Hillary Clinton On The Tavis Smiley Show

Hillary Clinton will be on the Tavis Smiley Show on PBS Wednesday, Jan. 27th, at 8pm (EST) prior to the State Of The Union. Here are some previews for the upcoming show (H/t to the Secretary Clinton Blog for the videos):



In this one, she walks about her reliance on her husband’s experience:

This one might be a bit hard to take. I just try to remember she has to say crap like this about the boss:

I know which one I’ll be able to watch, and which one will require reading a transcript. Ahem. I’m sure you can guess which is which.

Again, Weds. night, PBS, 8:00pm (EST), Tavis Smiley Show. Set your DVRs, your TIVOs, or just sit down and watch – it should be an interesting show with our Secretary of State!

    Mr. Smiley likely will make sure Secretary Clinton’s appearance reflects both of them in the best possible light.  Recall that she, unlike BO, appeared at his State of the Black Union in 2008.  http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=tavis+smiley+state+of+the+black+union+hillary+clinton&d=5023011557802132&mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&w=d43992ae,a6b79db4 
    (I wonder whether this scheduled appearance by Madam Secretary in prime time, immediately preceeding the SOTU, is Mr. Smiley’s payback to BO, for presuming his – BO’s – offer to send MO, instead, should not have been rebuffed.)

    Look at her body language on the second video. Normally, or at least often, when she speaks, she nods her head up and down, a sign of yes or agreement. In that video I noticed she kept shaking her head back and forth a sign often attributed to meaning no. The body never lies.

    Ooh, it’s a tough one, R3 Amy.  Hillary on Bill–you betcha.  Hillary on Vietnam not attacking us and Afghanistan attacking us as a huge difference–you betcha.  bho the fraud being deliberative, conscientious, decisive on sending 30K troops to Afghanista–baloney.  His puppetmasters made that decision.  Hillary I believe would have made the same decision as President (unlike the narcissistic puppet-in-chief).  She would have explained her decision in a way Americans could understand without condescending to them, told them of the consequences, and, IMO, made the decision a lot quicker. 

    Hillary, knowingly or not, was speaking of herself when she said leaders must make tough decisions that those who elected HER/him would not like or would be politically hazardous.  Hillary speaks from principles, values, character, experience and patriotism.  bho the fraud speaks from whoever is pulling his strings at the time.

    I hope to watch Hillary on PBS tonight.   Please NQ team, record this.  I shall watch and listen and mute any bho the fraud talking/lying if included.

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    Wow, excellent memory, jbjd!  That’s right – she DID appear there!

    Well, no one is more surprised than me that she is scheduled then.  I think we have all seen many instances when Obama would intentionally overshadow her, even if her event had been planned for some time.

    Oh, karma – it’s something, isn’t it?

  • Peggy Sue

    That’s right, jbjd.  I’d forgotten that dustup.  But I do remember that Tavis Smiley received all kinds of grief for being critical of Obama.  He received threats to his person and the safety of his family and eventually pulled off the radio. 

    A little bit of payback time!  :-D

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    I am pretty sure that the Tavis Smiley shows are available at PBS.org.  You just have to look up the program there (though we were certainly talking abt how great it would be to put it up.  If someone puts it up at YouTube, we’ll grab it!).

    Yes, indeed, Hillary knows exactly what it means to make a tough decision.  I don’t doubt at all that she was speaking of herself.  I know she has to play the game, and not tear him down or anything, but honestly – she knows she would NEVER have taken that long to make that decision abt Afghanistan.

    Should be an interesting show.

    TX Playright, have you seen my latest post, REMEMBER the ALAMO?  You can download a request for documents and send this to Boyd Richie, Chair of the D state party, asking on what basis he determined BO is a NBC, per his – BR’s – Certification of Nomination submitted to TX election officials to get BO’s name printed on the ballot.  http://jbjd.wordpress.com/2010/01/26/remember-the-alamo/

  • timmy

    Great idea.  the next 3 years are going to be the worst wasted years in American history. And here I thought no one could prove to be more incompetent than Bush.  Hard to believe…..  I just like it how liberals are bleeding internally …..wound infected by the Messiah.  Karma is a bitch…

  • stodghie

    frankly i am waiting to see if hillary will resign or go down with the sinking ship. i like and admire hillary, but hill girl enough is enough of this. you need to start running toward something and away from obummer.

