Reply #10: I would think if Obama had a problem with her message or how it is delivered, it would be made well

known to her, the Afghan government and probably even to the press in some way. And if she continued doing so in defiance of his orders, she'd be out. Her job is to carry out HIS foreign policy agenda, after all.

A president can't have a SoS openly defying and undermining him and it just wouldn't be tolerated, nor should it be. We have every reason to believe that not only is the President aware of what she is saying and how she is saying it but that he approves of it as well. To suggest otherwise simply paints Obama as a useless fool.
