As the media predictably gush and fawn over the thought of Hillary
Clinton as president, there's something extremely obvious they've been
missing.
Rather surprisingly, Roger Simon, the perilously liberal chief
political columnist at Politico, asked the $64 million question on CNN's
Reliable Sources Sunday, "How good a job did she really do as Secretary of State?" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
HOWARD KURTZ, HOST: A million things can happen in three years. It's a couple of lifetimes in politics. ROGER
SIMON, POLITICO: If we're going to do premature stories on Secretary
Clinton, let's do ones that are what she's going to realistically face
if she does become a candidate.
How good a job did she really do as Secretary of State? How good did
she do between the Palestinians and the Israelis? How good did she do in
Syria? How well did she do in Iran? How well did she do at Benghazi?
You know, how well did she do in North Korea?
These are the serious issues that Hillary Clinton will face in the primaries and the general -- KURTZ: And the reason we are seeing very little of that is? SIMON: Because it's serious stuff.
