In her last major stop on her whirlwind Africa tour (all respect, Cape Verde) Hillary Clinton in Liberia weighed in on the controversy surrounding President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and the recommendation of her country’s Truth and Reconciliation that she (and other politicians) not be allowed to hold office after their current terms expire. Clinton put her full support (and thus the stamp of American, and perhaps more important Barack Obama’s, legitimacy) behind Johnson Sirleaf in a speech in Monrovia that was effusive in its praise for the progress Liberia has made and for Johnson Sirleaf’s leadership in particular. I could be wrong, of course, but I think it is pretty safe to say that Clinton’s outreach bodes well for Johnson Sirleaf’s political future.
