As to the point about marching bands, it’s a good one, and I’m sure she understands that quality is as important as quantity. My first experience of the US Foreign Service was at the Embassy in Tehran in 1975. I’d been travelling around the country for a few weeks and it was pretty obvious to me as a green college kid that the Shah had lost the hearts and minds of the people. When I visited the compound as a guest of a family friend I was assured by half a dozen people who worked closely with Richard Helms (ex-DCI and then the ambassador) that everything was fine. One even said that the Pahlavis would last a thousand years. Of course, some of them were the same people who bragged that the only time they ever left the 28-acre compound was to go to the airport. There was a fully stocked American supermarket within the walls…

She was magnificent, and I’m not at all surprised. She will be a strong, wise, and successful SOS, and I will enjoy watching her help to repair our damaged relationships around the globe.

I’m having a difficult time seeing Obama as president but at least it looks like Hillary will be playing the most important role in his administration. BTW, whatever happened to Biden? He already seems to have faded into the woodwork.

I want to see Hillary and the Big Dawg anyway! Bill will somehow manage to get into the frame as Barry is sworn in. Bubba did it 8 years ago when Dubya was sworn in. Since that day I have referred to him as President Zelig!

Clinton demostrated what a real leader should be like-not the drammtics of a Drama Queen.

Well, we definitely know who WILL be answering that 3am phone call. Thank god!

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

This is not the first time you have seen Hillary Clinton seemingly at her wits end, but she has always risen, always risen, much to the dismay of her adversaries and the delight of her friends.

Hillary Clinton will not give up on you and all she asks of you is that you do not give up on her.

There is a world of difference between being a woman and being an old female. If you’re born a girl, grow up, and live long enough, you can become an old female. But, to become a woman is a serious matter. A woman takes responsibility for the time she takes up and the space she occupies.

Hillary Clinton is a woman. She has been there and done that and has still risen. She is in this race for the long haul. She intends to make a difference in our country.

She is the prayer of every woman and man who long for fair play, healthy families, good schools, and a balanced economy.

She declares she wants to see more smiles in the families, more courtesies between men and women, more honesty in the marketplace. Hillary Clinton intends to help our country to what it can become.

She means to rise.

She means to help our country rise. Don’t give up on her, ever.

In fact, if you help her to rise, you will rise with her and help her make this country a wonderful, wonderful place where every man and every woman can live freely without sanctimonious piety, without crippling fear.

Rise Hillary.

Rise.

-lol, time to go to bed.

She is obviously hard at work, and although she isn’t perfect, I truly trust her. Hillary gets the seemingly thankless job of guiding this country in the right direction, while the media gives Obama the kid glove treatment. She made history as well and I will never forget how far she’s come.

Did anyone see the long list of questions that the NYT had for her??? Simply amazing. It was like some sort of final exam for politics. There is no way that Obama would have been asked to answer any of those questions.

And as Maya Angelou said:

“Rise Hillary, Rise!”

This is such a sham to have Obama in office. The royal scam of all royal scams.
It’s absolutely an embarrassment to the US and democracy.

Sad, really.

Shadow President ?

I think she’s in charge, and it seemed like the entire foreign relations committee is depending on her !
