16. I'm 65 I wonder if she thinks I need to do more research too

My problem is that whenever I do research on her statements, I find that she lies or exaggerates.

It was interesting that when she left the State Department, the common wisdom was that she improved relations, but had no really big accords or agreements - other then helping get Israel to agree to the Egyptian brokered ceasefire in Gaza. It is also clear that she worked hard as Secretary. The consensus was she was a competent, but not an outstanding SoS. Why not just claim that - it is honest and it is a huge credential in addition to the rest of her resume.

Since then, she has taken credit for Iran, the Paris Climate Change agreement, getting chemical weapons out of Syria, and the UN resolution that has led to the cessation of hostility and the current peace talks in Syria -- though she does say Kerry did finalize them (except for the chemical weapons where her book only credits him with a gaffe). I honestly wonder if she will soon decide that he should split the blame on the emails - saying that each of Obama's secretaries had half their email on a private server!
