Hillary Clinton remains popular for her time as secretary of state, viewed apart from Obama
Washington Post ^ | June 8, 2014 | By David Nakamura and Scott Clement

Hillary Rodham Clinton retains broad public support for her performance as secretary of state, a sign that President Obama’s struggles abroad and Republican attacks over Benghazi have not been a major drag on her reputation.

“More people blame the White House than they blame the secretary of state, and that strikes me as quite appropriate,” said Kori Schake, a former State Department official during the George W. Bush administration. The public “admires Secretary Clinton’s toughness and how much she got out there and tried to do stuff.”

With many of the Obama administration’s foreign policy priorities still unresolved, Clinton has struggled publicly to identify her biggest accomplishment. But supporters say that it is unfair given her role as part of Obama’s “team of rivals” in the first term.

Oh, PUH-LEEZE!

I’ve been sick and disgusted with that little beotch since the Watergate scandal! I have MORE than done my time. To think of her as my President sickens me to no end!

And, yes - I get my @ss to the polls, hold my nose and vote a party line, so y’all can’t blame ME for Mitt or Sarah losing!

Notice who I left out? LOL!

Already Hillary has begun to make subtle innuendoes blaming Obama for the many foreign policy disasters of his administration — SHE, she wants everyone to know, was an innocent bystander, simply playing the piano in the Obama whore house.

However, in order to reach the tens of millions of low-information voters necessary to win elections, Hillary will eventually have to end her subtlety and make her accusations of blame against Obama much clearer.

In which case, she will lose the all-important black vote. As the first African-American president’s term ends, probably in a complete shambles, the last thing African-Americans will want to hear is more criticism of him, especially from one of his white former employees who has turned against him for her own selfish reasons.

This is when Hillary’s inevitability will collapse, as it did in 2008. It’s almost inevitable.

People who can look at Hillary’s time as Secretary of State and think she did good are insane and too incompetent to vote. Arab Spring and the belief that Democracy would instill Western values in Islam are enough to declare Hillary and incompetent idiot. Keep saggy bags retired.

The WaPo must have gotten the latest Hillary talking point:

It's all Obama's fault!

There it was, right there in the article - “she got out there and tried to do stuff.” That’s all ya gotta do, just try to do stuff.
