Copy Cat Obama rounds out his cabinet–Hillary has accepted Secretary of State

(This is deep. Uppity told me that. – nasuS yssaS)

th_thobama-1As we all know, the man who derided the Clinton years throughout his primary races has rounded out his Copy Cat Clinton Administration by offering Hillary Clinton the position of Secretary of State.

This is the same Barack Obama who, rather than admit his experience in foreign affairs amounted to living in Indonesia or Hawaii as a kid and taking a trip to Pakistan for God Knows What during his mysterious college years, poked fun of Hillary by declaring that she “served tea” to foreign dignitaries. This was right before he poked fun of his superior penis-less opponent by accusing her of “throwing the kitchen sink at me” including “the china“. This, of course, was after he noted her “Periodic” episodes. Brushing her from his shoulders: Indeed.

This is the same man who snorted repeatedly at the thought of “going backwards to the 90s” (when incidentally, everybody, save the the most lazy amongst us, was doing very well for himself or herself).

Now that he has duped the American public into thinking he is even remotely capable of the status quo much less “change,” Obama has arranged his cabinet to mimic the years during which most of us made the money that our Hopey Changey Generation -Y Entitlement-Oriented children are sucking down as quickly as possible whilst suddenly reviling Bill Clinton–an amazing feat considering they were all children at the time, paying full attention to acquiring bright shiney objects from their parents, thanks to BIll Clinton’s ecomony. Ironic, that.

hateman1For all of the items mentioned above alone, I firmly believe that Hillary should be telling Barack The Pig Obama to crap in his hat and put it on his head. But this does not seem to be what is going to happen. It seems pretty clear that Hillary Clinton has indeed accepted the position of Secretary of State and that a formal announcement will occur after Thanksgiving. I know that many of you join me in believing that this is a mistake on her part because we all trust Barack Obama as far as we can throw a baby elephant, but apparently Hillary doesn’t think so. She got where she is using her head, unlike the un-bathed Tweety Matthews’ rendition. So we have to assume she is accepting this position for a reason. We just don’t really know the reason, although you can bet all the faux “journalists” will spend a lot of time telling us the reason instead of actually doing some investigative reporting for a change.

Perhaps Hillary sees this as an opportunity to continue her lifelong apparent desire to do things for the world. Because in spite of the attempt to demonize her for a decade and a half, nobody can deny she actually has achieved some things, unlike the man she will “serve”.

Make no mistake: There is an upside here, even in my doubtful mind. Actually there are two things that come to mind:

1. First, Hillary can work for human rights throughout the world. We all know that this was her cause long ago, when she made one of the Top 100 speeches of the 20th Century during her trip to Beijing on September 5, 1995. Those of us who recall her call for boycott of the Olympic Games — a call which Obama ignored due to his acute interest in acquiring the Olympic Games for Chicago in 2016– know that she will also work very diligently towards the improvement of the situation in places like Darfur. For those of you who do not remember how Obama dodged this call using his most smarmy and thoughtless avoidance techniques, your refresher is here. To Obama, genocide and human rights wasn’t nearly as important as Chicago 2016.

th_thhahahahaI don’t hold out much hope for success in America when it comes to further steps for women though, so long as Barack Obama is in office. As many of us know, he is the quintessential enabler of sexism and misogyny. Those of us who are old enough to remember the past beyond a paragraph in a history book also know that he has already set gender relations backa minimum of 40 years. For this, we must never forgive him. But just maybe Hillary can help a little and hold what is left of women’s rights over for four or eight years, until Mr. Obama is no longer able to Enable the young and impressionable captive dependends who foolishly worship him.

afghanistan-women-executedHopefully, Obama won’t try to stop Hillary from chastising the Middle East, where the woman-hating example has been set for him. A place where women are set aflame for “dishonoring” the family because they were raped against their will. Perhaps she will insist that the Taliban’s habit of shooting women in the head for the hell of it be exposed to the world for the despicable savage shame of it all. The photo at the left is of two women in Afghanistan who were forced to squat while the Taliban shot them both in the head earlier this year. This was also captured on video, I might add, by an AP photographer who himself should be executed in the public square for worrying about his next camera gig while he stood by and filmed this travesty. I do hope no woman has married him. I covered this story here back in July. The video has been “conveniently” removed, but you can still see a photo of these two women, face down and bleeding from their heads if you are so moved.

Perhaps, just perhaps, Hillary’s example will also be able to quell any future “Honor” Killings perpetrated by similar two-legged animals right here in America – such as has already occurred in Georgia and Texas–the one in Texas features two beautiful young teens, one of them pleading for her life on a 911 tape. The beast who did this is still in hiding, aided by other sacks of crap just like him. This kind of savagery is brought to us by others who have learned it in other parts of the world that are living in the year 600 AD, places where we foolishly think we are going to install “democracy”.

Her appointment might also help to stop Barack Obama from implementing universal health care using the useless Insurance Company pandering plan he was pimping throughout the election season. His “plan” clearly bore the mark of a man who has been on the public teat so long, enjoying the very best health care at the expense of taxpayers, that he has no idea what health insurance really costs at a single pay rate. He also has no idea the ways in which the health insurance industry has State legislators in their back pockets. if he did know these things, then he would have known that his $2500 “reduction” plan is an absolute joke. So maybe, just maybe, health care reform will be done right with off-side input from the person who has dedicated decades to that subject–sometimes at her own peril. This is the woman who actually knows what the hell she is talking about when it comes to health care reform. Let’s face it folks. What Tom Daschle knows about health care reform he could write on the back of a postage stamp — and still have room to lick it without getting any ink on his tongue. It is kind of ironic that the man who is lobbying for three Ethanol manufacturers and snatching up as much corn as greedily possible, thereby causing both famine and the tripling of cost of grains worldwide, should be in charge of “Health and Humans”.

