Hillary Clinton

An immigration enforcement organization is praising Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (R) for vowing to fight the Obama administration if it sues the state over its controversial immigration enforcement bill.

Ever since the Arizona legislature passed the tough new measures contained in S.B. 1070, the Obama administration has threatened to take legal action against them. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently told an Ecuadorian television network that the administration "will be bringing" suit against Arizona, even though the Justice Department has said for weeks that the issue is still under review. Her comments angered Brewer, who responded by saying she is ready for a fight.

Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), thinks Brewer has every right to be angry...

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer expressed outrage Thursday over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's comments that the Obama administration will sue over Arizona's controversial immigration law -- and Brewer said she's ready for a fight.

Clinton said in an interview with a TV station in Ecuador that the Obama administration "will be bringing" suit against Arizona for its immigration law, though the Justice Department for weeks has said that the issue is still under review.

"What a disappointment," Brewer told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren on Thursday, saying she was shocked the administration would make such an announcement on foreign TV without giving Arizona officials the news first. Her office hadn't heard from the administration as of Thursday evening.

"We are not going to back away from this issue," Brewer said. "We are going to pursue it, we're going to be very aggressive," Brewer said. "We'll meet them in court ... And we will win"...

WASHINGTON -- Hillary Rodham Clinton says she intends to serve as secretary of state throughout the first term of the Obama administration.

Clinton says the job is exhausting but that she enjoys it and feels her efforts are making a difference around the world, though she adds that there are incredibly difficult problems.

Clinton says she does not want to serve on the Supreme Court and has never wanted to be a judge. President Obama is considering potential replacements for retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens.

Clinton spoke Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."

(CNSNews.com) – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton waded into an explosive political debate in Canada Tuesday, with remarks on abortion certain to have embarrassed her hosts at the end of a two-day Group of Eight meeting.

After a disclaimer that she would not speak for Canada, Clinton proceeded to lay out a position in opposition to that taken by conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government, linking maternal health promotion in poor countries to “access to legal, safe abortion.”

Earlier this year, Harper announced that Canada would place the promotion of maternal and child health in the developing world at the center of its leadership of the G8...

(CNSNews.com) – From the time he entered the White House, President Obama frequently has spoken about having “inherited” an economic mess, and he has been criticized for it. But the expression arguably has been used even more often by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Nine months later, it is a theme she returns to regularly at home and abroad.

During her most recent trip, a six-day visit to Western Europe and Russia earlier this month, Clinton used the phrase publicly at least four times on three occasions.

At a joint press conference with her British counterpart David Miliband in London on October 11, she said with regard to Afghanistan, “We have been in office about nine months. We obviously believe that the prior eight years were not as effective or focused as they might have been … our challenge has been to take what we inherited”...

(CNSNews.com) - A new Gallup Poll gives Hillary Clinton a higher "favorable rating" than Barack Obama, the man who beat her in the Democratic presidential primary.

The poll, conducted Oct. 1-4 (before Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize) gives Secretary of State Clinton a 62 percent favorable rating to Obama's 56 percent. In January 2009, Obama's favorable rating stood at 78 percent, compared with 65 percent for Clinton.

Clinton's highest favorable rating of 67 percent came in late December 1998, just after her husband, President Bill Clinton, was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives...

MOSCOW (AP) -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Tuesday that the threat of sanctions against Iran would be counterproductive, resisting U.S. efforts to win agreement for measures if Iran fails to prove its nuclear program is peaceful.

Lavrov spoke following talks with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is trying to gauge Moscow's willingness to join the U.S. in imposing sanctions if Iran fails to come clean on its nuclear activities.

Lavrov said Russia's position is that under current conditions even the threat of sanctions against Iran would be counterproductive...

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's top defense and diplomacy advisers said the United States retains the Afghanistan war goal that he outlined just two months into his presidency — to sideline al-Qaida — but changing circumstances require a reassessment of how to get there.

A "snap decision" on whether to add more U.S troops would be counterproductive, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday.

Whatever the president decides, the military will salute, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said...

WASHINGTON -- Bill Clinton said a vast, right-wing conspiracy that once targeted him is now focusing on President Obama.

The ex-president made the comment in a television interview when he was asked about one of the signature moments of the Monica Lewinsky affair over a decade ago. Back then, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton used the term "vast, right-wing conspiracy" to describe how her husband's political enemies were out to destroy his presidency.

Bill Clinton was asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" whether the conspiracy is still there. He replied: "You bet. Sure it is. It's not as strong as it was because America has changed demographically. But it's as virulent as it was"...

(CNSNews.com) – As President Obama prepares to address the United Nations for the first time on Wednesday, the tone has been set by top administration officials who are blaming a disengaged Bush administration for cool relations between the U.S. and the international community.

In a speech previewing this week’s U.N. General Assembly sessions last Friday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not once cite the U.N.’s failings or its need for reform as factors in the strained relationship...
