ROY: TOTUS won’t listen to Hillary on Foreign Affairs…

HRC's New Office: the Harry S Truman Building in Foggy Bottom

If only corruptocrats had not selected TOTUS, but sadly they did.  I was so glad Hill got out of the Senate before the DISASTEROUS Stimulus and other spending bills came down, now I am hoping she isn’t tarred with the D’oh brush of TOTUS’ mistakes on foreign policy….

Rumours on the Yard are of a definite split in approach, something we Hill primary supporters knew based on TOTUS’  dove like stance and seeming desire to embrace dictators of all ideological stripes without precondition as we saw in the primaries, here is the ROY from Chris Stirewalt at WashingtonExaminerBlogs

…Clinton, who famously said, “Barack Obama, you are naive if you think you can sit down with people like Ahmadinejad in Iran or Chavez in Venezuela,” has not followed the president’s lead so willingly as the regimes in Iran and Venezuela have been flexing their muscles.

On Iran, Clinton confidantes let it be known to the New York Times that the former first lady was one of the voices urging Obama not to wait a week to summon his indignation over the crackdown in Tehran. The White House dismissed any differences, but the Times like was perhaps the start of an effort for Clinton to cast herself as the more realistic, more grownup voice on foreign policy.

On Honduras, though, the president acted fast to denounce the moves by the country’s supreme court and legislature, calling the expulsion and impeachment of the Chavista President Manuel Zelaya was “not legal.”

Clinton, on the other hand, withheld legal judgment and said that the situation evolved into a coup, but didn’t start as one.

Insiders say Clinton wants to get Zelaya to agree not seek an unconstitutional vote to extend his power, a la Chavez, as a condition of the U.S. backing his return to power. While Obama, who recently restored U.S. diplomatic relations with the Chavez’s regime, seems to be looking for the solution that will least upset the tenuous relationship between America and the Chavista governments in Latin America.

…When the president offered the domestic partners of same-sex federal employees limited benefits to quell a riot among gay activists that was and is threatening to limit the president’s fundraising clout, it came three weeks after someone at the State Department had leaked Clinton’s intention to offer more expansive benefits to her gay employees.

Clinton ended up waiting for Obama to make his peace offering to put the plan into place, but her move and the leak put him in a much more difficult situation with a constituency that favored Clinton last year.
I think we can expect more differences to emerge as Clinton solidifies her control at State — where I am told that she is hugely popular — and the President keeps fumbling on foreign policy….

Any other moderate Dems out there do not put faith in 2012 primaries, TOTUS has total DNC control, in Chicago no less, and they have appointed race baiting James CLyburne D-SC to help ‘make the caucuses more fair’. OMG AS IF!! He means replace those pesky primaries ACORN cannot steal with more of those nice caucus things they did so well stealing, Frakkers…
