[For those only interested in watching the video of Secretary Clinton in the Congo yesterday - scroll down - it's provided in the correct context.
For those actually interested in knowing who the "real" Hillary Clinton is read on. It is a long post and yet documents only a fraction of her singular accomplishments and how she has been treated despite - and because - of them. I apologize for the areas that are rantish.]
Disclaimer: I did not vote for Hillary Clinton – nor anyone else.
I am a woman and I have had enough.
Personal views not associated with this site.
Instead of laughing you might want to consider what Secretary Clinton is actually doing. She is not “jealous” because of her husband’s “shadow looming over her” and she is not exhibiting “purple rage” because she was wearing a lilac-colored pantsuit. She is in Africa on a very serious mission and the first question she got in Kenya was about Mr Bill. And it hasn’t stopped. And the media has done nothing to discourage it. She doesn’t want to discuss a humanitarian mission that had nothing to do with “barry’s” foreign policy.
You know the One who rides around in Air Force 1 that has already cost your great-grandchildren millions of dollars (approx $1500/minute) – the One who walks into townhalls where no one asks him anything or holds him accountable – the One who is off to sightsee with his family in Yellowstone and Grand Canyon then on to Martha’s Vineyard for a “vacation”.
And his Secretary of State, who is actually doing something, gets trashed because she’s traveling in a war zone and thinking about the young girls and women who have been gang-raped day after day and what she can say to make it better. The last thing she wants to talk about is her hero for a day husband, who’s partying in Vegas celebrating his birthday.
Do you think her “shrillness” would disappear if she was sightseeing and vacationing in Martha’s Vineyard?
The bottom line is that she acted poorly as OUR secretary of state. She has embarrassed everyone in our country.
Embarrassed?
Secy Clinton has logged almost 100,000 miles doing barry’s bidding, while The Leader of the Free World genuflected like a servant to a beast that sanctions the mistreatment of women and girls.
Secy Clinton is not traveling to the Arab world and apologizing, while declaring that “we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation” and that we are in fact “one of the largest Muslim country in the world”.
Secretary Clinton is not going to the Caribbean and laughing about a 50 minute anti-American tirade and being filmed, smiling with a Communist tyrant, who called her a “poor ignoramus who should read and study a little to understand reality” and called President Bush the devil.
And First Lady Hillary Clinton most definitely did not wear a short-sleeved sweater to greet the Queen or rub her back back like a peasant (Queen’s how dare you look 0:35) and then shove Prince Philip out of the way during a photo op or send out an official White House photo with just the profile of the Prime Minster of England’s wife’s face or give out thoughtless plastic toys to his children – not to mention the available in airport gift shops everywhere Blockbuster DVDs that do not work in the UK. This after barry was too tired to give PM Brown a proper welcome and returned Winston Churchill’s bust, which was given to President Bush as a concrete gesture of solidarity after 9-11. But barry’s aides assured our once allies that the “Queen won’t be getting any DVDs”. And, by golly, she didn’t. She got an iPod filled with barry’s speeches.
Robert Gibbs WH Spokesman during press briefing:
It’s the President’s birthday, and Chuck E. Cheese was booked.
The President of the United States is not even qualified to do Secy Clinton’s job. If she were President (and if she were a man she would be), she would have had a hard time finding him a spot in the Cabinet, especially since he paid his taxes. And what exactly had he done prior to his tour of the cosmos when he refused to go visit injured and maimed American servicemembers because there would be no photo op?
He spent 33 days overseas, precisely one evening in Europe, toured his “homeland” on the taxpayer’s dollar (the most money spent by a freshman senator) and refused to go to Pakistan and Afghanistan (you know the reason for him speaking out in that without consequences speech) and instead met with the owner of Al-Jazeera and Palestinian students and businessmen.
And then Sen Clinton?
Had been to two more continents and approximately 60 more countries than him, having met with both Heads of State and oppressed women and children. She was already familiar with the customs and protocol in over 80 countries, not only as a powerful politician, but, more importantly, as a woman.
