“Thank You, Madam President”
By pm317 on October 2, 2009 at 9:01 AM in Current Affairs
Now America’s chief diplomat, Clinton was presiding over the Security Council because the U.S. holds its rotating presidency this month.
First, she called for a vote on a resolution demanding an immediate end to sexual violence by combatants in armed conflicts and announced that it had been unanimously approved. Then, she delivered a speech on behalf of the United States expressing hope that the resolution will hasten the day when thousands of women around the world fearing rape or sexual abuse during conflict can live in peace.
At the end of the speech, Clinton said: “I resume now my function as president of the council.”
“I kind of like being a president,” she added as diplomats burst into laughter.
“So this may go on a little longer than anticipated!” Clinton said, as applause filled the council chamber.
The laughter continued when she introduced Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who responded saying pointedly: “Thank you Madam President.”
That is our Hillary. State.gov has the full video of her speech.
Meanwhile, what do we make of these left-wing fools?
[Gore] Vidal now believes, as he did originally, Clinton would be the better president.
“Hillary knows more about the world and what to do with the generals. History has proven when the girls get involved, they’re good at it. Elizabeth I knew Raleigh would be a good man to give a ship to.”
How does he think Obama is doing?
“Dreadfully. I was hopeful. He was the most intelligent person we’ve had in that position for a long time. But he’s inexperienced. He has a total inability to understand military matters. He’s acting as if Afghanistan is the magic talisman: solve that and you solve terrorism.”
and he regrets his change of heart from Hillary to Obama last year.
BTW, did you hear that jackass Michael Moore begging, begging Obama to be Obama, you know, the lone virgin in the whorehouse they all thought he was?

("This crazy redhead is on to something. Her pink Rambler story alone is worth the price of the book," writes 
- “Richard Sale’s reportage on Washington, the CIA, the American armed forces, and foreign intrigue has created a perfect background for this account of the steady growth of President Clinton as a master of the game of nations.”--W. Patrick Lang, former head of Middle East Operations, DIA
"Anne C. Heller's stunning biography of Ayn Rand" uses a "plethora of newly unearthed research and fresh insight."
I am hoping the day can still come that Hillary Clinton can be our president. If I cannot have that hope, it will be a very bleak landscape for me.
Hillary Clinton is one of the hardest working, smartest, most experienced people we Americans have in our current political life, and we ought to cherish our good fortune that she is still on the scene.
Hear, hear! As Obambi continues to flail about our girl Hil gets stronger. I hope she can become what Kissinger was during the Ford term where Kissinger ran foreign policy and Ford did what he was told. As for Chicago and the Olympics, from what I read it was a weak bid esp compared to Madrid’s. But Rio and Madrid’s delegations promised to support the other if one were knocked out early. So it’ll be interesting how it turns out. Madrid’s bid is superior with venues built, low crime, good weather and corporate sponsors already lined up. But Rio has that ‘Obama-like’ narrative working for them of being the first South American host. I’m split between the 2.
AMEN and i do light candles or her every day.
gratefulness candles,H.R.C. group
She will always be my president.
And what a president she will be! No doubt in my mind, IT WILL HAAPPEN!
Oh I thought we’d had a change in the big house over night! What a wonderful world it would be if that happened.
Vidal Gore hit the perfect note with the bit about wanting Hillary but having high hopes for Obama nonetheless. Saying “total inability to understand military matters” is one of the worst insults I have ever read about anyone. Think about it. He is saying he cannot learn something that is vitally important for the nation from the most knowledgeable people in the world.
Yes, and still the obots wonder why an ex-Marine judge would want to verify that O was/is eligible to be our Commander-in-Chief.
It’s so frustrating to watch Hillary be Hillary because it is always so apparent that SHE IS THE ONE (and not “That one”).
“the most intelligent person in that position”?
Say What? Compared to President Clinton, FDR, etc, etc.? This is part of this nonsense that he is so brilliant because he reads speeches well (as long as they are nothing but generalities).
