Echoing the Obama campaign’s claim that electing the first black president would make history, the incipient Hillary Clinton campaign says that, as the first woman president, Hillary Clinton would do the same. But Obama continued many of Bush’s worst policies, including drones. So, it seems clear, would Clinton. What would “history” look like, especially under fire by American drones? Pretty much like the same old, same old.

When Günther Jauch (German TV host) asked Hillary if she is going to run for the office of U.S. President, she was very coy and avoided a direct “yes-or-no” response, avoiding the question by saying that as a soon-to-be grandmother she feels she should devote her time to her daughter, son-in-law, and grand-baby. I can vote for that! 🙂
Hillary for Grandmatriarch in 2016.
Why? Why should Hillary “be there” for her grandchild? Doesn’t the “explanation” smack of the worst kind of use-my-family-to-advance-my-career narcissism?
If I’ve got Hill’s logic right, she doesn’t know if she’ll run for president because she wants to be there for the grandkid. Then be there for the grandkid. Make a statement to the effect of “Well, my grandchild comes first. Try me again in four years.” I mean, is Chelsea so SWAMPED with work that she can’t raise her own kid? Are those infrequent fluff pieces she does for an obscene amount of money so all-consuming that she can’t change diapers? And where’s her husband in all this? How about he mans up and takes care of his kid instead of saddling poor, died-for-our-sins Granny with all the scut work?
And is Bill still around? You’d think a former president could help raise a kid.
What a soulless, calculating, manipulative person Hillary must be to use her own grandchild as a pawn like this.
Frankly, I cannot think of any reason for doing an interview on German television OTHER THAN to promote her image as future President, calculating as she is.
It bugs me that Bill was Governor of Arkansas whie Ollie North was running guns and drugs out of that state.
Does it also bug you that Reagan was U.S. President while it was going on? 🙂
oh yeah, that bugs me too
