      I love how PBO exudes genuine delight in meeting all kinds of people. He values everyone, a quality that babies, children, the elderly, Veterans, homeless people, workers, educators, professionals, unemployed, the elite, and even world leaders appreciate. People eagerly try to make contact with him vs other leaders that walk by people without noticing them while putting on a show of warmth with those they deem are worthy of their time and effort especially if they can get a photo op out of it.

      Maybe, I was listening to another speech. I did not get that from her speech.

        Neither did I COS. I listened very carefully and she talked about a two state solution for Israel and Palestine and about proceeding forward on the engagement with Iran, while always being cautious.

        How disgusting that that need apply to members of POTUS’ own government, some of whom are the biggest threat to our democracy and well-being.

    This is an excellent article by Trevor LaFauci on The “People’s View” on why HRC is NOT a hawk on foreign policy. Please take a few minutes to read it.

        This is the EW post my friend put on FB. It had millions of comments before the posting and the number was going up every second I was reading it. There were many in agreement, but upon reading some of the comments I became scared about the number of EW haters and Trump lovers that were posting. I hope it did not represent the general population thoughts, if so we are really in trouble.
