CLINTON STATE DEPT. GIVES REPORTERS LESS ACCESS THAN BUSH; AIDE TAKES BLAME FOR 'RESET BUTTON'...
(Politico) - Hillary Clinton’s departure for the State Department was meant to end the era of Clinton drama, and to leave the turmoil of her campaign behind. But one former Clinton aide, now a senior adviser to Secretary Clinton, has brought at least some of that drama along with him.
State Department reporters and observers have been buzzing about the brewing conflict since her second foreign trip, earlier this month, to Europe and the Middle East. On that trip, her longtime Senate press secretary Philippe Reines – one of the combatants in Hillaryland’s long civil wars – took over as the political staffer charged with handling the press.
The trip was marked by tussles over information and access, but it became known for a high-profile blunder in Geneva on March 6. There, Clinton met Sergei Lavrov, the dour Russian Foreign Minister, and cheerily presented him with a large red button in a yellow case, with the words “Reset” and “Peregruzka” written on it.
“We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?” Clinton asked.
“You got it wrong,” said Lavrov.

Hillary Clinton made a statement while in Mexico blaming the US for the many deaths associated with the drug violance.She claimed that it was due to American Arms crossing the border.The fact is that the weapon of choice around the world is the AK47 or other Russian models.Infat Brasil is the numer one producer of conventional arms in the world.I feel,knowing the Clintons,that this was said to disarm the American people by way of international law.She would like nothing more than for America to become a totalitarian state led by one of her kind.
