Hillary Clinton is speaking now and she

[Skidmore]

is giving this situation a thoughtful analysis, emphasizing that a small group is responsible for the violence in Libya.

1. She is doing a great job to calm this situation down some, thank goodness.

[Marrah_G]

2. I am very hopeful that both she and the President will handle this well

Regardless of what the RW thinks, Americans do not want a President who will fly off the handle and start sending more of our sons and daughters to the middle east.

[trof]

3. She is brilliant.

If anyone can defuse the repugs on this, she can.

[MADem]

4. She is doing a fantastic job under terribly difficult circumstances. nt

[rurallib]

5. so glad she and Obama are in charge

the last thing the US needs right now is some goofy frat boy trying to be what he thinks his daddy was.

[tjdee]

6. Amazing remarks. Amazing.

Thank god, honestly, that we have good people in charge who aren't warmongers.

THIS is what we should be trying to protect when we vote this November.

[BeyondGeography]

7. Radiated strength and decency

[annabanana]

8. Excellent statement.

She is a stellar Sec'y of State.

[Whisp]

9. she's not very good at reading a teleprompter

[gkhouston]

15. Hey, she kicks ass at texting. What more do you want?

[powergirl]

10. I am so proud of her and the State Department n/t

[Jennicut]

11. She is handling this exactly the way it should be handled.

Mittens should take notes. And this was one of her people. She has the right to be extremely upset but she also knows she must be calm and collected.

[GeorgeGist]

12. A small group was responsible for 9/11.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Nothing wrong with that.

[barbtries]

13. i was late to work and got to listen to BBC News on NPR

what i understand is that there were protests going on outside the embassy over this terry jones film trailer (which reportedly has an actor portraying Mohammed which is blasphemous), and a terrorist group took advantage of the situation to attack the embassy. also that Libyan security forces (i gather) gave up on trying to stop them because they were overpowered.

is this how Hilary is portraying the event? thanks

[hifiguy]

14. I am very thankful that adults like Sec. Clinton

and the POTUS are in DC right now. People who THINK before speaking or acting.

16. +1000. n/t
