It does seem like a porch for you, Hillary, where you stand. You are visible when you want to be, attractive and compelling, but in and then out of sight, leaving the commentary to many with much less actual experience and knowledge of what is happening in the world.
Time to get off the porch, and engage with the democrats who are fighting for their seats in congress and in the house. Holding off to announce your candidacy for campaign funding purposes and/or for quelling what will surely be a frontal attack from the GOP is understandable. But now you and President Clinton need to come on in, wade in-get off your perch from the porch and dig in. Work with the candidates all over the country working hard day and night approaching the mid terms. Define and educate the public, make a statement; your role as Secretary of State, first lady and candidate for the Presidency in 2008 could give a needed perspective to the current conditions of the world of ISIS, Turkey, Iran--give us what you've got now.
