Oliver North: Hillary Clinton 'Just Wrote Off Being President of the United States ...'
Fox News ^ | 12/4 | Greta Van Sustern

Posted on 12/05/2014 10:35:07 AM PST by TangledUpInBlue

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Listen to this. Former secretary of state and potential presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, speaking at a foreign policy conference and saying this:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

HILLARY CLINTON, FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE: This is what we call smart power, using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security, leaving no one on the sidelines, showing respect even for one's enemies, trying to understand and, insofar as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view, helping to define the problems to determine the solution. That is what we believe, in the 21st century, will change, change the prospects for peace.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VAN SUSTEREN: Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North joins us.

Just to back up a little bit, she was making a reference to a dispute that two women settled in the Philippines that's been going on for a number of years. Nonetheless, that's what she said.

LT. COL. OLIVER NORTH, FOX HOST, WAR STORIES: Those words coming out of someone who intends to become commander-in-chief are not just naive and utopian, it's irrational. Consider, we are supposed to be using smart power. Sounds more like, to me, we have no power. And that isn't smart to say as a candidate. And I can't think of a presidential candidate who said those kinds of things.

I’m prepared to be flamed for this comment, but IMO Hillary would win over any GOP candidate in the Bush/Romney/Christie dogpile. Not that she’s any sort of candidate, but she probably has 35% guaranteed mindless support of the electorate which could be ramped up with the total media obsequiousness that would cover her and against the aforementioned gaggle of losers, I think she would take it.

Oliver North underestimates the stupidity of the American voters.

Jonathan Gruber said if best, and that is that, democrats count on the stupidity of Americans to get their programs passed. Stupidity along with a lack of transparency. Telling the truth doesn't count when people aren't listening.

I wrote this regarding Kerry on an earlier thread, but....

The State Dept. is in need of a top to bottom purge.

From incompetence to old fashioned treasonous spies, it has long been infested with those working against America’s interest.

Their unwritten mission has long been to undermine our military at every turn.

All that report has told me is that Oliver North thinks Hillary is an idiot.

We all agree on that. No surprises there.

America elected Obama - what possible effect could these comments from Hillary have on her chances to be President?

No risk of flames here. That’s just rational opinion. Fact is, for anyone from the GOP to win, it’s going to be very, very hard just because of the way the electoral math breaks down.

The GOP will have to flip a few states, or run the table of ALL toss up states (7, 8, or 9 of them as it were) to get to 270. One slip up and the Dems will win something like 272 to 266.

To paraphrase Groucho Marx, when cross examining Chico in "Duck Soup" - He might talk like an idiot and look like an idiot, but don't let that fool you ladies and gentlemen of the jury. He really IS an idiot!"

Agreed. The nonsense spewed by Hillary on this matter will be eaten up by the Lowinfos.

They LIKE to hear this sort of thing.

It sounds just like Obama, and he is twice elected. In a sane world this would be treated as nonsense and not some a viable approach.

Hey, Hillary. I challenge you to stand on the top of the North Tower of the World Trade Center on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, while you watch a jetliner heading straight for your building, and “empathize” with whoever is commanding that plane.

Her hubby had two teenagers tied up on some railroad tracks and run over because they stumbled upon a drug haul one night, in Arkansas.
Yep.

Not worthy? Here's all the reasons why no one can stand Hillary, a little profane but its the truth.

The truth hurts:

Can't stand the way you look
Can't stand the way you talk
Can't stand the way you act
Can't stand you

Do I think you're a dick? Yeah
Do I think you're a f*ck? Yeah
Do I think we'll fight? Yeah
Do I think you'll win? No
Do I think you're stupid? Yeah
Do I think you're lame? Yeah
Am I stressing? You're the one to blame

Can't stand the way you look
Can't stand the way you talk
Can't stand the way you act
Can't stand you

Do I think you're a sh*t? Yeah
Do I think you're a f*ck? Yeah
Do I think we'll fight? Yeah
Do I think you'll win? No
Do I think you're stupid? Yeah
Do I think you're lame?
Am I stressing? You're the one to blame

I open my mouth
At the wrong time
Always ranking on somebody
I'm drunk all the time

Throwing beer bottles
And spitting in your face
Checking through the purse
Of the sl*t in our place

She'll never notice
If her money is gone
P*ss in her jacket
And just send her along

Can't stand the way you look
Can't stand the way you talk
Can't stand the way you act
Can't stand you

Do I think you're a sh*t? Yeah
Do I think you're a f*ck? Yeah
Do I think we'll fight? Yeah
Do I think you'll win? No
Do I think you're stupid? Yeah
Do I think you're lame?
Am I stressing? You're the one to blame

It’s a play to the useful idiots in the Dem base. And after getting her not unsubstantial butt handed to her by an upstart first term Senator in 2008, it’s all about that base ...

My guess is that if she becomes President, it will be to implement a strictly defined agenda - and she will be able to make exactly zero moves on her own.

My guess is that if Jeb Bush becomes President, it will be to implement a strictly defined agenda - and he will be able to make exactly zero moves on his own.

My guess is that those are the only two options we serfs are being offered for 2016.