There is one more “perhaps” in this appointment. Perhaps, just perhaps, Hillary will keep Barack ”I-don’t-know-shit-but-I-sure-can-talk“ Obama from making a complete ass of himself in the world of foreign relations and at the expense of America. We’ve already had 8 years of that. There is a certain amount of applause due knowing that Hillary will be talking to some very unsavory people before they get to Obama “without preconditions”. It is especially fun knowing that many of them won’t like the idea of talking to a penis-less person with power. They will have to go through her to get to Obama and, based on what I have seen of Mr. “ummm ahhhh, I don’t know, but I will make believe I do,” this is a good thing. It just might keep us from being blown up by people who perceive our President-To-Be as a weak petulant, narcissist manchild who can’t make up his own mind without changing it for the polls.

Now onto the second and far more amusing positive to Hillary’s appointment:

36_11_62. The other positive to Hillary’s acceptance of the Secretary of State slot is more impish on my part, I confess. The Hillary offer is resulting in borderline vascular incidents among the left cliff socialist Huffys, Movey Onzers and Kossacks. They are truly having attacks of anxiety as they watch Barack Obama put together a Bill Clinton administration, complete with his superior opponent, Hillary.

Words cannot express the joy I am feeling at watching smoke come out of these people’s ears. As an additional assault to their currently apoplectic demeaners, Henry Kissinger thinks Hillary is a great pick.

Henry Kissinger said Hillary Clinton, a leading contender to be the Barack Obama’s secretary of state, would be an “outstanding” appointment.

“She is a lady of great intelligence, demonstrated enormous determination and would be an outstanding appointment,” Kissinger, who served in the post from 1973 to 1977 under presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, told the World Economic Forum’s India Economic Summit in New Delhi on Sunday.

Now that’s an announcement that truly ensures we will watch a bunch of communist wannabees have mini-strokes for years to come. Tis’ pure delight to watch and I truly wish I had called nibs on the popcorn concession as I watch these Democracy-hating entitlement freaks blow enough gaskets to keep an entire rubber industry in profits. The rest of us can rest a little easier knowing that Barack Obama won’t get our country blown into the next millennium.

So maybe, just maybe, in spite of Obama’s paranoid need to park Hillary out of Congress, something good could happen here. We women who have spent significant time working the Corporate America ladder in the past understand that Barack Obama’s thumb isn’t big enough to hold Hillary down–even if he thinks so.

    This only confirms her venality. Not worth a tinker’s dam, she is.

    • bemused

      And just what venal sin is served by her putting herself at risk, or did you ever really believe that her motives were at least as honorable as other politicians?

      I’m with Uppity, it boggles my mind yet we still think she is capable of doing good.

      • Mo

        Just to be clear, has it occurred to anyone Clinton evaluated the risk, and took it anyway?

        Balls, most men understand.

        • tillthen

          BS! Mo, it was all about the money. I hope she roasts in Dante’s cellar.

          • Mo

            You say on the one hand she’s being played, OTOH it’s about the money?

            Could you explain.

            And with all due respect, I think you’re wrong.

            Guess we will have to agree to disagree.

          • ritamary

            It was all about the money? What money? Hillary could earn way more in the corporate world than she earns as a senator or Secretary of State. She could earn more just traveling around the world giving speeches like Bill does.

          • C.S.

            If it was “all about the money” and she belongs in Dante’s cellar, what are your plans for the guy rolling in “the money” from all those illegal donations he took? The fires of Hades?

            You know, the guy with aliases and no birth certificate to prove which name is really his, the mystery man who conned the Democratic party into nominating him for public servant and then built himself a Greek temple to be worshiped in? That guy who wasted all of our tax money on an all expense paid tour of the world for him and his campaign staff but couldn’t seem to scrape together enough cash to attend his grandmother’s funeral. Dante’s cellar way too good for him.

      • tillthen

        Sorry, Bemused, I misspoke. I was referring to a conduct commensurate to a mortal sin. Unforgivable. Hers, not mine.

        • bemused

          In the first place, my understanding of the redemption process is that it is between G-d and individual souls, and we are to butt out. In the second place, I suppose you mean pride and greed–you should really give some reasons for this other than a little colorful venting. After all, false witness/rush to judgement is another mortal sin, related to fraud (common fraud, 8th level, the maleboges). What money do you know of that she is going to receive? The O seems to be running a little low on magic cash–don’t see him paying back her $22 million, plus once she accepts she can’t pay down that debt any more. So what do you know that we don’t? I just don’t see her getting on the Acorn handout wagon.

          • elise

            bemused, I’ve always been a little, well, bemused by the idea the Clintons are all about money. It was a myth created by Republicans fifteen years ago, yet when Pres Clinton they were no more than upper middle class. Their home in NY is no more expensive than the home of the Obamas in Chicago.

            I’ve never seen Hillary wearing expensive jewels or outlandish clothes (I was a little embarrassed by Pelosi’s designer clothes and black pearl necklaces at the convention.) She changed her clothes as often as Liberace used to.

            We have become so accustomed to politicians committing fraud and robbing people blind, some can’t recognize the real thing when they see it.

            Hillary will rise above Obama.

            • elise

              sorry, parenthesis in the wrong place. should be She changed her clothes as often as Liberace used to.)

      • Kal

        Since Hillary obviously knows a lot more about the pros and cons of this choice than anyone on this blog, including the troll at the top of the comments, I have to be prepared to accept the legitimacy of her decision both for herself and for the longterm interests of the country. Unusual for many politicians, she actually seems to have a great deal of judgment and integrity.

    Hillary will do a masterful job at SOS. Whatever happened during the campaign is over for now. Obama needs leaders at this dire moment..Hillary is the best choice.

    I believe that my views on foreign policy will prevail with a Clinton Foreign Policy.

    I know people want the best for this country. So lets get behind Hillary!

      “I know people want the best for this country. So lets get behind Hillary!”

      I did this by voting for her.

      Then the party tossed my vote in the garbage can and appointed some other guy because he was one of the “cool kids”.

      I appreciate Hillary likes politics and wants a job, but no, I will not “get behind” this administration any more than I did the last.

      • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

        I’m with HC. Of course this is just “gossip” but has anyone thought this might be true…that a lot of the world leaders really are NOT so in love with Fraudbama and there was a ton of pressure from the OUTSIDE to put someone capable in the SOS spot? I don’t think this is a lovefest for Fraudbama and HRC by any means. He’s STILL the guy that flipped her the finger and thought it was cute.

        I think she wanted a high profile gig and he was desperate because the calls to Camp Cockroach weren’t so positive about know-nothing Fraudbama being azz-exposed in foreign relations without someone like HRC.

        By the way, people, are we forgetting past (recent) history? How can you have respect for a woman who now calls her abuser, the man who beat her mercilessly and cheated her out of her nomination, her BOSS? Ughhh…never mind that this has totally precluded Bill from telling his big “truth” about the Fraud in January. What dirty dealings these all are.

        My feelings for this whole group of Clintonistas, from Ballerina Rahm down are the same. We’re in trouble, and it’s going to be a rough four years. The fish stinks from its head. Period.

        • WildChild

          Do you know how we say country before party. Hillary rolls the same way. She’s not going to sit back and watch America fall just because BOBO is, well……BOBO.

          • Ferd Berfle

            People, unfortunately, will find any reason they can pick out of thin air to criticize the Clintons. Such is the lot of true centrists who are more interested in getting things done than carping from the sidelines. If HRC didn’t accept, she would be castigated; accepting also gets her castigated. I finally came to the conclusion that having her as SoS will at least serve as some sort of check on the self-absorbed adolescent in the Oval office.

            • WildChild

              The grand payback of all time would be if in four years, state is the only cabinet slot of the BOBOadministration that did anything positive.

            • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

              Sorry, but I would like an answer to this…

              Exactly what part of “country first” was the part of Hillary campaigning for, lying for, subjugating herself to, Fraudbama? You guys all sit here saying what a disaster Fraudbama is, then you applaud Hillary for campaigning for him. WTF is that about? That’s about “party and self” first by HRC. If it had been “country first” she would have left the party and told the truth that she and Bill know about Fraudbama. You can’t have it both ways.

              By the way, she has lost a lot of her core supporters by doing this. People that aren’t just bloggers but people who were heavily involved in her campaign and close to her. This is why.

              • WildChild

                I cringed every time Hillary went on stage with BOBO. What I applaud her for is keeping her word to support the dem nom. (even BOBO can’t his word when it’s painful for him) And as to the fair weather friends. I’ve had a few of those in my life. But as we speak BOBoweenies are wailing and gnashing teeth over the despised and terrible Hillary being anywhere near the BOBOadministration. For four years they are going to have to look at her and face the terrible truth that The One….couldn’t do it without her.

                Diabolical ? yes! but Oh Boy does it feel good :)

                • WildChild

                  …can’t keep his word

                • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

                  WildChild…You can have your feelings or whatever for Hillary, no problem. The question I asked was…”What part of campaigning for Fraudbama, lying for him, subjugating herself, etc. what ‘country first’?” The fun thing about America is that until January 20 we are still free to do what we want. She’s a big girl. She made her own choices, knowing how wrong Fraudbama is for this country. Bill kept his mouth shut, knowing that the BC issue is probably 100% true…REMEMBER Bill saying “Yeah, Obama is qualified. Anyone over 35 and a US CITIZEN can be President.” If he knew all of this stuff, and it was “country first,” then where is he when we need him?

                  • WildChild

                    Let me recap. None of the campaigning part was country first. That was Hillary keeping her word (this is good). Hillary accepting the SOS slot is her putting country first(this also good). She could have thrown a hissy fit and stomped off into the next room like the BOBOweenies would have imagined she would. But she didn’t. She put all that BObObullshit behind her and stepped up to the challenge of the mess left by Ggeorge W. bush and the republicans, a task she actively sought in the first place when she ran for president. That’s s how she’s putting country before party. The majority of the party voted of BOBO and they wanted her expunged from the party. You my friend are starting down the same path they took with Hillary. She’s a stand up woman and no matter what the time was, her country called. She, just as promised, answered.

                    • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

                      WildChild…We are going to have to agree to disagree. As I said above, a lot of us aren’t going to just “fall in line,” knowing what we know. You’re entitled to feel the way you do. So are we. I will never believe “country first” was electing Fraudbama. That’s silly IMO. But that’s why we all HAVE opinions. It’s done and over and either people leave the country and take their money and businesses elsewhere and watch Fraudbama sink the Titanic, or people like HRC can have some affect on him. Who knows? You don’t know either. And, considering Fraudbama’s ego, lack of “team player” spirit, etc. that he has ALREADY DISPLAYED, it’s a slim shot that HRC will actually be ACTING AS PRESIDENT, which is what I believe you all think in your hearts will happen. I wonder how you will feel if he fires her, or humiliates her, or diminishes her role in his reign of terror? Let’s see how we all feel in 6 months because NONE of us have a crystal ball on this one.

                    • WildChild

                      No one is asking you to fall in line. You have to go where your heart and mind takes you. The moment we lose that freedom is the moment we stop being the country that I fight for. And, don;t let anybody tell you differently, your anger is good. You’re allowed to be angry. It’s surely much better to let it out then to hold it in and let it fester while you keep a smile on your face. I’m angry that BOBO won this thing. but I’m angry at him, but I’m not going to let that anger wash over onto others around him. I understand what Hillary is doing. I’m a former soldier, I also took the oath to protect and defend the constitution and even though I may not be wearing the uniform anymore the oath till stands. But while I was wearing it, had the call come, I was going no matter who the president was. Once you take that oath, it’s country before party. That’s how it works.

                      I’m going to be angry for a long time. I’m just glad it moved to anger out of depression. The first few weeks were rather troublesome, especially since I am a way happy person normally and I couldn’t drag myself out of this. I still have moments. Not because of Hillary, or Fraudbama, necessarily. But because of the behavior, cruelty, cheating and stupidity of my fellow Americans this election. That’s going to take some time to get past. My father was 82nd Airborne in WWII and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. I’m glad he is no longer with us to see this mess. What he fought for is gone. No matter what happens from now on WildChild, you WILL see the erosion of the Constitution you fought to uphold. Because the Fraud doesn’t like it.