  • stodghie

    does anyone not see how very tired and strained she is? i sure do.

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    Yes, she does seem tireder.  I know she is running around all over the world, but still – she looks like the energy is being sapped from her, and we know just who that sap is!  :)   Ahem…

  • Sassy

    I agree Amy!
    I also watched the Black State of the Union.
    It took real courage on her part after the treatment she, Bill and even Chelsea endured during the primary.
    Travis was very cordial, but the audience sat on their hands.

     Hillary Clinton will be in London for State of the Union

    Madam Secretary sends her regrets.
    Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton got a pass last week from President Obama to skip Wednesday night’s State of the Union speech. (We had heard she begged to be excused, but apparently it didn’t come to that.)
    Seems there’s an important international meeting Wednesday in London on battling radicalization in Yemen, and then another, long-planned conference there Thursday on development and security in Afghanistan.
    Once the Wednesday meeting was “locked in,” we were told, the State Department and National Security Council staffs agreed that Clinton had to be in London. These are both big administration priorities. Key allies will be gathering there to discuss Yemen, an uber-concern of late, especially since the Christmas Day airplane bombing attempt.

    Interesting I feel a post coming up Amy? lol

    The White House blog said Tuesday morning that it was “excited to announce” that the president will be using the Web “to offer the public a direct and participatory way to communicate back to him” during Wednesday’s speech. Presumably this would be something a little more substantive than that “You lie!” outburst last year by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.).
    The blog announced that after the speech begins, “anyone will be able to submit a follow-up question and vote on others at YouTube.com/CitizenTube. Then next week, the president will answer questions in a special online event, live from the White House.” This is the latest in a White House effort to use new media to get their message out.

    Just another scheme to collect e-mail addresses.

    I don’t see what she is doing as going down with the ship.  We need some adults in the room — at least if she is putting her smarts to work on foreign policy, as he increasingly has his hands full with domestic issues, she can take the helm there more and more.  We need someone to help hold us together.  I appreciate what she is doing.  That is why her popularity is at least 20 pts above his right now.

  • Peggy Sue

    The man needs another “special on-line” event or TV photo-op like a hole in the head.  He needs to get his mug off the air and at least pretend he’s doing the people’s business. 

    Talk about over-exposure!

  • Mary cusack

    The longer she stays in the cabinent the more I consider her a partner in his crimes and I lose respect for her each day.  

  • beachnan

    I know that Hillary will shine.  I was watching Charlie Rose the other day, and he had on the authors of Game Change. The authors did not seem as hopey about Obama as they were in the book.   When they brought up the election and Hillary, they did say that Bill had gotten a bad rap for his “fairy tale” comment.  They also stated that she had thought about running in 2004 and that many in her inner circle thought she should.  Chelsea thought that she should finish her term in the Senate as promised, and that not finishing would be a negative.  Even though Bill Clinton and BO(now) have done it, she would have been judged unfairly.  Those two admitting that she would have been judged differently than the boys, was a step forward.  A baby step, but still…  It seems the authors are changing their tune a little, since their guy is imploding.  Fun to watch. :-D

  • creeper

    ATTEN ADMIN!!  Cleanup on Aisle 12.

  • stodghie

    well ani, i want an adult in the room also, but just take a look at the fact he is now throwing pelosi and reid under the bus. he’ll blame her for anything that happens also. she needs to start running now for the job in 2012. she needs her own message and not spouting his. i don’t want her tainted and berated anymore by the worshipful bots. make no mistake we and the middle class are gone but the bots who don’t think will listen to that bull.

  • creeper

    Thinly veiled attempt to make Americans believe he actually listens to them. 

  • felizarte

    Obama’s “pivot” to jobs will not result in anything significant unless he “appropriates” ideas Hillary enunciated during the primaries such as:  (1) remove incentives for companies’ outsourcing of jobs; provide incentives to companies so keep the jobs in the U.S. which would at the same time provide incentives to keep manufacturing operations in the U.S.  The so-called “green jobs” are not going to materialize unless honest policies are put into place that are not merely to benefit those crony companies waiting to make killings on the ‘cap n trade’ bill.  Hillary had all the good ideas and she would have been able to shepherd those ideas through the process.  And I don’t think she will have the likes of Axelrod, Emmanuel, Jarrett or Van Jones in her adm.

