I have three negatives on Clinton. But they're all positions which she presently takes the right side of. Problem is, she wasn't always on the right side.
1.
The war in Iraq. It was eminently clear that there were no weapons of
mass destruction in Iraq but she voted in favor of the authorization of
force. She should have known better.
2. Landmine ban -- she has traditionally been opposed to it. Her present position is to favor the ban. But her opposition to the ban was one of the distinguishing differences between her campaign and Obama's in 2008.
3.
The Arab Spring -- the last judgement call where she was on the wrong
side of history was her favoring of keeping Mubarak in power in Egypt. I
mean c'mon. Luckily the Obama administration put the kibosh on that.
And
I don't think anybody's going to be as good at the office of POTUS as
Obama, but those lapses in judgement on HRC's part make me... concerned.
