Hillary’s Defense – I Was Just Following Orders

Hillary admits Obama’s foreign policy is a disaster. You know Hillary, that is not a very good idea. Politically. Even if it is the truth.

A new idea is taking hold in response to criticisms of Hillary Clinton based her tenure as Secretary of State—that the decisions were Obama’s and not hers. Trump said in his acceptance speech Hillary Clinton had been put “in charge” of U.S. foreign policy when she was appointed Secretary of State. “Trump wrong again,” the Washington Post’s Josh Rogin tweeted. “Hillary Clinton was never ‘in charge’ of U.S. foreign policy. If so, she would have done a lot of things different.”

Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, meanwhile, insisted on CNN this morning that a cabinet member wouldn’t go against the president, or they wouldn’t be a cabinet member much longer, thus answering why Clinton was not in any way responsible for any global instability today.

That’s not quite how it works. Cabinet members are supposed to advise the president, not simply agree with them.

People who don’t agree with the boss resign over major differences. If they have any integrity at all.

That gives you two choices. Either she agreed with Obama or she has no integrity. There is of course the possibility that it is both.
