Let's get it on the record right now that Baby Marco Rubio's foreign policy chops derive solely from the fact that his parents were born in Cuba. We just wanted to point that out — because it is to laugh that a child who denies climate change dares to pass judgment on former Secretaries of State.
First, let us discuss why President Obama nominated Hillary Rodham Clinton to State to begin with.
It was because the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived had effed-up the US economy so badly that he, Obama, knew he could never pay the rest the world the attention it deserved — particularly since the Worst Person, with his phony wars and nonexistent weapons of mass destruction, had similarly effed-up America's foreign policy at the same time. So Obama asked the closest person to a President he could think of to represent America abroad.
That doesn't even begin to touch on accomplishments of the Clinton era at State: Smart power. People-to-people diplomacy instead of military force. Restoring American credibility with the rest of the world. Toppling Ghadafi. Empowering women. Ending America's involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Turkish-Armenian accord. A new START treaty. And, oh yeah, killing a guy named Osama bin Laden. (Yes, that was Obama's call, but it happened on Secretary Clinton's watch, too. Believe us, if Condoleezza Rice had been at State at the time, she'd still be yapping about it.)
Can the whining of Baby Marco compare to the lifetime of public service that Hillary Rodham Clinton has given to the US and the world? We think not — which is why we're not seeing any bumper stickers that say "Ready for Marco." We cats PURR.
