My Comment: Another fawning puff piece from the main stream media on one of the Clintons .... but in this Newsweek piece .... quite frankly .... they have gone waayyyy over the top with absolutely little (if any) critical analysis on Sec. of State Clinton's tenure at the State Department.

I am an admirer on her work ethic and her determination to have an impact on U.S. foreign policy .... unfortunately .... the State Department has been ineffective in having any influence on the Arab uprisings, and pushing agendas such as women's issues in places like the Middle East will have zero impact long after she is gone.
