LA Times: Obama 'Close' to Firing Hillary Clinton (Iran, state, voters)

[uggabugga]

However, late last week, the Los Angeles Times acquired a statement from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel stating that Secretary Clinton was on 'thin ice.' Most troubling to the White House have been several statements pertaining to US foreign policy which were not cleared by the White House. One was a statement in which Clinton stated that she "hoped democracy would triumph" in Iran.

well, we certainly don't want our secretaries of state to hope for triumphs of democracy, now do we?

I though Obama hired Hillary to appease his female voters? This wouldn't make his voters then very happy.

She probably has ideas of her own. That's dangerous.

I think Bill wouldn't be too happy either. And he still has influence in high places... Bam may be overstepping his boundaries here. He somehow thinks he's invincible because "I am the President". He could be brought down just a little, narcissists need that every now and again. Senator DeMint not the only one who wants to see this guy's "waterloo".

Considering she is the smartest woman on earth, it must be because she is a woman.

I guess, when you think of it, I would expect a man to make a better informed decision than a woman anyway.

No. President Obama is not even thinking about firing Sec. of State Clinton.

He could not fire her. He would lose half the democrats who reluctantly voted for him. Then his ambitous aganda will be toast.

When gifted with the smartest President () and Sec. of State (), there is bound to be friction.

The two are Marvel Comic worthy smart.
