And this creature was our Secretary of State.
Madeleine Albright gave a speech to students this week in the Russian city of Omsk. It most certainly surprised her Russian audience. From the Pravda report:
Madeleine Albright said during the meeting that America no longer had the intention of being the first nation of the world. . . .
The former US Secretary of State surprised the audience with her speech. She particularly said that democracy was not the perfect system. “It can be contradictory, corrupt and may have security problems,” Albright said.
America has been having hard times recently, Albright said.
“We have been talking about our exceptionalism during the recent eight years. Now, an average American wants to stay at home – they do not need any overseas adventures. We do not need new enemies,” Albright said adding that Beijing, London and Delhi became a serious competition for Washington and New York.
“My generation has made many mistakes. We give the future into the hands of the young. Your prime goal is to overcome the gap between the poor and the rich,’ the former head of the US foreign political department said.
I wish I could say that her views are anomalous. But they’re not. Albright utterly typifies the left’s disdain for America and its history.

I wouldn’t put too much trust in how a neo-communist online newspaper choses to report the speech of a former American secretary of state.
Ordinarily, I would agree. But given the history of Albright’s other utterances (both during and after the Clinton administration), I actually believe Pravda in this case. She didn’t earn the nickname “halfbright” for nothing.
Ms. Halfbright has made such comments before. My question to her would be, if The United States is not going to be no. 1 in the world, than what country will take our place? Why do these people hate our country so much?