Go Hil! OT: David Letterman should now be forced to apologize for all the sexist slander he uttered against Hillary and Sarah Palin and their daughters. He is the epitomy of sleaze. Wonder how much the network paid him to crucify these women.
32 million a year
CBS had better fire his ass for using his position of power to have sex with people in his employee. He’s a pig. He has never been funny. He is just an ass.
Slowly but surely, the creeps that have our blood on their hands from their promotion of other creeps like Obama and the attempts to degradate Sarah and Hillary are getting their just desserts!
Craig Ferguson is available. He is actually funny. And, he is a good person. I remember when everyone was making fun of Britney, he came out in his monologue and said he was a recovering alcoholic, and she her life was in danger. He said his audience would not be hearing an jokes about her situation.
A REAL MAN ……….
CAROL HAKA
I think Letterman is Michael Moores skinny brother. Both lying hypocrites. WOnder if he made his producer wear a Sarah Palin wig?
It seems Letterman had a public comeuppance yesterday.
Karma, baby! Karma.
I cannot help but smile when those who hurt others get caught with their pants down!
Secretary Clinton looked better than she has for sometime. The only other time I have seen her smiling was when she danced with those people in Africa.
I think she is troubled by the leadership, and the direction we are headed.
After all we have a “green as a gourd Commander in Chief, elected by people “who don’t know their a$$ from a hole in the ground”, and that leaves Joe Biden Cheney in charge!
I just love her. What a funny, classy woman she is, and has demonstrated FAR more intelligence than POTUS without TOTUS. Just another AxelRove meme abt Obama that’ smoke and mirrors. Hillary proved she could run circles around Obama in the debates.
While I’m glad Vidal has seen the error of his ways and is expressing “buyer’s remorse,” his thimble of water is thoroughly unhelpful while Rome burns.
Love it!
Madam President, Hillary Clinton!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this pm317!!
Hillary stuck in Barry’s shadow. She hurts her political future by endorsing his policies of big govt. out of control spending and his relentless march toward socialism. It may not be her policies, but by enabling obama…she gets stuck with them….
Yes, as Secretary of State, Hillary is obligated to represent the views of the president; many of her views may coincide with Obama’s but many may NOT. Nevertheless, she is a team player and will not undercut the person she has agreed to represent. I respect that, even though I do not respect or admire Obama (she may have the same feelings I do, you know).
BUT — and here’s the main issue — if Hillary Clinton wants to remain active in politics, she MUST be part of the Obama administration, and she is smart and wise enough to know that. She cannot go into some sort of self-imposed exile and just wait for a time when she might be able to be a player again. It just does NOT work that way. She must remain on the national scene.
In meetings with Obama, she is listened to and she may very well be keeping him from doing even insaner things than he is doing. I have read in many articles that Obama does, indeed, rely on her knowledge and judgment. So, I think Hillary is doing this country a major service right where she is.
Sorry…that doesnt fly….She has a moral responsibility as Sec. of State to represent ALL Americans….not just to keep her head down and hope for the best…She would get so much more support from Independents if she resigned and became a thorn in Obama’s side for the next 3 years….as far as her service thus far.Obama has outsourced her job to other diplomats ie: iran, syria, north korea. her best move would be to resign…run for governor of New York and challenge barry in the dem primary in 2011 assuming she could beat guliani in new york…{which isnt for certain}
Yeah, she could run as an independent; that’s always worked so well in the past for third-party candidates.
why would she run as an independent? she can run for the dem nomination…..I think you need politics 101
Very few Democrats would reward Hillary with the Democratic nomination if she had spent her time sniping at a fellow Democrat, the incumbent president.
Even with the Kennedy mystique to shore up his candidacy, Teddy Kennedy could NOT successfully wrest the Democratic nomination from the weak President Carter, who went on to lose to Ronald Reagan.
And I read yesterday that Palin’s new memoir is selling far ahead of his (Kennedy’s) as well as any other new book out there.
heh heh.
since when do democrats have a problem attacking each other? And carter lost because ronald reagan was a once in a lifetime candidate. the man took 49 states. Something never to be repeated. Obama cant hold his jock strap.
