And reporters kind of make fun of Hillary Clinton because shes got a 3point plan or a 5point plan for just about every issue that you can imagine. And she says that shes controversial when she runs for a job but when she does the job shes effective. I was especially struck by a long piece in the recent new yorker magazine about the attempts to close guantanamo. And a lot of it is congresss fault, become a partisan issue.
