I can't help it now. Obama and the administration have brought up "Innocence of Muslims" so much and blamed everything on it that now I have to watch it and see what this is all about. I can only hear about it so much and decide that I have to see it before I can say I understand and agree or disagree with their argument is about it. If Muslims say it is a valid reason for terrorism, then I need to what that really is. I think we should all watch it and see for ourselves if there needs to be a law protecting Islam from free speech or is the movie really does or doesn't justify terror. Then the other questions are to be considered if a movie about Muhammad justifies terrorism and the need for a law to stop the speech means that anti-Jesus movies justify terrorism or should we craft a law taking away our first amendment rights to treat Jesus the way Hollywood already does. So, let's all watch "Innocence of Muslims" and discuss it! OK. I can’t help it now.

NONE! Why do we expect her to be successful in the big time when she has so little relevant experience and is dealing not only with very difficult and complex issues but with people who have far more experience? It is naive on our part. Does anyone think she would have received this appointment had she not been married to bill clinton? We deserve better than hillary clinton.