Dear Mr. “politics 101″:
You are not responding to the question I put to you.
I asked: “When was the last time a candidate successfully won the presidency away from a sitting president of his own party, denying that president a second term?”
unfortunately we have already seen the respect that the DNC has for Hillary… (that is why she is where she is and oasshole is where he shouldn;t be)…
When was the last time a candidate successfully won the presidency away from a sitting president of his own party, denying that president a second term?
mark connette,
you say “she has a moral responsibility as SOS to represent all Americans” makes no sense. As SOS, her responsibility is to support the obama administration’s policies. We don’t really know what she is thinking and whether she’s “just laying low for now”, so to comment on such speculation as if it were fact is just an excuse to find fault with SOS Clinton.
Why not talk about moral responisibility when it comes to former SOS Powell. I still remember his big speech before the UN while making the Bush administration’s case against Iraq by holding up the vile of “anthrax” declaring “We have first-hand descriptions of biological weapons factories on wheels and on rails.” Do you find that morally reprehensible that he was willing to make such a definitive statement on behalf of the Bush administration, when he knew the intelligence was not conclusive about this. He later indicated that he regretted making such a speech — but, of course, his statement of was too late in having any impact on stopping the war in Iraq.
You’d think by now that men, in general, would try to curb their knee jerk response to finding any and all excuses to find fault with women, particularly, those in power and their habit of holding women to a higher standard than they hold their male counterparts.
According to the Washington Post, Joe Biden was driving the discussion on Afghanistan, and Secretary Clinton’s response was muted. She reportedly shares many of Gates’ views.
Gen. McChrystal spoke in London, and reiterated his assessment that time is short, and the situation is deteriorating.
At least he is “man” enough to respect our troops!
I am still amazed at the people who refer to Present Obama as so intelligent. Where is the proof of that? It certainly does not show in the few press conferences he has had. I’m not talking about his teleprompter, I’m talking about when he has had to answer questions off the cuff. Lets see those grades from Columbia and Harvard.
Heh, he graduated in the top 10% of his Harvard Law class.
As for the rest of you, why the glee in the USA not getting the Olympics bid? Is a “personal defeat” for Obama that important to you? So weird.
Does that mean he released his college transcripts… I didn’t think so. The thing with academia these days is they are for sale. Academia can prove any theory you pay them to prove. That is what it has come to. Book smarts can be bought for cheap right now.
You’re wrong. You can’t buy your way into the top 10% of grades in your Harvard Law class (or any other college or graduate school class).
I know you hate the fact that there is clear evidence of Obama’s intellectual strength, but your wishful thinking or lies won’t make it magically go away.
Nice try, though.
Please elaborate on some of this “”intelligence”" of his you speak of… We would LOVE to hear a few examples… Rhetorical, read speeches written by someone else, don;t count…
….blink…. blink… crickets…
we’re still waiting slime tyrant…
Examples like the one I just gave? Where he finished in the top 10% of his class from an elite Law School?
All you’ve got is lies and name-calling. It’s sad.
No one has seen that paper or his grade in a transcript… Have you?? Sorry asshat… It takes MORE than WORDS and propaganda… (I doubt you are even okd enough to go to college either…)
My source is the Encyclopedia Britannica, which states Obama “graduated magna cum laude [i.e. top 10% GPA in his class] in 1991 from Harvard University’s law school”.
You fail again, sjc.
and where did *they* get that information from? did obama send them his transcripts, but he won’t show them to the american people?
No one has seen that paper or his grade in a transcript… Have you?? Sorry asshat… It takes MORE than WORDS and propaganda… (I doubt you are even old enough to go to college either…)
The last grades anyone has seen were from High School with about a B- average.
A pathetic poem and 2 books that were obviously not penned from the same person are his legacy from school.
Maybe, his white girlfriend from those college days has a copy of his transcripts. Does anyone know where she is?

