I said that? Part VI
Hillary Clinton inherits the perfect job as Obama’s choice for Secretary of State. And she’s a *perfect* fit, because, you know, she’s met people. Obama said this of Clinton during the primary battles:
“Experience in Washington is not knowledge of the world,” he continued, provoking laughter among those present. “This I know. When Senator Clinton brags, ‘I’ve met leaders from 80 countries,’ I know what those trips are like. I’ve been on them. You go from the airport to the embassy. There’s a group of children who do a native dance. You meet with the CIA station chief and the embassy and they give you a briefing. You go take a tour of plant that” with “the assistance of Usaid has started something. And then, you go. Hell, I’ve been to Pawk-i-stawn, dammit and I have the Soros vote.”
I may have embellished a little at the end, but you may be asking yourself why Obama now thinks the colossal task of righting the misguided American foreign policy ship should belong to such an empty suit. Why makes her so qualified now? I guess the last eight years have been so terrible that anybody is better than what we’ve had, right?
In March 2008, Obama
argued that Clinton isn’t the one to change American foreign policy: “Real change isn’t voting for George Bush’s war in Iraq and then telling the American people it was actually voting for more diplomacy.”
Yet she’s the one now, right baby?