And the President of the United States on his maiden voyage?
Made gaffe after gaffe and refused to call on non-American press and when a Chinese journalist called him on it, he called them “foreigners“, made them jump up and down like first graders needing to go potty while he selected a sufficiently “foreign looking”one – he didn’t want to be accused of sexism - and then proceeded to ridicule her for having pride in her Prime Minister.
Mind you, this was not in the Congo, and it wasn’t a college student’s question lost in translation. It was an English speaking Indian reporter, whom he completely embarrassed in front of her entire nation with the entire world press in attendance at the G 20 summit in England.
How many folks have seen that footage?
And what is the present day First Lady doing?
Planting a garden, having clearly never used a spade shovel, in a thousand dollar outfit, in soil contaminated with lead, vacationing in Paris on your grandchildren’s Secret Service dime, and allowing herself to be intentionally kept out Muslim countries.
Why?
Because barry doesn’t want to offend the Arab World as in “we are not at war with Islam” who live by Sharia law. You know the “Holy Law” of Islam that sanctions genital mutilation and “marriages” of girls Malia and Sasha’s age.
Female genital mutilation: “Circumcision is obligatory…for both men and women.” (‘Umdat al-Salik e4.3)
The law that sanctions the starving (refuses husband’s sexual “needs”), slapping (paying too much for the shrouds they have to wear), disfiguring with acid (women wanting a divorce from the man they were sold to or little girls wanting to be educated), poisoning, “marital rape” and “honor” killing of their wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, nieces and cousins via stabbing, beheading, beating with a chain, burying them alive or just stoning them to death in the middle of the street as men capture it on cellphone video.
Honor killing: “Retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (‘Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2.)
In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law.
And this “Holy law” allows a cousin to rape his female cousin with impunity and then allows her brother to stab her to death because he is embarrassed by the “dishonor” she brought on the family.
Yes, the “most modern First Lady” and “paragon of American motherhood” and “fashion trendsetter” is willingly allowing herself to be kept out of those countries where her husband, whose middle name is suddenly in vogue and no longer racist, is being hailed as the First Muslim President! of the United States!
The woman who has “made military families her priority” is photo op feeding the homeless in $540 designer sneakers as those selfless families – some barely surviving – lose their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters in Afghanistan and Iraq while fighting to free those women from that law. And the First Lady, who is a “stunning example of powerful women” is refusing to go and speak on their behalf because she prefers to be subjugated to her husband.
Sharia law, American style.
And the First Lady’s rhetoric was very different on the campaign trail when she said “for the first time in my adult lifetime I am really proud of my country,” later adding that she traveled with her husband in part “to model what it means to have family values,” and that “if you can’t run your own house, you can’t run the White House.” But she had no problem after the nomination asking the former First Lady for advice (which was freely given) and then gushed on Larry King how wonderful Hillary was being!!!
She’s phenomenal…she’s always been cordial and open….She’s been giving me advice about my kids.
She’s been amazing.
She’s a real pro and a woman of character.
And the “Hillary” who was intent on “sabotaging” barry ?
She’s been campaigning, she’s been raising money, she’s been working on her donors. She’s been in swing states.
And how was Sen Clinton rewarded?
Mrs Obama’s husband forgot to tell his donors to donate, then told them they didn’t have to donate, then told her donors he was only interested in their Rolodex and then let his opponent, who received the same amount of votes, who campaigned for him before he was coronated and whose voters won him the presidency, enter office owing $6M after taking a personal loss of $13M.
And the other half of the racist Clintons barry was too busy to call?
[Hillary] and Bill Clinton have been working hard to make sure Barack is the next president of the United States.
And why were there plenty of polls and interviews of racist white folks who wouldn’t vote for a black president – who actually has as much European DNA as he has African – and no polls and/or interviews with black folks who would never vote for a woman? And those Appalachian hillbillies and bitter bowling alley babes busy a’quotin’ their Bibles and a’totin’ their guns who think barry’s a Muslim? Were they ever asked if they thought Secy Clinton was a Muslim?
And what church does barry belong to now that he’s pandering to the Arab world and the Bible Belt swing states?
Is he even going to services anywhere now that he doesn’t need to prove he’s a Christian?
Hillary Clinton:
I believe in a zone of privacy.
Unfortunately, no one else does. And yet she perseveres despite it.
Despite two decades of misogynistic attacks by the gyne envy, castration anxiety-filled men and the catty women who mysteriously think their porcine coworkers don’t feel that way about all vaginas, including theirs.
Despite the constant onslaught of baseless assaults during the campaign by the infatuated media who have been completely corrupted in their attempts to elect and keep in office a man whose past they have never attempted to discover and have gone out of their way to cover up.
And who is getting the last laugh?
Hillary Clinton:
In the Bible it says they asked Jesus how many times you should forgive, and he said 70 times 7. Well, I want you all to know that I’m keeping a chart.
What isn’t known about Secy Clinton?
What are the chances she would have been inaugurated without her birth, school and medical records known?
And what are the chances one lawsuit – let alone a year’s worth – would have flown under the radar?
And then there’s the sexist enigma that is Hillary Clinton: She is not qualified to do anything when she is running against barry and yet she is “more than qualified” and “the right person for the job” and someone “who has a comprehensive grasp of the world” and someone who “does her homework” and is “well-prepared” when he needs help.
And when she retired from the Senate, she suddenly became “a great colleague” who is “going to be sorely missed” and morphed retrospectively into someone “fun to be around” who has a”great sense of humor” and had a “very bright future in the Senate”.
So where were all these spineless colleagues defending her when everyday pundits were railing at her to just quit already, as she won primary after primary?
When Glenn Beck was calling her an “insane socialist” and “It” as in “It cried”?
When Pete Snyder said it was “time to take her behind the barn”?
When Alex Castellanos, who thinks listening to barry give a speech is like sex, said it was “time to take the family dog to the vet“ and that “Hillary” should be called a bitch because she is a bitch.
What do you think he’s doing with the family dog bitch?
Where were those fine upstanding colleagues when Tucker Carlson characterized their fellow senator as a trapped animal in feral mode and a drunk party guest who wouldn’t go home?
When pinkie finger Lee Rodgers called her Hildebeest?
And where exactly were their words of outrage when terrified of powerful women Bill Maher was conjecturing how much they could get for Hillary’s cunt?
Where were those fine upstanding colleagues then?
Where were they when Ted Kennedy was saying she wasn’t noble enough?
When good old sexist Pat Leahy was whining on public radio that “she ought to withdraw”?
When the future President of the United States was too much of a eunuch to shake her hand and then stood by while giggly, glassy-eyed Sen McCaskill covered for him?
And after Hillary Clinton was nominated as Secretary of State, the pundits who had trashed her just months earlier were saying:
Another source of power is the power of her personality
and
When Hillary Clinton arrives representing the United States, that is going to send a very powerful signal, because people around the world know who she is, knows she’s powerful.
and
She clearly knows her stuff.
And the ever lovely Michelle Bernard:
We’re not looking at Senator Clinton today as a woman. We’re not talking about her jewelry or how she is dressed or anything like that. Where talking about the power that emanates with this woman. I think she is doing an excellent job. I think she is going to make a very effective Secretary of State. I think we’re going to see a very, very different Department of State – very strong, very powerful.
Gee whiz, such a stunning enlightenment from a woman who said “Hillary” would have won the nomination if she hadn’t voted for the war. Same as Carlos Watson.
When exactly did barry have a vote?
He didn’t.
That purported “superior judgment” speech was heard by maybe 1000 people and was not even mentioned in the Chicago papers the next day. He was not the featured speaker – Jesse Jackson was – and it was most definitely not given in the “midst of a heated senate race”. He flat out lied. The speech was given in October 2002 and he announced his intention to run for the senate January 2003.
And when there were consequences to his politically expedient words?
He took his 2002 speech off his website when he was running for Senate. He said he didn’t know how he would have voted. He did not speak out against John Kerry and John Edwards during his 2004 keynote address at the Democratic Convention. And when he got to the Senate, he said nothing about Iraq for over a year and voted the same as then Sen Clinton.
And yet folks believed every word about how he “got it right from the beginning”. And folks said, and are still saying, that the only reason he got the nomination and Secy Clinton didn’t was because of his “judgment” on Iraq.
So where was the outrage in February when he went back on his campaign promise to bring the troops home – proving once and for all that his Iraq story was in fact a fairy tale and that racist Mr Bill was right?
There was none.
His entire campaign was a lie – proven to be a lie by his own actions – and nothing was said.
And yet everything Secy Clinton does is scrutinized to the nth degree, as this video has proven.
And after Secy Clinton had proven herself to be as skilled as ever, Axelrod the Creepy admitted that she had the same knowledge and skills when she was running against barry:
[Madame Secretary Clinton] is smart, tenacious, well-prepared, HAD a great knowledge of the world and all of that is coming into play.
And she’s been a great, a great leading light in this administration.
Which is why the only good news in the latest Quinnipiac poll is “barry’s” handling of foreign policy.
Hillary Clinton:
I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life.
I thought Chris Matthews said “Hillary” only got her Senate seat because her husband was messing around?
Secy Clinton wasn’t wasn’t qualified to be president because she was just having tea with ambassadors and yet she was given the job requiring the most comprehensive knowledge of foreign policy by the man who labeled her a chatting tea-sipper.
The former First Lady – the first First Lady elected to the United States Senate and the first woman elected statewide in New York - continues undaunted in her role as champion of oppressed women and children everywhere. And she made that perfectly clear during her confirmation hearings – when MSNBC refused to show the pictures of the women disfigured at the hands of Muslim beasts because they were deemed “too disturbing”.
Then Senator Clinton:
It is not complicated: They want to maintain an attitude that keeps women…unhealthy, unfed, uneducated. And this is something that results all too often in violence against these young women, both within their families and from the outside.
This is not culture.
This is not custom.
This is criminal.
And it will be my hope to persuade more governments, as I have attempted to do since I spoke at Beijing on these issues, thirteen and some years ago, that we cannot have a free, prosperous, peaceful, progressive world if women are treated in such a discriminatory and violent way.
And the present First Lady is having Poetry Jams and talking about fashion while male fans of her husband write:
Hillary DARLING don’t get your panties in a knot.
At last, Change! you can believe in, defined.
TIME Magazine’s “Heroes and Icons” by Oprah Winfrey:
Michelle Obama doesn’t just inspire us. She affirms us with her intelligence, authenticity, depth and compassion.
How is one of TIME Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” using her intelligence, authenticity, depth and compassion to inspire the oppressed women of the Arab World?
Enter: “Michelle Obama” into Google search and the top nine automatic fill-ins are: dress, pregnant, inaugural gown, fashion, inauguration gown, bio, height, ball gown, gown. Pregnant?
What exactly is she influencing other than fashion, while the former First Lady does her husband’s bidding in war zones and is trashed for looking “slovenly”?
But, at a time when our nation is facing unprecedented challenges, encouraging careers in public service and social innovation are more important than ever.
And what public service did she engage in prior to becoming First Lady, while the First Lady of Arkansas ran a legal aid clinic for the poor, handling cases of foster care and child abuse, and later founded Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families?
Policies that support families aren’t political issues. They’re personal. They’re the causes I carry with me every single day.
Enter: “Name some of Michelle Obama’s charity work” on wikiAnswers and you get: “hi im billy”.
Which First Lady, at the age of 40, was paid $316,962 (having received a $195,092 raise two months after her husband became US Senator) to turn indigent women and children away from the ER so the hospital could make more of a profit?
And which First Lady, at age 30, was appointed by President Carter to the board of the United States Legal Services Corporation, a federal nonprofit program that funds legal assistance for the poor?
Which First Lady helped pass legislation to improve education for children and which First Lady photo op reads books to school children who can already read?
Which First Lady’s legal work led her to be named one of “The 100 Most Influential Lawyers in America” – not just once, but twice – and which First Lady’s law license was “court ordered inactive” after only four years?
Which First Lady was one of only twenty women in her Yale law school class and fought for Title IX and which First Lady benefited from her fight and received a scholarships because of it?
And New York Magazine’s post-Title IX Harvard-educated Amanda Fortini wrote: “Bitch and the Ditz: How the Year of the Woman reinforced the two most pernicious sexist stereotypes and actually set women back.”
Actually set women back?
Without Secy Clinton’s generation, Ms Fortini wouldn’t be in a position to write such crap.
What are the chances she will ever be enlightened to the reality that it is her job to move women forward and that this article isn’t the way to do it?
And then there’s Newsweek’s “Millennial” Sarah Kliff, who wrote: “Sorry, Hillary, Girls Already Rule“.
Might someone in touch with reality – a woman’s reality – clue Ms Kliff in that if that were true “Hillary” would be ruling?
Instead it’s this from her fellow Millennial:
Possibly Hillary can run as dog catcher in Elmore County, Alabama, we do have one planning to retire. She is clearly underqualified as of now, we do have some training available is she can get elected.
What kind of outrage would there be if that was written in reference to Mrs Obama?
What country has the present First Lady visited (or is planning on visiting) in a humanitarian role?
How much press did the wife of the President barry trashed every day, First Lady Laura Bush, get for directly helping and encouraging Afghan women to start their own businesses so they could become self-reliant and not have to be beaten and oppressed just to feed themselves and their children?
On her first trip abroad as First Lady, Mrs Obama visited a girls’ school in London to speak about the importance of education and the future role of women not once mentioning the role Secy Clinton’s generation played in making it possible for her to get an Ivy League education. Not once mentioning that without First Lady Hillary Clinton preceding her, she wouldn’t be standing there.
And the underqualifed potential dog catcher?
Stood up on her own accord thirteen years ago and lambasted China for their treatment of women, firmly declaring Women’s Rights are Human Rights, in a speech ranked #35 in the top 100 speeches of the 20th Century.
Mrs Obama, photo op passing out backpacks containing books, toys and healthy snacks:
Economic recovery is as much about what you’re doing in your communities as what we’re doing here in Washington – and it’s going to take all of us, working together.
And the children they were going to? Children of American servicemembers.
First Lady Hillary Clinton:
Our lives are a mixture of different roles. Most of us are doing the best we can to find whatever the right balance is…For me, that balance is family, work, and service.
Enter: Michelle Obama on the site “Look To The Stars: The World of Celebrity Giving” and under the heading: “Charities supported” you’ll see: “None known – if you know of one, please drop us an email.”
And who founded the American Voluntary Medical Team, which provides medical care in disaster and war zones and food and treatment to sick children in places like Micronesia, Vietnam, El Salvador, Iraq, Nicaragua, Zaire, India, Bangladesh and El Salvador and personally lead 55 missions, including walking through minefields, sleeping in huts, holding sick children (one of whom she adopted and another she arranged to be adopted) in a span of 7 years? And whose multimillionaire husband allowed her to be labeled a Stepford wife pill addict while declaring families were off limits?
Mrs Obama before “they” were elected:
[Cindy] addresses me politely…We have a very respectful relationship.
We’re going to need John McCain, we’re going to need Cindy McCain.
Where was Cindy McCain on the commemoration of September 11 and where was Mrs Obama, the odds on favorite future First Lady?
Was it: a) First day of school (8th); b) Campaign didn’t know it was just for the candidates; c) Wanted to be home all week (campaigned the 10th in Ohio); d) Traveled everywhere in the last 19 months and too tired; e) Didn’t have anything to wear; f) barry didn’t want her to upstage him or g) Never even crossed her mind; h) No longer proud of her country?
And while barry attack-added Sen McCain for not knowing how many houses his wife owned, his alleged half-brother in Africa was (still is) living in a slum and his cousins were (still are) surviving by herding goats.
Devoted brother on October 23, 2008, told Harry Smith — when asked why he was taking time off the campaign trail to visit his dying grandmother that he didn’t want to make the same mistake — that he had by not being at his mother’s bedside when she not unexpectedly died of cancer.
Most people understand that if you are not caring for your family, then you are probably not the kind of person who is going to be caring for other people.
And his actions?
He went to Hawaii to visit his grandmother on her deathbed but did not stay for what he absolutely knew would be her last birthday. In fact, he spent only 22 hours there. He arrived on Thursday, left on Friday and his typical white woman’s grandmother’s birthday was Sunday. And when she passed on November 2, he didn’t mention it until late afternoon on the 3rd at the second stump of the day.
Did he uses his private jet to fly back and comfort his sister?
No, he left her alone to make arrangements for the woman who worked and fed and loved him after his black father abandoned him so he could he could be President of the United States. And the Hawaiian people celebrated Madelyn Dunham’s life – the people who were outraged about the “typical white person” comment – and he had a convenient photo op on December 23 when he went on vacation for the holidays.
And why did Secy Clinton have to go to Kenya?
Because Kenyans (and Nigerians and many other African countries) who claim him as “their president” were enraged that he went to Ghana – where he never mentioned that women are stolen out of cabs and raped in the street in broad daylight – instead of his “Keynyan homeland”.
Secy Clinton is in Africa mopping up after him because of his disgusting need for political expedience. His connection to Ghana is through his mother’s family who were slave owners. He has nothing to do with American slavery. He grew up in the most diverse state in the union, where whites “haoles” were discriminated against and interracial marriages were legal in 1961. But because his skin has a pigment similar to African slaves brought to America he can lie that his parents got together because of Selma and trash Rev Jesse Jackson who actually lived it?
So, go ahead and laugh at the water cooler or take a second to consider the reality of real issues of real people who are really suffering every minute of their life – real people who Secy Clinton looks into the eyes of.
Name one place where barry has gone where he has seen actual suffering?
Not concentration camps that no longer contain 60lb skeletons barely subsisting on half a potato a day. Secy Clinton is looking at swollen babies’ stomachs and 60lb skeletons of their mothers who are unable to care for them. Not Ghana to look at what took place in the past. Secy Clinton is looking into the eyes of forever ruined young girls who were sold as a toddlers to become sex slaves.
She does not even represent the typical American woman with her lack of grace and poise.
Hillary Clinton:
Women are always being tested…but ultimately, each of us has to define who we are individually and then do the very best job we can to grow into it.
So, go ahead and have your chuckle if it makes you feel better about the fact that three or four neighbors on your block have lost their job and homes in the last week while Secy Clinton is looking into the eyes of women and children who live on a dollar a month.
Go ahead and make your menopause jokes if it makes you feel better about the women and children who are suffering and dying needlessly when readily available anti-malarial pills and $1 mosquito nets would allow them to live a productive life and bring their nation out of disease and poverty.
Go ahead and laugh about her having a bad hair day and her need for a stylist when she is seeing the ravages of AIDS – the women and children raped because the men think having sex with a virgin will cure their HIV/AIDS, including one day-old newborns.
Go ahead and post disgusting picture of Secretary Clinton on your blogs, send mass emails with bloody tampons and other misogynistic drivel and bring back the unbelievably vicious comments made during the primaries if that makes you feel better about the state of the US economy and the massive debt barry has already accumulated while handing out billions and ignoring the million dollar bonuses given to executives because he provided no accountability for the money we paid and barry’s Cabinet did not.
But maybe, instead of laughing at a women, who for over two decades has been attacked at her very core as a woman and mother, you might realize that she risked her life to talk with gang raped women and children – actual flesh and blood – not pre-screened sycophants at townhalls.
Realize that she actually wants to know what she can do for the people of Congo where women and girls are being raped every day – not be asked what her husband thinks.
