Hillary: secretary of empowerment

[AdamSmith]

There are starting to be some articles on how Hillary didn't score many big spectacular diplomatic set-piece triumphs. This piece by Donna Brazile is a nice counterweight, meditating on some of Hillary's real achievements.

Nice piece about Hillary but perhaps a bit overblown. Even though I differ with her politics I am perfectly willing to admire her positives and there are many. Regardless of the trust between her and BO and her marriage with President Clinton, personally I do not think that makes her a "perfect" candidate for the next US President. No doubt, we could do worse. However, I am hoping we can do "better".

Hillary seemingly exhausted herself and perhaps her ideals during her time as Secretary of State. I am not happy with the so called "final" result of Benghazi, regardless of her departing comments about same.

I do not know if she has the physcical stamina to be the next President. I am hopeful there will be attractive alternatives and she will properly evaluate her situation at the time.

Best regards,

Hillary seemingly exhausted herself ...during her time as Secretary of State.

I do not know if she has the physical stamina to be the next President.

Me neither. She seems worn out, almost frail. I'm wondering if there's more to it than just being tired.

I personally think she will not run. We should expect comparable candidates from the younger generation.. It's a bit worrisome that Republicans had no viable candidate in 2012.. No talent means not so bright future for the country..

It alarms me a lot when highly educated people don't have any sense of charity and compassion on other human beings.. It's about me me me and me... And they complain about the country is going down hill... Well I know one reason out of many why that is so..
