Clinton left behind!!!

[ksgrainman]

Hey I am all 'down' with bHO on this one. Why would he take such a nasty person along anyway. She couldn't even control her perv hubby while he was getting a knob job in the freaking next room. How in the world could she help bamy do anything overseas?

I wouldn't want to travel with her either!!!

Perfectly logical explanation as to why he left her behind. She recently broke her elbow in a fall. She has a cast on that arm.

It makes it quite difficult to fly overseas if you can't hang on to your broom.

but.... he KEEPS leaving her at home, well before her injury.
she was out front and center after being named to the position. in her position, she should be going on all these trips, but on most she is left at home. it is like she is being shut out.
i think he is threatened by her experience and intelligence and cutting her out rather than letting her do the job she is capable of doing (and i am no huge hillary fan). ridiculous.

It's never been a secert that he was the head diplomat. Why all the hoopla?

[sunshine]

why fill the position then, if you are not going to let that head of state do his/her job?
head diplomat? yeah, right. only in his own head.

I like Obama less than most of you, but I do think he needs to get out and meet all these leaders and start a relationship. He doesn't need to hide behind Clinton. Be patient, he is still honeymooning with his new job. Clinton has 3 /12 more years to do her job.

You talk like she's been locked up in the closet like the crazy aunt. That is just nonsense and the real purpose of the thread is what the GOP is known for. At this point this sort of stuff look like the local bully at the playground. Enjoy the gang Spanky.

typically, the Secretary of State travels with President on foreign travels. so far, Clinton has been left home when Obama has travelled to nine countries already.

she has wide public recognition the world over, as well as vast knowledge and experience.
it IS NONSENSE that she is not being used to her potential and is fading in to the woodwork. That is the issue.

I haven't seen the Youtube to confirm a real fall (vs. mono-backpatting) but the official reason:

Recently, Clinton's absence on the world stage can be attributed in part to her broken elbow. She right away canceled plans to attend meetings in Italy and Greece after her injury from a spill last month.

The total absence of any official video begs the question: It this bullshit?