              • Ferd Berfle

                I didn’t applaud her; I merely stated that she was damned if she did and damned if she didn’t. I will say that I’m glad there will be at least one adult in this fustercluck of an administration.

                • imustprotest

                  I agree. All of Hillary’s supporters are left to just try to make the best of a bad situation. I know she will work hard and be a fantastic SOS but I am trying to brace myself for the trashing and the blame game. Obama takes credit for things he didn’t do and passes blame on others for things that he did do. My fear is that Hillary will be the Secretary of Blame. The buck will stop with Hillary, no matter what. It was painful to watch the most qualified candidate get trashed in the primaries, (phase I) then to watch the misogyny continue and escalate against Sarah Palin (phase II)….next will be the blaming of Hillary as SOS (phase III).

                  • Ferd Berfle

                    I’m afraid you’re spot on, imust. I think a lot of people forget that poliltics is mainly the art of compromise. It worked for many years until the partisan oneupmanship became all the rage and we got an entirely dysfunctional government.

                • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

                  Ferd, I don’t have a dog in the Hillary race. Other than yes, I was one of the ones that spent a tremendous amount of time, effort and money to HELP HER. Even though she wasn’t MY candidate. I saw fraud and tried to stop it, as an AMERICAN. I too feel slightly violated that after we did all that, she flipped us off and got Fraudbama elected. And I’m not alone. This was a very high octane, emotional election. Probably the most emotional in recent years. Hearts were broken on every front. Now, everyone is supposed to “fall in line” and make it all okay. Some will, some won’t. I’m stating facts and not really editorializing as Hillary isn’t as important to me as you guys. She’s a politician, I tried to help her, it blew up in my face and I’m stuck with a joke for CIC. I feel slightly more comfortable with her as SOS, albeit with reservation about what she can and can’t do with that nut in the WH. I’m happy for those who are jumping up and down. Just trying to point out the facts from other people’s POV, which I am assuming is allowed.

                  • Ferd Berfle

                    I get it. I have always been a staunch HRC supporter, perhaps because I like her perseverance. But it has been emotional and I despise That One with every fiber of my being. I was sorely disappointed out the outcome of the election and would like nothing better than for the incompetents coming in to replace the previous incompetents to fail miserably. That is not a viable option, however, as we cannot afford a failure now. That One is in *way* over his neophyte head and will need all the help he can get. The 3AM phone call doesn’t seem so funny now. In fact, it is downright scary.

    • Athena the Warrior

      She answers to him. She is no longer an independant Senator. She serves at his whim. If something goes really wrong, she’ll get the blame and it will be easy for him to toss her aside.

      Whatever respect I had for Hillary is totally gone. By taking this position she is saying that all of the misogyny and sexism was fine. She’s sending a terrible message to both girls and boys that treating women as less than human is perfectly acceptable.

      Nothing has changed about BoBo Precious. He’s the same hateful, nasty, bully. Hillary is nothing more than an enabler of bad behavior. Drink the ‘Hillary as SOS’ kool-aid if you wish but this is a sad day for the ideals of America. She put the party and her political career before country and that’s never ok no matter who does it.

      This entire election was nothing but an ugly farce and a sham. Shame on those who went along with it.

      • JoseyJ

        I love seeing Kossacks heads explode over Hillary as SOS – and ALL the other Clintonistas Obama has appointed to his cabinet/administration.
        What?!? did Obots think the Clintonistas on Obama’s campaign staff and advisory boards were just going to fade away if he won??
        LOL

        Oblahma won’t be making decisions – but will be guided by the Clintonistas.

          This is a fun twist for all of the loser Clinton haters that thought Obama had shut them down for good!

          But I can’t help but to be disappointed in Hillary though. She cosigned all of the misogynistic hatred hurled at women everywhere the moment she decided to campaign for that jerk.

          So much for those 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling….

      Bush used to do the same in Boston, Clinton in LA, though it seemed a little smoother when Clinton was President.

      I feel for ya.

  • Mo

    Obama has arranged his cabinet to mimic the years during which most of us made the money that our Hopey Changey Generation -Y Entitlement-Oriented children are sucking down as quickly as possible whilst suddenly reviling Bill Clinton–an amazing feat considering they were all children at the time, paying full attention to acquiring bright shiney objects from their parents, thanks to BIll Clinton’s ecomony. Ironic, that.

    I made a comment above Clinton took a calculated risk as sos, maybe because she has the courage to venture into shark infested waters, in part, because that’s how hte game is played, for ALL, even the men, it’s not for the weak, really.

    And any big mouthed bloggers who would rip her, those with marginal skills, are not the IT studs they think they are, do not have balls, are simply big mouthed pests the other men don’t respect, at all.

    I would even put Obama in that category, you know, no real stones, despite the “99 bitches, but not that joe,” or whatever trash he was spewing that day.

    (I say men because it’s still a man’s world. Though change is comoing slowly and this is a part of that change).

    She might fail, but she has put herself at risk, just like the men, taking on this job all by herself, incoming everywhere she looks.

    I can admire it.

  • bell’artista

    I’m sick of the whole thing.
    Maybe Hillary can do something for human rights out there in the world, just not American civil Rights while her Fuckwad President ( not mine ) is in office….what about Joe the plumber’s civil liberties. just to name one out of millions? Will Hillary check into that, or stolen elections/coups/voter fraud, or, or or? Oh right, she’ll just be checking into stuff in Iran and Gaza and Venezuela and N. Korea and Pakistan.
    And Women’s Issues…..? Maybe in Bejing…but not her own or her own sweet ( and bitter) sister’s here in America.Misogyny is a-ok with her Boss….remember, he’s got 99 problems and “bitch” ain’t one of ‘em…especially not any more.
    She’ll be the smartest, most gracious most wonderful Stepnfetchit in the whole darn world. Shucks….

