Not really, stuff like that happens in foreign countries all the time.

But honestly, the US needs to get OUT OF BED with Saudi Arabia. Not further INTO bed.

But think about President Hussein Obama. Holy Allah. They'd aspirate their hookahs.

But that's part of the problem. I don't WANT her caring about my family. I want her leaving my family alone. That's what I want from pretty much any politician.

Even though half of the country is female, the U.S. is apparently not beyond the "politics is a man's business" mentality and it's really sad. Women such as Hillary have made positive contributions and shown themselves to be good leaders but it's still not enough to change the Neanderthal mentality that a U.S. president HAS to be male.

I'd vote for a green-skinned hemaphrodite if I agreed with his/her policies. I don't think she's getting picked on because she's a woman. She's getting picked on because she's just not a likable person, with a slimeball for a spouse, and intrusive, nanny-state policies that rub a lot of people the wrong way. She's insufferably condescending and pandering, too.

Um, I had posted a lot more than that but it was cut by the Mods. Understandable, since it was quite lengthy. You are welcome to go to the link provided and read the rest, which is why they provided the link.

She's a two-term senator who HASN'T been absent from the floor because he's spent the majority of his one term running for president.

There's a reason why they used to say Hillary ran the Clinton white house.
So, your response to my assertion that she is not a seasoned politician is that
1) she knows "movers and shakers" whoever they may be
2) she dealt with losing on health care
3) she has had good attendance

?????? Once again... no evidence she has "35 years" of qualified experience.

And teatime, I just read that article you posted. It's funny how the world apparently has respect for her "new internationalism" that calls for a "balanced use of military force, diplomacy, and social development" i.e. further expansionism of American ideals, which is contributing to all this terrorism we are so-called "fighting"! I, on the other hand, will not buy into her cons.
