Hilary roasts Bill in swearing-in speech!

Regardless of what you think of her, she is a smart and witty woman. And whether you like it or not, she has just been sworn in as the new Secretary of State.

I like Hilary and I think she deserves more credit. She has always been equally as smart as her husband, but unfortunately her true brilliance was never fully brought to light during her eight years as first lady.

She has overcome a lot in and out of the White house and this video at least shows her letting loose a bit on old Bill, whose charity organization happened to be the biggest obstacle in between Hillary and her appointment as Secretary of State.

Watch this video to see her wit really come through.
P.S. She is quite subtle, so listen carefully




And, let us not forget that Hilary headed the legislation in 1993 that tried to push for universal healthcare. Unfortunately, no one in the Senate took her seriously, and remarked that it was a pet project that Bill put on Hilary knowing it would not pass.
The bill was a major fail in the Senate because everyone thought socialized medicine = evil communism (in a nutshell). To understand a little bit more about this legislation and its unfortunate failure, click here.
Now that nationalized medical care is back on the agenda (and the US is still the ONLY country without it) maybe they won't be as reluctant. But then again, knowing Congress, if something can be made more difficult it probably will be.
