Friday was Hillary Clinton’s final day at the State Department. As we’ve all been reminded, over the past four years she’s traveled 956,733 miles to 112 countries in order to conduct 1,700 meetings with world leaders. While consuming 570 airplane meals. It’s exactly what you would have expected her to do. This is the woman who ended her career as a U.S. senator by announcing: “I’ve had a lot of fun. Eight state fairs, 45 parades, 62 counties, more than 4,600 events across the state.” And then, of course, there was the race for president, in which she campaigned through ...

Nice comments but severely flawed by mutual admiration. Facts: Hillary was the CEO of the State Department and it screwed up for a year on security in Benghazi, Libya including an . The screw up caused the murders of 4 American heroes on 9-11 including an Ambassador Chris Stevens. Her comments to the Board of Directors and shareholders [Congress and the American people]: "What difference does it makes." Answer: All the difference in the world. History will be her judge.

Hillary Clinton:
"There are some people in politics and in the press who can't be confused by the facts," she said. "They just will not live in an evidence-based world. And that's regrettable. It's regrettable for our political system and for the people who serve our government in very dangerous, difficult circumstances."
At the same time, Clinton said she refused to be "discouraged by the fact that they are never going to accept the facts and the limitations of the facts." She added that "you have to get up every day and work to do best you can and communicate that to the vast majority of fair-minded Americans whether they're in Congress, in the press or in the public."
Carmine, she had nothing to do with the decisions the murderers made. You are not of a sane mind when it comes to Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi!
Jeff I've always admired Mrs. Clinton throughout her public life. I wish she would have won the presidency in 08, none on either side were as good, in my opinion. But the Libya deal will be a part of her legacy and will leave a stain on her career. None of us can predict an event like that, especially in the Mid East, but it happened on September 11th, and anyone that believed from the beginning that the cause of that disaster was due to a video is very naive and shouldn't be trusted to hold any leadership role.
Sorry to inform you Carmine and Chuck, but the only people that are judging Hillary negatively are the ones that wouldn't vote for her in the first place i.e. the dwindling Fox Noise viewers.
If you believe the Benghazi tragedy is going to tilt swing voters to an opponent of hers, you're living in a dream and denial world.
Which place just got bombed on her last day? What difference does it make, as Hil would say. Was that caused by a movie to? Now with the ultimate useless dope John Forbes Kerry in charge, Hillary will really look great and 2016 is hers if she wants it.
@bf1lv: We all judge people as we se fit. Just goes to show you how much you know. Dwindling Fox news? LOL, highest rated cable news network in the world. More viewers than all main stream media combined. You really don't have a clue do you?
