Sen. Hillary Clinton

She wanted to be on her way to the Oval Office as the next U.S. president. Fate and Barack Obama had it otherwise.

Hillary Clinton, today, is before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in her confirmation hearing for Secretary of State. As a fellow senator, her reception is expected to be warm. But the issues she and the country are facing couldn’t be tougher.

Gaza. Iraq. Iran. Afghanistan. New powers. Old foes. And then there’s Bill Clinton and his web of ties.

This hour, On Point: We’re talking about Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, and listening in on her confirmation hearing.

You can join the conversation. What would your question be for Senator Hillary Clinton — soon to be, it appears, Madame Secretary? On Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Gaza, China, Pakistan?

Besides the huge mistake of Obama being president, Hillary Clinton being ANYTHING is an even bigger mistake. One of these days, sooner than later, American’s are going to realize what a terrible mistake was made in this election. Obama has already shown us that he doesn’t know what he is doing. Hillary is doing the same. What a mess!

As ridiculas it seems with the way things are going I’m going to have to agree with that last guy.I could be wrong,so dont take my word for it(just in case I am not reading the scripture right),but the bible says GOD gives us the leaders we deserve… Test of faith? Or did we really screw up somewhere down the line??? -Anyways cheers America…

Where have you people been the last eight years, this country is a mess because of bush and the other republicans in office at that time.This mess was not created over night it was created by an inept president (Bush)over the course of eight years and to expect it to be fixed in less than a year is foolish.No president is capable of fixing as many things that are wrong with this country (Lack of jobs,increase in the cost of living,being in a war that has no clear end insight.Just to name a few.)in less than a year I don’t care if it is democrat or a republican.

I don’t see Hillery Clinton going around the world appologizing for anything and everything and saying I was to young or some excuse why it is always some one elses fault. When is it time to stand up for America mister president.
