Is Clinton an Invisible Woman in Washington?
/Reuters-Newsis
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is a star who is given almost the same treatment as heads of state when she travels abroad, but the former first lady, senator and President Barack Obama's greatest rival during the race to the White House, Clinton is now reportedly being sidelined in Washington.
There are rumors that she wields even less influence at home than her predecessors Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell. Washington Post columnist Jim Hoagland wrote on July 15, "It's President Obama's inner circle, advisers such as chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and senior adviser David Axelrod, who are controlling the president's foreign policy message" rather than Clinton. Tina Brown in the online "Daily Beast" described the former New York senator as the "invisible woman at State" and said, "It's time for Barack Obama to let Clinton take off her burqa," giving her some room to perform.
National Security Advisor James Jones, meanwhile, is consolidating his influence. And even Vice President Joe Biden, who some feared might fade in to the background given the number of security and diplomatic heavyweights in the White House, is playing a key role in Iraq policies, AP reports.

If only. On second thought.....it doesn't matter. You could still hear her.
Now ask that question again....
Until she turns sideways.
The axiom of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" has never been more aptly demonstrated.
Is she scheduled to work on a road crew as part of some community service I haven't heard about?
“Is Clinton an Invisible Woman in Washington?”
What?? With those thighs? How could you possibly be invisible with those? Even if she were invisible, you could smell her coming. With those thighs rubbing together when she walks, it’s gotta smell like frying bacon.
The Sociopath of State never had any influence at home. Witness her POS husband. Barack is also using her as a doormat. The job pantsuits her well.
Hillary is stupid for accepting that position. Obama is sending his special teams in and sending Hillary on a tour around the world that is meaningless.
Meanwhile, people are forgetting about her and she is shoved to the sidelines. She doesn’t even have a voice in the Senate and Obama is now her BOSS.
Wonder how many ashtray duckers are snickering at watching karma.
I must agree.
She is visible to the N. Koreans, who offer their most recent critique of her as Sec. of State:
“Sometimes she looks like a primary schoolgirl and sometimes a pensioner going shopping,”
Hillary may be Obama’s undoing.
I could see her resigning before his first term is up.
She wouldn’t have to say a word, and the tongues would be wagging about how she wanted to distance herself from his failures.
You would have to ask Huma about that.
:) Thanks for the reminder. I’d forgotten about her little friend.
Just from watching the news and the issues and people, she seems like the most invisible Secretary of State that I can remember. She’s just never in the news.
