Hillary was the secretary of empowerment or something

Hillary has transformed our understanding — no, our definition — of foreign affairs. Diplomacy is no longer just the skill of managing relations with other countries. The big issues — war and peace, terror, economic stability, etc. — remain, and she has handled them with firmness and authority, with poise and confidence, and with good will, when appropriate.

But it is not the praise of diplomats or dictators that will be her legacy. She dealt with plenipotentiaries, but her focus was on people. Foreign affairs isn’t just about treaties, she taught us, it’s about the suffering and aspirations of those affected by the treaties, made or unmade.

Most of all, diplomacy should refocus attention on the powerless.

Hillary and Obama have blood and tyranny on their hands, lots of them.

Name one people who are free or freer due to Obama/Hillary, I triple dare you.

Pls. don’t name Burma, for which they take unjust credit, having nothing to do with it, and the union thugs and Black Panthers, of which I know already.

Note – I sais “people” not “person”.

Now we have heard from the imbecile constituency.

More proof that democrats think lying is perfectly acceptable.

Gag Alert from the article:

By the way, is there any other leader in the last 50 years whom we routinely refer to by a first name, and do so more out of respect than familiarity? The last person I can think of was Ike — the elder family member who we revere with affection. Hillary is Hillary.

Now I’m going to read the CNN Consumer “Comments” to gag some more!

Most of all, diplomacy should refocus attention on the powerless.

No. That’s just liberal pap. Everyone deserves equal attention. Or lack of attention. A legal, social, economic system that’s right, just, and fair. Stop destroying families by substituting government assistance for fathers. Assistance that enables single mothers on welfare to raise kids with no respect who shoot each other. Stop taxing and regulating the producers. Stop substituting your liberal vision for the vision of individuals.

First observation from a CNN commenter…

Way to leave your lip prints all over Hillary’s backside, Donna!

Needless to say, that did not sit well with the Hillary Groupies:

How about asking Dick Cheney and GWB why 6,000 Americans died over their lies. Hilary did not plan for the deaths of these four persons. The Cheney gang planned the killing of thousands and got away with billions in tax payer paid profits.
No crying there, aligator???

To which another CNN drone mindlessly replies:

The first one (DC) was evil and the second was dumb (GWB). It is the perfect representation of the republican voter: the unhealthy alliance between evil businessman and people with a low IQ. Put those two together and you have a match made in hell.

Yet the Dear Leader this vacant skull voted for refuses to tell us his own IQ.

Stop hating! Clinton did a brilliant job and this article simply highlights the impact and approach in very brief detail. Also by executing with excellence her bosses policies and strategies, while adding her own skill and prowess, to expand American influence after the disastrous results of Dubya’s impact on the presidency, our standing was restored around the world.

Al-Queada has been beheaded and kept marginal, at best.

Hliburton must be worried, Now they cannot sell body bags to the US military for $800 a piece, made in Malysia, for about $6.00, by underaged children, brought through a front copany in Singapore and channeled through the Dubai based Haliburton that does not pay taxes to the US, becuase it is a Dubai – Dubai based, foreing company, with investments from rich Arabs. Dick Cheney the former President of Haliburton, really made out like a bandit while our soldier were being put in body bags.

Yep, the Stupid is strong with the Democrats who run and watch CNN…

Blegh.

What difference does this article make?

darwin on February 2, 2013 at 3:31 PM

She’s done a good job of empowering Islamists.
