Face it, Obama is especially clueless when it comes to anything beyond the 18th hole.

Hillary Clinton reportedly gave the White House a heads up before she gave an interview criticizing Obama's foreign policy doctrine and his handling of the situations in Syria and Iran.

The interview,*which was published by The Atlantic on Sunday, represented Clinton's first major public criticism of the Obama administration since she left her position as secretary of state last year. According to*a report by Politico's Maggie Haberman, "a*source familiar with the interview said Clinton’s team gave the White House a warning that it had taken place."*

In the interview, Clinton, who *is expected to launch a presidential campaign of her own in 2016, *blamed advances made by jihadists affiliated with*Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) in Syria on the Obama administration's "failure" to do more to back other groups that have been battling the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad since 2011. She also indicated she would take a harder line than the White House in negotiations with Iran over that country's nuclear program and offered a critique of the slogan Obama has used to described his foreign policy doctrine — "Don't do stupid sh*t."

"Great nations need organizing principles, and 'Don’t do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle," Clinton said.

A source close to Clinton*told Business Insider*she was "merely commenting on world events" in the interview and reiterating statements made in her recent book "Hard Choices."*

The Clintons and the Obama's have never got along that well, but the back room deals were made to push the man with almost zero political experience over the woman who had 25+ years of experience.

Although now would be the time for Hilary to attack Obama with his really low poll numbers.

Many of the more liberal Democrats have been trying to keep their distance from Obama regardless of his poll numbers.
 
Now democrats won't be able to say the Republicans are split any longer. A nice little obama Clinton scrap is just what the democrats need.

I'm glad that she is putting her interventionist foreign policy ideas on record. :)
