What is political anyway?
My thanks to Hillary Clinton for today giving me one more reason to despise her. If you read my previous post about Benizir Bhutto, you know that a senior official in the Obama camp made a comment about Ms. Clinton voting for the war created a situation wherein the assasination of Ms. Bhutto was more likely to occur. Well, today Hillary accused Obama of bringing politics into the assasination. THE HELL WOMAN? Benizir Bhutto was a political figure. Her assasination was a political event. (By the way, the official cause of death is not bullet wounds or shrapnel but a bump on the head.) Seriously, what kind of politician accuses a politician of bringing politics into politics? She went on to poke at his limited foreign policy experience. Obama fired back with a whitty remark about how sitting around drinking tea as first lady does not an experienced foreign policy maker make. Obama 1, Hillary 0!

I’ve got no love for Clinton (though, I can’t pinpoint where my irrational hatred comes from), but I think her comment was referring to blatantly using Bhutto’s death to further one’s own political ambitions. She was accusing his camp of using Bhutto’s death in the politics game versus the actual politics of nation-building/running.
I would also venture to guess that duties as First Lady are a little more advanced than drinking tea (but that, granted, is based solely on repeated viewings of The West Wing) and I would also hazard to guess that it did provide a little more exposure to the practice of foreign policy than Obama has had.
That said, while I know virtually nothing about Mitt Romney’s politics, I’d have to agree with him when he says “If the answer for leading the country is someone that has a lot of foreign policy experience, we can just go down to the State Department and pick up any one of the tens of thousands of people who spent all their life in foreign policy…{what is needed is a chief executive with leadership and the ability to assemble) “a great team of people to be able to guide and direct them to understand what decision has to be made.”
Oh my, I hope Hillary isn’t thinking of (*gasp*) bringing *politics* to her presidency ?
Nice blog here.