    Hillary is NO sell out so anyone who comes here to attack her can STFU already.

    I don’t like the idea of Hillary being at “Obama’s mercy” but if the Clintons have taught both their friends and foes anything is that they CAN survive and know how to make a comeback.

    If Hillary has accepted SoS she has her reasons (which she does not have to reveal to us at this time) and no doubt both she and Bill have insured …one way or another….a firewall around her so that Obama cannot try to screw her over.

    The Clintons have experienced far too much in their political careers to be gullible and trusting dupes.

    Just remember that the world of politics…particularly in D.C. is a Byzantine labyrinth of mirrors. The Clintons have enemies in positions of power but they also have loyal allies…in the right places too.

    • FranSC

      I suspect that Emanuel and Podesta set Obama straight about the Clintons. To his credit, Emanuel did not endorse Obama until it was clear Hillary was not going to be able to overcome the super delegate support, etc. I have no doubts he was working feverishly behind the scenes making sure BO would be the nominee. Both Emanuel and Podesta knew Hillary could not be ignored or offered some meaningless position. I’m sure they considered all the things we are hearing – take her out of the Senate and away from being an adversary to Obama. Also, that it would keep her from running against him later.

      However, I believe Hillary knows this was her time and it was taken from her. She also knows, four years or eight years from now would probably not work. Why would she want to go back to the Senate among all those people who either screwed her or stayed silent while she went to hell and back. I do think S of S is better than VP. You can believe one thing – this was a well thoughtout, pragmatic, calculated decision. The Clintons do not operate any other way.

      • dee4hill

        Yes, this was a calculated decision. The Clintons always know what they’re doing. They are the most astute politicians of our lifetimes.

        Stay tuned. This should be interesting.

    Not the choice I would have made but then it wasn’t my choice.

    I’m hoping Hillary can survive.

    Obama has surrounded himself with many old time DCers with experience. What’s that you say? Experience doesn’t count? Suddenly it seems that it does.

    I also just realized that:

    1. Trashing Hillary means criticizing Obama – he picked her.

    2. Trashing Hillary means criticizing Obama’s foreign policy.

    What a quandary for Obama supporters that are also Hillary haters. Heh.

    • oowawa

      Yes Candymarl, as usual, you epitomized the situation quite eloquently. It would almost be worthwhile to tune in Tweety again to see how he wrestles with this “quandary.” Well, almost, but not quite.

      • catherine

        “That’s why some of us admire her, because she can handle what a lot of men can’t.”

        And the main reason so many men AND women fear and attack her. Let’s face it the anti-Clinton crowd has always been composed of envious and insecure losers.

        • Mo

          Exactly right, I’ve come to the conclusion those who are most vociferous in their hatred are the those who are most frightened, projecting onto the Clintons, (rule of thumb, now…)

          Catherine made the point Washington is a hall of mirrors, a vicious hall of mirrors, where the weak don’t survive — so they overcompensate, putting the focus on someone else.

          Never mind creating viable policy…

          • Mo

            Sorry, catherine, I didn’t check your handle…

        • Peggy Sue

          “And the main reason so many men AND women fear and attack her. Let’s face it the anti-Clinton crowd has always been composed of envious and insecure losers.”

          I think there’s a great deal of truth in your comment, catherine. And in Mo’s comment as well. Hillary Clinton is no shrinking violet. And despite many efforts, the Clintons have not rolled up and died.

          As for Uppity’s comments, I find myself in the “perhaps” mode. I’m not looking for Hillary to save the day like a Superhero, but I think she could have a very positive affect on a clueless foreign policy perception. Which is hugely important. It’s a dangerous world out there and sitting around the campfire humming love and peace, ain’t going to do it.

          I also share Uppity’s amusement, even delight as the progressives start running around with their hair on fire. OMG, “this” is not the change we had in mind. How disappointing! I’m wondering if I wasted my vote on Obama. Last night there were 17,000+ posts ar Huffy-Po [many boo-hooing the HRC announcement].

          DUH!

          Which only underscores the suspicion we all had that too many voters had bought into the unicorn philosophy. Plus, what a bunch of whiney, fair weather supporters. I guess they would have been happier if Obama had named a bunch of Taco Bell employees!

          Should be interesting at the very least.

            The fact that the left wing bloggers are beside themselves in anger is victory enough for me

            They always thought that anybody that voted for the war resolution was evil. Now they have Hillary as head of Foreign policy..
            Time for the America haters to put their white flags of defeat back in the drawer.

            • Peggy Sue

              You know, Seattle, I’ve found the “America-hate” really appalling, as if there’s any nation in the world or throughout history that’s been a utopia, populated by perfect people. Have we made mistakes? Absolutely.

              But when a people seriously try to sell the virtues of Cuba or Hugo Chavez, I wonder what they’ve been smoking. Pule-e-ese.

              Plus those same people wouldn’t last two weeks under the regimes they’ve so romanticized. I don’t know what they’re teaching in the schools anymore. But it ain’t good!

  • evgenia

    I’m not thrilled with her taking the post at all. So what, she serves 4 years or God forbid 8 years while taking all the blame and none of the glory for Obama? If Obama presidency is but one term, Hillary has no senate seat to go back to, she’d be neutralized with respect to lead on domestic issues, especially healthcare. I’m disappointed in her politically calculated decision to play along with Obama, while at the same time I don’t doubt her willingness and sincerity in helping to guide this country in unstable times. I have mixed feelings.

    BTW, I talked with an avid Obama supporter at work yesterday and she was pissed off to say the least that Hillary is to become the SOS. As expected, she didn’t blame Obama for making the appointment at all, he could do no wrong. My co-worker hates Hilllary and spews the most anti-Hillary Republican talking points, it’s actually quite funny to see her so worked up. She blames Hillary for worming her way into a cabinet position. My comeback to her was something along the lines of “so Obama is so weak that he allows an evil shrew to weasel herself in as SOS? Got it.” All I got was silence.

      The GOP will raise again and take down the monster (the 0) that they have helped create in order to mash the Dem party under their feet.

