I honestly don't think that hillary will be completely in charge of foreign policy. susan rice, one of BHO's 300 foreign policy
advisers during the campaign, and new ambassador to the UN, will report directly to him, and not to hillary. rice will backdoor
hillary until she resigns in protest, but having hillary as S0fS for a short period of time will get the PUMAs on board, at least
as long as obama needs them.
susan rice must be one of the most hysterical and shrill people I have ever seen screech at me from my TV.
Clinton pledges to boost foreign aid
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton pledged Friday to overhaul U.S. foreign aid programs to increase assistance and give civilians a greater role in its delivery. But she warned that selling the public on the idea would be hard in troubled economic times.
"I believe in development and I believe with all my heart that it truly is an equal partner along with defense and diplomacy" in advancing foreign policy goals, she told a crowd of several thousand employees of the U.S. Agency for International Development at the agency's headquarters.
An advocate of what she calls "smart power" — combining diplomatic efforts with aid projects to promote democracy and improve America's image abroad — Clinton assured her audience that she would be making the case to give them greater authority and resources that during the Bush administration had largely shifted to the military.
"It is essential that the role of USAID and our other foreign assistance programs be strengthened, be adequately funded and be coordinated in a way that makes abundantly clear that the United States understands and supports development assistance," she said.
"I want to know from you what we need to do to make sure that USAID assumes once again the global leadership role you deserve it to have in the delivery of (aid)," Clinton said.

By gollly, just when the GOP completely breaks down as an opposition force, the Democrats manage to set up an administration so fraught with contradictions, cross-currents, and competing empires that unity of effort or even focus is impossible.

I hate to say this, but the GOP is better positioned with the loss of the white house. now, we can find our roots as the
dedicated opposition, which conservatives are always more comfortable with, and attack the preposterous policies that
are being promulgated by the moe/larry/curley-esque triumvirate of pelosi/reid/obama.
defending the mccain administration wasn't something I was looking forward to.

We will buy our supporters the way we buy our voters.
Once the liberals have control of the Treasury it is over. They do and it is.
