It’s not surprising that as contempt for Obama’s policies and the condescending arrogance of he and his wife grows, whispers for a challenger become roars. And predictably the cacophony of voices becomes a chant for Hillary.
I’m on record, having written at least two syndicated pieces, detailing my thoughts that the stage was set for her to run. For many, she was their first choice anyway, so much so, that no few refused to vote for him. But, for those thinking “anybody but Obama,” they should remember, that besides a difference in hair color they are politically two peas from the same pod. I will pay Hillary the compliment, that she is more of a man than Obama could hope to be – then again most women are, but I digress.
It’s important to remember the first move by Hillary as self-professed co-partner, and co-equal, in her husbands presidency, was an attempt to pass a universal healthcare that would cover everyone at government (read: taxpayer) expense. The difference, the reason for same notwithstanding – someone in the Clinton administration had the good sense not to fracture the country, by forcing it upon us, as Obama was eagerly willing to do.
But, scandal was never far from Hillary. There were her moments of questionable behavior, lies, and blatant racial insensitivity. There was the moment she hugged the wife of the terrorist leader Yasser Arafat, the sworn enemy of Israel – immediately after Suha Arafat had given a speech claiming Israel had purposely poisoned Palestinians with poisonous gas. She sarcastically commented that Mahatma Gandhi “ran a gas station down in St. Louis.” Said was a condescending stereotype of South Asians living here. She lied about writing her own book, and while Senator she claimed Congress was a plantation and that she was a slave. Needless to say those in attendance at Al Sharpton’s Martin Luther King Day conference held at his church were neither pleased nor respecting of her remarks.
We should remember that she lied about her daughter being at ground zero on 9/11 and that she had gone to find her. We all remember her claiming her plane was fired on by snipers as it landed in Bosnia, and running with her head down as she was fired at. The imagine of Hillary running as a sniper was firing at her is as humorous as the thought of how a sniper could miss that wide of a target. But once again, I digress.
There was her “travelgate” controversy which may have died down, but was never explained to the satisfaction of the public. There was the Rose Law Firm, Monsanto, her commodity options profit, Whitewater Real Estate Development and the missing billing records, questionable involvement with the Rich family, questionable campaign donations. And there are her socialist viewpoints pursuant to how children should be raised and educated.
But perhaps the worst was her protection of Bill CLinton, as he raped, groped, lied, and assaulted women from Wellesley to Arkansas, to the White House. Instead of protecting the rights and dignity of women, she by her support of his actions endangered women. And, like Obama, she had an enemies list of those women accusing her husband of sexual misdeeds. Her plan was to condemn the victims.
Thus all said, my caveat would be – we know the devil that is in office now and we have a very clear history of the devil that was there when she was first lady and of her as a senator. Ergo, for those considering her from a democrat perspective, what would the difference be between the two?

There is another significant difference even though I agree they are a lot alike. I think she loves America and Obama hates America.
bargainsurfing: keep in mind that when clinton was first elected she attempted to do the same things he’s doing…is that loving America…
just as important Mychal is her background prior to marrying Bill….her college years…a campus radical…..her sealed transcripts, manuscripts, and dissertation while there…..devotion to Saul Alinskey and his plan for revolution…Cloward and Piven….one would think you were talking about Barry Obama….but in fact we’re talking about Hillary. You are 100% dead on when you call them two peas out of the same pod….if she runs against him and goes on to win the general election…our only hope would be to win the Senate and continue control of the House …otherwise I could see a mass exodus to Australia or even Canada.
boomer25: if she decides to run…she would have the gift of lambasting everything he did…and then keeping it in place because it mirrors exactly what she believes…
exactly…and she would no doubt re-energize BHO’s entire base…and the GOP would need a homerun hitter to run against her….I’m not sure there is one in the current crop of GOP contenders…not yet anyway
boomer25: that’s the mentality we must get over…we can elect anyone that is good if we support them…romney, perry, huntsman, are skunks trying to pretend they don’t stink…the media wants them because they’re essentially more of the same…neither media nor party hierarchy wants person who truly stands on principle…
When I think of Hillary Clinton…two words come to mind..devious and cut-throat. Her play book
has no rules .She swipes at her opponents and devours here enemies. How would things be
different if she were president? From most vantage points not much difference. However, I
do recognize that she is far more intelligent and much too ambitious to have allowed herself
to be painted with the same brush…she can smell blood in the water and knows how to survive.
She would have responded to the negative wave and delivered a scathing blow to those who failed
her. Obama has more flaws than there is space to name and he has yet understand how to right
a sinking ship….his counsel,his cabinet and those who have his ear..what a pathetic group and they
simply lack the ability to advise this errant child on how desperate things are and to present cogent
thought and workable solutions. No one will ever know how different things might have been, but
it is hard to fathom a worse scenario than the one we are living. Hillary knows how to get what she
wants and when she emasculated her husband…everyone recognized what she was capable of..
We are now witnessing the repeat of history at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue…devious and cut-throat.
…….does this ring a bell?
annette: as I said obama should be half the man hillary is…for that matter…he should be half the man buttzilla is…
Obama is no match for Hillary…….but the person by his side certainly is. The
only difference between the two is one has a title the other feels entitled. You
can dress a shark in a pant suit or a cashmere sweater….but they are still
a shark with killer instincts and an insatiable appetite.
annette: obama is no match for hillary in a sponge cake eating contest…only reason he won was because she didn’t play the one card she had…and while the leff tries to down play and deny its true…the tape of mamabama blasting whites at a conference attended by louis farrakhan’s wife held at jeremiah wright’s church did and probably still does exist…the question is why the clintons didn’t use it…
” I will pay Hillary the compliment, that she is more of a man than Obama could hope to be – then again most women are, but I digress.” Mychal… sigh… you kill me! As tragic as Hilary and her bizarre, destructive behaviors are, your humor in this piece was priceless! Thanks to you, I can’t get the image of Hillary running as a sniper was firing at her and missing her out of my mind! Oh, the visual!
Snoopsister: the thought/image gives new meaning to tuck and roll…
:)
Don’t forget her praise of China’s family policies even though it means Chinese girls are aborted at a phenomenally greater rate than boys are. What kind of feminist supports the abortion of little girls exclusively? Hypocrisy is liberalism’s middle name.
kelso: i did but you didn’t…which is specific to my point…
