Reuters is reporting that Hilary Clinton won't accompany Barack Obama to Moscow next week (via NRO's Campaign Spot and Hot Air):
As for this latest development, I can only wonder if maybe Hilary will quit her post. She'd be wise to do so, if she really doesn't want anyone to think she's just shining Obama's shoes.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who broke her right elbow two weeks ago, will not accompany President Barack Obama to Moscow next week, a U.S. official said on Wednesday.Side note: that broken elbow was acquired just shortly after she kept calling for a settlement freeze in Israel and even a cease of natural growth.
“Secretary Clinton is not going to go to Moscow,” the official told reporters, saying Clinton would name a State Department official to replace her on the Monday-to-Wednesday trip.
The official declined to explain why she would not travel and it was not immediately clear whether it was because of her injury. Clinton tripped and fell in the State Department on June 17 and had surgery two days later on her right elbow.
As for this latest development, I can only wonder if maybe Hilary will quit her post. She'd be wise to do so, if she really doesn't want anyone to think she's just shining Obama's shoes.
