She's really been fantastic and I really enjoy reading about her work.

6. Except on Honduras. But generally excellent.
And I still think that her first SCOTUS appointee after being elected prez in 2016 should be Barack Obama.

7. Hillary gets an A+ from me for her SOS work.
Edited on Thu Aug-06-09 04:45 PM by TexasObserver
And I've been so proud of the way she has not taken the bait from all those trying to bait her. Like the way media have been using Bill's trip to North Korea as a line to suggest Hillary has been overshadowed. That's ridiculous. Who do they think put all this together? Hillary clearly made this happen. She let Bill and Barack get the spotlight, while she set it up.

Anyone who thinks the trip was done without Hillary's 100% backing is ill informed.

9. I was a Hillary voter during the primaries and I think she's doing a terrific job.
We have a wealth of riches in our party.

12. At last this brilliant woman has an arena sufficiently expansive
Edited on Thu Aug-06-09 10:59 PM by tblue37
to allow her to fully exercise her considerable talents. I am glad Obama recognized what an asset she would be to his team and invited her aboard.

I didn't support Hillary in the primaries, either, and to be honest, I was disappointed in the way she ran her campaign against Obama, but she has been a terrific SOS, and she seems so happy in that role, too, as if she finally feels she is accomplishing something commensurate with her real talents and ambitions. Have you noticed how she beams and glows in all her pictures these days?

(BTW, Obama wasn't my first choice either, though I am very happy now that my first choice--Edwards--didn't take the nomination! I like Obama, but I do wish that he were a more populist, leftwing president, and less of a corporate-friendly centrist.)

13. I wish she was covered more on the news. Makes Obama look like he has
a big and confident and brilliant ship of state behind him in the executive branch.

15. The SOS post is a brilliant use of her rock-star status.
She's already a far better SOS than she ever was a senator.

17. Well, I don't even have to say who I voted for in the primaries.
Hillary is doing a great job at State, but then again, I always thought that she would do a great job in the White House.
