Quote of the Day: ‘I Broke My Elbow, Not My Larynx’…
Hillary, everyone warned you about being Obama’s lap dog as Secretary of State.U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday rejected suggestions she had been sidelined by President Barack Obama, her rival for last year’s Democratic presidential nomination.
With media reports swirling that Clinton’s influence has been usurped by the National Security Council, the top U.S. diplomat insisted she played an important role in crafting the foreign policy agenda.
“I really stay focused on the work that I do. I broke my elbow, not my larynx. I have been deeply involved in the shaping and implementation of our foreign policy,” she told reporters.
“I don’t really pay a lot of attention to what is said,” Clinton said of several commentaries speculating she was being sidelined.
Since she slipped and broke her elbow last month, Clinton has been forced out of the limelight, canceling two foreign trips and undergoing intense physical therapy.
On Wednesday, Clinton gave what the State Department billed as a major foreign policy speech at the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations, but she broke no new ground.
Now, that “The One’s” poll numbers are falling don’t you wish you were still in the Senate? And, available to challenge Obama in 2012 should he flame out after one term?

Day By Day by Chris Muir July 9, 2009 – Personal
Haha, Chris.We all know the LEFT is first on the scene with the politics of personal destruction. I mean it is from the Saul Alinksy playbook.
Remember Hillary Clinton did her senior thesis on Alinksy and she and Bill practiced the personal destruction attacks daily, hence the name Clinton Cabal, for those who joined with them.
Also, remember when the photo of Obama with him wearing the Muslim garb emerged during the Democrat primary campaign. This would have worked but the Clinton Cabal leaked it too early in the primary season.
Funny, but as Obama travels to Africa in the next week as President, I wonder if he will don the native costumes again?
Somehow, I doubt it.

Day By Day by Chris Muir June 27, 2009 – Becket, We Hardly Knew Ye
Day By Day by Chris MuirPresident Obama and his staff have controlled the MSM and its reporters since the beginning of his Presidential campaign. They all have rolled over for “The One.”Wasn’t this one of Hillary Clinton’s complaints in the Democratic Primary campaign?
It is not surprising now that Obama is attemptng to continue this media control while in the White House. And, what better way to do this then punish the reporters who dare question your policies and reward those who are the pure syncophants.
Get it?

Day By Day by Chris Muir June 26, 2009 – Empathy and Reality
So, after days of protests in Iran, the Obama Administration finally rescinds the invitations to Iranian diplomats to 4th of July parties at American embassies.Wow! This reminds me of Jimmy Carter’s boycott of the Moscow Olympics because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
Weak. Weak. Weak.
The United States said it has rescinded invitations to Iranian diplomats to attend July 4 parties at US embassies, following the violent suppression of protests in Iran.
“Unfortunately, circumstances have changed, and participation by Iranian diplomats would not be appropriate in light of the unjust actions that the president and I have condemned,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a cable to US diplomatic mission abroad.
Early this month, before Iran’s disputed June 12 presidential elections, Clinton had sent US diplomats instructions to invite Iranians to the Independence Day celebrations in a bit of “hot dog” diplomacy aimed at engaging Tehran.
But the administration has been heavily criticized for not acting decisively enough in condemning the Iranian regime in the wake of a bloody crackdown on anti-government protests.
The State Department said the new cable sent out under Clinton’s name directed the diplomatic missions “to rescind all invitations that have been extended to Iranian diplomats for July 4th events.”
“For invitations which have been extended, posts should make clear that Iranian participation is no longer appropriate in the current circumstances. For invitations which have not been extended, no further action is needed,” it said.
Has this been Hillary’s recommendation or did Obama come up with it on his own?
Criticism will continue to mount at the slowness of Obama to the burgeoning Iranian freedom movement in the Iranian streets.
In the meantime, do not forget the Chris Muir auction for our troops.

Day By Day by Chris Muir June 15, 2009 – Hillary Clinton, Immaculate Virgin
Day By Day by Chris MuirThe Obama Administrations’ handling of the transfer of Guantanamo Bay terrorists to Bermuda has created quite the Flap.Senior aides to President Barack Obama accompanied four Uighur prisoners as they were flown from Guantanamo Bay to the British colony of Bermuda, without the UK being informed, it was revealed yesterday.
In an escalating diplomatic row over the transfer of the former terrorist suspects, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed the transfer with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband in what was said to be an uneasy conversation. Privately Whitehall officials accused America of treating Britain, with whom it is supposed to have a “special relationship”, with barely disguised contempt.
One senior official said: “The Americans were fully aware of the foreign-policy understanding we have with Bermuda and they deliberately chose to ignore it. This is not the kind of behaviour one expects from an ally.”
I think Obama’s problem with the Brits started with giving the British PM Gordoen Brown DVD’s in the wrong format.
Isn;t it becomig obvious that Teleprompter “The One” is a rookie who has no idea on how to conduct foreign policy?

