Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says in a new interview that she can’t stand “whining” by women who are unhappy with the work and family choices they’ve made in life and complain that they have no options. Clinton, in the interview with Marie Claire, was discussing Anne-Marie Slaughter, a former director of policy planning at the State Department who left in 2011. This summer, Slaughter wrote a much-discussed cover story in the Atlantic - “Why Women Still Can’t Have It all” - about leaving her job because of the difficulty of balancing her work at State with the needs of her two teenage boys.

“I can’t stand whining,” Clinton told Marie Claire. “I can’t stand the kind of paralysis that some people fall into because they’re not happy with the choices they’ve made. You live in a time when there are endless choices … Money certainly helps, and having that kind of financial privilege goes a long way, but you don’t even have to have money for it. But you have to work on yourself … Do something!”

Cattle futures!
Boy, there must have been truth serum in Hitlery’s and Bent One’s coffee this am.
“Why can’t working women be more like Huma?
Huma never whines.
When the work day stretches into the night or weekend, she just curls up in my bed and stays over”.
thus sayeth the aging dyke who has always had government servants to raise her chld
Hillary unchained??????? Quick, check the color of the sky; something’s out of kilter.
I read the “Atlantic” article, and I didn’t think it was whiny. The author simply recognized reality, which is that you can’t be with your family if you’re working all week in another city, and they do notice, and it does matter, unless you have no heart.
What is it with leftists trying to sound conservative when an election is coming up??
Team Clinton tag team today, destroying a couple of Obama narratives (woman as victims (Hil) and economy is back (bill)).
They see writing on wall, and Obama goes under the bus.
Isn’t liberalism all based on being whiny victims??
Tell me Sandra Fluke isn’t whiny
You are probably spot on, she is only going after a specific article because it was true.
Well the war on women from the main stream media and the left is in full force.
I'm betting it's attached to a promise of Ambassador to Tahiti.
But for now, it means free hugs for Bubba.
What are you saying Hillary ? that working women are not competent to both help support their families and compete with others in the work field of hoping to keep a job or career ?
Liberals are whiny because they want reality to be something other than what it is. Sandra Fluke wants sexual promiscuity to be cost-free, and it’s not. Hillary wants Marxism to be a popular and workable ideology, and it’s not.
In my opinion, one of the key characteristics of a conservative is the ability to say, “I consciously chose *this* option from the available possibilities, and the outcome is my responsibility.” Anything about “no choice” is a red flag ... but so is not recognizing the costs of your choices.
Hillery had the household help bringing up Chelsea.
Of course Liberal government is only to happy to oblige, because it is their only way to get and keep voter support.
Not having a workable and logical plan for Americans Liberals can only get and keep support by promising the sun, the moon and the stars to these irresponsible, lazy idiots.
I did specify “unless you have no heart.” Some biological mothers are willing to completely delegate the upbringing of their children. Others care about being a real part of their children’s lives; the author of the “Atlantic” piece was one of these.
Thanks for reading the article for us!
Hillary, as always, is one of the biggest hypocrites on the planet. Given power jobs through her husband, abusing secretaries at the Rose Law Firm, threatening Juanita Broderick, being awarded a senatorial position because her husband is a horn dog and being the most incompetent Secretary of State in the history of America - and SHE berates women???
When will we be rid of these horrible people?
You nailed it, Clinton revenge time
When they die. The really frustrating part is that voters fall for the act!
It's good of Hillary, however, to remind us that she would have been just as bad as Barack Obama.
Had a scary moment. At first glance I thought it said “Hillary Clinton trashes wieners.”
Whining is the whole basis of pushing their ideology. lol. Amazing that they can still accuse others of “whining” for not agreeing with them.
The Democrats' Propaganda Ministry never mentions obvious contradictions.
Love the story of the day Chelsea took ill at school (this was during the Billary presidency).
She asked the school nurse to call her father as her mother was "busy".
I wonder if she is pondering coming out.
Hillary was a campaign volunteer for Barry Goldwater in 1964.
For a brief few years in her youth, she had some intelligence.
Now, she is lost to the lunacy of the Democrat machine.
Shouldn’t talk that way about your constituents.
And she went to Arkansas public schools, LOL.
It wasn't a good outcome.
NEWS FLASH: Hillary Takes "Responsibility" For Yankees' Demise.
What she actually wanted to say is she’d realllllly like a gander at one of Mitt’s Binders!
Since when did Hillary become an expert on raising a family and having a career at the same time? She never stayed home to take care of her child. Chelsea had Becky Brown as a nanny in Arkansas, and when they went to Washington, Helen Dickey, a White House aide became Chelsea’s nanny. And like the Obama girls, they sent Chelsea to Sidwell. As usual, Hillary’s talking out of her a$$.
Thanks everyone for the great comments.
Hillary “the doormat” Clinton giving women advice. Yea, she doesn’t whine about being treated like a doormat by the men in her life, she likes it.
The “VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY” was not whining....was it?
