ヒラリー氏「花や食器は自分で選ぶ」、大統領就任後に夫人役も | Reuters
次期米大統領選の民主党有力候補であるヒラリー・クリントン氏は１９日、大統領に就任した場合、ホワイトハウスでの国家行事に飾る花や使用する食器はファーストレディー時代と同様に自分が選ぶと語った。
民主党候補による討論会で語った。特別な任務に必要な場合は、夫であるビル・クリントン元大統領を派遣すると話した。
ヒラリー氏は、大統領の配偶者の役割を変革する時期に来ているかとの質問に、自分が当選したら大統領夫妻双方の役割を見直す可能性があるとの考えを示し、「国歌行事などの際にはまた私が花や食器を選ぶが、過去の大統領たちがしたように、特別なミッションや助言についてはもちろん夫を頼るだろう」と述べた。

— Alex Conant (@AlexConant) 2015, 12月 20Few would mistake Bernie Sanders’ socialism-tinged politics with Ted Cruz’s hardcore conservatism, but the two read from nearly identical scripts this week on some of the thorniest foreign policy issues facing America.
Sanders, during Saturday night’s televised Democratic debate, ripped his top rival — Hillary Clinton — for what he described as an overly aggressive approach to toppling Middle Eastern dictators, a bullheadedness he said has created power vacuums filled by opportunistic terror groups like the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL).
“Secretary Clinton is too much into regime change and a little bit too aggressive without knowing what the unintended consequences might be,” he said.
That sounded an awful lot like Cruz’s complaints that his rival, Marco Rubio, has been too gung ho about eliminating dictators like Syria’s Bashar Assad.
"If we topple Assad, the result will be ISIS will take over Syria and it will worsen U.S. national security interests," the Texas senator said during Tuesday’s Republican debate.
Sanders repeatedly warned that the United States has too often been the world’s policeman and that the country must work to enlist Arab and Muslim forces to fight battles against authoritarian regimes while focusing more tactically on uprooting ISIL and other groups working to attack the United States.
“We could get rid of Assad tomorrow but that would create another political vacuum,” he said.
Both Cruz and Sanders both worried that U.S. intervention in Libya, though it successfully toppled Muammar Qaddafi, had unleashed chaos that allowed terrorists to establish a stronghold in North Africa.
Clinton fired back that Sanders had actually voted to take out Qaddafi, who she called “a despot with American blood on his hands.”
“Now Libyans are turning their attention to try to dislodge ISIS from its foothold,” she said.
