Christopher Hitchens on Hillary Clinton Sec. State?? 2 of 2

[Kristophirst]

Muffin, Muffin, Muffin, puh-leeeeease, get over it already! She lost FAIR AND SQUARE! Obama owes neither her, or her husband NOTHING. IF ANYTHING, SHE OWES HIM FOR REPEATEDLY IMPUNING HIS CHARACTER, SWEET-HEART.

[Illiknight40]

No. Don't do it, Obama.

[Inferno41]

This has to be a condition Clinton gave Obama to win her support during the campaign. I can't think of any other reason he'd be doing this.

[cyklonb1989]

lol so that's the change he'd been bragging about?

[t0kt0k]

Sad as it is, I think we all knew deep down that we were nowhere near being rid of Hillary Clinton.

[lollygager3664]

Hillary was the wrong person, especially after one looks at her squalid history on foreign policy. Is anyone to tell me that she is even remotely qualified (intellegence, experience, ethics) for this EXTREMELY delicate and nuanced positon.

[Canaanabolaanan]

Well, either that, or Obama's just a better candidate, a better politician, and a better leader. I think that Hillary should get the job as SoS. She is a very bright and capable leader as well, and I was very happy with her as a candidate, save for the smears between the two in the primaries. Though I respect Hitchens viewpoints. He seems fairly sharp, and I'm wondering if he would think she should work for Obama in some capacity in his administration, or does Bill rule her out entirely to him?

Obama owes the sec of state to Hillary, after what he and the DNC did to them during the primary! Richardson and Kerry thought if they came out for Obama they would get the job, that is the only reason they endorsed Obama over Clinton!

[cyklonb1989]

he doesnt owe her shit.

[muffin1559]

He owes her everything, we 18,000,000 would have went any direction if she did not endorse Obama, so don't let your ass ever be fooled! We Hillary supporters are still pissed by the way she was treated by Obama and the DNC! HE OWES HER BIG TIME!

[thescottishJimmy]

what are you a sheep

[muffin1559]

I did not vote for Obama, there were people (Hillary supporters) that were going to vote for McCain till Hillary and Bill both started to campaign for Obama, that is what I meant when I said the Hillary supporter did vote for Obama in the end! But Obama still owes Hillary, if it were not for Hillary and her supporters, we would be looking at a McCain Presidency. Which I wish we had!

[thescottishJimmy]

in the public view I suppose sorry man

[muffin1559]

I did not vote for nor support BAAAA-rack!

[Kaimosae]

We?

You do not speak for all Hillary supporters.

I don't understand how you can call yourself a Hillary Clinton supporter and vote for McCain? Disgraceful.

[muffin1559]

If you were a true Hillary supporter, you would know how she was treated by Obama, his supporters and the whole DNC, you would not ever have voted for Obama, you would either not have voted at all or voted for McCain... I feel the way Obama and the rest of the group treated Hillary was disgraceful!

[Kaimosae]

Of course I noticed the treatment...mostly from his supporters and the media...but it's called POLITICS. On the other hand...Hillary's camp didn't have many nice things to say about Obama either.

Big deal.

When it comes to policy...they are fundamentally the same. Yes, they vary on some things, but for the most part they agree. To me...that's most important. THE ISSUES.

I would never vote for McCain because when it comes to policy...we are polar opposites (for the most part).

[muffin1559]

Only when Obama and his supporters, the DNC and news media started smearing her and Bill's name, that is something I can never forget or forgive!

I got to the point where I said screw the issues, as long as Obama did not make it, that was all I cared about! I along with most of my friends said both were evil, one (Obama) was the worst!
