At Iowa Event, Clinton Vows Pre-Inauguration Diplomatic Push
By Anne E. Kornblut and Dan Balz Washington Post Staff Writers Monday, September 17, 2007; A02
INDIANOLA, Iowa, Sept. 16 -- Appearing Sunday at a mini-Democratic convention of sorts in a field, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton declared that if she is elected she will not wait until her inauguration to begin acting as president.
Clinton said that, the day after winning election, she would select envoys to "travel around the world with a very simple message: The era of cowboy diplomacy is over."
"America is back," she said.
Six of the Democratic candidates were on hand for the legendary steak fry hosted each year by Sen. Tom Harkin, an event that has become a testing ground for emerging stars and well-known contenders alike. It was here a year ago that Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.), then just contemplating a presidential bid, drew large crowds and began seriously thinking about running.
On Sunday, Obama made a robust case for his candidacy, with a focus on health care, one day before Clinton is scheduled to roll out her long-anticipated plan for universal health care in a speech in Des Moines.
"If we don't change our politics, then we are not going to be able to bring about the kind of change that's absolutely necessary," Obama told the crowd of families, party activists and curiosity-seekers.
"You think about it -- we've been debating the idea of universal health care for decades now, through Democratic and Republican administrations," Obama said, a reminder of the failed attempt by Clinton in the 1990s to steer her husband's health-care policy. "We have not made it happen."

It’s cowboy diplomacy without the boy.
Here’s the job description for Hillary’s foreign envoys:
1) Ability to bend over and spread em
2) Must enjoy the taste of boot polish
She’s already looking at new drapes for the oval office. What are WE going to do to stop her?

She need look no farther than her own living room. The ones she stole are hanging there.

It’s the “Wussification” of America for sure. That all that B.S. was gone after the Carter years. But nooooooooooo. It came back with Bill C and was proven to be a failure as ideas go. But nooooooooooooo.
Come on everybody....sing DAMN YOU!
Kumbiya my Lord, Kumbiya

And as for not waiting for her elected term to begin; before she starts acting as President. . .good clue as to how she will respond when term is over. . .it just may never be; until her last breath is drawn. She could make it happen.
Personally, am tired of Newt hyping the probabilities of Hillary winning. . .if he is going to 'go there' why not speculate on the rest of the probabilities that might unfold in a 'President Hillary' Presidency. . .
Why not remind the world at every opportunity what Clinton, Inc. really means.
The lust for power could not be more clear. . .
Can’t top that.
You’re living up to your screen name rather well :-)
I take it Hillary is the horse?
Does anyone really believe that Hillary would be a pacifist as President if (Dear God forbid) she is actually elected?
In a pig’s eye she would be!
That woman is flat out crazy! Give her national command authority and the first foreign leader who looked at her cross-eyed would be staring at a regiment of Marines.
If there ever was a person who was too dangerous to have near the button it’s her. You can see it in her eyes. Not only would she nuke anyone she dislikes — and she dislikes a LOT of people, she would get off on it.
That's what I want to know. At first, it was as if he was Clark Kent, reporting for the Daily Planet about the deadly threat to Metropolis, and then excusing himself to duck into a phone booth to emerge as Superman, being the only one who could save us. But Newt's not even looking for a phone booth; it seems more like he's trying to stake out a better location to watch the devastation.
Meantime; Hillary probably would 'fire' her Secret Service protectors; and hire OJ and friends for her personal escort and protection.
For the same reason they hate 'Mom. . .and apple pie'.
Wonder how they feel about Jack Bauer; and his kind of diplomacy. . .
Interesting that she’s pushing this line just as France, Germany et al appear to have bought into the effectiveness of “Peace Through Strength”. In recent weeks we’ve all been shocked at the “sabre rattling” directed at Iran. They’ve apparently recognized reality: their Kumbaya diplomacy wasn’t going to work with the mad mullahs.
Of course, we have to presume this is all preening and they hope they’ll never have to use those swords (they won’t, they’ll have us do it for them).
But it’s still amazing to see Hillary still pushing the “Can’t we all just get along” line when even France and Germany have recognized the fecklessness (and danger) of that approach.
