Clinton Asserts Herself -- Taegan Goddard's Political Wire
July 15, 2009
Clinton Asserts Herself
Ben Smith notes the seating chart for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's much-anticipated speech this afternoon -- like the speech itself -- "seems designed to beat back the perception that high-profile envoys have diminished her power: Richard Holbrooke, George Mitchell, and Dennis Ross are seated in the front row."
Meanwhile, Politico has a preview of the "muscular" speech which warns adversaries that they "should never see America's willingness to talk as a sign of weakness to be exploited."
Interesting side note: The White House scheduled a Rose Garden appearance for President Obama to discuss health care at the same time Clinton will begin her speech.
