“I think this is smart power, where it is not just brute force, it is not just unilateralism,” she said. “It is being smart enough to say you know what we want a bunch of people signing out of the same hymn book and we want them singing a song of universal freedom, human rights, democracy, everything that we have stood for and pioneered over 235 years.”

Now that’s a great campaign slogan for Obama in 2012. SMART POWER! Oh BTW, I thought we were supposed to be out of Libya back in early April?

“And then there is the work that our embassy team in Rome has been doing,” Clinton said. “Two weeks ago they played an instrumental role in bringing Lady Gaga to Italy for a Euro Pride concert.
“Now as many of you know Lady Gaga is Italian American and a strong supporter of LGBT rights,” said Clinton. “And the organizers of the Euro Pride event desperately wanted her to perform and a letter to her from Ambassador Thorne was instrumental in sealing the deal.”

Not wonder Obama and the rest of the Marxist Democrats want more tax “revenue.” How else will they be able to fund things like EuroPride in Italy!?

“Our message to the Taliban remains the same, but today, it may have even greater resonance: You cannot wait us out. You cannot defeat us,” Clinton said. “

Of course right after these great remarks, Hillary reminds everyone why she is a progressive saying:

“But you can make the choice to abandon al Qaeda and participate in a peaceful political process.”

Yea, like that’s likely to happen.

“President Ouattara’s troops must live up to the ideals and vision articulated by their elected leader. At the same time, we call on the UN peacekeeping mission to aggressively enforce its mandate to protect civilians,” Clinton said. “As President Ouattara takes the reins of government, he must prevent his troops from carrying out reprisals and revenge attacks against their former foes.”

Big words from Billary. But I don’t think we have to worry about wasting any money here since there are no oil issues in this country for Europe (unlike Libya.)

“‎The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”

There was also Biden in 2007 who said war without congressional authorization should warrant impeachment. Biden also said in 1998 that military actions based on UN resolutions were “monarchist.”

You can add Hillary Clinton to the list of those who were against war without congressional authorization before they were for it. Back in 2007 on the Senate floor, the same phony Hillary Clinton who is basically leading the war against Libya today said this:

“If the administration believes that any, any use of force against Iran is necessary, the president must come to Congress to seek that authority,”

So lets add things up. Democrats are for wars when they instigate and start them (like Vietnam and Libya.) Democrats and progressive liberals are against wars if they are instigated by Republicans (Iraq, Afghanistan.)

Being that Gadhafi is such a close friend of Rev. Wright and Louis Farrakhan, maybe Obama offer him exile in America if his happens!

Matthews is right, but Billary is all talk.

I guess she’s under the assumption that Obama is going to win re-election next year somehow. She also claims (again) that she wouldn’t try and run for president. Don’t worry Hillary. You surely wouldn’t be missed.

“There was an invitation for members of the coalition to meet Secretary of State Hillary Clinton but based on her negative position from the beginning of the revolution and the position of the US administration in the Middle East, we reject this invitation,” the January 25 Revolution Youth Coalition said in a statement posted on its Facebook page.

The Egyptians aren’t stupid. They know exactly where Billary and the Obama regime stands.

The chump PJ Crowley is basically the spokesman for Hillary Clinton, who obviously feels the same way. The enter Obama regime from the top on down is loaded with treasonous snakes, so this doesn’t surprise me at all.

Congressman Steve Chabot (R, Ohio), in a hearing today on Capitol Hill, asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the U.S. response to Libya. In his question, Chabot said that the “initial U.S. response” has been “tepid,” and went on to compare the greater response from the British and even the Chinese.

Clinton said:

we feel that we did this in a prudent and effective manner. And we did it in a way that did not raise the alarm bells around the region and the world that we were about to invade for oil. If you follow, as we follow, all of the websites that are looking at what’s happening in the Middle East, you see a constant drumbeat that the United States is going to invade Libya to take over the oil – and we can’t let that happen. Well, we are not going to do that. And we are going to side with the Libyan people and their aspirations, but the last thing in the world we wanted was to start off with military assets when we very effectively got our people out.

“It poses a national security threat in two ways: it undermines our capacity to act in our own interest, and it does constrain us where constraint may be undesirable”

Now, not so much. Now according to ABC, flip flopper Hillary Clinton is claiming that the GOP proposed cuts are “massive” and “detrimental to America’s national security.”

Huh? You can’t have it both ways Hillary. Of course, the bias of ABC shows in the story, as they fail to mention Hillary’s comments back in September when she totally contradicted herself. But, so is the way of the lame stream media. Maybe she’s like her hubby Bill Clinton, and it just depends on what the meaning of the “debt” is.

First on CNN’s State of the Union Hillary Clinton called for a “peaceful transition.” While in the same interview claiming

“We’re not advocating any specific outcome”

So which is it Hillary? We know Obama loves to vote present on important matters, but doing that here isn’t an option. Either you back Mubarak, or you back the overthrow of his government which could lead to Muslim Brotherhood controlling of the country, or a moderate. Yet again, the Obama regime shows just how weak and incompetent it is.

“Based on what I know, this is a criminal defendant who was in some ways motivated by his own political views, who had a particular animus toward the congresswoman,” Clinton said in an interview with CNN. “And I think when you cross the line from expressing opinions that are of conflicting differences in our political environment into taking action that’s violent action, that’s a hallmark of extremism, whether it comes from the right, the left, from Al Qaeda, from anarchists, whoever it is. That is a form of extremism.”

Based on what you know? You are half way around the world Hillary in the middle east! You know what the rest of know. That Jared Loughner is a lone nut who Sheriff Dupnik should have done something about months ago and didn’t. Stick to covering up your husband’s Lewinsky scandals. There’s a reason why you aren’t President right now, and you just displayed it.

Despite a simmering diplomatic row, President Hugo Chavez and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were seen having a brief, friendly chat Saturday at the inauguration of Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff.
“They talked and smiled, at least for five minutes. It looked like a social conversation, both were smiling,” a Brazilian official who witnessed the encounter told AFP on condition of anonymity.

I wonder if Hugo gave Hillary a book too?

So Hillary might step down to “spend more time with her family.” Yea right. If these rumors are true and Hillary does step down, you don’t full well she will challenge Obama in 2012. This would also be rather odd considering Obama nominated Richardson to his cabinet as Secretary of Commerce. Richardson eventually had to withdraw because of a pay to play scandal.

Asked in the closing moments of an interview airing Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” if she would submit to “one of these pat-downs” that have caused a national outcry among travelers, Clinton replied, “Not if I, not if I could avoid it.”

“No, I mean who would?” she said with a chuckle.

Nice to see Hillary and those in this tyrannical regime think the pat downs and the people outraged and embarrassed by them is nothing but a big joke to them.

Younger people (ages 18-34) who Obama supposably “energized” in 2008 favor Hillary by 54% to 46%. ut even among the youngest age group that was considered solid Obama territory, 18- to 34-year-olds, a majority of 54 percent opted for Clinton. Even Hispanics, who Obama implored to “punish your enemies”" prefer Hillary over Obama by a margin of 55%-45%.
