Hillary Compares Florida to Third World Country!

Lest we forget about our Secretary of State... During her recent rip to Africa, our Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton visited Nigeria, a land of political violence and corrupt elections, Clinton tried to push the message that embracing violence after a disputed election is never the answer. But then she said this. “Our democracy is still evolving. We had all kinds of problems in some of our past elections, as you might remember. In 2000, our presidential election came down to one state where the brother of the man running for president was the governor of the state, so we have our problems, too.” Clinton’s comparison of Nigeria and Florida didn’t get too much play on the Main Stream Media, Brian Williams of NBC simply stated that it was “an off the cuff remark.” Memo to Brian Williams, the Seretary of State is not supposed to make “off the cuff remarks” in the course of her duties! It’s bad enough that our President is continually apologizing to the World for the success of our Nation but now our Secretary of State is comparing the State of Florida to the third world politics of Nigeria? What the hell is going on here?
