I miss Hillary. Sincerely, I do. There is a song that plays in the background of a local Independence Blue Cross Insurance commercial, and the jingle perpetually loops in my head: “I wish that I knew what I know now.” When the primaries first began what seems like two centuries ago, I was sure that hearing Hillary’s screeching and nagging voice and contrived laugh for four years would surely be the death of me. Not to mention that I disagree with her 95% of the time (only 5% less than I disagree with Barack Obama), so the danger of her policies goes without saying. But compared with our current President-Elect, I’d take Hillary back in a blue minute. If Hillary would have beat John McCain, I don’t think I would have been as physically ill as I was on Election Day. Here’s why.
Hillary called out Barack Obama on his thin resume.
"There are differences between our records and our accomplishments. I have to confess, I was somewhat amused, the other night, when, on one of the TV shows, one of Senator Obama's supporters was asked to name one accomplishment of Senator Obama, and he couldn't."
Hillary agreed with Republicans that Obama’s openness to meeting with the dictators from Iran, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela with no pre-conditions is dangerous and I do not believe she would have been linguine-spined when dealing with these rogue players.
“I thought that was irresponsible and frankly naive.”
Hillary sounded like a conservative when it came to handling Iran should they attack Israel.
“I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran… In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them.”
And finally, we will constantly have to remind the Democrats of Hillary’s new definition of patriotism that she introduced in a screeching screed several years ago when lambasting the Bush administration. Apparently, Senator Clinton supports that Republicans will be vociferously exercising the freedom of speech and opposition that Obama will squish like a bug during his administration:
“We are Americans. We have the right to participate and debate ANY administration!”
I would happily have all of the Bill-and-Hill baggage that the moving company would have trucked in with the Clintons over the crushing weight of treachery that accompany the Ayers, Wright, Farrakhan, Dorn, Rezko, and Pflager crew. As much dirt as the Clintons would have tracked back into the White House, at least we KNOW about it all. Who knows who else will crawl out from under the rocks over the next four years? By that time, buyer’s remorse will have surely set in and the American people will be ready for another “change.”
