She just looks like her politics would be all fu*ked up.

Anyone the left chooses would suck at their job just like Hillbillery does.


Leaving the position open for the next 2 years would be a better option.

Obama will not be installing a SecState in 2012, FYI.

Maybe she can be his executive assistant when he goes back to organizing communities.

I have to confess... I secretly love her
She's got a sweet office too - but most Pulitzer Prize winning professors do
She's a great writer a great thinker (bonus points for green eyes) although they have to do a lot of work to make her look attractive...

I think she graduated Harvard law right around the same time Ivy's kid went there..?

Bronco,
I'm pretty sure you're not a complete idiot
So you obviously did NOT listen to the clip you copied - the clip secondly is miss titled "Obama advisor calls for a military invasion of Israel" which at no point has Samantha Powers ever called for that and certainly not in that clip

What she is pointing out is that intervention means getting between both groups and successfully taking NO SIDE.

Israel is slowly but surely ethnically cleansing the Palestinians and the Palestinians in many cases are playing into their hands... and at some point the voice of Reason must intervene

:coffee:

That's all this clip is about... and if you actually listened to it you'd know that

Which shows that she has the same unicorns and rainbows vision of foreign policy as the President. It also shows that she isn't much of a student of history. She might want to read up on past attempts to get in the middle of two warring factions while 'successfully' taking no sides. (Hint: see Lebanon, and just about every armed UN mission ever devised)

Understood,
I and a respect your assessment - but what I was doing was correcting Bronco's utter bullsh!t not defending her position - however I see it might seem like that (since I confessed my undying love for her granola ass)

Bronco (or Glen Beck lite) doesn't seem to actually read the articles or listen to the clips he provides... frequently his support material goes directly against his argument. He simply appears to be following some script


:coffee: odd or sad... I can't decide which, but it's certainly one of those two things

She looks vaguely reptilian. The sad thing is that this is supposed to be a glamour shot.

Ok I feel you.

Actually I think Obama is going to be in a VERY hard spot when he has to appoint a new SecState. In hindsight, Clinton was the no-brainer choice, and even though he chose her for political reasons (to throw the Travises a bone), she turned out to be exactly the Secretary he needed. Bellicose enough to keep the hawks quiet, and liberal enough to keep the gays and women appeased.

He is going to have a tough choice this time around. There's really nobody out there with known credentials who can walk the line credibly in the way Clinton has. I expect that folks like KYJelly have actually bitten on what is in fact a trial balloon. Obama probably thinks that because State is has been written off for the past 50 years as a liberal bastion (it is) that he can put pretty much any granola in there that he wants and it wouldn't matter. I think that would be a huge mistake. Any proponent of soft power is going to install a SecState who is not going to start Republican mouths frothing just by virtue of his or her existence, the way this one would. I am surprised they even floated her, quite frankly. A soft power advocate is going to have to carry a huge political stick and have credentials on the warmaking side of the house. Kerry wants the job but he's a shill and nobody takes him seriously. I think a great candidate would be (God help me for saying it) Lindsey Graham. He has military credentials (ex-military guys as SecStates have great track records... see Powell and Marshall) and he is a moderate. He carries quite a bit of respect on both sides of the aisle, and he is a major proponent of soft power and a ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Plus, he would be a good foil for Kerry, who I think might well be a better candidate for SecDef than anything else. Kerry would have to reconcile his past criticisms of military action with present realities, and I think this would make him a 'tread lightly' kind of guy, but I digress.

LIndsey Graham for Sec State. He's a pragmatic choice, and I do think Obama is a pragmatist. You heard it here first.

ALPHA,
You are completely irrelevant
You've never read a book - your ideas are handed to you, and you tend to only over simplify them and simultaneously corrupt them, frankly it's amazing to watch... and secondly - you wouldn't know a Pulitzer author if one was standing in your spaghetti... so go back to the all-you-can-eat buffet you crawled out of and come up with some new material

You dont know me, I dont like buffets and my ideas, are my ideas I dont get them from anyone.

You on the other hand seem to always rip off authors ideas and agree with them.......:coffee:

The fact you even care about a Pulitzer author is laughable, Mad magazine has more credibility than anything Pulitzer they gave Obama a peace prize and now hes starting illegal wars and getting our troops killed in Libya.

Dont you have something to iron.......maybe a clue..........................yours is very wrinkled.

75% of your posts are so ignorant they don't even warrant a response
the other 25% are actually kind of funny

You do have a sense of humor, I'll grant you that
