Less than a month after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton distanced herself from President Obama by ridiculing his foreign policy, a key member of the Clinton kitchen cabinet is out with a new book that slams U.S. policy as “muddled, irresolute, and even feckless.”
Doug Schoen’s double-barreled blast at Obama in the new book, The Russia-China Axis: The New Cold War and America’s Crisis of Leadership, is the latest sign that Clinton’s team will throw Obama under the bus if that’s what it takes to get her into the White House.

Two Democrats I can actually listen to: Doug Schoen & Pat Caddell. IMO, not pro-Clinton so much as DEFINITELY anti-Obama.
As for the subject of the article,she'll issue an apology in 5, 4, 3, 2 . . . .
Obama’s failures are obvious. Name a single Obama foreign policy foreign policy error that Hillary Clinton objected to as Secretary of State.
Correct. Her job was not to be a rubber stamp for the feckless one.She was 100% on board with everything they collaborated on. Nobody is going to believe your distortions any more Hill.
Easy. She and they [her worshipers] just omit the fact that she was a part of it. The media will never correct it and her worshipers will never be the wiser.
Hillary, as with all Democrats, is a liar and the truth will never be found in them.
And if you blame her you will immediately be labeled a sexist.
As far as I’m concerned, both teams need to get fecked.
Ever heard the phrase, “Republicans meet to eat, Democrats meet to plan”?
Obozo the socialist has had his day in the sun. Folks in America are weary, worn out by the hard left turn in America. Now, it is Hitlary’s turn to pick up the torch and carry it forward.
People, this is all strategic propaganda to move the progressive ball further down the field. Don't fall for it.
Notice, at the same time, the media begins running parallel stories hyping moderate to left leaning Romney, Christie, Ryan preparing their runs for 2016. Nothing would make the left happier. If they cannot capture the highest office, they'd gleefully support liberals with an R attached to their names in the oval office.
Either side will at the very least attempt to keep the status quo and covertly water down the conservative message.
Hillary's ideology is as bad as the Obozo camp. Besides y'all, this is not a Hillary, Obozo thing. These people are surrounded with, strategize amongst the leftist of the left. This is an army of leftist, not a single socialist attempting to muddle through American politics single handed. Remember, it was Hillary who led the previous charge for socialized medicine. It was an attempt by the left with Hillary as the spokesperson...it failed. Now it is a reality, just so happens conditions were just right to push it through while the usurper occupied our sacred office.
Americans, particularly the low info voters...on both sides are the real danger here. They will fall for anything. Easily swayed with a “shocker” headline designed for that purpose alone...sway the uninformed, knee jerk reactionary voter.
Voter beware. This is not conspiracy nutjob rantings. Well maybe I am a lil nuts, but keep an open mind, the socialist will fight hard to defend the ground captured during this nightmare term of Obozo.
Vote the most CONSERVATIVE all the time. Otherwise we have no hope of turning back a decade of liberal ideology that has swept this nation.
Who could forget 2012 candidate Obama's campaign ploy---- repeatedly reassuring Americans that he had “decimated” our jihadist enemies---famously saying "Bin Laden was dead and al Quaeda was on the run."
Bill Clinton weighed in, as well---invented some cockamamie story WRT whey he didn't nail B/L....even though he knew where he was. For all we know, B/L could still be alive.
And here's another "shining" example: Obama gave GWB a slapdown----blaming Bush for Obama's having to go back to wage a war Obama had previously bragged he, himself, had ended.
How'd he do that?-----using the magic of "smart power"---a term coined by Hillary Clinton.
======================================================
ALL YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT "SMART POWER": Hillary played a huge part in Obama's "Smart Power" debacle.......together with her all-girl State Dept airheads.
Hillary's abysmal record as SoS needs intense scrutiny. She globe-trotted incessantly and stupidly delivered the wrong reset button to Russia; she sucked-up to the blood-thirsty Muslim world and sap-happily thought she was making peace just about everywhere.
===============================================
Behold what "Smart Power" hath wrought: Debacle after debacle---Obama's careening and incomprehensible handling of the Syrian crisis, Benghazi, Ukraine, Boston bombings, Muslim jihad.
Obama's a US ntl security and foreign policy centerfold---he's stark naked before the world----naive, isolated, and outlandishly stupid..... displaying a buncha State Dept/NSA boobs as advisors. Obama gave his van driver a seat at the national security crisis table. Some 5 million of Obama's hand-picked boobs have top ntl security clearance. Who are these people?

Democrats' 'Smart Power' Lies in Ruins; Suddenly
Realizing What They Miscalculated About the World
National Review | Sept 3, 2013 | Jim Geraghty / FR Posted by kristinn
....... Democrats are suddenly realizing that their foreign policy brain-trust completely misjudged the world.
Being nicer to countries like Russia will not make them nicer to you. The United Nations is not an effective tool for resolving crises. Some foreign leaders are beyond persuasion and diplomacy. There is no “international community” ready to work together to solve problems, and there probably never will be.
You can pin this on Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Susan Rice, but most of all, the buck stops with the president. Those of us who scoffed a bit at a state senator ascending to the presidency within four years on a wave of media hype and adoration are not quite so shocked by this current mess.
We never bought into this notion that getting greater cooperation from our allies, and less hostility from our enemies, was just a matter of giving this crew the wheel and letting them practice, as Hillary Clinton arrogantly declared it, “smart power” (and fronted Time magazine cover).
(These people can’t even label a foreign policy approach without reminding us of how highly they think of themselves.)
They looked out at the world at the end of the Bush years, and didn’t see tough decisions, unsolvable problems, unstable institutions, restless populations, technology enabling the impulse to destabilize existing institutions, evil men hungry for more power, and difficult trade-offs.
No, our problems and challengers were just a matter of the previous hands running U.S. foreign policy not being smart enough. (Excerpt) Read more at nationalreview.com ...
===============================================
When "dead broke" truth-teller Hillary Clinton, criticized Obama's foreign policy as too timid. Obama vehemently responded...... with two rounds of golf on Martha's Vineyard.
NOTE....that's the Democrat version of "playing rough" (cackle).........
Truth-telling Dummycrats dare not utter a "discouraging word"....and being even a tad "judgemental" is a definite no-no......unless, of course, you are lining up for a govt job in another Clinton administration.
Not so sure the branches were to be co equal. They function independently in their spheres but in my view the Congress was to be the driver.
The biggest mistake was changing the Constitution to allow for popular vote for Senate. It is frankly against the precept of the constitution which was a national government under the control of the states through the Senate and the people directly, the House.
As more of that notion goes away, expect the electoral college to go away too so we can have a popular vote for the president. If the College had done its job, the charlatan we have now would be mowing grass at the old cabrini gardens.
Watch Bret Baier’s 13 Hours in Benghazi. Tells you all you need to know about Obama and Hillary. Case Closed!
All you need to know about Obama and Hillary Clinton:
**************************************
I have followed the Benghazi situation closely from the get-go. Obama and Hillary need to be charged with treason at a minimum .... murder would be ok with me. I watched the Baier special .... I cannot tell you what I wanted to do to Obama/Hillary, et al as I watched those 3 great defenders of America recall their experience and break down at the loss of their brothers-in-arms. It makes me absolutely physically ill when I look at Obama/Hillary and that whole nest of vipers infesting our government and if they don't get what they deserve on this earth, I hope they get justice somewhere else. I'll leave it at that .... and this:
