In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton criticizes Obama's foreign policy 'failure'; strongly defends Israel [View all]Cha
(296,893 posts)115. So well said, MBS.. Thank you!
"I was not happy about her comments, especially about the TIMING of her comments
quite apart from the content of her remarks (much of which I disagreed with, especially the parts highlighted in the OP), it seems to be a less than classy approach,as a fellow Democrat who was SoS during the many of the events in question, to criticize Obama's foreign policy while he is the sitting president.. . and especially now, when he is getting such flack from Repubs. Of course, she has a right to voice her opinions, but the timing and public nature of her remarks. . well,it's not my idea of personal or political loyalty, or even empathy for what Obama has to deal with right now.
Personally, as the global storms continue to multiply, I've thought daily how lucky we are to have a president who respects the facts and thinks before he acts, who has tried as much as possible to work in concert with allies rather than take the W. "cowboy" approach, and who has the ability to "connect the dots" when considering the implications of each crisis and each response to each crisis."

OP
Oh yeah, she's running. And it is sad to see the way she is going to run. And she doesn't have to

I'll vote for her if she's the nominee, it would be foolhardy to do otherwise

Neither. She MAY know her health will preclude her, & MAY want to rake in as much $$$ as possible

I'll vote for Hillary for the Supreme Court alone. I'd vote for anybody over a Republican.