Realize she is not being asked softball questions during prime time news conferences – she is looking into the eyes and touching the ruined bodies of women and girls who have been raped over and over in public with men cheering the savage beast on and then taking their turns – other women powerless to intervene because they know no one will come to their aid and they will only be next.
I’m angry just writing this. And if I had to look into those girls’ eyes I sure the hell wouldn’t want to be asked to channel my husband’s thoughts.
So, go ahead and laugh if you want to. Talk about what a bitch she is for becoming irritated when she is really thinking of the raped pre-teen girls she is going to have to comfort and explain why she can’t stop it.
Go ahead and joke about her “shrillness” if it makes you feel better about your own lives and helps you ignore the fact that 1 in 3 women in the US military are raped and that they are more likely to be raped by fellow Americans in Iraq than killed by enemy fire.
Hillary Clinton:
There cannot be true democracy unless women’s voices are heard.
There cannot be true democracy unless women are given the opportunity to take responsibility for their own lives.
There cannot be true democracy unless all citizens are able to participate fully in the lives of their country.
And Secy Clinton is attempting to do just that. She is trying to make a difference. Women of the world look to her as hope – as someone who cares enough to venture into a war zone via a UN plane because her own plane is not deemed safe – as in shot down.
Women of the world are the means to peace and prosperity – not their savage brothers, father and even sons who see fit to behead them, disfigure them and sell them to men three times their age. Men who see fit to mutilate innocent girl’s genitals – cutting them with dull knives or pieces of glass or rusty lids from a can of beans and then rubbing ash into the jagged flesh.
So, with that in mind, watch the video and chuckle away.
Perhaps you might want to hear the question as translated:
What does Mr. Clinton think through the mouth of Mrs. Clinton?
How would Mrs Obama have reacted if she ever ventured somewhere meaningful?
And most news outlets haven’t shown the end of the townhall where the student went over to Secretary Clinton and apologized for his mistake. He meant to say Mr Obama, which is a reasonable question, and one Secy Clinton would have had no problem answering.
And together they laughed.
And Jake Tapper’s blog, re: Secy Clinton’s reaction when the mistranslation was made clear? Keep in mind this video, with the exchange at the end already was already available and the press were in the room.
No immediate word on how Mrs Clinton responded.
Take a look:

So why is this such a big ha-ha?
Because Secy Clinton’s approval index is 22 pts HIGHER than barry’s and barrymedia can’t stand it. Her disapproval rating is 15 and his is 31. And that’s with the media constantly scrutinizing her and covering for him.
And who is doing real work and who is surfing around for adoration at townhalls and telepromptering the same old words that do not correlate with action?
And what do you think the next poll will show after the media had their chuckles with this?
The barrymedia in their haste to destroy Secy Clinton don’t seem to grasp that when they do they are hurting their boy barry.
Sexism takes precedence over manlove, I guess.
Go ahead and gossip and believe this trash “opined” from unnamed “insiders” and “anonymous sources” that do not exist:
The Post gets some juicy quotes from “insiders.” One opines, “Today’s event should erase any doubt that Bill Clinton’s shadow looms large behind her. Her sensitivity about the question seems to indicate a sense of jealousness.” Another anonymous source says, “Sounds to me like these are issues better left worked out in therapy than through reporters.” And a third observer decides, “It’s either jet lag or jealousy. Either way, she needs some more rest.”
And while you’re laughing, Secretary Hillary Clinton will continue fighting so that women around the world are afforded basic human rights and given the opportunity to reach their God-given potential.
Hillary Clinton:
In too many instances, the march to globalization has also meant the marginalization of women and girls.
And that must change.
That’s change you can believe in.
And you best believe that this latest attack is not going to sway Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from accomplishing it.

I’m still standing after all this time, ha, ha, ha…
Seizing the torch

Accepting it

Triumphantly carrying it
Passing it along

Ms Chelsea Clinton & Madame Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
The real Hillary Clinton, revealed.
