Letter: Hillary Clinton bad on foreign policy, worse on jobs
A letter states that Hillary Clinton is the most qualified candidate we have had in the last 54 years because she attended daily briefings as Secretary of State. I’m not making this up. It doesn’t mention one accomplishment.
Her Russian re-set was a disaster. During the Arab Spring she was instrumental in the removal of Hosni Mubarak from Egypt who was our only Arab ally in the Middle East for 30 years. She was instrumental in the removal of Moammar Gadhafi of Libya who was cooperating with us. In Syria, Obama drew a red line in the sand which Bashar al-Assad crossed, with no retaliation. In Benghazi, Hillary lied as to how the attack on our embassy that killed four Americans started, blaming a video. Since her involvement as Secretary of State, the Middle East has become a disaster.
Our main issue is the economy. How would her daily briefings on foreign issues help in generating jobs?
While senator of New York, she promised to generate 200,000 jobs; she generated zero. She’s good at making money for their foundation: during her period as Secretary of Sate, her husband made millions giving speeches in foreign countries and their foundation is worth more than $200 million (FBI is investigating). As Bernie Sanders keeps repeating, her speeches to Wall Street and the banks must have been zingers to be paid $250,000. (She refuses to release the transcripts.)
In comparison, businessman Donald Trump has generated tens of thousands of jobs, which is what our country needs.