      Why did the GOP throw this election to 0? — because they don’t want to be left holding the bag when the Economic World Wide DEPRESSION hits.

      I’m not about to follow anyone over the cliff —

      You O-bots are insane — Hillary supporters carefully chose to give Hillary our support. Whereas you 0-bots never used logic — just the primitive mob mentality. Which means 0-bots are no longer human — you are are zombies-0-zoids.

    What a joy-watching the huffpos’ and kozzacks’ heads explode over the news. What will the moveoners say now? They actually believed the bullshit BO was saying about the Clintons during he primaries. They actually thought he meant it when he talked about changing Washinton. Just words? Oh my-just words. Maybe now they will wake up from their koolaid induced trance and realize that the bullshit BO was slinging during the primaries was…well… bullshit. Now on to Hillary being SOS. I too, have mixed feelings. I think there is no one more qualified for the job and I believe that she is capable of being a wonderful and transformational SOS, as long as she is allowed to do her job without too much interferance from BO and his lackies. I wonder if BO would allow her to be wonderful. If she really has taken the job, I believe her reasoning would be country first. I would also like to see the msm treat her with fairness-something they may do, if she is associated with BO.

  • New Party

    The Hillary offer is resulting in borderline vascular incidents among the left cliff socialist Huffys, Movey Onzers and Kossacks. They are truly having attacks of anxiety as they watch Barack Obama put together a Bill Clinton administration, complete with his superior opponent, Hillary.

    For all of the items mentioned above alone, I firmly believe that Hillary should be telling Barack The Pig Obama to crap in his hat and put it on his head.

    _______________________________________________________
    For a public rejection at this stage…well, she could of course cut off her own noise, sabotage her own place in the party and Senate for a one or two day story.

    OR work to get her agenda out to a worldwide audience on a daily basis by continuing the lineage of a two decades dominance of women in the Secretary of State position. The strongest female yet serving what’s shaping up to be one of the weakest presidents in memory.

    Who would have thought ? It may be becoming an unspoken Washington institution which will make it awkward if not impossible to ever revert to a man in that role again.

  • SarahFan

    Hillary has abandoned us and now we must do the same. She is a traitor. Sarah is the woman who can lead us to the promised land. She has all the brains of Hillary and then some plus is more correct on the issues. Go SARAH 2012.

      Sorry, but you can’t get away in calling Hillary Clinton a traitor. I felt sorry for Sarah Palin and the savaging she took from the Dems and the press alike.

      But give me a break! Sarah Palin has miles to go before she’ll stack up to Hillary’s credentials. And Palin has time; she’s still a young woman and done very well for herself. But she still needs seasoning and more national experience and exposure. She’s got the star power, so she could easily have a bright political future.

      But, let’s get real–she’s no Hillary Clinton! Not yet, at least.

      • catherine

      Excuse me, Sarah fan. This is a pro Hillary website and has been for a while. The people who run this blog have asked us to be civil. Calling Hillary a traitor is hardly civil.

      Many of us voted for McCain/Palin, including me. I like and respect both of them. However, I do not agree with either of them on many issues including abortion, oil drilling in ANWR, and shooting wolves.

      Getting back to the topic of Hillary as SOS, I wonder what Randi Rhodes is saying? All of you remember Randi don’t you, late of Air America? Remember her glorious 15 seconds of fame at the San Francisco Obama benefit event when she called Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro whores?

      Randi is still out there somewhere on the airwaves I think, but I don’t know where. How is lovely Randi feeling now about the f*/$#@g whore, as she sooooo endearingly put it, who is now the messiah’s SOS?

    Hillary didn’t abandon anyone. If she had told BO to go F himself like we’d all like a ringside seat to, she’d be finished. She’s been at this too long and has too much to offer to let like the likes of Bobo bring her down. pft.

    • KathyNeocon

      Hillary didn’t abandon anyone. If she had told BO to go F himself like we’d all like a ringside seat to, she’d be finished.

      Very likely–ever since Obama stole the nomination from Hillary, she’s been in a lose/lose situation. Barry wants her where he can keep her under his thumb and at the same time take credit for foreign affairs prowess. If she trips up in the slightest he’ll jump on a chance to boot her out of Washington altogether. I’ll surprised if she survives four years in Barry’s White House of Horrors. :shock:

      • New Party

        I’ll be more surprised if Barry survives four years. He has his work cut out for him.

        I won’t be surprised at all if Hillary breaks records as the best SoS in history (if she accepts).

  • AM

    I truly believe that Hillary had no choice but to say “OK.” She might have been told that if she refuses o’s offer, there would not be any support for her from the DNC in future.

    By forcing her to take the SOS position (if it happens), the Clintons’ haters like oobama and top members of the DNC might be calculating that they can destroy not only Hillary but also her husband.

  • Athena the Warrior

    Hello if she takes the SOS she serves under him. The only voice that she will have is the voice that he will allow her to have. This is an Obama Administrtaion not a Clinton Administration. The only agenda she will get to work on is the one that Bobo Precious will allow her to work on.

    I can’t believe how strong the Hillary as SOS kool-aide is. Apparently it makes one forget about the sexism and misogny that was directed at Hillary and Sarah during the election. I’ll be shocked if she last all four years.

    • Peggy Sue

      I haven’t taken the koolaid from either side of the aisle. But I respect Hillary Clinton’s judgment and I admire her never-ending grit. BTW, I have not forgotten the sexism during this election cycle. Nor will I. But if HRC can have a positive affect on a less-than-promising election result then she has my support. And prayers!

      • catherine

        Agreed. I have not forgotten nor forgiven the hateful sexism, gestapo like tactics and electoral fraud.

        I don’t want to see Hillary “under Obama’s thumb” EVER!

        Having said that, I also know that both Hillary and Bill are light years ahead of any of us in terms of political savviness, shrewdness and surviving what most can’t. So, with that in mind, if Hillary accepts SoS its because she knows what she’s doing. The Clintons see the big picture and they see far ahead.

        Also remember that NOBODY controls Hillary.

