Jet-setting Hillary Clinton breaks travel record
Associated Press ^ | July 17, 2012

If diplomatic achievements were measured by the number of countries visited, Hillary Rodham Clinton would be the most accomplished U.S. secretary of state in history.

When her plane touched down at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington on Tuesday morning, the former first lady and America's top diplomat completed an epic 13-day journey of 27,000 miles -- about 2,000 miles more than the circumference of the Earth -- through and over Europe to Asia and then doubling back to the Middle East.

They are not. HC has conducted the most inept foreign policy by any administration in my lifetime

The chick has been on a 3 1/2 year vacation on the taxpayers dime. The world is still burning and the State Department's IQ dropped even further; the taxpayers got "royally" ripped offed.

That old woman is going to get inner ear problems up there, and then who will take care of Bill when the dementia gets out of control?

Evita sees the “O” administration for the toxic trainwreck that it is, and she doesn’t want to be anywhere NEAR him or his creatures.

She will stay as far away as possible and for as long as possible... until he’s gone or re-elected.

In any case, she will avoid like poison any direct association with him and his monkeyshines.

Maybe she sees the possiblilty of re-appearing on the American political scene as the ‘voice of moderation’, who knew??!!

” And our foreign policy still sucks. “

We think alike.

... and this woman has aspirations of one day being our leader ?

Billy Jeff will be glad to chip in for the jet fuel to keep her flying. He’ll even go out to campaign for The First Dictator if Hill can keep her job.

When you are a world power, you send your buffoon out to the rest of the world.

You don’t waste your best.

She is probably arm-twisting the leaders of third world countries into supporting her cronies.

This is the most accurate description of HC’s ‘accomplishments’. In actuality, for her agreeing to keep her yap shut about Obama’s crimes, she was rewarded with a 4 year, all-expense-paid vacation around the world and Obama was rewarded with her absence.
