Krauthammer makes witty and quite accurate point regarding Hillary's 'success' as Secretary of State being entirely an invention of the media - she was at best useless at State, at worst a disaster [Benghazi] - but the media of course will have none of it because, well, they managed to get Obama elected despite a resume utterly lacking in substance so lying about Hillary's qualifications is no big challenge - but Krauthammer makes the clever point that Hillary was so bad as Secretary of State that she even managed, regarding Keystone, to piss off Canada, the nicest country in the world and without much question America's closest and most reliable ally. That's a good one - the GOP nominee should use it - it's short, sweet, gets a laugh and is bang on as a criticism.
All humor aside though, as I've said before, this abject denial by the left wing media and would be intelligentsia about the harsh reality of Obama's foreign policy, this constant reaching for the glasses rose colored in order to protect and preserve their favored candidates and ideological pretensions, is a deeply troubling thing - and if it carries over to Hillary, which it already has viz her record as Secretary of State, that's gotta lead to something bad - the dynamics of foreign policy are not kind to those living in denial of the dangers and threats swirling round them - these chickens have got to come home to roost and I'm really dreading that the day they do is gonna be an unpleasant day indeed.
[although, we're calling it denial on the part of the left - but more accurate to say agreement? I've been saying all along that Obama's deliberate foreign policy intentions are to significantly reduce the strategic profile of America and reel in the Pentagon's budget - there's a deliberate goal here of shrinking American power - it's hid behind superficial paens to multilateralism and cooperation etc etc, but the real goal is to emasculate American power and turn the money saved towards the welfare state - and in that sense it's less denial on the part of the left when it comes to Obama's foreign policy and more I think agreement - a grotesquely naive and delusional agreement, sure, but not just simply politically motivated denial - this is actually the misguided nonsense they believe in]
