No historian will ever confuse her, as Secretary of State, with Thomas Jefferson, George Marshall, Henry Kissinger or George Shultz.
Eventually, they will surely put her in the Madeleine Halfbright league.
My only comment is:
No one should use the word “shakes” in the same sentence as “Hillary”
Hillary is loyal to get the White House. She drinks because in her heart she is not sure they will ever give it to her. Hillary’s soul is owned by her masters.
She is a boob and rides on the coattails of every man she has come in contact with while pretending to be the greatest woman on earth which, of course, is a crock.
Allow me to be the first to say BULL SH!T!!!
I second that, fear is a form of respect and no one respects Obama.
No historian will ever confuse her, as Secretary of State, with Thomas Jefferson, George Marshall, Henry Kissinger or George Shultz.Since most historians are liberal, I expect Ms. Clinton to eventually be elevated above all those misogynist white men.
“Great shakes?” We don’t call Hillary The Hildebeast for nothing!
With that thought, I think I’ll order a Bob’s Big Boy banana milk shake served with whipped topping and a maraschino cherry. Mmmmmmm! Just right for Superbowl Sunday!
It's hard to know whether Clinton would have acted differently if President Obama had, in the manner of Richard M. Nixon, anointed her as his Henry Kissinger. But that was never in the cards. Instead, Clinton appeared to endorse Obama's view of America's more limited role in an age of austerity, defined by other rising global powers. As a loyal soldier, she used her stellar political skills to strengthen old alliances in Europe and promote new ones in Asia as part of a "pivot" in that direction. She mended diplomatic fences and conducted negotiations, notably on Iran sanctions. But she has no major foreign policy success she can call her own. Initially, Clinton did try to carve out a greater role by appointing three "special envoys," loyal to her, as policy overlords on key issues. Richard Holbrooke got the AfPak brief, George Mitchell the Arab-Palestinian issue, and Dennis Ross, Iran. But Holbrooke's mercurial personality so alienated Afghan and Pakistani leaders that the White House finally cut him out of the process, while Mitchell failed to make any headway and resigned. Ross, sensing where power lay, left the State Department and moved to the White House.IOW, her three key people either bailed, or sucked, or both, and she had no successes at all, because Zero's only ongoing work that makes any sense is the all-talk hands-off approach to the mess in Syria, and we haven't seen the denouement of that one.
Amazing isn’t it that in a little more than 5 years the US has gone from “projecting overwhelming force anywhere in the world” to hiding behind “smart power”.
Pretty much sums up her legal/public life since the Watergate hearings.
