Rear view mirror question: Sec.of State....... Hilary or Obama?
Another way of looking at the present occurred to me. I was a Clinton supporter in 08 but got with the Obama campaign when H. bowed out.

Had things been reversed in the election outcome, in your opinion knowing what you know, who would make the better head of the State Dept, H or O?

4. I think you could swap the two and nothing would change but style.
There's a reason the corporate media unanimously pronounced those two the only "viable Democratic candidates" before a single primary vote had been held.

5. A choice between two 3rd Way Neo-libs is no choice at all.

8. I think Hillary is a great Sec of State and would have been a great president. I am not sure
Obama would have been a great Secretary of State however.

9. Yep
I agree, Hill has done a good job at State, so it follows IMO who would have been the better potus.

12. I hope you forgot the sarcasm flag
She insured Israel got it's free pass, and helped grease the wheels for libya. It's one thing to wish Hill won, but do NOt try to sell her as any less right wing than Obama.
