HRC: "President Obama won the election."

How sweet is it to see Hillary Clinton of all people smack down the idiot Republicans who do nothing but criticize our president?

I wonder what you mean by, "of all people," though. She's been a bare-knuckle brawler her entire political career.

I just find it funny to see her defending Obama on something she once attacked him over (his proposal to meet with rogue leaders). And I like how she handled that, by acknowledging that she had espoused a different view in the primaries but he beat her, so he has a mandate to do it his way.

It was about meeting with them without preconditions.

:thumbsup:

the video gave me chills and I got all verklempt. I think it especially means more to those who lived through every last primary battle and everyday of the General.

And, I know you were there.:)

In retrospect, we had such gold in our party we never completely appreciated at the time.

You know, I voted for Hillary on Super Tuesday because Edwards had dropped out and my husband was SUCH a strong supporter of HRC I had to respect it. This enormous regard for her has been totally vindicated by the way she is performing on the world stage. Pence and the other repubs look like such little pishers compared to her with her stature an Obama with his.

We are truly blessed by having leaders such as these...

The primary season showed that and the debates must have scared the shit out of the Republicans.

But what we are seeing now fills me with pure joy...

It was great.

I was a nervous wreck for most of the campaign. I'm so glad I got the hell out of the US and went to Spain for a couple of weeks before the election...did me a lot of good...LOL...

On the long flight back to NYC from Madrid I met a couple from Berkely CA. He had just retired from the U of CA system and had been glued to his computer constantly, checking the polls obsessively, every day at dawn. His wife told me she said "Enough! We're going to Spain!" and booked the trip and off they went. We laughed and talked politics all the way to New York. It was fun. I kept thinking "We liberals seem to be all alike on this polling thing!" I mean, every liberal in my family and my friends were the same...

She fully respects the democratic process which put Obama as the candidate and ultimately the President. She serves President Obama as she should.
One class act.

She did a MAJOR smack down on his ass !

his expression at the end said it all! ha! :) oh, and Hillary ROCKS!

she looks great... and is doing fantastic job.

Oh, what could have been...

tough shit.

shit.

Police.

:)

Not to be confused with forced feces. That contributes to hemrhoids, however the hell it's spelled.

It may still be........

Who can predict the future?

;-)

What a gutsy thing to say. Wow. Just wow.

Pence looked unwell after HRC got thru with him...

The Secretary of State of the United States just showed him up to be an ignorant,
Foxese-spouting buffoon on national television. If "unwell" is all he was, he came
out of the encounter close to unscathed.

Surprised to hear her say it...very impressive.

The only thing better would have been to remind Mike Pence that Obama won HIS STATE.

:rofl:

:thumbsup: to Secretary Clinton!!

if she had said very nicely but firmly "And he won your state of Indiana, long a traditionally Republican state, in the last election." Pence might have fainted at that point...

before you ask a stupid question.

Whew. Very refreshing. Thanks.

PWNED!!!!

She saw this same shit done against Bubba and will clobber anyone doing it to 'Bam.

:kick:

Hillary's right: no isolation, which is their way of doing things.

It is clear that diplomacy is her calling.

GO HILL!!!!

It was a bit of an out of the box pick but I was confident she would be a good choice. She's actually exceeded my own expectations.

Make those little GOP cockroaches scurry, Madame Secretary....they are f*cking with the WRONG person....

her or President Obama were my first pick. Was ecstatic to have a first woman President in the US. Go SOS Hillary, you make the world proud of you.

:woohoo:

primary.

fucking repukes...

Virulent, arguably - Chavez is a very nasty piece of work. The number of DUers who don't recognise that worries me.
Anti-American, arguably - it's not yet clear whether he was just anti-Bush or not.
Socialist, yes, obviously.

Autocrat, sure - Chavez's commitment to democracy is clearly only skin deep.

But there's no way Chavez can be classed as a dictator.

... the Repugs needed to be reminded of the pesky little fact that OBAMA WON THE ELECTION!!!

(excuse the shouting)

it helps that she is SoS in "interesting times", but she is so active and so high profile, it's quite astounding.
Furthermore, the Prez seems more than comfortable letting her a lot of freedom to operate. It is a well balanced partnership and one I did not foresee.

Kudo's, Hilary. Go make some history.

I think the days of the "powerful Secretaries of State" of old are over. I doubt Hillary will be as powerful as Henry Kissinger or James
Baker in shaping American foreign policy because President Obama has made it clear that "the buck stops with him" and there are
special envoys to do the heavy lifting in global hotspots.

I'm sure Hillary has some input, as all Cabinet officials do, but there's no doubt who's directing the foreign policy of this nation via
the Obama Doctrine. Sure, she has been "active" but she hasn't been "high-profile". Yes, she accompanied the president to the
G20 and the Summit of the Americas but she hasn't made much news beyond her appearance on Capitol Hill the other day and
even that wasn't all-day MSM gabfest (which is the way it should be). Condi Rice got similar media treatment during her early
days because she was also considered a bit of a "rock-star" at the time, being the first black woman to be SoS but that too
turned out to be a poor barometer of how "powerful" she was.

but I can't really debate your points, as they are mostly opinions and impressions, as were my own.

fair enough.
