The Hillary As President Tour Of America

(I'm doing God's work)

It's all there, the kind of president Hillary would be, all foreshadowed by her campaign for the nomination. This was foreshadowed by the way she presided over health care reform, so this is really Hillary Redux.

What you have is a willingness to do what it takes, say what it takes, hold the shirt of the opposing ballplayer as he goes up for a shot, in the name of the greater good. The greater good, of course, is Hillary. She will save us from Obama. Or McCain. She will save us from ourselves, should we be so inclined as to not support her. However, on the two biggest projects of her life, health care reform and the run for the presidency, our ready-on-day-one candidate made a mess of both. Wasn't she supposed to win this thing in a walk?
She has thrown whoever it takes under the bus on her side, ran the upcoming Republican campaign for them, played guilt by association against her opponent. Morality is not a question. You are above morality when you are doing God's work. The gas tax gambit was perfect. Principles? Not a concern. Not when we have a need for her. Work the voters; they don't know what's best for them.
Everything about George Bush's presidency was foreshadowed by his Karl Rovian campaign and everything about the possible Hillary presidency is on view now. And vote for one, get two. If Bill were putting together a "to do" list for when Hillary becomes president, it might look something like this:
. Work on Hillary Re-election and Hillary Library campaigns. We did Lincoln Bedroom. Can't do that again. Do cocktails in the oval office. Will make a mint.
. Get a blog. Like "first husband" fireside chats. My personal views on issues. Set it up so site accepts advertising. Will make a mint.
. Develop reality TV show. "The Life of Bill." Ozzy Osbourne with class. What it's like to be me. And all the good I do. Retain distribution rights. Will make a mint.
. Do product endorsements. Like Tiger Woods does watches and stuff. "Bill Clinton is a man on the go. He needs to be on time..." kind of thing. Will make a mint.
. First things first. Get Hillary elected. We were on top of the world and will be again. Will make a mint.

It's been foreshadowed and we've been forewarned.

Campaign spot: "Hillary's Secret Thoughts"

A brain rotates in HD. The brain speaks to all Americans.

"I was chosen by God to become the next President of the United States. If you don't like that, take it up with Him. But the Devil sent one of his own to undermine the will of God, just as he sent Pilate to kill Jesus. Voters of Indiana and North Carolina, on May 6th you have a choice: Obey the will of God and be blessed by my Presidency, or vote for the dark that is Barack Obama and burn in Hell.

Your fate is in your hands.

I am Hillary Clinton and I approve this message."

Boy, you're a big help, smart guy. Our leading candidate is hanging on with far left support after Pastorgate while mainstream Democrats are in revolt--and this is your way of helping? A piece like this?

He is helping...­..........­..........­..........­...Obama. what part of Hillary don/t you understand and I will be happyy to get you up to speed.

There are no mysteries where Hillary is concernedl what I want to know is how to put Obama's campaign back together and keep it together through November. (Unless the Chicago gang has given Wright cement shoes.) Where's Oprah when Obama needs her? Ted Kennedy? Caroline Kennedy? Maria Shriver? What happened to all these campaigners who said they would be out there? Their absence is unnerving.

You nailed it. We already have seen what President Hillary looks like and it is ugly. Someone should tell Carville that Americans like their Presidents to only have two testicles not three. The only other time I heard of three testicles was in that Cheech and Chong movie and sorry I know Cheech and Hillary is no Cheech.

I've been saying this for months... And this is the only place I hear it back. How can it not be obvious that she will govern (?) the country the way she governs (?) her campaign: badly.
I do think the writer had plenty of proven material without bringing Bill into it -- he's just an extra added bonus of badly-ness.
I've heard for months about the fact that her staff is in fear of her and afraid to tell her what she doesn't want to hear. And given her seemingly endless delusions of grandeur, God help us if we have another 4-8 years of THAT!

My conclusion: As in 2000 and 2004, this country will get the president it deserves. And it may just NOT deserve a brilliant and decent man in a jungle of diseased wolves. Our future really does hang in the balance here -- and not enough people are paying attention to the painfully obvious show that's going on here.
