More Than Change

Over the last year I've gained a lot of respect for Hillary Clinton. I've never been a big fan of hers and in the 90s did not care for her much at all. In 2000 I had the chance to meet her while she was campaigning for her NY Senate seat. I left impressed with how well she stayed on topic-- it was just amazing.

Though she would never have been on my list of presidential hopefuls, I would have had no problems voting for her in 2008 had she been the nominee. Now her ability as Secretary of State to direct the foreign policy of the President has been nothing short of exemplary in my view. Yesterday's performance is case in point.



Also over on the sidebar (at least for now) there is a video of her response where she directly and correctly states that Dick Cheney is not a credible source of information. These are classic examples of the change that has been brought to America. But it's also indicative of just how left behind the GOP is. I'm not sure if they haven't fully come to terms with being tossed from office or if they are so indulged in their Fantasy World that they don't realize they aren't in power anymore. Talking points from Dick Cheney or any other incompetent Bush official no longer guide this country, and that's a wonderful sentence to write. Pence's reaction to Hillary's answer is all the proof we need.