Hillary Clinton: United States May Relist North Korea as Terrorist State
Political cartoon by Michael Ramirez
Wow, this will show Kim Jong-Il that the United States means business.Concerned by North Korean behavior that she called “very provocative and belligerent,†Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in an interview aired Sunday that the United States was considering putting North Korea back on its list of state sponsors of terrorism, a clear signal that any slim hopes once held for improved relations had been dashed.
“We’re going to look at it,†Mrs. Clinton said in an interview recorded earlier for the ABC News program “This Week†when asked about returning Pyongyang to the list.
She suggested that international concern over North Korea had clearly sharpened following its recent nuclear and missile tests. She said that both China and Russia, which had balked earlier, seemed more ready now to increase pressure on North Korea. A strong sanctions resolution against the North would most likely emerge from the U.N. Security Council, backed by both countries, she said.
“What is going somewhere is additional sanctions in the United Nations — arms embargo, other measures taken against North Korea with the full support of China and Russia,†she said. “We think we’re going to come out of this with very strong resolution, with teeth, that will have consequences for the North Korean regime.â€
How stupid to think the United Nation’s resolutions mean a RAT”S ASS to the North Koreans. In the meantime, President Obama, Hillary’s boss, has already asked for cuts in national missile defense, including the installation of more ground based interceptors in Alaska.
Remember when President Bill Clitnon sent his Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to
visitappease Kim Jong-Il with a Michael Jordan autographed basketball?President Obama should immediatley reinstate the national missile defense budget and start equipping South Korea and Japan for an inevitable conflict.
Weakness in foreign policy from Obama and Clinton may start a war.

Day By Day by Chris Muir May 28, 2009 – Cackle Cackle
While President Obama is raising campaign cash for Dingy Harry Reid at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas and then runs out to Hollywood for a cool $4 Million, Hillary Clinton is left to North Korea.Under President Bush, Flap thought North Korea had negotiated away its nuclear weapons program and agreed to stop missile tests.Now, with an apparent disengaged Obama who has cut funds for national missile defense, North Korea pushes up the military alert for South Korea’s military as the North renounces a 50 year old plus armistice.
Obama is in denial.
North Korea is an imminent threat and Hillary’s cackles have NOT been effective.
Mr.President, you will not be able to deal with Kim Jong-Il via teleprompter and popularity in the polls.

Democrat Party and Hillary Clinton Major Donor Norman Hsu Convicted of Violating Campaign Finance Laws
In this undated photo released by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York, former top Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, left, poses with New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. Assistant U.S. Attorney Rua Kelly told the jury in Manhattan on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 that it will see photographs of the Hong Kong-born Hsu with famous politicians and will hear his former investors describe being pressured by Hsu to make political donations in their names that they would be reimbursed for
Norman Hsu, mega-Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton fundraiser has been convicted of violating federal campaign finance laws.Disgraced Democratic donor Norman Hsu was convicted this morning of illegally funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to top-tier political candidates including then-Sen. Hillary Clinton and now-President Obama.
A Manhattan federal court jury pronounced Hsu guilty on all four counts against him after less than three hours of deliberations over two days.
Hsu, 58, did not react to the verdict.
“I think he expected it because it was quick,” defense lawyer Alan Seidler said.
Seidler said the conviction was unlikely to add to the 30-year prison term Hsu faces after pleading guilty two weeks ago to running a massive $20 million Ponzi scheme.
Talk about a “CULTURE OF CORRUPTION.”
But, the Democratic POLS return the money and move on……..

Former Democratic Party Fundraiser Norman Hsu Pleads Guilty in Federal Fraud Case
Norman Hsu, 56, is escorted into a Redwood City, Calif., courtorom, Friday, Sept. 21, 2007. Hsu on Tuesday was charged with fraud and campaign finance violations in a case that prompted Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton to return hundreds of thousands of dollars in contribution
Norman Hsu pled guilty today to ten seperate federal fraud charges.Hsu, 58, entered his plea today in Manhattan federal court. In 1991, he pleaded no contest in California and was convicted of grand theft for stealing $1 million from investors in a scheme to buy and resell latex gloves. He failed to appear for sentencing and spent 15 years as a fugitive. He was re-arrested in 2007 and sentenced to prison by a California judge.
In the intervening years, Hsu raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Democratic candidates and party committees, including then-U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton, the Democrat from New York and former presidential candidate who is now U.S. secretary of state, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based research group.
Hillary Clinton and the numerous other Democratic POLS got offf easy in the Hsu case by simply refunding the money. However, the scrutiny of Democrat political donors has been enhanced and the media is no longer content with sitting back and not following the money.
