Can’t You Feel Hillary’s Pain?

On the one hand, Hillary Clinton could just be a very happy woman about now. Witnessing the blockbuster Sarah Palin speech at the Republican convention Thursday night, she has to feel more than a glimmer of hope that Barack Obama will lose in November, making her the presumptive nominee for the Democrats four years from now starting on election day 2008. (And giving her “I told you so” rights galore.)

Her moment of glory and vindication may keep getting delayed, but in her mind it’s all about patience, patience, patience.

Hillary the Wonder-Worker! *

Do you know that if Hillary Clinton were president today she would be on the fast track to immortality…regarded as one of the greatest of the presidents-exceeding her husband, exceeding Ronald Reagan? Look at the figures and tell me if having a feisty woman president doesn’t revolutionize things. Why with the fiscal year 2007 that ended September 30, the federal budget deficit that she inherited from that awful George W. Bush has FALLEN BY 35%! It is now $161 billion…an amazing change which means that trust a woman with shrewd fiscal sense to impose a discipline that has been sorely lacking under ... Read More...
