Pantsuit diplomacy

In his big Middle East speech today, President Obama opened by saying: "I want to thank Hillary Clinton, who has traveled so much these last six months that she is approaching a new landmark — one million frequent flyer miles. I count on Hillary every day, and I believe that she will go down as of the finest Secretaries of State in our nation's history." To which Esquire's Thomas P.M. Barnett retorted: "I personally would never use the words "go down" and "Hillary" in the same sentence, but you get the clear sense of her term winding down with — quite honestly — no signature accomplishments and no signature screwups. Not bad for a politician." Heh. But Barnett is right about Hillary's tenure: No hits, no runs, no errors.
