Where is Hillary Clinton on Paris attacks?

[mylye2222]

Her silence is not understandable.
But hey... she already took hef time to adress Ferguson. ...
Irresponsible given her nominee already designated position.

[Nye Bevan]

1. She is a private individual, currently not running for any office,

and has not announced an intention to run for any office. So you shouldn't necessarily expect her to make a statement on every current event.

[MohRokTah]

2. ^^^ This eom

[NBachers]

6. Nye sums it up pretty well

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

11. Have to agree. What would it buy her anyway to state the obvious, that it was a heinous act?

[yeoman6987]

3. Is she still Secretary of State? Who knew

A private citizen should not be expected to say anything if they don't want too. Once she announces her decision then she should be expected to give a comment, but not before. She is treated so unfairly. Nobody asking where is Governor O'Malley's comment. I wonder what is different about them????? Hmmm.

[HappyMe]

4. Meh.

Other than her saying that it's terrible, I don't know what her words would add to the tragedy.

[Renew Deal]

5. Do you think she's a suspect?

[mylye2222]

7. Hell no...

But her silence is not appropriate.

[Renew Deal]

8. How so?

She's not a candidate for anything. Tweet her and ask her what she thinks.

[bowens43]

13. of course it's appropriate

spouting of like some kind of jackass isnt.....

[HappyMe]

15. Expressing condolences

and sadness would be spouting off like a jackass?

[gwheezie]

9. If she doesn't say something soon

I'll think she was in on it

[Douglas Carpenter]

10. I'm pretty sure she is against it

[bowens43]

12. why should she have a stated opinion?

My opinion (also unstated) is as relevant hers at this point in time.

[hrmjustin]

14. Did our other possible candidates make statements?

[Calista241]

16. What could her position possibly be?

Does she really need to issue a press release that she is horrified and deplores terrorist attacks?

Does anyone here think she'll say she supports this kind of crime? Has Jeb Bush, Christie, Or Romney said anything particularly enlightening?

Lay off the woman for pete's sake. She's not running until she's running, and then she'll start telling you her opinions about shit.

[stevenleser]

17. I think you forgot the sarcasm tag.

Her opinion isn't going to be different from any western leader. She is a private citizen and is not a candidate for anything at this point.

Reaching for criticisms against her isn't going to help your cause.

[Myrina]

18. I didn't realize she was still Sec'y of State ...

... why should she issue a statement or have a public opinion?

[tularetom]

19. I don't like her either but this is ridiculous

It happened yesterday, FFS. What in the world can she possibly say that would have an impact either on events in Paris or on her personal political fortunes?

I will say this, when she does comment on it, I predict she will condemn the killing of the journalists.

[NCTraveler]

20. She supports them!!!!!!!

The silence is deafening. Well, only to jackasses.

Ferguson. Yeah!!!!! You got your Hillary Benghazi!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing responsible about her. First she supports cops in Ferguson by way of silence, now the attacks in Paris. Damn you are brilliant and insightful.

[BrightKnight]

21. The SoS (Kerry) is handling it well and she is staying out of his way.

Former Secretaries of State usually only speak when spoken to about current diplomatic issues.

[FSogol]

22. UNREC. She's a private citizen, not a nominee despite your hatred for her. n/t

[reddread]

23. I think she is somewhere negotiating the terms of her surrender

from a very weak position.

[treestar]

24. What was the deadline for how long she had?

Is there a prescribed time period?

Do we know she didn't say anything?
