Madam Secretary sends her regrets.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton got a pass last week from President Obama to skip Wednesday night's State of the Union speech. (We had heard she begged to be excused, but apparently it didn't come to that.)
Seems there's an important international meeting Wednesday in London on battling radicalization in Yemen, and then another, long-planned conference there Thursday on development and security in Afghanistan.
But London does not qualify as an "undisclosed location." So this means there will be two Cabinet officers not attending the speech: Clinton and the designated holdback in case of terrorist attack. (Or in case everyone falls asleep at the same time.)

Comrade Brother Barack Hussein Obama is proving to be DAMAGED political goods, an "albuttross" around the necks of the Democratic party even to the Democratic party. Comrade Brother Obama is like dogfood that the dogs will not eat
(Witness the landmark MassaTAXachewsetts victory for Sen. elect Brown).
The People will flush the Democrats down the commode as long as they follow Comrade Brother's "hope and change" song and dance routine while unemployment is running around 10% and HIGHER!
However, the Democrats will not continue to blindly and mindlessly follow the foolish Comrade Brother Barrack Obama's "Hope and Change" footsteps and will pull the rug out from under Comrade Brother like rats on a sinking ship.
FREEPER BEWARE: DANGER AHEAD!
The Witch will want to come out and play. Lady MacBeth is ambitious. The Witch is biding her time, minding her P's and Q's, wearing her halo. (Yeah, I know it makes you want to PuKe!).
She will come out from under the rock where she has been hiding! The Witch, Lady MacBeth will ride her white horse (instead of her broom) in the "noble mission" to rescue the Democrat party, for the "good" of the party. The Witch is so altruistic, unselfish and noble! (EXTREME HEAVY SARCASM).
The Witch will throw her "noble" broom into the political ring in 2012.
The political dynamics are that the mainstream media will feel angst for helping elect Comrade Brother Obama.
NEVER, EVER underestimate the power of the angst infected liberal media-idiots,
REMEMBER The media-idiots helped elect Comrade Brother in 2008! Since the media helped elect Comrade Brother Obama in 2008, they will feel guilty (angst and guilt ridden media-idiots) for slighting or holding back the Witch in favor of Comrade Brother Barack Hussein Obama (a black male is annointed, appointed and advanced above a white woman because of the perceived "injustices of the past" analogously a black woman would be advanced above a black male according to the principles of media-idiotic political correctness), so the media will pave the way for the Witch to win the Democrat nomination in 2012, since Comrade Brother Obama is proving to be damaged political goods i.e. an albuttross around the neck of the Democratic party.
THIS IS THE SEASON OF THE WITCH 2012!
When I look out my window
Many sites to see
When I look in my window
So many different people to be
It's strange
So very strange
You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch
Must be the season
The season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
What do you think I see
Some other cat looking over
His shoulder right at me
Beatniks are out to make it rich
Oh, no
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
When I look out my window
So many sites to see
When I look into my window
So many different people to be
You got to pick up every stitch
Rabbit's runnin' in the ditch
Beatniks are out to make it rich
Oh, no
Oh, no
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
The witch signed that UN Small Arms Treaty.I bet she gets a lot of gun owner votes. A TRUE *itch
Already they are starting to put distance between themselves and Obama.
Next they will be air-brushing him out of pictures.
That didn’t take long!
The reason for not having one cabinet member present at the SOTU is in case something happens to the buildling when all the echelons of the U.S. Government are present, and they all die, there will be one member alive to be able to take over as POTUS. If I would have been Obama, I would have not felt too good about Hillary not being there. If something had happened, then she would have been higher on the food chain than the Cabinet member designated to miss the SOTU, and she would have become President.
WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is missing President Barack Obama's State of the Union address in order to attend a conference in London, but she is not the only absentee Cabinet member.
One member of the Cabinet is designated by the White House to ride out the speech in an undisclosed location as a precaution against the possibility of a catastrophe wiping out the rest of the government leadership in the Capitol during the address.
The White House did not announce in advance of the speech who would be that holdout.
When Clinton became aware that her planned trip to London — for separate conferences on Yemen and Afghanistan — would coincide with the State of the Union address, aides approached the White House about it.
"Could she be the Cabinet member who remains outside the Capitol? We were told that the `undisclosed location' must be in the United States," said State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley. So, "she is not that Cabinet member."
Obama felt it was more important for her to go to London than to remain for his speech, Crowley said.
"She asked the president directly, `What do you want me to do?' And he was very clear: These (London talks) are priorities, so your place is in London working on Yemen and Afghanistan-Pakistan," Crowley said.
In an interview, Scheduled JAN.27, 8pm on PBS's Tavis Smiley Reports, Hillary Clinton tells Smiley she does not envision serving as Secretary of State for a second term. She also tells Smiley she is "absolutely not interested" in another presidential run.
Madam is distancing herself from the Obama train wreck.
Revving up for 2012...
I was aware of the AP report prior to your post.
1. Did you honestly think that she would announce that she was running in 2012 this early in Obama's presidential term?
2. Clinton is ambitious and will definitely run in 2012 especially if she perceives Obama as history. Democrats do not know any loyalty to anything or anyone.
1,000,000 pulled in by anchor Shep, over 10M for O' Reilly? other anchors difficult to establish in multi deals; but an adequate income + for Mrs. Clinton at "that age". Plus Hillary would not have to be ducking bullets from terrorists.
[disclaimer: Have no facts, no sources, therefore not authenticated; but Dan Rather contended that he personally would continue to stand by his story [Bush's Air National Guard Service]. I will stand by my story, in and if said comment turns out to be true. I will also add a prophecy that Hillary and Rush will become confidantes. ;)
