I think in hillarys case this moved after she went into the secretary of state job. theres a kind of etiquette and tradition of the secretary of state not wading into domestic political matters. i frankly -- i shouldnt say frankly. >> youre definitely frankly. >> i think once obama came out for this, even though she was secretary of state, powerful, beloved enough, she could have said something. she will say something as soon as she steps out of this job, start your stop watch. its only a matter...

The u.s. commitment to israels security, its right to exist in peace alongside a palestinian state is rock-solid. i dont think is likely to be diminished or reduced in any way. i think there is a profound misapprehension in the region, that views the american commitment as an impediment to the establishment of a palestinian state. >> how so? >> they think that the united states is onesided on it. cant be a neutral arbiter, several in the region. but the reality is that we favor both a palestinia...