  • Texas Playwright

    Thanks, jbjd.  I was at the Collin County, TX Dem Primary Convention 2008–the county just north of Dallas County–where the original 2:1 delagate “win” for Barry was challenged and overturned for Hillary 2:1.  Texas is a primary/caucus state–absolutely ridiculous–and my precinct went for Hillary 58-35 thereabouts.  With the crooked caucus system, crooked delegate apportionment by Donna Brazen and cabal as early as 2004, Hillary’s win here barely made a dent in delgates.  She won the primary by 4% and lost the caucuses by 12%–a 16% difference.  I’m still mad just writing about it.

    As George Soros and crooked cabal keep trying to buy the state secretaries of state to steal even more elections, I think We the People should work to expose and replace these criminals with honest people.

    I appreciate Hillary even more now.  We citizens must follow her example and work smart, work hard day in and day out to take back our democracy.

  • felizarte

    I look upon Hillary and what she is doing–the things she has to endure, as some kind of “remnant” for our times.  In due time, she will shoot up, bloom and lead the reconstruction of a stronger, greater USA–a God blessed America. I keep this faith.

  • Texas Playwright

    Absolutely she’s tired.  She’s doing her job, which is very demanding, and cleaning up after bho the fraud on a daily basis, which is overwhelming.  Add the slimeball Lame Stream Media and the Clinton Haters and the misogynists, especially the patriarchal women who don’t stand up for her and all women and all that takes a tremendous toll.

    Hillary has taken more abuse and had to put up with more sabotage from every corner of American politics, media and citizenry than anyone I know in my lifetime.  She is a true pioneer, and I for one would be happy for her to retire when her current gig is over and write books while serving as our generatlion’s Susan B. Anthony/Eleanor
    Roosevelt Stateswoman Emeritus. 

    Hillary is basically our President now.  This was the right time for her to be our ”legal” President, pardon the irony.  She knows it, and so do we.  Unless she’s drafted by whatever is left of the FDR/HRC Democratic coalition, I doubt she’ll run again. 

  • Peggy Sue

    There sure is a lot of revisionist history and backtracking on the 2008 primary, no?  The press and columnists are tripping over themselves with confessions of “surprise” that Obama is not Obama and yes, maybe those anti-Clinton attacks or the whole Clinton Derangement Syndrome was just a tad over the top.

    As for Hillary Clinton?  She’s doing what she’s always done–working her ass off and not showboating.  Is she perfect?  No.  Do I agree with her all the time?  No.  But I respect the hell out of her that she’s doing the job she agreed to take on and doing it very, very well.

    Her approval numbers are stellar.  And that’s no accident.

  • Mary cusack

    more reason to quit now while she’s ahead.  right now she could get away with trying to make the best of a bad situatioln.  trying to help out bo and give advice but now that its gettting obvious what a rat he is she’s gonna come away with fleas

  • CarlaforHillary

    Thanks for posting these previews RRA.  I’m really looking forward to seeing Hillary and Tavis.

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    Thanks, just saw that.  I’ll send it to the Admin.

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    See?  Told you she was scary smart (months ago).  How very clever of Madame Secretary to figure out a way to NOT Have to sit there through Obama’s SOTU!!! :-D  

  • Rabble Rouser Rev. Amy

    You’re welcome, Carla!  I’m going to set my DVR right now.  Can’t wait to see Hillary!!

  • NMGRL

    I just read today somewhere that Hillary commented that SOS was a 24/7 job and that at some point she would be more than ready to hand it off…
    That’s sort of intriguing, esp. when one recalls that a while back there was a lot of gossip about how she would quit over policy and challenge Obama.
    Seems unlikely, but one never knows.   And, indicating that 24/7 was wearying also makes it seem unlikely…

  • Linda Anselmi

    Thanks for the heads up RRRA!  I watched the show and all I can say is — She was awesome!!  A true stateswoman becoming a seasoned leader!!  Go Hillary! 

  • stodghie
