    Every President has called on Kissinger at some point. Even Obama. It’s no surprise at all that HRC would have a professional relationship and even a friendship with the man considering his presence in the administration during her tenure. He never let himself drift far from the seats of power. Ever.

    Kissinger was perfectly happy to make himself useful in some way to perpetuate his view of the geopolitical world.

    E: Don’t believe me?

    Kissinger visited the White House to advise President Barack Obama more than once. And in 2016, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter presented Kissinger with a distinguished public service award from the Defense Department.

      You say this like people didn’t realize Obama lied about being progressive a decade ago…

      Dude was neoliberal thru and they. It’s just he was so (relatively) young no one knew his first election, and the second there wasn’t a primary so the only other option in the general was R

        Obama campaigned on single payer. That’s VERY progressive. He just copped out on it once he was seated.

          Lol…

          Campaigning to do something and then immediately refusing to try doesn’t make anyone progressive…

          As I kid I told people I wanted to be an astronaut and they acted happy for me because I was a kid.

          I never became an astronaut, so why are we calling Obama a progressive?
