The persistence of Hillary

As secretary of state, Clinton has made an impression across the globe and spectrum.

 

By Frida Ghitis

If you want to find a harsh crowd for an American official, send him - or her - to Pakistan. That's why reviews of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's stop in Islamabad during her latest dizzying tour of international trouble spots should make us take notice.

"Drum roll for Hillary," wrote Rizwan Ghani in the Pakistan Observer, "because she has hit a home run."

Hillary, as she is known around the globe, does not earn accolades just for her cheerful smile. She is tough as nails. In fact, she's much tougher than her boss, President Obama. And her mastery of complicated issues can leave observers' jaws dangling from their hinges.

The Pakistani daily Dawn spoke of her "Iron fist in a velvet glove," as it described her taking on Pakistani officials over tense problems, including Afghanistan, the Taliban, China-Pakistan nuclear cooperation, Indo-Pakistani water disputes, and so on.


Snip:
Your fault America we don't have the POTUS we truly deserve...or maybe we have the POTUS we 15-minutes of fame public deserve.

She was always much more hawkish than Obama on Iran's nuclear program, for example, showing skepticism that his "outstretched hand" would nudge Tehran to change course. Her doubts proved correct, and Obama is now pushing the line she advocated two years ago.

Amen, VH. What a mess. Of course we know that Obama didn't win the nomination. It was awarded to him by the conspirators in the DNP like Pelosi, Dean, and others who pre-selected him as the nominee even before the primary began - they deserve him. The rest of the Obamacrats deserve him. MSM deserves him. All the cheating, lying, election stealing PACs and Community Action Groups deserve him. The prog bloggers who conspired to cover-up news of his close relationship with his crazy, racist pastor, and other juicy tidbits deserve him.

The rest of us don't deserve him.

I love the way Hillary has gained the respect of countries throughout the world. Obama pledged to restore America's position in the world. Hillary has done all the heavy lifting on that effort. She is the one who is respected, and the one who has restored the respect of other countries for America.
