Clinton's LGBT Steering Committee in Ohio. Did they up the ante on Obama?
it doesn't look like it was written by or with Bill Clinton (does it to you?).
Reading through Clinton's Foreign Policy "Major Speech" ... it doesn't look like it was written by or with Bill Clinton (does it to you?).I don't see a tightly reasoned approach to what McCain is calling the great ideological struggle of the 21st century (he used to call it the rather haplessly phrased "Titanic struggle" ....).
"Old fashioned diplomacy" is something that Condi, even, just passed by with her "Transformative Diplomacy" speech.
Clinton missed an opportunity to strike one or two grand themes, in favor of her longstanding approach of hitting all the bases. For instance, she could have put women clearly as a centerpiece to her vision of how her foreign policy will be effective and be effectuated. This is one time being when being a woman is policy a propos, yes?
Perhaps she has to have a comprehensive speech done first, in order to do the detail later. But there might be something terribly appealing in adding "women worldwide" implicitly to the millennial challenge, as a modus if not more, yes?
OBAMA DOESN'T HAVE A DRAWER OF SPEECHES
In fairness, Obama has given no such speech, recently (that I know), so ... In the absence of "Big Think", the right-wing blogosphere is picking apart his ad-hoc comments on National Defense priorities, just now. He might give a short speech on "Nation Building in the 21st Century: Cities of Hope" (no parody intended - something on Nation Building, at least). That'll drive the GOP strategists into contortions, right?
