Marginalized

It is no surprise that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would be a bit testy when asked by a reporter about her husband's trip to North Korea. Diplomatically the trip served no purpose but it stroked the ego of their little pot-bellied dictator and that is what he wanted. The result was the release of two female reporters - whose business in NK for the Gore is still a bit murky. But you know what they say, "Stupid is as Obama does." Whoops I meant - oh heck, it's the same either way. Anyway, back to Hillary, since becoming Secretary of State under the Obama's regime she has been pushed off to the side and sent off on meaningless jaunts around the world, like this current one to the Dark Continent. Her multi-city trip to the deepest, darkest fourth world has absolutely no diplomatic significance. It is just the Obama tossing a bone to the home of his ancestors and getting Hillary out of the country while the "boys" take care of the real business of mucking up our foreign policy. It boils down to this, by marginalizing Hillary and sending her off on meaningless trips around the world - I hear the next place will be to Samoa for a head-hunter's ball - it pushes her political career into the toilet - figuratively and literally - she is in Africa after all. As a result, her chances of being on the presidential ballot in 2012 diminishes with each trip to another third(4th) world trash hole. So, to paraphrase Krauthammer, "Sure she's upset, she's in Kinshasa!"
