Madeleine Albright campaigns for Hillary Clinton in Iowa

http://wcfcourier.com/elections/caucuses/madeleine-albright-campaigns-for-hillary-clinton-in-iowa/article_15b516a3-3077-516b-a54c-2c41a27ab93f.html

“There are not a lot of people that have the brains that can deal with both domestic and foreign (policy), and she can do that,” she said. “I don’t think anybody is better prepared to be president than she is.”

Albright also credited Hillary with helping her become secretary of state.

“A lot of people said a woman couldn’t be secretary of state because the Arab countries wouldn’t deal with a woman,” she said. “The Arab ambassadors at the U.N. put out a statement saying, ‘We’ve had no problems dealing with Ambassador Albright; we wouldn’t have any problems dealing with Secretary Albright.

“Apparently what happened, according to President Clinton, was that during that period Hillary would say to him: Why wouldn’t you name Madeleine. She is most in touch with your views, expresses them better than anyone else and, besides, it would make your mother happy.”

group, I imagine that there would be a swarm calling Albright a neocon, so of course she would campaign for HRC.

I am literally SO disgusted with some on DU right now that I see red.

I am pleasantly surprised that Madeleine has been out and about on the trail often for Hillary.
She is no young chick anymore but sure is on the go. Hope I have as much energy and good health when I am her age. She is also setting a good example --age does not matter (IMHO)
