Hillary Clinton explains her greatest accomplishment (2014)
At the "Woman of the World Summit". Did you know that there was one? She was asked a pretty straight forward question ... from a moderator from "Capital City Project".
"When you look at your time as Secretary of State, what do you most proud of and what do you feel was unfinished, maybe you'd like to have another crack at on day?"
"I really see my role as secretary and, in fact, leadership in general in democracy, as a relay race. I mean you run the best race you can run and hand off the baton, some of what may go on to be finished, so when President Obama asked me to be Secretary of State, and I agreed, we had the worst economic since the depression, we had two wars, we had continuing threats um from all kinds of corners around the world that we had to deal with so it was a perilous time, frankly, and what he said to me was 'I have to be dealing with the economic crisis. I want you to go out and represent us around the world and it was a good division of labor 'cause we needed to make it clear to the rest of the world that we were going to get our house in order, that we were going to stimulate and grow and get back to positive growth and work with our friends and partners so, I think we did that. I'm very proud of the stabilization and the really solid leadership that the administration provided, ah, but I think,"
She still hasn't answered the question. Do you want to know why? She didn't accomplish anything and everything was left unfinished.
"able to deal with things like Ukraine, ah, because we're not so worried about a massive collapse in Europe and China, trying to figure out what to do with their bond-holdings and all the problems we were obsessed with. I think we really restored American leadership, in the best sense, that well, once again, people began to rely on us and to look at us as setting the values, setting the standards, I just don't want to loose that because we have a dis-functional, political situation in Washington. And then, of course, a lot of particulars but I am finishing my ... [book]".
So, based on what she said, what did she accomplish as the Secretary of State? There's a long list of disasters left behind this secretary of state ... Egypt, Libya, the beginnings of Syria, Russia, China, and the rise of communism in our own hemisphere. Today we're supposed to embrace communism.
She doesn't know what she accomplished because ... she didn't accomplish anything. Listen for yourself.
