The new Hillary Clinton (Exactly What Has She Accomplished?)
Politico ^ | Feb 1, 2013 | Glenn Thrush

Posted on 02/01/2013 5:44:15 PM PST by what's up

Hillary Clinton has logged about a million diplomatic miles in the past four years, but her political odometer has been reset to factory zero as she exits the State Department Friday with the highest approval rating of any potential 2016 contender.

Even as Clinton concluded her victory lap on her way out of office this week, there were signs that the 65-year-old former first lady is still afflicted by the same problem that hampered her during the up-and-down 2008 campaign: an inability to clearly define her leadership or governing philosophy.

An instinctive team player who spent two decades working at Bill Clinton’s side, Clinton has often struggled to tell her own tale with the self-promotional élan of her husband, often placing an emphasis of rationality over rationale, competence over a concise point-by-point presentation of her own accomplishments.

Hillary helped topple our allies in Egypt and Libya and her loose diligence got our mission decimiated in Libya; as a result Al Queda get a foothold in Mali.

She and her husband were very much responsible for 9/11 although most have forgotten that. Their loose diligence caused our defenses to sag pre-2011. She's as bad a liar as Obama and has been for longer.

Whenever Hillary gets battered she determines to come back stronger. This is what she thinks she has done with the Benghazi debacle. She thinks it's all behind her because she's gotten away with such a strategy for decades. We'll see if this works out for her this time as she eyes the presidency going forward.

The Hillary Rodham Claims to Fame:

Rudely addressed a U.S. Senator at Wellesley Commencement Speech.

Worked as a lawyer on Watergate committee and wrote a document in which President Nixon would not be allowed legal representation at his impeachment hearing. One lawyer close to the situation said that she should never, ever again have a position of responsibility.

Became good buddies with the Black Panthers.

Married a guy in order to hold his coattails as he advanced in politics.

Turned her eyes when he had affairs with loads of other women.

Told a women that her husband had raped that she should just keep quiet about it.

Wrote five executive orders extending abortion-on-demand for her husband which he dutifully signed, on their very first day as president.

Began a push for national healthcare and worked it in secret, without input from anyone outside her circle of friends.

Need I go on?

Again, exactly what makes Hillary Rodham the "Most Powerful Woman in American History"?

It must be the mesmerizing crotch:

It appears to be Hillary's turn. The media is now completely transparent.

I wonder who's turn it is on the GOP side?

Any position Hillary Clinton has attained is a direct result of who her husband was.

For one thing, she was instrumental in eliminating at least one potenial source of embarassment to her and obama later on down the road. And she has probably made the world safer for international pimps and drug dealers.

Hillary does appear to have had a ‘neck nip and tuck’ she doesn't have her double chin...so she is beginning the facial make over...but she will still be a chunky, old lady..

Can I ask how in the sam hill that Hillary has allegedly high approval ratings?

During the 2008 primaries, Hillary had some of the highest negatives ever recorded in polling for a major presidential candidates. The rehashing of all of the Clinton scandals did not help her cause at all. Her abrasive shrill personality rubbed lots of people the wrong way.

How historic will it be, if Hillary becomes the 1st woman president, that she would have only gotten the job because her husband had been president? Do the feminists really like that message, that a woman can only rise to high office because of her husband???

The feminists think she is a genius. They could never believe she is little more than below average. They believe Bill became president because of her. The majority of women believe the same thing. Dumb as rocks. We should have never given them the vote!

She looks and behaves remarkably well for being so “sick” for so long. She, Clinton and Obama are the biggest serial liars in American history.
