She has been so sidelined and marginalized that even the NYTimes and Washington Post are dissing and making fun of her on a daily basis, almost as if it is being coordinated by someone or something...

I almost pity Hillary. For years she was the heir apparent to the throne. The next President. And then some upstart Kenyan cuts in front of her. Then she make the mistake of leaving the Senate and power in her own right to become a flunky of said upstart. And it appears that Obama is having others take care of important business while she is sweating it out taking questions from students in the Congo

You have to wonder if anyone, including the Clintons, actually expected Obama to turn State over to her to run and treat her as a peer. Lets just hope this turns to a nice internal bloodbath before the next election, there are still a lot of Hillary supporters out there thinking “we wuz robbed” ever time they see Obama.

I can't think of a person more worthy of “marginalization” than Her Thighness, the PIAPS, Hillary “The Rod” Clinton.

Well, except for her loyal husband Bubba “Big Cigar” Clintoon.

If only the TOTUS, The Won, Ozero, ObaMao, Obambi, ObammyWhammy and his lovely, sweet, loving wife, The Bell From Hell, Michelle were also “marginalized” also along with Pelosi, Reid, Sotomayor, Schumer, Boxer, Leahey, Sanders,Conyers and a hundred other commie/socialist traitors in the government, media, universities, entertainment and culture, etc.,.......

But don't get me started,....

Personally, I don’t blame her for being pissed. She had no way of knowing the interpreter screwed up. She was asked a question that was, in reality, an insult. I am NO Hillary fan either.

they’ve been doing that since the primaries. I don’t think that’s the case. I think the media turned on her in the primaries.

I agree however she’s the main diplomat and that wasn’t very diplomatic. You have to maintain a better profile than that. Even if you are asked an insulting question, you must remain dignified. She represents the country in that setting. There’s no excusing her answer no matter how insulted she was.

Yeah that was my thought as well. If Conservatives can take back some ground in 2010, she may panic and leave the sinking ship. That will rekindle the animosity, as she’ll be calling 0 a failure and he’ll be calling her a traitor.

I see your point. But I think it has gotten much, much worse in the last six months. Today the Wash Post even had a cartoon ridiculing her in hits cartoon roundup.

She was marginalized on her “wedding” night.

And, probably only a few times times there after.

It’s possible. I confess that I don’t spend that much time reading stories about Hillary Clinton. This really isn’t about her. If Obama did all of this to marginalize her, that is a very dangerous thing to do.

I’m not following it that closely; but, what is senator webb doing in Burma? Shoudn’t that mission involve the SofS as well?

That's kind of what it boils down to. Hillary! would have been a better President than this Soetoro dude - so many people hate her that she wouldn't have had much chance to do damage to the nation during her "honeymoon" first 100 days. That's still no excuse for her rudeness (and probably not the kind of praise she would appreciate).

Not following either. Just happened to see a piece recently mentioning a number of foreign affairs that O has others taking care of rather than the dear Mrs. H.
I think Hillary has been had. The last thing that she needed was that question. Which as you probably heard was mistranslated. Questioner wanted to know Mr. Obama’s opinion not Mr. Clinton’s.
Her overreaction is indicative that she does not have temperament to represent U.S.
