HILLARY MESSES IT UP – AT 10:45 A.M. ET:  You just can't let her out of the house.  From The Hill: 

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton asserted that the U.S. is "finally where we need to be" in the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) — and she is getting pilloried by conservatives for saying so.

"We now finally are where we need to be. We have a strategy and a commitment to go after ISIS," the former secretary of State said in the Democratic presidential debate on Saturday night.

"And we finally have a U.N. Security Council resolution bringing the world together to go after a political transition in Syria," she added.

With most Americans disapproving of President Obama's handling of terrorism, Clinton risks appearing out of touch with her comments.

Republican Party operatives were quick to post the video of Clinton's statement on YouTube, and the remark also ignited a storm of protest from conservatives on social media.

COMMENT:  I feel her pain.  She's living in two worlds – the real world, where we're losing to ISIS on virtually every front, and Obama's world, where we're doing everything right.  She has to show the public that she's independent of the administration, but she must bow to Obama's fantasies to keep his support. 

What's a mother to do?