    • New Party

      And what is her alternative? She could start a women’s collective against misogyny, I guess, or she can take an influential job as secretary of state where she can perform on the world stage.

      Do you really think that if Hillary Clinton refused the job, that misogyny would go away? Nope. She’d be called a whiny girl and they’d close the door on her. She IS taking a risk, but that’s what having balls and brains is all about.

  • Pingback: Clinton On Best Political Blogs » Blog Archive » Copy Cat Obama rounds out his cabinet–Hillary has accepted …

  • Texas Playwright

    Hillary knows how the world works. She has survived the vitriol for 15 years and goes about doing her work. Politics is a contact sport, as Bill said in the primaries.

    At the very least/worst, Hillary will be writing some hugely interesting books. BHO is a fraud, a puppet, a user, a liar, a cheat, a thief–we all know that. Now, let’s pick our battles–mine is election reform and restoring respect for women–and get on with it. This does, of course, include calling BHO on any more scandals and dumb ideas.

    oh geez….LMAO….your writing is excellent UW…dead on and very witty and funny to boot. Thank you not only for that but for giving us a different perspective of this situation. I still feel betrayed by Hillary because she went to such great lengths for Obama appearing 79 times for him-unheard of before in a GE for a former opponent in the race. I can see making a showing but she didn’t need to do this 79 times. But we will see what happens down the road.

    I agree that there is fiendish delight in watching Obots heads explode. It also doesn’t say much for Obama’s hopey changey mantra when he implements most of the Clinton’s old administration especially when he showed such disdain, disrespect and lack of acknowledgement for their success while in office.

  • Bob

    For all you losers that voted for Obama I suggest you open a history book and review Bill Clinton’s economic record as President. He helped all the losers who voted for Obama. Greatest economic expansion history of country, lowest African American unemployment, balanced budget. You Obama losers called him a racist. He has done more for Blacks in Africa than any other black American. Is Obama really black? I assume the majority of Obama backers can read and comprehend.

    • catherine

      True, the Clintons have done more for AA’s than Obama or Michelle have EVER done for them.

    This is the same man who snorted repeatedly at the thought of “going backwards to the 90s” (when incidentally, everybody, save the the most lazy amongst us, was doing very well for himself or herself).

    Now that he has duped the American public into thinking he is even remotely capable of the status quo much less “change,” Obama has arranged his cabinet to mimic the years during which most of us made the money that our Hopey Changey Generation -Y Entitlement-Oriented children are sucking down as quickly as possible whilst suddenly reviling Bill Clinton–an amazing feat considering they were all children at the time, paying full attention to acquiring bright shiney objects from their parents, thanks to BIll Clinton’s ecomony. Ironic, that.

    Yeah, ain’t it great!

    So much for Obama’s “change.”

    And just look at the dumb brats who run down the Clintons. The very Clintons who restored our economy after over a decade of “trickle-down” economics & left America with a trillion-dollar surplus.

    Spoiled scum.

    I too got behind Hillary by going to a hell hole caucus and fighting for her. It was here I learned all about the con man 0-zero — because only a con man would have TRAINED thugs at rural caucuses to forced their messiah down our throats.

    Then I voted for her in the primary — which the Dem party tossed out. The only good thing was that our Vote in WA showed to the world just how much 0-zone-zero had played and conned the caucuses. Texas Hillary supporters went through hell as well in their dual caucus/primary state.

    We voted, donated and got out the vote for Hillary.

    Now she’s run off with the abusing spouse — the one we DID not want.

    And I feel the same deep sadness when I see a good friend or relative marrying a man who I absolutely know is an abuser.

    For those of you who are happy that at least Clinton gets some recognition — I’m glad your side has gotten some pleasure from this.

    I’m a realist — Obama is a serial abuser. I will do whatever is needed to see Dems thrown out of office. I want to see Obama impeached and exposed.

    0-zero will toss her under the bus — because he is an a abuser. And 0-zero is NO Christian – Malignant Narcissists have no room for any other religion in their lives.

      Amen Northwest. Barry and MEchelle are their own religion. Hillary’s toast. Seems like a new height for her, really it’s the death blow.

        As seems usual for me, I am somewhere in the middle between the general sentiments expressed in this thread. One thing I think many of us can agree on, the discussion is getting old fast. I hope one thing some of us have learned from this election: prior to it, many of us never voted for or worked with the other party. May just a smidgen of this cross-party work continue for shared goals. :) The only people who benefit from “us against them” are neither us nor them.

        • Ferd Berfle

          I agree Galt. This rancor between what are otherwise Centrists should stop. Party affiliation means nothing any more. I certainly have more in common with moderate Republicans than with any Democrat about now.

      I am sooo with you Northwest Rain….

      What I think is sad is that the people who are so jacked up about Hillary being SOS are somehow thinking that Hill and Bill are the new Commanders in Chief. I hear deluded stuff that sounds like it will be a Bill Clinton WH again. I don’t think so. Yet another disappointment for those who attend the Church of Clinton.

      No way after seeing what I saw during the Primary forward do I have hope that Fraudbama will do anything but be snitty about her and her vast experience. If it goes bad, more broken hearts.

  • amanda_tx

    Being Sec of State does not invoke images of being under anyone’s thumb for me, it is one of the most prestigious positions in the world. Obama did well to pull in a Centrist cabinet, so some of my nausea has abated. I do not see Hillary as being a weak sister, constrained to a dead-end alternative. She is a lot more powerful as SOS than ever would have been continuing as a NY senator in a Senate with the same elements that s@#rwd her out of the nomination. Hillary is tough ladies and gentlemen, and we are better off as a nation to have her there. Though of course Id rather have seen her as President. She is a world class act and belongs in a global setting of prestige and power.

    • fif

      Ditto. I am amused by people who think they have a better vantage point of all the obstacles, options and complex DC machinations than HRC does from her decades of experience. Her priority is the same as it has always been–getting her agenda items through. She would have limited ability to do that in the Senate with severe seniority restrictions. The worst by-product of the Bush Administration has been the damage to our reputation around the world and the dangers we face. HRC is front and center to influence this now, knowing BO is woefully unqualified.