Make sure you see DrudgeReport
“The Ego Has Landed”
He graduated magna cum laude from HLS. Your wishful thinking and lies won’t change that, Carol.
My law school had no grades (neither did my undergraduate program, where I was a Chancellor’s Scholar for Excellence in Academics) and so, I graduated with a JD but without any honors. Yet, I am smart enough to have put together a well-documented case to state A’sG in selected states that members of the DNC committed election fraud in those states in order to get election officials to print BO’s name on the ballot. http://jbjd.wordpress.com
Um, congratulations? We weren’t discussing your grades, though, nor your “case.”
How about this, will you at least acknowledge the fact that Obama graduated magna cum laude from HLS?
Historically, Ivy League schools have terrible grade inflation. I don’t think magna cim laude means anything more than a 3.6 gpa.
Links, bot? If you have any to verifiable sites, I would be interested to see them.
Didn’t think so. His “stellar” grades are urban myth and nothing more.
Oh Christ, you’re a birther. Nevermind.
You are terminally obnoxious; and a very poor loser. Is it initiation night at bot central, again? At least make an attempt to be interesting.
I don’t think there is much of a relationship between intellect in a single specific field and common sense. And there certainly is no correlation between intellect and honesty.
Obama is like the Mafia Don’s son who goes to law school to help the old man get around the law.
“You’re wrong. You can’t buy your way into the top 10% of grades in your Harvard Law class (or any other college or graduate school class).”
Like hell you can’t. And where are his TRANSCRIPTS that verify his graduating position? If you know academia, then don’t argue with: no statement is “fact” until DOCUMENTED.
My source is the Encyclopedia Britannica, which makes that statement. And if you’re going to claim that Obama “bought” his way to magna cum laude, then YOU’RE the one who needs to supply proof for such an outlandish claim.
Look, I’m sorry you can’t accept the fact that Obama performed well in a competitive, high level academic setting. But it’s fact, deal with it.
Please provide the document or tangible evidence that Encyclopedia Britannica relied on to make that statement. Until I see actual credible evidence, I can only assume that E.B. simply wrote down what they were TOLD regarding Obama as though it were accepted fact.
Obama does not display or provide evidence that he has what I would call a deep intellect. I can’t remember an important policy, or an opinion piece, where Obama has been the primary author. Can you?
Everything that I have witnessed about him indicates an average intelligence, and a less than average grasp of the mechanations of a complicated world. Where is his “expertise” on anything other than delivering someone else’s speech?
HAHAHAHA
Man, you really gotta stretch to weasel out of this one, don’t you?
A well-known, reputable encyclopedia’s veracity being questioned by an internet ranter = awesome.
You fail, Onofre’s arm
It shouldn’t be difficult to find the actual source of the information that E.B. used for it’s description of Obama, should it? Did E.B. manage to get his college transcripts through the million dollar wall Obama has built between the public and all of his academic records?
Why can’t I question the veracity of E.B., they’ve had to make many adjustments and corrections to their publication as new and more accurate evidence has become available. And skeptical “internet ranters” have exposed volumes of lies and inaccuracies disseminated by previously unquestioned oracles like “The New York Times”.
And in your silly attempt at deflection, you’ve failed to provide ANYTHING that is positive proof of Obama’s vaunted intellect.
“Internet ranters” exposed the Dan Rather “Bush documents” to be fraudulent.
The huge army of internet contributors has experts in every field imaginable, people who focus an educated critical eye to every subject, people that can spot something wrong in an instant, the best and brightest of the world. Of course, the opposite end of this enlightened and intelligence spectrum is obviously an area where YOU are on more familiar ground.
LOL. Too funny.

Encyclopedia Britannica? Ok Slim, so if it is written in a Encyclopedia, do they give a citation as to where this information came from? Perhaps, they have a transcript from Harvard or Columbia or or or. Oh wait BO has spent hunfreds of thousands of dollars fighting the release of said info. Why?
I am not saying BO is un-intelligent. He was smart enough to bamboozle you.
