html


Yeah, and her vote for the IWR was just pragmatism!

:rofl:

[Captain Hilts]

30. That has been US Govt. policy for decades. it hasn't changed with Obama. nt

[PassingFair]

33. It is policy to say we will "obliterate" countries?

I did not know that!

[Captain Hilts]

34. Yes. We tell North Korea the same. nt

[PassingFair]

36. Then you must have loved this guy's "foreign policy"!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U39zae4IxUA

[Captain Hilts]

37. I'm just telling you what the US policy is on this issue. I've not expressed an opinion.

You're knee-jerking to conclusions.

And none of that has changed with Obama in the White House.

[PassingFair]

41. Talking about obliterating countries is NOT policy.

Being a "friend" of Israel is.

She's a hawk.

[Captain Hilts]

44. Yes, it is policy. Obama's as much a hawk as she is. nt

[PassingFair]

45. Blue is green, black is white!

Whatever.

[Beacool]

17. And she would be even better as president.

She's a policy wonk and does her homework. She literally sleeps with her briefing book (when Bill is not around). She's a caring person (that's why some of her staffers have been with her since her days as First Lady). Employees at State praise her management style. It's a pity that she will probably leave when Obama's first term is up.

21. She's a politician

What can I say?

That's their job...

[phasma ex machina]

23. Re: "as far as I know" -> The secret of being a politician is a twisted mind. nt

[smalll]

29. Yeah, and Obama did the gangta-rap "brush-off" to Hillary --

there were no clean hands in that contest.

At least Hillary didn't rack up her delegates by gaming the system through bussing in flash mobs of iPod kids to Mickey-Mouse caucuses in empty states.

Sayin'.

[Beacool]

39. Hear, hear!!!!!

:applause:

[Captain Hilts]

31. It was her response to the FOURTH reiteration of the question. nt

[Beacool]

38. Do you really want to start a primary fight?

Do you really want us to bring up some of Obama's quotes?

Better let it rest........


:eyes:

[troubledamerican]

42. Counterbalancing her hagiography is in her own interests and yours

Don't worry, Hillary will be President in 2012. There will be no Obama. President Biden will defer to Hillary.

No candidate will receive the minimum number of electoral votes (270) and the election will be thrown into the House of Representatives, in a redux of the Election of 1824.

The House of Representatives will choose Hillary, who will immediately be labeled "illegitimate" even by the media.

She will be the last elected president.

[applegrove]

24. She's been great!

[YOY]

25. Meh...still DLC.

DLC = Effective conservatives.

Given the choice between effective conservatives and loony toon bible beaters...I'll take effective conservatives...but I'd rather have a real left-of-center choice with the same effectiveness. Tough to get that these days.

[Captain Hilts]

32. Same for Obama. nt

[YOY]

40. 100% with you.

As nearly always.

[Tailormyst]

26. I used to really like her

and alot of other politicians. I'm pretty disillusioned with the lot of them and feel completely punked. I would like to have someone to support who cares about the same things I do AND has the courage to act upon it.

[smalll]

27. Hillary IS 45 ---

Biden will step down, Hillary will be the VP in 2012 -- she will be well-placed in 2016.

Madame Inevitable shall ride again! :evilgrin:

[salguine]

35. I see your "voice that says the truth" and raise you one "landing

under sniper fire". That one was so far beyond ridiculous that it was pretty much the stake through the heart of her credibility for me. Sure, all politicians stretch the truth, as you say, but that one was not just false... it was a whopper so utterly, demonstrably false that I would lave laughed aloud at its ridiculousness if I weren't too busy being bitter that she thought me that fucking stupid.

[joeybee12]

43. I agree...she is detail-oriented so much I hear it drives people

crazy...she keeps asking and asking and asking questions to learn as much as she can...compare that to her nitwit predecessor.
