Milligan: Unfair to Expect Hillary Supporters to Name Her Accomplishments As Secretary of State
Newsbusters ^ | May 20, 2015 | By Ken Shepherd

Posted on 05/21/2015 4:41:00 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

U.S. News & World Report's Susan Milligan wildly spun for Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton on the May 20 edition of Hardball when she insisted that the fact that her supporters in a recent focus-group survey by Bloomberg TV cannot name a single accomplishment of hers as Secretary of State is, well, "unfair."

Indeed, Milligan insisted, the job of Secretary of State is essentially to make sure nothing major goes wrong on his or her watch. Clearly Susan has never heard of the fiasco that is post-Qadhafi Libya or the ongoing civil war in Syria or the abject failure of the Russia "reset."

For his part, Matthews agreed with Milligan by recalling that "Obama didn't have a big accomplishment before he got elected."

Do these people ever listen to themselves?! At any rate, here's a transcript of the remarks in context:

So, let’s ask HRC herself.

Also this -

>>> “Obama didn’t have a big accomplishment before he got elected.”

That’s because Obama and these media types were too busy saying “BUUUUUUUSH!”

How’s Hillary going to use that? She can’t very well say “OOOOOOOOObama !!!” now, can she?

WTF?
What did she say?

I read that three times and still have no idea what her accomplishments are...

If she can't name any, how can anyone else, sympathetic or not, do so?

Roger Mudd asked The Swimmer, Ted Kennedy, why he wanted to be president.

Kennedy couldn't give a straight and coherent answer.

Roger Mudd got passed over as Cronkite's replacement.

If you're interviewing some one to fill a position, "So, what were your major accomplishments in previous jobs" isn't an outside of the box question, except when it comes to people whose abysmal failures are considered resume enhancement in the DNC world.

The old sea-hag managed to screw that up too.

Ted Kennedy (and Hillary here) probably thought ‘well, I am entitled to it. shouldn’t that be enough of a reason?’

Does getting dressed by yourself count as an accomplishment?

I agree, more double standard sexism against Hillary, err Madam President.

More of the ‘War on women’

Accomplishments?? Totally irrelevant, she is experienced and strong. A strong woman. That's all that counts.
We cant afford anything else now in this dangerous world.

If she publicly crowed about getting away with the murder of Vince Foster
that would probably negate it as an accomplishment.

The panel openly sides with terrorists, and against western civilization.

MATTHEWS: I wish she hadn't left it to John Kerry to stand up to Netanyahu, though.

MILLIGAN: Yeah.

MATTHEWS: A little tougher on him would have been good for the country.

She got a bunch of people killed. That's a major accomplishment. That's also why she's known as Killary.
