(59,501 posts)34. Not "same difference"
Given that you and others have been calling her the best SOS, she IS over rated - though I said over hyped. Their were no accomplishments that she had that come close to justifying that. Consider the impact of George Marshall's MARSHALL PLAN. Note that "over rated" does not mean mediocre or poor, just not a++ which is how you and others rated her.
No one is saying that she did not travel a huge amount or that it is easy. However, the job of being President is as difficult and never ending. The mental burden is enormous.
