Trust Obama on Clinton

If he picks her as secretary of state, she's the right choice.

    WHAT A RIDICULOUS ARGUMENT!

    Joan, you, like so many delusional liberals, are thoroughly clueless on this.

    Trust Obama?

    The guy who named RAHM EMANUEL as his chief of staff -- a hardline neoliberal free market anti-regulation ideologue who's worked so hard for YEARS to promote IMF/World Bank policies that have hurt millions around the world and eviscerated our finance and economic structure domestically, bringing us to the state we're now in. The hardline rightwing zionist guy who condemned Bush for being "too hard" on Israel?

    HILLARY CLINTON AS SECRETARY OF STATE???

    Like Emanuel, she's an absolutely APPALLING choice! Both are morally bankrupt corporate whores totally alligned to AIPAC, Wall Street and military policies around the globe. They are exactly like mainstream Republicans. There is no difference between Hillary Clinton and Gates or Kissinger or Eagleburder. The fact that you have a mass murdering terrorist like Kissinger supporting Hillary in this position says it all.

    I wish I could be amused by how easily liberals like you totally forget all your supposed principles, how you get all gooey when it comes to Democrats like Hillary, how you stop demanding anything from people like Clinton and Emanuel and Obama -- people TOTALLY uninterested in making any fundamental changes in foreign policy or economic policy.

    Let's just sit back and trust that they'll change the world for us.

    Kerry or Richardson would've been better choices for the position, not great, but better than the pro-warmongering Hillary Clinton.
