How does he do this? Well, first he chose Rahm Emanuel for his Chief of Staff. Bipartisan? Oh sure. He's head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Oh, by the way...I should mention that one of this fellow democrats moved to the Right side of the aisle. What did he do? Oh nothing...well, if you consider mailing a rotting fish to someone who disagreed with you 'nothing.'
Ok, what about his Secretary of State? Surely given the delicate views from the public on foreign policy he would chose someone who would be embraced by both sides of the aisle. So who does he appear to have picked? Sources say that the lucky lady is none other than the Jr. Senator from New York- Madame Hillary Clinton. She has gone on and on about her extensive experience in foreign policy.
Okay......let's play ball. What successful foreign policy accomplishments does Madame Hillary claim to have been instrumental in? Macedonia, Bosnia/Kosovo, and Northern Ireland. She claims to have been a key player in putting a stop to the conflicts which plagued these 3 nations during Billy's administration. Time for a little fact check:
- Macedonia- Hillary claims to have "negotiated open borders" in the country in an effort to provide an escape for fleeing Kosovo refugees. What actually happened? The border opened up before she even arrived.
- Northern Ireland- Queen Pant-Suit claims to have "helped bring peace to Northern Ireland." However, you ask Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey (the First Minister of Northern Ireland and a Nobel Peace Prize winner) how she contributed to "bring peace" and he laughs. "I don't know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill going around" he said. The Lord went on to say "I don't want to rain on the thing for her but being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principle player."
- Kosovo-Hillary also claims to have been instrumental in ending the conflict in Kosovo. Really? I mean..really? Sure, if you consider touring the country with the prince of peace Sinbad, the Tennessee diplomat/country singer Sheryl Crow, and her gorgeous daughter Chelsea a diplomatic 'negotiation.' Folks, that's all she did in Kosovo- toured refugee camps with a guy who plays a 8ft tall genie, a mediocre country singer, and a daughter who is ugly as sin.
So when it comes to her ability to direct our nation's foreign policy operations I am supremely concerned. Not to mention that she is one of the most partisan politicians in the Senate. But some of you say "ohhhh, but her husband had such good diplomatic relations with foreign leaders." FINE. Put him in the cabinet. Not his wife.
