Hillary's approval ratings are quite high. In fact, I'm sure they're much higher than George W. Bush's approval ratings.
Notice that the same people who hate Hillary also hate Obama, and probably hate all Democrats. My guess is that they're not very stable people.
You have to be kidding. Is its Bush's afult the only thing liberals can point to when they have failures?If so it a good reason we need to get rid of those who can't lead and only fail and have excuses.
At the embassy, Chen said he came under tremendous pressure from American officials—“not those from the embassy but others “—to leave the diplomatic facility as quickly as possible. From the very beginning, he said, the assumption was that he would stay in China. “I had no information, I got no phone calls from friends, I was isolated,” he told me, his voice trembling. “Then I heard about the threat that my wife would be sent back home to Shandong if I didn’t leave the embassy. So I left.”
If you read the story you'll see that Mr. Chen's wife was tied up and beaten after he left the embassy and was in the hospital.
Somehow I doubt Jon Huntsman would have blundered away this man's life.
What an embarassment this woman is. Clearly out of her depth, bleating shallow feminist craopla every chance she gets, while the Chinese make her look like a fool.
Remember this story when she comes asking for -- make that demanding -- your vote for President in 2016...
Maybe three straight incompetent females in a row at State are sufficient...
The president has overall responsibility for the foreign policy of the United States. If you don't like the three female Secretaries of State, then blame Clinton, Bush and Obama.
Didn't Hillary's hubby, Bill make the Marines go in and take the boy who was here from Cuba and ship him back? Seems like it's happening again. If the commies tell them you better do as we say, then they do. Sad.
Apparently not too many on these boards do and that's certainly understandable. I've been trying to figure out why what happens to this guy is such a bg deal. The government is concerned. The media is concerned. I just don't see what the big deal is about. Why make such an issue about it and make it sound like what happens to him is so important to our government and China's. Who cares? China has thousands of dissidents who get beaten and jailed and get pushed around. China's a crappy country. Its a shame but thats communism for you. I feel bad for the guy. I feel bad for all of them. But how did this guy rise from complete obscurity just a month ago to become a major pawn in some kind of trumped up game of chess between two superpowers? Why do they want us to care?
Let me guess.... he gets released and Obama declares it a major political coup and we're all supposed to be impressed with what a great leader he is. Or the guy gets arrested and tossed in prison and Obama is then made to look weak and unable to handle world affairs. No matter what happens it doesn't matter because the poor guy is completely irrelevant. I don't care what happens to him. I'd like him to be released or at least not abused but its not like he's any more or less important than anybody else in China that hates their oppressive government. Why single him out above the thousands of others just like him?
This just seems a big to do over absolutely nothing and the media is going hand in hand along with the government to try to make us care. Well, I don't care. And I suspect the majority of americans don't either.
The USA is wiretapping citizens without warrants, assassinating US citizens on the President's word alone with no judicial oversight, imprisoning US citizens without trial for 5 years, political elites are able to break laws without consequence, the FBI entraps citizens with plots they come up with and fund.
.....and China is a crappy country because of Communism....LOL
AP is reporting Chen has fellowship at an American Univ and the China Govt looks like they will allow he and family to come to the US. FOX already spinning and trying to save some Romney face.
