Obama Disputed Hillary Clinton's Credentials Before He Applauded Them

President-elect Barack Obama designated Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) to be his next secretary of state Monday, despite having spent much of the previous two years questioning her foreign-policy credentials.

Obama is just a typical policitician that will tell any lie to get into office. During the campaign Obama made the following statements about Hillary Clinton:

“It’s what’s wrong with politics today. Hillary Clinton will say anything to get elected,” Obama said in a January radio ad. “Hillary Clinton. She’ll say anything and change nothing.”

Obama’s campaign specifically said that the candidate didn’t need the advice of someone like Clinton, “someone whose ideas were more in line with those of President George W. Bush” than with Obama’s.

“Barack Obama doesn’t need lectures in political courage from someone who followed George Bush to war in Iraq,” the campaign said in a December 2007 statement.

Obama reinforced the sentiments of his campaign, saying that Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy wasn’t the change Americans wanted. “Real change isn’t voting for George Bush’s war in Iraq and then telling the American people it was actually voting for more diplomacy,” he said in March.

“The question is, what kind of judgment will you exercise when you pick up that phone,” Obama said. “In fact, we’ve had a red-phone moment. It was the decision to invade Iraq. Sen. Clinton gave the wrong answer.”

But now he makes these comments:

Obama praised Clinton’s credentials Monday, saying she would be able to advance America’s interests due to her knowledge of world affairs and familiarity with world leaders.

She is an American of tremendous stature who will have my complete confidence, who knows many of the world's leaders, who will command respect in every capital, and who will clearly have the ability to advance our interests around the world,” he said.

Obama said that his new foreign policy team, which will be led by Clinton, would change America’s foreign policy for the better. “I am confident that this is the team that we need to make a new beginning for American national security,” he told reporters at the announcement.

Obama called Clinton “a friend, a colleague, a source of counsel.”

How can we be expected to believe anything Obama says? How can you make such strong statements against someone and then praise them less than a year later. What other lies were told in the heat of the campaign. I guess we will find out soon enough.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Obama run on the promise to not be the typical politician that you described? Didn't he say he was going to rise above politics as usual? Wasn't he the one who kept saying "change"?


Like I said, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I remember him saying something along those lines.

Make that 700 trillion!

thinking, they may have put Hillary on Lithium, by the way, doesn't everyone seem extremely blue, dejected, desolate, dispirited, down, downcast, downhearted, dull, gloomy, low, melancholy, spiritless

I can feel it in my soul, something really creepy is going on, maybe they all have Seasonal affective disorder.
