At times during 2008, I said that, while I expected Barack Obama to be, at best, a mediocre President, the country would be better off with him in the White House than Hillary Rodham Clinton. At times during 2009, I’ve wavered in that judgement. Now the Secretary of State has convinced me that it was correct and, indeed, that she is unfit for any high office.
The breaking point is a statement she made in Nigeria, a country awash in corruption, nepotism and electoral fraud. After noting those problems, she added,
Our democracy is still evolving. You know we've had all kinds of problems in some of our past elections, as you might remember. In 2000, our presidential election came down to one state where the brother of the man running for president was the governor of the state, so we have our problems, too.
For an audience in a place where stealing an election for one’s brother would be widely regarded as routine, if not commendable, the implication was obvious. If Secretary Clinton didn’t realize that, she is too stupid to hold our nation’s most important diplomatic post. If she did know what she is saying, she is a LaRouchian fantasist.
Either way, the President should fire her now.
"If she did know what she is saying, she is a LaRouchian fantasist."
Methinks the blogger doth protest too much. The Secretary of State did not, according to your post, complain about the usurpation of Congressional power by the USSC, nor did she point out Congress' dereliction of its Constitutional duty to resolve disputed Electoral College elections, she merely stated the simple fact that Jeb Bush, Governor of Florida in the year of the State's much disputed 2000 electoral election, is, in fact, the brother of one of the candidates.
According to you, she didn't add any dots, nor did she connect them. Not that she had to.
I am certain that you will shortly be demanding the resignations of anyone who asserts that the Earth is round.
