Excuse me 2012, BS. Over the last fifteen years or more the Clintons have turned over more records and made more personal information public than anyone in the history of the world. They have done so at the request of Republicans and Democrats and they continue to serve our country.

In the SOS process Hillary and Bill had to jump through a whole lot of hoops to ensure Hillary the position. Bill and Hillary had to turn over records and make promises that no other person that Obama picked had to make. If that is not kissing the BHO bottom then it sure came close.

After 8 years hating bush, cheney, hannity, rush, etc…..I now find myself taking a second look and now I support anybody that has the gonads to speak up against that fraud, obutt-hole. In addition, I will never be a democrat again. How can any democrat support the whole rotten obama administration and anyone that does is a phony. admit it.

oh, please — I’m not buying what you’re selling here. Hillary is doing a great job. I think she has gained even more respect because of the great job she’s doing. Look what she is doing – even in the above post — she could not fight for gay rights for diplomats or internationally from the Senate and have the same effect. That creates pressure here too — don’t you see that? Smart girl, our Hill.

I think it is an inherent weakness of his — he hates to be criticized and on some level, I think, feels insecure within himself not to rebut those criticisms. Unfortunately, all he does by this action is to elevate to greater importance the very person he is attempting to diminish by answering back.

No, of course the Dems will not turn on Obama — they’re riding this out all the way to 2016. Hillary would never run against the incumbent. H would have to resign “for health reasons or to spend time with his family, blah blah blah” and literally annoint her for this to happen in 2012. I ain’t holding my breath.

But neither is Hillary kissing anyone’s ass. She actually gives a damn about this country and can be more effective serving within this Administration than being an outcast. There is a bigger picture here. How can anyone claim to have been a supporter of hers yet trash her using the same “She’s ambitious and power hungry, inauthentic” crap talking points the drive by media and his campaign used to smack talk her. Sorry. I’m not buying.

I am grateful we have an adult minding the store. Would you reather have Kerry or Richardson as SoS — or Biden????? Heaven forfend the gaffemeister would be in that position. Can’t you be happy she’s doing her best to serve the American people, even in less than ideal circumstances.

She always promised she would fight for the nominee no matter who that was. She kept her word. More than I can say for many in her own party. Or either party for that matter.

Hillary is more concerned with her image with the Democrats. Hillary practically sold Bill’s and her souls to be come SOS.
Do you guys really think that the Democrats will turn on Obama in 2012. Look at history guys, there have been very few times that a political party has turned on the standing president in favor of another candidate, no matter what their record was.

The only people conned by this juvenile idiot are ‘American’… I think the more objective ‘foreigners’ don;t buy into enabling his ego…

Kissing his ass is not the same thing as keeping her word.

And all without rhetorical empty speech and a teleprompter!

Really well-done post. I hadn’t caught the Cheney marriage statement earlier. My goodness. Thanks Ani.

Yeah, too bad he didn’t say that during the Bush administration. Funny how now that he is retired, he comes out for gay marriage when he refused to comment on it while he was in office.

He is a narcissist. He thinks that all he has to do is show up and smile and everyone will fall into his line of thinking. (Hey, it worked during the campaign!) It never occurs to him that perhaps after the smile is gone that people will start to think about what he said, or didn’t say. He actually believes that all that is necessary to bring peace and love between the various religions is his presence. That is what makes narcissists so dangerous, they believe the crap they spew is reality. And some of them manage to convince others that it is as well. That’s how Obummer got elected, remember? So why wouldn’t he continue with a successful game plan?
