Hillary For Prez?

[Warwick Hunt]

It looks like Hillary Clinton will shortly be announcing that she is going to run for the Democrat nomination for next year's US presidential election...

I can imagine the Tea Party Republicans foaming at the gash at the prospect of her being President - a black man, a woman - all they need next is a gay man and the whole country will be bound for the flames of hell.

But what will a Hillary presidency do for the western world? Furthermore, what would this mean for the UK and leading on from there, the future involvement in HMF in whatever the future emergency(ies) are across the world? Is President Hillary going to be a good thing or a bad thing?

In some eyes being viewed as a mere woman she might find negotiating with some of the less liberal thinking nations more difficult.
But at least she won't get caught out by leaving jizz on a young interns little black dress.DT_Xtremez_42:

Always surprised how a country with such a huge population has such a small gene pool from which to choose it's leaders, wonder when Chelsea will be running.

She`ll probably be the best of a bad bunch. The Republicans are having their tails wagged by the bible belt wankers and although the democrats seem to have accomplished little since they took office, most of that is due to the mess left behind in the aftermath of the economic meltdown presided over by the Republicans and the involvement in Iraq, also a Republican fvck up and the fact that they constantly refused to accept reforms brought forth by the Democratic Party, thereby pretty much freezing government much as they did in the latter half of the Clinton administration.

IMO if a Republican is voted in as Pres`it will signal a return to the days prior to the crash with once more all regulations on Wall St and the banking community being removed and the road to riches for the few and poverty for the masses being the way of life AGAIN.

Oh yes. When I was a singly a bit of old flange was just the ticket. Mind you, in those days old flange was around the 30s.

Hillary For Prez?

I don't think you have to possess a deal of intellectual ability to become President though admittedly guile, back stabbing, double dealing and general thuggery help. Without massive cash backing some of the former incumbents would have had a job getting the chair of a district council in this country. Presently she is Secretary of State is she not? I read that Truman's S of S was Harold Stettinius for a time. An acerbic commentator archly stated in the press "To be Secretary of State, you have to be able to read, write and talk to people. Sadly Harold possesses none of these attributes!" Or does this just indicate my generally low opinion of politicians in general from whatever holes they originate?
