Kuala Lumpur, November 02: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said today, she expects President Barack Obama to stay the course on domestic and foreign policy, even if Republicans make big gains, as expected, in hotly contested congressional midterm elections.
On a visit to predominantly Muslim Malaysia, where she was promoting religious and political tolerance, Clinton told students and civic leaders that she had spoken to Obama by phone on the eve of the vote, and joked that she thought he seemed “a little envious” that she was abroad for an election that may see Democrats lose control of Congress.
“I think he was a little envious that I am here,” Clinton said, describing the phone call she and Obama had at 1 a.m. midday yesterday on Washington time.
But she said that even if the Republicans win Congress, the Obama administration will pursue its agenda.
