IMPRESSIVE RESUME & RAP SHEET
(Wednesday April 20, 2016,
Brooklyn, NY) Hillary Rodham would very likely have been an accomplished
successful woman in whatever arena she chose to work based on her own merits. Born into modest privilege and raised in the
upscale Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, she graduated from Wellesley College with
honors in political science and went on to earn her law degree at Yale where
she met he future husband, fellow law student Bill Clinton. It would be her marriage to the future
Arkansas Attorney General, Governor, and two-term Democratic President of the
United States that would propel her to bear witness at the highest levels of
governance and politics. She hitcher her
wagon, so to speak, to a man who would come to be known as arguably the most
adept politician of his generation. Much
has been speculated and written about the nature of their relationship and
marriage but, all that can be taken as fact is that theirs is a very
complicated pairing.
It has been widely documented
that Hillary Rodham did not take to Arkansas easily; actually she basically
hated it from the moment she arrived there.
An already experienced political hand and attorney in her own right she
bristled at some of the demands that came along with being the “First Lady of
Arkansas”. Far from Washington, DC where
she had spent some of her college time working for various Congressional
committees and as a Republican Party activist, Arkansas seemed to her to be the
backwater that it in fact was; a poor, largely rural southern state with dismal
prospects for the predominately impoverished populace. She did however come to launch some
initiatives dedicated to women’s and children’s issues and worked for one of
the most highly regarded law firms in Little Rock, the Rose Law Firm.
After 10 years as Governor
Bill Clinton threw his hat into the ring in 1991 and ran for President. And Hillary was buckled in for the ride of a
lifetime. The ups and downs of that 1991-1992 Presidential Primary season have
also been widely analyzed, documented, and closely examined from every
conceivable angle and perspective. Once
candidate Bill Clinton’s womanizing ways were made public in tawdry tabloid-style
news conferences, Hillary famously “stood by her man” although not in the same
manner as Tammy Wynette had sang. It was
that early on in her national exposure to the media and public that her
character and reputation began to be alternately defined as either a
submissive, docile woman truly committed to her husband or as a calculating,
emotionless bitch who would exact great rewards from her hubby for not
abandoning him when his nascent Presidential run was very close to being over.
TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
As we all know the Clinton’s
made it to the White House. As President
Clinton so famously said time and time again, the American people had gotten “Two
for the price of one” meaning his intelligent wife would play a major role in
his administration. And that she
did. Not satisfied with the historical
duties that befall a First Lady she insisted on being included in Cabinet
meetings, policy discussions, and others realms of governance she had no right
being privy to. The position of First
Lady is not an official Office; it is a figurative title vested with absolutely
no “power”. Mrs. Clinton was notoriously
reported throughout the Clinton years as being dismissive at best,
disrespectful at worst to the members of the Secret Service who provided the
Clinton’s personal protection. She
repeatedly overstepped her boundaries regarding important policy initiatives
and, likely as a carrot to get her occupied with something other than the real
issues the President was working on, assigned her to craft health care
legislation that would go on to be known as “Hillarycare”. Her foray into health care reform was an
unmitigated disaster. She conducted the
affairs of her committee basically in secret with no input from anyone outside
her own personal circle of “advisors” and friends. It was roundly rejected by Congress and the
American people before it could even get off the ground. It was doomed to not being able to get off
the ground by virtue of its static weight; her “proposals” were codified in an
almost 2,000-page document that even the most dedicated policy wonk couldn’t
stand to read. Her initiative died on
the vine. So much for Hillary’s
expertise.
BUILDING A RESUME AND A REPUTATION
To say the Clinton’s played fast
and loose with matters of decorum and protocol in the White House would be an
epic understatement. From early in his
first term President Clinton used and misused that residence for all manner of
trite political means. Friends of Bill
(FOB) were invited to spend a few nights sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom and
rather raucous parties were a strain on the Secret Service. It did not take very long for what would be a
distinct pattern of scandals to emerge and, perhaps “coincidentally”, but
actually not, Mrs. Clinton was at the center of those scandals.