Bamboozling Slim doesn’t take much intelligence Teak. Slack jawed, drooling, knuckle draggers like Slim are easily taken in by false promises of getting something for nothing. However, it would take a great deal of intelligence and patience to inject some reason into their impenetrably dense skulls.
The taxpayers have just been saved billions of dollars. let some other country take the hit.
Obama and his Chicago buddies (politicians and developers) were going to rake in billions with the ‘O’lympics. They WOULD get payed for the work, no matter what. But as is usually the case, the actual cost of such a project is far greater than the revenue generated, so the taxpayers are on the hook for years to make up the difference. It’s just another scam to fleece the taxpayers in order to pay back political supporters. Pay to play on display.
Why the glee? I cannot speak for the glee of others; my glee is justified by the fact that I LIVE IN CHICAGO AND AM SICK OF HEARING ABOUT THE [expletive deleted] OLYMPICS.
haha
Yea, I bet the news coverage has been absurd for months now.
Do you know how many intelligent patients I have with Ph. D’s and are in mental hospitals. I don’t care what your class rank is the real world and a classrooms are two different places. THis is a fact Obama and all his fans are learning.
Slim Tyranny pray Obama is as smart as you think he is you are no less immune to runaway inflation, unemployment, and high energy cost than the rest of us. And no one will deserve it more. Who you vote fore is your business. But when you do something stupid don’t get belligerent and rude about it.
I know off topic here… but Chicago fail. Chicago eliminated first for Olympics… Tokyo eliminated next.
From Chicago:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-091002chicago-olympics-2016-eliminated,0,3121819.story
Time to parrrrrtttyyyy!!! Hah! I bet Meshitelle is having an absolute COW!!!!!!
The Obama’s will just blame it on Beck. He’s it right now. Honestly though, it probably has as much to do with Chicago’s reputation… that and Obama has been telling the world for a couple of years now that we aren’t so much anymore.
And after all her “sacrifice” in traveling to Copenhagen to help win the Olympics for Chicago!
(snark)
Can we taxpayers be reimbursed for the $millions it cost to fly Michelle over there?
I hope in the future she will stay home and spare us her “sacrifices.”
I’m with you on that one lightacandle.
Thanks for the clip, pm. I saw it the other day and really enjoyed it. This is Hillary at her best, relaxed, funny and in her element.
Vidal’s words have certainly been making the rounds. Pretty damning. And honest. Yeah, too bad many people didn’t rethink that primary vote.
OT: But Chicago was dumped on a first round vote. The Olympics will not save Mayor Daley! Or Obama.
I read that Gore article and was furious and he STILL is a stupid fool, and can’t/won’t see the truth about Obama ”
His voice strengthens. “One thing I have hated all my life are LIARS [he says that with bristling anger] and I live in a nation of them. It was not always the case. I don’t demand honour, that can be lies too. I don’t say there was a golden age, but there was an age of general intelligence. We had a watchdog, the media.” The media is too supine? “Would that it was. They’re busy preparing us for an Iranian war.” He retains some optimism about Obama “because he doesn’t lie.”
Just WOW.
Also as a life long Dem turned PUMA even I thought was he said about Republicans was awful.
The “fool” backs the “tool”. How appropriate. Speaking of the “fool”, we are setting record low temperatures already and it’s not winter yet.
THERE”S A GOD INDEED!!! I WAS WISHING THAT IOC DOES NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT GIVE CHICAGO THE OLYMPICS. YES!!!
THE OBAMAS PLUS OPRAH WOULD HAVE BROUGHT JESUS WITH THEM TO BEG FOR THE OLYMPICS, THEY WOULDN’T GET IT. THAT WAS A GOOD DECISION BY IOC>
YESSSSSS! What great news!! Now I’m glad Obama flew over to seal the deal, because it is on him.
On his head let it rest!
Heh, small victories for you, I guess.
I just feel for the kids of Chicago. They just apparently lost their last hope. Now they may never have a bicycle of their own and will probably just spend the rest of their lives out of shape and miserable. Maybe if Michelle had just sacrificed a little bit more.