      I’m with Uppity–she’s under no one’s thumb.

  • Galt’s Pizza Parlor, nautical division

    Best of luck to Hillary if she is offered and takes the job. I would rather have her “vote present” and not take the job, but she has been through hell for her country and I respect her decision even though I disagree with it. Oh I am not clear what the status is since I am in a self imposed news blackout condition. :mrgreen: Do you think “voting present” is like “wide stance,” two new phrases added to the American lexicon for embarrassing reasons? :shock:

  • standard

    I’m mostly happy with Obama so far.
    He could do a lot worse than following Clinton’s footsteps,
    and I don’t think he should be knocked for having taste.

  • Bob

    So…Larry got it wrong when he spread the rumor that John Kerry was going to be secretary of state?

    http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/11/07/word-on-the-cocktail-circuit-obamas-appointments/

    Tsk, tsk. And he was quoting “in the know about Barack’s national security team.”

    Grab the “whitey”-out. Time for another correction.

    You’d think big whiffs like these would cause Larry to re-think the avisability of promoting un-sourced rumors.

    • fif

      Bob, do you have a life?

        This is what makes NQ entertaining. You can’t address the issue. The best you can come up with is to say people who post on NQ have no life. What do you think you’ve been doing all morning?

        Priceless.

      • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

        fif…@ Bob…I wouldn’t say “life” is a problem. I would lean more towards “grey matter.”

  • fif

    My favorite paragraph [I love the way you nail Obama with the perfect descriptions lol!]:

    There is one more “perhaps” in this appointment. Perhaps, just perhaps, Hillary will keep Barack ”I-don’t-know-shit-but-I-sure-can-talk“ Obama from making a complete ass of himself in the world of foreign relations and at the expense of America. We’ve already had 8 years of that. There is a certain amount of applause due knowing that Hillary will be talking to some very unsavory people before they get to Obama “without preconditions”. It is especially fun knowing that many of them won’t like the idea of talking to a penis-less person with power. They will have to go through her to get to Obama and, based on what I have seen of Mr. “ummm ahhhh, I don’t know, but I will make believe I do,” this is a good thing. It just might keep us from being blown up by people who perceive our President-To-Be as a weak petulant, narcissist manchild who can’t make up his own mind without changing it for the polls.

  • Kal

    Hmmmm. I am perplexed by the vitriolic ‘this will be the end of Hillary’ tone dominating this thread.

    I think that’s just another way of saying ‘that chick just can’t do that job.’

    I prefer to expect that we have not yet seen the full dimensions of Hillary’s greatness, and that if she is accepting this, she sees a path to something that she thinks is worth pursuing.

    BO has had everything handed to him, and, like the GenYers who are still trying to figure out how to keep living like children of overindulgent boomer parents without really preparing for a career or liking hard work very much, he has ended up not having done much about anything, not knowing much about how to do anything except find those with power who will cut him a deal, and having to rely on others to just prop that Potemkin Obama up and try to make him look good.

    Hillary, however, has had to learn everything the hard way, really come to understand it, know who is who and which way to go forward in a gale, and so she brings a vastly more superior skill set — and character, judgment — to the task.

    I’m expecting to be impressed, and, maybe, someday, not just surprised by what she accomplishes as SOS, but knocked right over by the genius of it all.

    Hillary rising!!

    PUMA!!!

  • Ferd Berfle

    After reading some of the posts on this thread, all I can say is that this country is in for a really bumpy ride the next four years. While I would prefer that HRC remain in the Senate where she could be a significant bur in That One’s dinky saddle, I don’t mind her taking SoS since she could provide the adult supervision That One will be in desperate need of. The preferred alternative, her staying in the Senate, could actually make things worse. This election is over and we have the prospect of a truly wretched presidency facing us. HRC may not be able to make things better working in That One’s administration, but without her there, that will most certainly be a given.

    • stodgie

      ferd, i agree! i have been a voice against barky and crew from the beginning. i remain so. i am not sure if her move to state will be better for her but i would prefer her there rather than some dufus barky could name. think of the possibilities. i am also curious to know who ya’ll think might be named in her place. caroline anyone? personally i don’t think she wants the headaches. in her shoes i wouldn’t. does roberty kennedy jr. live in new york?

        None of the Kennedys would make me comfortable and none of the candidates running this election cycle would, either. HRC is actually the only one who makes sense for the position and is perhaps the only thing That One has done in his entire career that makes real sense, which is a damn shame, considering what he did to her during the primaries.

    HI YA UPPITY ~

    This is a masterpiece.

    Just browsing, see ya @ Home, soon.

  • SeeNoEvil

    caroline anyone?

    Yup.

    • Kal

      Nope.

      No Caroline. She’s just not cut out to do anything except tell people she doesn’t really want to get involved, holding Teddy’s elbow, and continuing to do a really great job as a lifelong and committed mom.

  • stodgie

    yeah, i agree! i don’t see caroline going for it though i can imagine uncle ted asking with a tear in his eye wanting the kennedys to remain an important part of the democratic process.

    i am wondering at just who might be put forward. the names i have seen mentioned say caretaker to me and not winner.

    the real moment of joy i have right now is imagining olebummer(msnbc) choking on his toast this morning. or matthews face getting seriously red with heart palpitations.

    I also felt ambivalent about this in the beginning, Uppity. Like most here, I was so angry after the election, I actually wanted Obama to fail.

    Now, the economic crisis is hitting some members of my family and I’m trying to be realistic about the next four years. I also appreciate the irony of most of his appointee coming from the Clinton administration since during the course of the primaries Obama had not one good word to say about it while he was praising Reagan and GHWB.

    I wonder if the Party didn’t begin to realize he was in way over his head and what that could mean for the country? Like you, I am getting some pleasure from the idea of exploding heads in the blogs and media. They may be able to say they won, but we can say we were right which is way more important.

    Thank you for your great post.
