Hillary Clinton: Obama‘s ’Envious’ of Her Election Day Trip Far, Far Away

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton joked Tuesday that President Barack Obama may be jealous of her for being out of the country for hotly contested congressional midterm elections that are expected to see Republicans make big gains.
Clinton told students and civic leaders in Malaysia that she had spoken to Obama by phone on the eve of the vote, and joked that she thought he seemed “a little envious” that she was abroad for an election that may see Democrats lose control of Congress.
“I think he was a little envious that I am here,” Clinton said, describing the phone call she and Obama had at 1 a.m. — midday Monday on Washington time.
Barred from partisan political activity as America’s top diplomat, Clinton said she personally thought Obama is doing an “excellent job” in handling complex domestic and foreign policy matters.
“The president inherited a very difficult set of problems and has been persistent and visionary in addressing” them, she said.

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 9:07amObama “a little envious”! That was not envy that was fear! Obama’s scary Halloween comes a few days late. He’s a child about to walk up to the dark old house on the corner. His knees are knocking and his teeth are rattling. He “tricked” the Dems into putting him into office and now it is our “treat” to take his bag of candy and distribute it back to the people. Hillary! what you heard was the rush of air as the President of the United States ran back the curb to cling to the leg of Michelle after finding out that behind the door was a American handing out Coupons to McDonald’s, Directions to the Ronald Reagan Library and Pocket Constitutions. Enjoy the day as we see a power swing. Tomorrow the hard work starts… Keeping both parties in-line and preparing for all the racist attacks as we start working on voting Obama out of office in 2 years.

I personally beleive the 08 primaries were rigged to derail Clinton. Just my take on things. Clintons and Barry just all need to go quietly off in the sunset and leave America alone.

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 8:36amHilary and Michelle can take permanent vacations as far as I am concerned. They both want us to redistribute our wealth to other countries. But what I would like is for them to start with their own money first. Can you say lead by example. Yeah, she wants to be far away because right now she has no stake in it. If her butt was on the line then it would be a different story.

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 9:28amHillary pushed the Obama agenda mostly in the background. Then hid out of media sight as he took the heat. Quick example: The ground zero Islamic center fiasco.
Remember not too long ago, Hillary’s push for US redistribution of wealth to Africa in the name of “green.” Let’s send them $50 million (taxpayer dollars) in cooking stoves to reduce carbon emission from inefficient wood burning. It also was the “humanitarian” thing to do so the woman would not have to walk so far for the extra wood.
Hillary will run against Obama in 2012. Heaven help us if either is elected.

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 4:23pmHillary is very good at what she does or doesn‘t do and right now she’s laying the ground work for her own future presidential plans. Those who think Hillary is a “political has been” for the presidencial nomination had better think again. She’ll be back and soon and Obama knows it. I would not be surprised if very soon she resigns her position as Secretary of State in order to have a fee hand in planning the actions for her future political aspirations. She wants to be POTUS and she’ll not give up easily. Why do you think she’s halfway around the world during the USA midterm elections? Obama wanted to keep her out of sight and out of the news. Clever huh?
