Hillary Clinton's Unseemly Criticism of Obama



"Ain't my f*****' fault. Obama's the f*****' guy!"

(Hat tip John Speedie for audio)

Far be it from me to defend President Obama's foreign policy, especially in the Middle East, which can only be described as a catastrophe, but don't you think Hillary Clinton's comments in yet another interview-this time in The Atlantic- are a bit unseemly?

Have you forgotten that for four years, Clinton was the instrument of Obama's foreign policy? It was she who carried out those policies in the Middle East with the "able advice" of Huma Abedin and her documented ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

For four years, Clinton flew around the world visiting over one hundred countries and accomplished nothing of note. It was only in the last year when she ignored her Libyan mission in Benghazi's desperate pleas for more security, disappeared when that "3 am phone call" came in on 9-11-12 and then directed a cover-up of her own mismanagement, that she left her final indelible mark on one of the State Department's darkest chapters.

And now she is running around giving interviews to everybody in sight writing books, signing books, and refusing to disappear. And the latest chapter to this unseemly road show is now criticizing her boss's Middle East policy. This is a woman who refuses to accept any responsibility for anything.

I've been thinking that if this tone-deaf woman doesn't get off the stage for awhile, even Democrats will get sick and tired of her. With this latest outburst, hopefully more people will figure out (finally) that there is nothing honest and sincere about Hillary Clinton.

From Brett Stephens' article in todays' WSJ:
"There's something to all of these theories: The political opportunist always lacks the courage of his, or her, convictions. That's not necessarily because there aren't any convictions. It's because the convictions are always subordinated to the needs of ambition and ingratiation.

Then again, who cares who Mrs. Clinton really is? When the question needs to be asked, it means we already know, or should know, how to answer it. The truth about Mrs. Clinton isn't what's potentially at stake in the next election. It's the truth about who we are. Are we prepared to believe anything?

We tried that with Barack Obama, the man who promised to be whatever we wanted him to be. Mrs. Clinton's self-reinvention as a hawk invites us to make the mistake twice.'"

Miggie,

If the American people after 8 years of Obama turn around and elect Hillary Clinton as president, then we are lost as a nation. A certain combination of age, demographics and the souring of our culture will have wrecked this country.

Hillary Clinton has always had an inner John McCain trying to get out. If she ever becomes president, it will have a field day. That's one reason a majority of your fellow citizens preferred Barack Obama.

You and Miggie would probably like Hillary's foreign policy.

If my memory is at all accurate, I believe Hillary was raised in an essentially conservative household and was even in fact a "Goldwater Girl" in her youth. Where oh where did she go wrong??

She resigned from the Wheaton campus Young Republicans over the Vietnam War (I'm not sure if it was Nixon's war or LBJ's at the time), and then she met up with this young man named Bill Clinton, who I'm pretty sure did not attend Wheaton, and they worked together on George McGovern's campaign in 1972.

My question: after that, where, oh where, did she go wrong?

Reference: Ari Fleischer's father said if Ari wanted to rebel, becoming a Republican was better than doing drugs, but not by much.
