Last Sunday, May 31, on the first anniversary of the fateful RBC meeting that was the beginning of the DNC's formal machinations to divest Hillary of all party support for the presidential nomination, while many of us PUMAs found ways to commemorate that dark day, Hillary left D.C. at 7 a.m. and flew to sunny El Salvador for the first of four days of meetings with OAS leaders on issues of hemispheric security, economy, and membership for Cuba. The itinerary published by the State Department outlined only this Central American trip.
She spent two days in El Salvador, is rumored to have made a side trip to Havana to get some assurances from that government of compliances with her demands (and ours) for democratization prior to the vote on Cuba's future association with the OAS, and proceeded to Honduras for the conference itself. The vote was held yesterday afternoon. The OAS nations voted to allow Cuba's readmission, but Hillary, the spearhead of the hardline demands for human rights in Cuba was not there to cast her vote! How could that be?
News outlets failed to point out that even though this had not been planned , or the plan had not been made public, she was whisked back aboard HillForce One and flown to Egypt to be present at Obama's Big Speech to the Muslim World, i.e. she did not leave of her own volition; she did not skip out on her duty to vote, she had been summoned.
There are whispers that Obama is not necessarily as popular in the Arab world as MSM would have us believe. There are those who say she had to divert her trip there because without her support he would have little or no credibility. I don't know about that.
When Hillary decided to accept SOS, of course she knew she would be serving "at the pleasure of the President." She also knew she would have to resign her Senate seat. Among the several names that were kicked around as possible successors, one who openly pursued the post, was Fran Dresher, aka The Nanny. She was not named, as we know, but when I look at the picture below, I feel validated in thinking that Hillary has somehow fallen into Fran's role here. She looks like the nanny who had to be there for the 5th grader's play or speech when his own mom, Nancy Pelosi, could not be.
She's sitting there as if she is going through the speech in her own head - ready to prompt. She also has that resigned look of the girl who had a hot date she had to cancel due to this emergency coverage. The worst part is that today was Dorothy Rodham's 90th birthday, and Hillary could not be with her because she had to babysit.
The next leg of the trip, in fact it is where the POTUS party now has landed, is Germany. Obama's staff has succeeded is completely pissing off the Germans by refusing to cooperate with some suggestions they made for this visit. He refused a photo op with Angela Merkel and furthermore the GM negotiations between his administration and German leadership deteriorated so badly that the most recent story is that Angela Merkel no longer wants to speak with him at all and refuses to speak with anyone but Hillary.
No one is saying whether or not the SOS is in Germany tonight, but I suspect she is or soon will be. A four-day trip extended to six and counting. If she is there, it points to Obama's complete ineffectiveness on the international stage - a meltdown of his confidence there, and his inability to function as "The Leader of the Free World."
President Truman famously said "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!" Obama, the 5th grader, should step aside and allow the grown-up to repair the damage of the past administration as well significant damage he himself has done to international relations and domestic situations. He should resign, admit to his incompetence and so should Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi. They should all get out of the damn kitchen and let Hillary make us all some breakfast. She makes good soft scrambled eggs. I'll eat that!
