Hillary Clinton most bought, paid for candidate
h/t Instapundit"Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life." -- Frank Sinatra, as Maj. Bennett Marco "His brain has not only been washed, as they say ... It has been dry-cleaned." -- Khigh Dhiegh, as Dr. Yen Lo These lines from the 1962 classic film "The Manchurian Candidate" came to mind after I listened to President Obama’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton. The president said, "I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office." Really? She would be equal to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan and himself? Notice President Obama didn’t say she is "more qualified," because that would diminish him, and when it comes to narcissism, Mr. Obama and the Clintons make Donald Trump look like a shrinking violet. In his effusive praise of Mrs. Clinton, the president did not mention any specific accomplishments that might qualify her for the office. That is because there are none. There is a lot of symbolism, of course, but no substantive results as secretary of state, an unremarkable single term as a senator from New York, and eight years as first lady when, in 1993, she couldn’t get the Clintons’ health care reform legislation through a majority Democratic Congress. There is, however, a long list of dubious and possibly criminal "achievements." Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2016-06-21 |
