Madame Secretary arrives in Japan on her maiden voyage as Secretary of State. A country that is already wary of barry and (another) one he has never visited...just like he hasn't visited anywhere in Latin America or Australia. I imagine Clinton will be doing more than sipping tea with ambassadors. How many countries to you think First Lady Michelle Obama will go to? And what are the chances barry will ever make it to 80 countries in his lifetime - ye of an "international upbringing in Muslim countries" from age 6-10? How did you folks fall for that...and everything else??
She will go on from Tokyo to Jakarta, Seoul and Beijing - two more countries he has never visited . I wonder how many people in Beijing will remember her 1995 "Women's Rights are Human Rights" speech - ranked #35 in the top 100 speeches of the 21st Century, which she accomplished while she was having tea with ambassadors. I bet that neither the First Lady nor the President have read it. A little context:
#1 Martin Luther King "I Have a Dream"
#2 John F Kennedy Inaugural Address
#57 Anna Eleanor Roosevelt "The Struggle for Human Rights"
#58 Geraldine Anne Ferraro Vice-Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech
#70 Ted Kennedy Eulogy for Robert Francis Kennedy
#73 Lou Gehrig "Farewell to Baseball"
#92 President Clinton "Oklahoma Memorial Bombing Address"
