HOLD ON NOW, a sitting SecState needs to be careful about what is said. It does the Country no good for her to posture our Foreign Policy as being in trouble if Obama is elected - that would only serve the party. Let's not let the MSM take us down that rabbit hole.

I agree that the Sec State must be VERY careful about what she says about an upcoming election. If she comes out and says we are in mortal danger if Obama is elected, what signal does that send to our enemies if it comes to pass? Mis-statements by diplomats have a way of becoming self-fulfilling prophecies.

On the other hand, knowing this full well, I would have preferred that she say nothing at all on this subject.

And she just said the U.S. will be safe. That’s not an endorsement of Obama. I took it as an endorsement of our security policies.

You said that exactly right. She was asked point-blank. She answered. I don’t know how else she could’ve answered such a leading question.
