Iowa Democrats Can’t Name Hillary Clinton's Accomplishments as Secretary of State

For his With All Due Respect show on Bloomberg TV, Mark Halperin sat down with a focus group of Iowa Democratic voters to discuss Hillary Clinton‘s prospects for the 2016 presidential election.

While the group fawned over the former First Lady’s personality and politics (one called her a “bad mama jama”), they were stumped when Halperin asked them to name a single accomplishment of Hillary Clinton’s during her tenure as Secretary of State.

The responses ranged from “I really can’t name anything off the top of my head” to “Give me two minutes” to “I honestly can’t say I followed along everything that was going on” to outright “No.”

Washington Post‘s “The Fix” blog noted that while it’s stunning that some of her biggest fans cannot name her State Department achievements, “not being able to name specific things politicians have done isn’t that unusual for the average voters. Quick, name something that John Kerry has done as Secretary of State. Right. Think Iowa Republicans could do much better naming significant things Jeb Bush did as governor or Marco Rubio has done in the Senate?”

Clearly, she does indeed have some accomplishments, can’t begrudge her that.

From the Urban Dictionary...bad mama jama:

“A girl whose body measurements are perfect in every dimension. She’s got a figure that’s sho’ ‘nuff gettin’ attention. She’s poetry in motion, a beautiful sight to see. I get so excited viewin’ her anatomy. She’s built, she’s stacked, got all the curves that men like. She’s as fine as she can be. Looks like she’s poured into the gold, she bad(good way). The essence of beauty, ooh, such lovely hair. She’s foxy, classy, sexy, sassy. She’s heavenly, a treat for the eye to see.”

I had to look that one up. That describes Hillary! perfectly.

The media is fond of calling Hillary ‘the most travelled’ secstate. That always reminded me of Spinal Tap being ‘England’s loudest band’.

Sadly, her only accomplishment that matters to this gaggle of idiots is the biological plumbing between her legs.

Didn’t she “dodge sniper fire” or singlehandedly defuse a nuclear weapon or bake cookies?

She cleaned out Vince Foster’s office after she had him murdered. That’s something, isn’t it?

During the period 2009-2012, the net movement of Freedom House’s Index of Freedom in the World was -82.

https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-world-2015/discarding-democracy-return-iron-fist#.VVzQ1euQnVt

BACKGROUND: Following the fall of the Berlin Wall, there was a strong movement toward democracy (along with free markets, prosperity and peace) in the world. This movement peaked in 2006 (the last year of net positive movement). Since then, the movement has been strongly in the direction of authoritarianism (along with crony capitalism, falling standards of living and violence and war). Anyone who says Bush or Obama or their Secretaries of State did a good job has no idea what they’re talking about and maybe deep inside themselves actually do know but are too frightened by what is happening to admit it.

She got rid of a pesky Libyan ambassador

She devised an alternate electronic record keeping system. She then saved costs by taking it on herself to sort out the useless stuff so that investigators wouldn’t have to spend so much time.

She established a fund that gave donors the opportunity to avoid embarrassment by using almost 8% of the funds for charitable causes.

That same fund gave our domestic and foreign business partners a way to show their appreciation for her fine management of our other resources.

She found a taker for a large fraction of our radioactive uranium.

She gave a Russian ambassador a button to “overcharge”, thus helping the Russian economy.

She promoted gun ownership amongst certain Mexican “businessmen”

She promoted peace and harmony in Pakistan by running advertisements that explained how bad American free speech videos are.

She reduced costs associated with the security of foreign embassies by eliminating engagement in costly battles with well armed terrorists.

Well, how about her Bimbo Eruptions Office at the WH? She successfully controlled the MSM by smearing any woman who Bill decided was good enough looking to interest him in a liaison.

That was one accomplishment.

She also has coined several memorable lines, like “what difference does it make”, and “the vast right-wing conspiracy” theory/excuse.

OK, I have given you 2 things she has accomplished. I don’t really want to give her any credit for Chelsea, however, since that is a worthless waste of our time. She is just a spoiled brat, IMHO.