Yeap, because definitely the best way to look at the Olympics bid process is solely through the lens of your Obama dislike.
48 million tax payerdollars was spent in this bid. You think that money would have been better spent avoiding the funerals of children in Chicago.
Wow! What a blow to the narcissist! I bet he is in his room right now having a tantrum and he and those idiots around him are making a list of all those racist Europeans!!!
BTW I loved the clip of Hillary, it just makes me all the more angry at the DNC “leaders” and what they did to our country with their stealing the Nomination for Obama.
Damn Racists.
Does this mean the IOC doesn’t believe that Obama is the messiah?
he never walked on that water in Denmark he just spoke from a teleprompter!
Maybe they didn’t get the epiphany memo…..
LOL!!
Somebody said NO to Barry and Oprah!!!! Hope they enjoy that long trip back. Of course, he’ll be “working” on board Air Force One. Right.
He spent more time with in Copenhagen pushing for Chicago, than with Gen. McChrystal.
haa haa, I saw the headlines on Drudge:
Obama + Michelle +Oprah = ZERO.
The ego has landed indeed.
Hahaha. “The ego has landed.” Good one, barry.
I know, that one might just sum up the whole presidency. Darn creative.
They forgot to add Jarrett to the equation. Thank you IOC. The US has problems, Chicago has way too many problems and the Olympics were going to be glitter and not a solution. Stay home and get to work Obama and Company. And Oprah, if you love Chicago so much get going on fixing its schools with all you dinero.
There are days I just feel like weeping when I see what an unsavory mess Obama is making of just about everything he touches as president, and knowing we HAD an opportunity to have the best-qualified person as president, Hillary.
I am painfully aware of all the issues on which she would have taken the lead and ACCOMPLISHED what she set out to do.
Obama just jaws and jaws and jaws and jaws. Left … right … left … right … left … right … left … right … left … right … left … right … goes his head as he READS prepared remarks from the teleprompter, since he is almost incoherent when he tries to speak extemporaneously on any critical and complicated issue.
Yes, like he’s watching a tennis match. Robama… just as much heartless as the original tinman.
and getting rusty on a daily basis. The shine has rubbed off pretty quickly as we can all see.
Can Hillary win the any nomination in the Party without the black vote? Is it even possible?
Can someone please post his speech where he states that the 2016 Olympics would be held in Chicago. Maybe this will stop his arrogance and realize that things don’t always go his way.
I can’t believe (well I Can) he only met for 25 minutes with Gen. McChrystal in Copenhagen. I can see where his priorities are, he spent more time pushing for Chicago than with his top Afghanistan commander.
Then we find out ACORN received 1 million dollars from FEMA to fight fires. CROOKS and CORRUPTION is what this administration is about.
Maybe this will stop his arrogance
Not in a million light years would that happen.
ACORN has Firefighting experience? Hosing the vote?
So ACORN is hiring chipmunks now?
Thankgoodness the world does not want to follow the Chicago Way!
mmm mmm mmm Obama.
TGIF = Thank God IOC Friday!
It’s not noon yet, but I’m drinking one to the IOC… Hah! And to ‘Madam President’ ! It’s a good day in the REAL world!
Let the games begin!

That is the funniest thing I read all week!
How true. He seems pathetic. Like a deer in the headlights MM looks like he’s just found out he’s been had. His tepid disappointment is only the beginning. We were just rejected for the bid for the Olympics. First to be rejected. The presentation was a clunker, and the IOC had no taste for Chicago politics, corruption and crime.
Another naive conceit of a president who is full of hubris, totaly lacking experience, and out of touch with the reality of the world stage as well as his own Americans.
He’s embarrassing. Imagine shlepping Oprah to this scene? Obama was clueless as to the politics of the IOC. We never stood a chance. Chicago?

OK, it’s nice that Gore Vidal has acknowledged that Hillary would have been better than O. But she’s a woman, not a girl and these are serious, real-life issues, not a Bad News Bears movie where the Little League team sucks until the coach brings in Tatum O’Neal.
