Subject: Concerning Secretary Of State Position
.
Hello:
.
I don't know how to properly send my comment for President-elect Obama, so please forward this to him if you would. I would appreciate it.
.
I've been reading how Senator Hillary Clinton is being considered for the position of Secretary of State.
.
I have a comment concerning this.
.
I don't feel that Senator Clinton presents an appropriate neutral position that would be effective in being Secretary Of State due to hostilities expressed in regards to a Ramadan fast-breaking dinner (Iftar) hosted by several Christian groups which welcomed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
.
The Christian groups - some of which - are well known for their peace promoting activities were under fire for welcoming Ahmadinejad.
.
Governor Palin was given an invitation to the protest, but was treated rudely as well.
.
The protest was sponsored by Women International I believe. http://stopahmadinejadrally.wordpress.com/
.
I don't believe that Senator Clinton could be as effective in being Secretary of State, and believe her neutrality is in question.
.
To show this little regard for peace promoting activities on the part of Christian groups, towards a visiting dignitary - Islam, and popular Governor of the great state of Alaska - whom I have respect for.
.
My mom mentioned to me how she was appalled. She said that she never remembered a visiting dignitary being treated so rudely when visiting the U.S.A. before - whether they were agreed with or not.
.
Passions are high however I realize.
.
I wanted to voice my opinion of offense, and non-support concerning Senator Clinton in being considered for this position. In dealing with nations such as Iran, I believe, Senator Clinton may not be the best choice.
.
I am a registered Republican, but in reality an Independent.
.
We disagree on several issues I feel quite important to me that I take strongly to heart, but I wish you well in your Administration.
.
As an American, you would have my hesitant support.
.
I will also pray for you.
.
Thank you for your time,
.
Many blessings of peace to you,
Assuredly in faith,
Rev. Marguerite Earhart
