TakeYouToTasker Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 If that was a B word slapping, then I'm curious what SoS Clinton looking incompetent would have looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) A pathetic excuse for what should be a respected position of power in the US government. She is an artful dodger if nothing else, capable of wielding all the usual political tactics from "outrage" to tears. She won't be the next President because we aren't that stupid; after all, we didn't re-elect Obama did we....Oh, wait a minute....

Bigfatbillsfan Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 http://www.washingto...55e7_print.html ladies and gentlemen; the next president of the united states. Â I don't think that sounds so much like a B word slapping as much as it does a deflection of the question. The fact of the matter is that the administration screwed up. Plain and simple. Then afterwards they tried to cover it up. I have a hard time that Clinton didn't know the correct story of what was going on at the time the American people were fed the story of the protest.

Â Fear not, had it been a republican being grilled by a Democratic congress, Birdog would quickly have reversed the roles. Such is the M.O. for the dogmatic republican/democrat fan boys.

Â Hey, I'm not saying she's a bad SoS. I think she's done a great job. I feel like the current admin. Has been one of the best in recent memory when it comes to foreign policy.

dayman Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Really nothing of note from that questioning. If anything a minority of Republicans revealed their fake outrage by the terrible line of questioning. More interested in grand standing than learning something new or else they would have had better questions. Rand Paul took the cake with his comment and immediate email to his constituents containing the video of it. Â Either way though, the hearing really were just about as anticlimactic as anyone with a brain knew they would be. The thing happened. It was bad. HIllary was SoS when it happened.

Â Â if youve ever wondered why no one wants to reach across the aisle on any issue ever.... its because people already start saving their quotes to use against them (or their party) at a later date if they praise anyone with a different letter next to their name.

Magox Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Obama would much rather have Biden be the next president. Despite what you heard on the campaign trail, Obama feels that Clinton was not the right kind of democrat when he was in office. He is basically trying to undo many of Clinton's initiatives and is wary of Hillary moving more to the center. He knows that Biden will be the person he needs to continue on whatever progressive social justice policies that he began. But it doesn't matter, if Hillary runs, she steam rolls Biden, even though I fully expect Biden to get heavy African American support, because of the loyalty they will feel for the person who was Obama's "right hand" man.
