Careful What You Say

In the age of the Internet, information of all types are available at one's fingertips. The ability to get past information is also a nice thing to have.

Unfortunately for Hillary Clinton, this has now come to bite her in the ass:

Hillary Clinton pounced on rival Barack Obama on Monday for his willingness to meet with some troublesome world leaders during a Democratic US presidential debate starring a parade of questions posed through YouTube videos.

"Certainly, we're not going to just have our president meet with Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez and you know, the president of North Korea, Iran and Syria, until we know better what the way forward would be," she said.

The above mentioned statement was done yesterday.

However, just a few short months ago, on April 22nd, she had this to say:

Hillary Rodham Clinton on Sunday criticized President Bush's foreign policy, and said if she were president she would do things differently, including beginning diplomatic talks with supposed enemies and sending envoys throughout the world.

"I would begin diplomatic discussions with those countries with whom we have differences, to try to figure out what is the depth of those differences," said Clinton, who spoke to about 1,000 people at Luther College in Decorah in northeastern Iowa.

"I think it is a terrible mistake for our president to say he will not talk with bad people. You don't make peace with your friends -- you have to do the hard work of dealing with people you don't agree with," said Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination.

Opening talks with other countries doesn't mean the U.S. won't defend its interests whenever necessary, she said, "but what it means is that we should discuss other routes before we decide we're going to pursue military options.

"We cannot provide the leadership we need unless we are willing to try engage the other countries," she said.

So in other words, she'll say or do anything that gives her the image of being the right person for the job. Here's a hint Hillary, if you bash Bush for something, you can't turn around and bash someone else for saying the exact same thing you did just 3 MONTHS ago. It's called hypocrisy.
