Like you, this truly bothered me – that Hillary would do something like this.  First of all, this seems like an unlikely issue for the *State Dept*.  What a stretch to put it in a report to the UN???  I don’t get it! 

As soon as I heard this my first thought was the comment written here on NQ on another topic, but fits here (sorry I can’t give credit to the commenter):  Something to the effect, “They (0 admin) are making sure Hillary is given tasks that would make it nearly impossible for her to walk it back” (an insurance policy to make sure she can’t run against thee one) – meaning, things like the very subject of this post.  So true. 

But, I will say, if she is being coersed into these things that she does not fully support, that would be grounds for resigning and explanation enough. 

It is very difficult for me to believe this is for real.  PJ Crowley is 100% on the 0bama bandwagon, so who knows whether he has more loyalty to them or Hillary.  I just hope to hell she didn’t hire him!  I suspect he has been there. 

I understand what “My site” is saying about FoxNews.  Yes, they gave Hillary a fair shake *after* they realized she was in what appeared to be a huge fight for the nomination – prefering her to 0.  Before that, not so much.  Since it has come out recently that Hillary may run against 0 in 2012, their sniping about the Clintons has increased.  I had the same thoughts as My Site. 

If Hillary were to run, we may have no where to go for news but the internet.  Despite the fact FoxNews now thankfully has an on-going investigation of the primary and election fraud, I have said for a long time Fox did not investigate the primary of 2008 and all the reports they received on the caucus fraud, etc., because they are afraid it would help Hillary.  They want a conservative and that usually means republican, regardless of their “fair and balanced” claims.  

In the case of the AZ/UN situation, I don’t think Fox has blown this up, but I do think there is a possibility that she has been burdened with doing things to support 0bama – enough that she can be tainted with the same criticism he is having to take. 

By now, we all should know that no matter what Hillary does, she will be blamed, attacked and vilified.  No woman is EVER going be given the same standards as a man in the same position, making the same decisions.

Obviously, we haven’t learned a thing about the double standard imposed on any woman, for any reason, since the horrid 2008 primary when two accomplished women were treated like a punching bag by anyone who disagreed with them.

I refuse to condemn Hillary for becoming SOS, because had she refused, she would have been attacked as a sore loser; if she refuses to support obama’s policies which her supporters don’t like, they attack her and not obama. 

It was Hillary who gave the heads-up to AZ when she talked about the lawsuit about to be filed by the DOJ in an interview.  I suspect she was called on the carpet for that because we all know Hillary doesn’t have a habit of saying something controversial by “accident”.

We have a corrupt government and powerful forces who put obama in the WH against the express will of the people.  Does anyone honestly think Hillary’s carreer would remain intact if she openly defied obama at this juncture?  Get real. 

Also, if she were to retire now, do you really believe the MSM and the forces behind obama would not go after her should she speak openly against the obama administration?  They would make certain that she never got into office again, because they also control the elections (which was clearly evident considering who won both the 2000 2004 general elections).  They easily stopped her from getting the nomination and the presidency, so do you really believe they’ve lost the power to stop her again? 

Could we put aside the double standard against Hillary for a moment and think of what she is up against?  Based on the latest poll numbers for obama, it appears to me that given enough rope, the obama administration is going to hang itself and come 2012, if he continues to go downhill like he is now, I bet Hillary will be the one everyone will want to run for the presidency.  It would be one of the most historic, if not THE, most historic race in our country’s history on so many levels.

I still believe in Hillary.

My granny was a machinist. Taught me, among other things, the violin, how to set up a lathe and read a micrometer.

This was even more ironic when contrasted to the fact that her husband couldn’t put the top on a bottle of Four Roses without cross-threading it.

The history of female telegraphers (not necessarily radio operators) in the US goes back to just before the War of the Rebellion (1861-1865)*, although, as a practice I suspect it may have been partly motivated by trying to get the wages down.

* Please note that I did NOT say, “War for Southern Independence.” That would have been rayciss ‘n shit…
