I chuckled when I read in the Washington Post that Hillary Clinton will be reaching out to the Islamic world, "to restore the image of the United States in the Islamic world". What an emissary to represent "us"!
According to the article, Secretary Clinton will be traveling to Indonesian, one time stomping ground of Obama himself. We can only hope that Clinton won't need to dodge any hostile surface-to-air missiles or gunfire, as she did in Bosnia when she was covering international affairs for America…as a housewife.
Like Obama did in Germany, Clinton will apologize on behalf of the United States for something. With the Liberals, there is always a reason for the US to apologize.
Perhaps she will apologize for our treatment of Islamic citizens in the US. Wait. No story there, as we don't behead Muslims for living in America, as they do us when we travel unprotected to their countries, however harmless our motives. So it can't be our treatment of them.
Maybe Obama wants to export feminism. After all he has already exporting abortions, so why not introduce the Muslim world to all the tenets of the NOW Generation. If this is the case, then Obama has indeed picked the right poster child in Hillary Clinton.
What puzzles me, however is if Obama really wanted to reach out to the Islamic world, wouldn't he have picked a man? What about a Muslim man? From Muslim News:
"Middle Eastern governments shunned by the George Bush administration gave a cautious welcome to the new US President Barack Hussein Obama's pledge to reach out to the Muslim world, saying his policies needed to match his words."
Do Obama's policies match his words? Perhaps the first mistake for the Islamic world is believing Obama's words. Quoting Obama himself, "…they're just words".
Nevertheless, the first of many bad policy mistakes Obama made was selecting a neophyte, NOW-Generation woman as Secretary of State, and then beginning her tenure with the philosophically wrong premise.
Leave it to Obama to provide some nebulous term like "restoring America's image to the Islamic world", and send some poor loser out to preach "the message." Restore our image to what?
I'm not sure how far you would have to go back in Islamic history to find when they loved us 'infidels"? I would even settle for liked or tolerated. I am no student of the Quran, but I googled "Muslim love infidel", and I got back a lot of info [457,000 items] on why Muslims cannot love the infidel, and should actually kill the infidel. The fact is that the Muslim's have never loved the infidel, and they never will.
Sending Clinton as the envoy to restore America's image in the Islamic world is indeed "putting lipstick on the pig"...pun intended. Why didn't he send her over with bags of seasoned pork rinds with her as gifts? That's right, all the pork was used up in the $787B Obamulus von Porkulus.
Regardless Hillary Clinton will go over in the Muslim world about as well as pork sausages at a Muslim picnic. I'm beginning to think that "reaching out to the Islamic world" equates to what Bill Clinton did in "putting the First Lady in charge of health care". We all know how that turned out.
Here's the wrap:
Obama knows this is a suicide mission. Clinton is a kamikaze. What better way to marginalize Madame Clinton, than to send her on Mission Impossible?
Obama has no doubt that Clinton will be a dismal failure for reasons too numerous to discuss in one blog. But most importantly for Obama, she will be embroiled in turmoil, occupied his entire four years. Brilliant move, except for dealing with the real issues of the role of Secretary of State.
And as for "restoring America's image to the Islamic world", if they find us infidels now, how do you think they will find us after dealing with one of our NOW-generation women for four years?
That's my rant!

Obama is so crafty!
Here is the plan: Send Hillary to Muslim World and allow her to be kidnapped by some aged oil czar and pulled into his harem. He won't actually get to "know" her, but the other wives will certainly make sure that she submits to her new husband's every whim.
Meanwhile, Bill will be on the loose, feigning being upset one minute while chasing skirt the next.
MattK - You have a conspirator's mind, my friend. If I wasn't so concerned with the 3rd grader Obama might replace her with, I'd say, "good plan"!
DWalla
Yeah.. I'm sure they'll be really happy to see a woman showing up.
Sphere, when I was a kid we used to watch a children's show called, Wonderama. I can't help but think that we're now watching Obamadrama, a similar show which has its own twists and turns every week.
If things go a certain way, then come November 2010 they'll be a conservative House of Representative landslide, giving B.O. two years of headaches before he leaves office after just one term.
I can have hope now, can't I?
:-)
MattK - From this page to God's eyes! I think that is exactly what will happen as long as we don't allow them to cheat uncontested.
Big "O" is no dummy. He knew from the onset to keep all of his political enemies close. That way they are not running loose in the pig pen.
Biden, Clinton and he could have had Richardson all close. Because they are public figures the press will be where they go and he does not have to mess around with trying to find out where they are and what they are up to. The media will report their every move and in the case of Ol Biden his every gaffe.

Well, I tell you, Condalezza Rice she ain't and the world will see the difference between class and trash. LOL
Rose-Bud - You crack me up as usual, you poet you!

Cant wait for Thursday show. I need my conservative view. I'm so depressed this week, Nostim has me down.
SirRon - You are right yet again, and worthy of your knighthood! Folks, heed Sir Ron! :-)
Rose-Bud I could not agree more!! I had those thoughts so many times, as I watched Condelleza leaving her position. She is all class and Hillary is all....I will let you fill in the blank. I am sure it will be a culture shock to the Islamic community. I for one, will never forget the beheading they do to innocent people. The fact that O is sending a message to restore our image absolutely makes me sick to my stomach. Ummmmm... if anyone should be looking for their image to be restored, it might be the people who do such incredibly sick things to people, simply because they do not believe like them. I can only think that after he has seen all of the facts that are given to him, in his morning briefins, as a now standing president, that he must have a little peace, love, and cocaine on the brain, so he can not think straight. Those high school drugs he did may haunt all of us for years. Ugghhhh.....
One almost feels sorry for dear Hillary...
Nah never mind, couldn't happen to a nicer person.
It will be amusing to see the reaction she gets in the Muslim world.
Popcorn anyone?
Teresa, thanks for the comment. Very funny, and I have my popcorn!

