Yes, Hillary Clinton is the Secretary of State, so what?

Hillary Clinton is now on the minds of pundits and commentators with her outburst at a town hall event in Africa. An individual had the gumption to ask Hillary Clinton what Mr. Clinton thought about a certain topic, granted we learned later that apparently the translation went bad and it was supposed to be Mr. Obama, but Pandora's box was opened.

I am going to slightly disagree with my conservative brethren here, I find Hillary's response to be understandable. Not just because Bill upstaged her in North Korea, not because she is stuck in Africa doing annoying Q&As, but because the question was inappropriate. Yes, I said it. Hillary has clearly been stuck in the shadow of former president Bill Clinton for a long time and desperately wants to break out. By all political measure, Hillary has been a rather successful former first lady serving as a senator and ultimately as Secretary of State. Therefore any references to what Bill thinks about political matters, especially current foreign matters, should justifiably send Hillary into a cat clawing death spiral. However the justification ends there, because unfortunately our political elite, especially such high cabinet positions, have an obligation and a duty to act "presidential" and be politically correct.

As you watch the video below, what becomes apparent, is that her reaction while justifiable on a strictly personal level is somewhat abhorrent as a high political office reaction. We simply demand more from the elite political echelon, especially those individuals that interface with the international community. Hillary, for better or worse is the face of America and her behavior has a deep and profound impact on the perception of the president's office and our country as a whole. Furthermore and perhaps even more importantly, her behavior which can be best described as 'bitchy' and at worst 'PMS-ing high school cheerleader on crack' will invariably give pause to all voters who once considered a woman for higher office. Secretary of State is an extremely high political position and bears much responsibility and only out shined by the Presidency and Vice (don't worry Joe, you are not forgotten - regrettably). If Hillary fails to reign in her emotional avalanche as SoS, how can she be trusted as President? My guess is that most people will look at this outburst as that of a hotheaded female and this in turn will damage the probability of any other female ascending to our highest office. Unfortunately the world works in simple ways and if this sets women back, then we should all be angry and upset.

Watch Hillary flip some serious sh*t.

Yowzerrrrrrrrrr.
