Well, looks like maybe Hillary is gonna stand up and be from the sidelines the president America needs at the moment since Obama is clearly incapable, unwilling or completely uninterested in being that president:
overall, she indicated that she considered President Barack Obama’s approach to foreign policy to be too cautious. Responding to Obama’s self-described foreign policy doctrine of: “Don't do stupid shit,” Clinton, who served as his top diplomat for four years between 2009 and 2013, said: “Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘Don't do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle.”
What she calls 'too cautious' is really just a polite way of saying 'too liberal' which itself is just a polite way of saying 'delusional' but as a liberal guess asking too much of her to say that - still, nice to hear someone on the left speak with at least a hint of common sense that's willing to see the world as the rather ugly thing it actually is - ludicrous as it seems, it's almost as if at this point Obama's foreign policy can be paraphrased as: America retreats, forswears its white privileged arrogance, and the void is filled by reasonable people coming together, talking nicely to each other and everything working out fine. The man is dangerously misguided and worse than that shows no sign of possibly reevaluating his flawed preconceptions. I'm no fan of Hillary, but someone of import on the left needed to stand up and say something.
