Why is Hillary laughing?

By Doug Powers • April 9, 2009 03:02 PM

Hillary Clinton was commenting about the situation concerning the so-called “Somali pirates,” and during her remarks she let loose with a “let’s change the subject” laugh that she hasn’t made since a reporter spotted a cheerleader under Bill’s podium back in ‘93.
Here’s the video.


Michelle Malkin Why is Hillary laughing?

So, we are facing an international crisis in which Americans are held hostage, and our secratary of state is laughing about it and finds it funny, while our Usurper in Thief has yet to comment about it. The two things Joe Biden was right about were uttered during the V.P. debates. He said the administration would be tested with an international crisis, and they may not do so well at first, so we need to stick with them.

Well, an Iranian-American is being held in Iran, Iran is developing nukes and thumbing their noses at America, North Korea is launching rockets, and now a ship has been seized and Americans are held hostage. Our so called president is not doing or saying anything about the ship and our secretary of state is laughing about it. The so called president is sucking up to Iran, has not been tough with North Korea, has gone on foreign soil in a continent which has been liberated by Americans and said America has a history of arrogance.

I say they're being tested and they're failing.

Obama wansts to compare himself to Lincoln and to Reagan, both of which were in the presidency legally and constitutionally by the way.

This is interesting. Compare Obama's reaction of a hijacking (doing or saying nothing while his secretary of state laughs about it and changes the subject) to President Reagan's reaction to a hijacking.

Achille Lauro Hijacking

Background: Four heavily armed Palestinian terrorists in October hijack the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro, carrying more than 400 passengers and crew, off Egypt. The hijackers demand that Israel free 50 Palestinian prisoners. The terrorists kill a disabled American tourist, 69-year-old Leon Klinghoffer, and throw his body overboard with his wheelchair. After a two-day drama, the hijackers surrender in exchange for a pledge of safe passage. But when an Egyptian jet tries to fly the hijackers to freedom, U.S. Navy F-14 fighters intercept it and force it to land in Sicily. The terrorists are taken into custody by Italian authorities. Counter- terrorist units from the U.S responded, including elements of Delta Force and SEAL Team Six, however the situation was resolved before an assault became necessary.

She's a first class idiot.

She's a first class idiot.

Understatement of the year. But as low as she is, Obama is yet lower.

Hillary and Bill. little. pathetic, impotent. caricatures of their former selves. Obama did in less than 3 months what the republicans couldn't do in sixteen years.