First came the White House
Travel Office scandal involving misuse and misappropriation of funds for that
Office. The sudden and suspicious
alleged suicide of White House Counsel, Vince Foster, a longtime friend of Hillary
from her Arkansas days at the Rose Law Firm, soon followed. Mysteriously some documents Mr. Foster was
known to have in his possession disappeared only to be found much later, again
coincidentally, by Mrs. Clinton.
They there was the cattle
futures issue where her paltry investment of several thousand dollars reaped a
windfall close to $300,000 dollars. Of
course the issue of Whitewater would haunt the Clintons for much of their time
in the White House and it was Hillary who instigated that half-assed investment
years before in Arkansas. The Whitewater
investigation would prove to be the point of entry that pried the seals away
from the shields the Clintons believed they had erected years before. That scandal would give birth to many others
each of which Hillary’s fingerprints were scene.
Yes, during her years as First
Lady of Arkansas and of the United States Hillary assembled an impressive
resume rivalled only by her rap sheet.
She had demonstrated her mettle as the American public began seeing her
for what she is; a crafty, corrupt, deceitful, dishonest, liar fueled by
unbridled ambition and unmitigated arrogance believing herself to be so gifted
and “special” that she can live above the law.
Imagine, if you will, her in the White House as President. Yes, it is a scary picture made all the more
concerning as it appears she has a real possibility of winning the election
just seven months away.
COATTAILS
Mrs. Clinton has been able to
parlay the circumstances of her marriage into a Golden Calf that keeps on
giving. Everything she has “accomplished”
since leaving the White House has been basically handed to her on a silver
platter. She has been swept ever forward
riding on the coattails of her popular husband.
When the liberal stalwart of
the Senate, New York’s Danial Patrick Moynihan announced his plan to retire he handpicked
Mrs. Clinton as his replacement. The carpet
bagging Hillary inherited the powerful New York Democratic “Machine” as well as
the vast political enterprise her husband had so ardently assembled since his
college days at Georgetown. Her likely
opponent was to be former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, but he was forced to exit
the race before it even really began due to a diagnosis of prostate
cancer. The NY GOP had no real viable candidate
waiting in the wings so Hillary sailed easily to victory. What were her accomplishments during her eight-year
tenure in the Senate? Good question.
Her Senate seat not being
large enough for her hyper-ambitious ass, she launched her presidential
campaign in 2007 only to be defeated by an upstart first term senator from her
real home state, Barack Obama. Obama, another
crafty politician followed the Sicilian practice of “keeping your friends close
and your enemies closer” and handed to the trounced Hillary the Office of
Secretary of State. She was no more
qualified for that position than is the wife of an astronaut to fly the space
shuttle. Her tenure at the Department of
State was troubled from the start.
Scandals continue to transpire around her and, at some point, people began
to realize that she was not a victim of circumstance but rather an incompetent empty
pants suit simply not up to the tasks of that all-important Cabinet position. She may have been the “most widely travelled
Secretary of State” yet for all her air miles one would be hard pressed to name
a single tangible accomplishment while the list of her missteps, ineptitude,
irrational thinking, and deep lack of knowledge about the geopolitics of the
times.
What are easily listed are her
gross blunders; the instances of diplomatic failings, ill-advised initiatives
and episodes of criminal dereliction of duty.
She was not liked or respected by world leaders and her credibility as
the chief ambassador for the USA was a persistent issue in every arena she
attempted to negotiate with foreign alleys, friends and foes. She can testify to a Senate Select Committee
for 11 hours a day for 11 months on end and still not be able to wash the blood
from Benghazi from her hands.
Her use of a private e-mail
server kept in her adopted home in Chappaqua raising questions not only about
her judgment but of her understanding of the law and represents an attitude of
both laxity and arrogance, another example of how she feels she is above the law. Do we really want this type of person, this
particular individual in the White House?
Hopefully the American public will not allow that to happen. We know who she is and what she is and what
she isn’t; she is in no form or fashion Presidential material.
Yes, America may be ready for
a woman president but it is clearly not ready for this woman to be
president. Her un-favorability ratings
are higher than any other likely nominee in the history of polling. She is seen by huge majorities of voters as
dishonest, untrustworthy, and not possessing the character to be
president. The country has the chance to
once and for all vanquish this awful woman from the national stage. Let us all
hope that that is precisely what happens.
