Secretary "Conflict of Interest" is going to make life miserable for Pres BO!


Hillary Clinton didn't get a lot of questions about her husband's cash last week.

Apparently, she will this week.

We understand that Sen. Cornyn of Texas is not happy with the Clinton duo:

"Republican Sen. John Cornyn may hold up the nomination of Hillary Clinton to become secretary of state if his concerns about foreign donations to her husband's foundation are not resolved, a spokesman for the Texas senator said on Monday.

"Senator Cornyn is a strong proponent of complete transparency and has fought for as much throughout his time in office.

He is keeping all of his options on the table," said his spokesman Kevin McLaughlin in an email reply to Reuters, when asked if Cornyn could block Clinton's nomination."

Can somebody stand up and answer a simple question:

How can our Secretary of State be married to a man who is soliciting money from country after country?

Again, we are talking about our Secretary of State, our primary diplomat!

It does not add up!

You gotta love Christopher Hitchens's take on Hillary Clinton being our next Sec of State:

"But does a contribution to Bill Clinton's foundation get you any traction with Sen. Clinton, at least in her political and official capacity? Let's see.

A recent story in the New York Times managed to begin with some very crisp and clear and fact-based paragraphs:

An upstate New York developer donated $100,000 to former President Bill Clinton's foundation in November 2004, around the same time that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton helped secure millions of dollars in federal assistance for the businessman's mall project.

Mrs. Clinton helped enact legislation allowing the developer, Robert J. Congel, to use tax-exempt bonds to help finance the construction of the Destiny USA entertainment and shopping complex, an expansion of the Carousel Center in Syracuse.

Mrs. Clinton also helped secure a provision in a highway bill that set aside $5 million for Destiny USA roadway construction.

Why should anyone doubt, then, that in small matters as well as in large ones, the old slogan from the 1992 election still holds true?

As Bill so touchingly put it that year, if you voted for him, you got "two for one."

What the country—and the world—has since learned is a slight variation on that, which I would crudely phrase as "buy one, get one free.""

You gotta love these Clintons!

How in the world can our Secretary of State be married to a guy who is running around asking for money?

This is not about party or ideology.

This is about ethics and common sense! Of course, ethics and common sense have not always been high on the Clinton.
