Hillary Clinton cares only about her own power, not about women

[NMMatt]

One of the best foreign policy minds Samantha Power:

Anna Lindh Professor of Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy at Havard Kennedy School of Government
Founded the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy

2003 Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction for her book "A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide"
2003 National Book Critics Circle Award for general nonfiction
Council on Foreign Relations' Arthur Ross Prize for the best book in U.S. foreign policy

Was forced to resign over making an off the record comment, which happened to be true, by Hillary playing the victim card and manipulating the media. If Hillary cared about women achieving in our society, she would not call for the resignation of one of the best female foreign policy experts for basically calling a "duck" a "duck."

1. Or perhaps Samantha Power just cares about being a smartass

If she can't control herself any better than that during a primary election, how can she be expected to aid the US diplomatically?

[NMMatt]

9. That's the Clinton way - throw anyone under the bus who might get in the way of their power -nt

[greyghost]

11. She threw HERSELF under the bus. However, don't let the facts

get in the way of your fantasy. Keep posting your garbage, I'm sure Hillary's team loves it. You are a great example of Obama's politics of hope.:rofl:

5. Samantha Powers resignation over this isn't worth

the paper it's written on. Enough with the faux outrage, already!

I swear, you sincere Obamacans must have "sucker" stenciled on your foreheads!

Powers HAD to know her remarks were going to be published. This is how the Obama Campaign plays dirty while maintaining "plausible deniability". This was just another charade for you Obama lappers. Your candidate really knows how to play you.

[NMMatt]

8. Only if she were in the Clinton campaign

That's the problem with the Clinton-Bush-Rove-wing of the Democratic party. They always attribute their same slimey tactics to people who really care about changing our politics for the better. It was a gaffe in the sense that a gaffe is saying something true and being caught. Only the Clinton/Bushs are cynical enough to play the media this way on purpose.

[TheDebbieDee]

12. I think what you really want to say is:

"Only Hillary Clinton is ballsy enough to play the media this way on purpose."

[seabeyond]

6. hell no she doesnt care, she wouldnt be acting like this. 1st pres and leaving bad taste

in everyones mouth. she had a responsibility and she failed miserably

[tabasco]

7. Hillary doesn't care about Democratic chances in the general election.

She will only release her tax and White House records if she is the nominee.

WHAT IS HILLARY HIDING FROM DEMOCRATIC VOTERS?

It looks like Hillary puts her own power grab above the interests of the party too.

[saracat]

10. What nonsense. So Hillary should think all women are perfect? Should she defend Rice then/ You would

scream worse than you do over your imaginary endorsement of Mccain.Perhaps you want Obama to find all black people perfect?

[1776Forever]

13. This is what we get when the "I" of Hillary shouts louder the the "We" of Obama!

Do you see the twist in this? I do! Those of us who can see the real picture before us can see why Ms. Power lost her temper. It is because Hillary Clinton doesn't know when to stop!

A Woman in Charge -- Hillary's Disturbing Secrecy Problem

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/a-secr ...

(snip)

But when it comes to the issue of secrecy and an administration operating in the shadows, there's an argument to be made that the candidate least likely to turn on the lights is Hillary Clinton. Her lifelong commitment to secrecy is one of the main themes of Bernstein's book.

"Hillary Rodham Clinton has always had a difficult relationship with the truth," writes Bernstein. "She has often chosen to obfuscate, omit, and avoid. It is an understatement by now that she has been known to apprehend truths about herself and the events of her life that others do not exactly share."

Or, as Bernstein summed it up on the Today Show, "This is a woman who led a camouflaged life and continues to."

14. How did she play the victim card and manipulate the media

to cause Power's resignation?

[greyghost]

20. Great question.

[surfin]

15. I call her slick hilly and she loves to hurt women especially little girls

Remember how she attack the 12 year old girl and protect the rapist. Evil. Then for months she has been saying she will release her tax returns for her buddy John McCain and the repubs but dems cannot see them to make a decision on Queen slick hilly. Just the facts.