About 100 students gathered at the presidential palace to express their discontent in the protest style du jour: throwing shoes at her, Hillary's picture.
Hillary reaching out and grabing a shoe.
supercandy
the Clintons already appeased Arafat, empowering that killer to kill more didn't make the Arab World happy...
isn't it funny, to have someone traveling around the world on Taxpayer money, costing us all MILLIONS in the trip, with her big 'eco' carbonated footprint, that she was just telling the big fat whopper about 'dodging sniper fire'?
as if anyone with a brain would trust a thing Hillary Rodham Clinton has to say.
Another great right on the money post.
Thanks Julie. You're doing great on your site as well!

Perhaps a sex change operation is scheduled and we haven't been informed yet.
Oh, come on guys...like you were expecting something different. Thus far, the Executive Office has been acting like the season premiere of "American Idol". You know, where all the untalented goofballs get their 15 seconds of fame.
I would love to believe this is all part of a Master Plan by Hope and Change Inc. but sadly I am thinking that Obama thinks he is enlightened and showing diversity by sending Her Shrillness overseas. It is apparent that Obama is not ready for prime time considering his actions over this month. His inexperience combined with his rush to be an ideologue will only result in another egg meeting face scenario.
At least he won't have to worry about having a shoe thrown at him cause when he is done taxing the hell out of us and devaluing the dollar to the point of the Filipino Peso....shoes will be too damn valuable to throw.
Great blog, my friend. I have add you to My Favorites and will now check in daily to see what you have written.
RobbieRob - Thanks for the add. And I like the analogy of American Idol auditions. That being the case, Obama is William Ho...yikes!
I really dont know why sending Hillary to the Muslim world stands as a man's job.
Dont you think there is any way this might work poditively?
@StandTall - Sure there are positives. Hillary will fail, that's a positive! The failure costs America nothing. Hillary's failure will reflect on Obama, and showcase that he's not worth the bait in a mouse trap!
As for your other point, I don't believe it's a man's job, per se, thus the sarcasm. The irony is that Muslims are not exactly "pro-woman", particularly in leadership.
Perhaps she'll leave with a few new 'shoes'. Might even get enough to pair?
@frmrDJ - You think they will "throw" them at her?! :-)
Heck, I hope she wears the traditional muslim garb as well, I'm growing tired of her face ;-) Might improve her realtionship w/ Bubba...said with 'cigar' in hand: "honey, let's do something spicy tonight, can you put on the burka?" mmm hmmm; bom chicka bow wow....besides, in the interest of liberal green-ism, paper bags are bad for the environment.
Let me get this straight, Obama is sending Hilary the most anti-male feminazi in government and she's going to woo over the most anti-woman religon? Gosh, I thought Rice was a joke. Sending that shrill hag to win over muslim country is akin to sending Bin Laden to win over the Christains in the beltway to radical Islam.
I wonder after she sees the evils these animals inflict on their women, the NOW will fight real misgynoists in the Middle East, or will they stick to their soft target men here who do the best for their women and just get abused for it.
opps, I mispelled misogynist, perhaps its because it repulse me so much.
OMG Hillary. Now that her pres campaign is over for good, she looks weary, really tired. Now she has to schlep around the world and pretend she loves her job.
I am truly so sick of this bunch of clowns... it seems like 4 years already instead of 4 weeks *whine*
I enjoyed this today Kevin, as usual you have this all thought out accurately.
Rosemary - You think she is tired now, just wait!
In spite of the inclination to put far too many political cliches in one blog (it looks too much like a "GOP sugar high").. I'm with you on your main point about Hillary as chief Stateman in Sharia-land..I totally dismissed Bush' notion that we're really interested in diplomacy, when he put a "Russian expert", FEMALE to represent US diplomacy when the Middle east was the designated "#1 challenge"..Let's face it, we're not going to reach out to the Mullah's with someone that they consider a second (third?) class citizen. They won't even shake a woman's hand! They'll consider America as arrogant. I guarantee that she'll get the "Where's Bill? Will he be joining us?" questions in thinly disguised snark...I remember Diane Sawyer interview with Ahmadinajad. He asked her why a female was asking such serious questions(!?)...This is the same problem that Hillary will face. It's THEIR ignorance and OUR challenge..The reality is that you have to reach folks where they live before you can introduce them to the, uh, real world (take note, GOP)....Anyway, I like your topic. It's something that the MSM would never touch and it's a legitimate issue. Well done.
@Truth - Have to feed the troops, and when the raw meat has all gone to the Libs, sugar is all I have!
Thanks for the comment, and I am sorry if that sounds cliche! :-)
"The failure costs America nothing." <-- I disagree. Sending Shrillary will simply show the muslim world even more weakness from us infidels. This will serve to embolden them, and further hurt our nation's image abroad (if that's even possible).
On a positive note though, maybe they'll keep her.
Just John, you may be on to something!
Mrs. Bill Clinton has the right credentials for working in a high level position of the Obama Administration; she was fired from her position as a staffer for the Watergate committee. Her supervisor, attorney Jerry Zeifman, refused to give her a letter of recommendation. He describes her as a “liar” and “unethical, dishonest lawyer.” Only the best and most ethical for the current administration. America deserves no less!
Chip, very funny comment, and so apropos!
