The real Bill-Hill problem

. . .

We have never had an ex-president move back into the White House. When in 1992 Bill Clinton promised "two for the price of one," it was taken as a slightly hyperbolic promotion of the role of first lady. This time we would literally be getting two presidents.

Any ex-president is a presence in his own right. His stature, unlike, say, Hillary's during Bill's presidency, is independent of his spouse. From Day One of Hillary's inauguration, Bill will have had more experience than she at everything she touches. ...

The cloud hovering over a Hillary presidency is not Bill padding around the White House in robe and slippers flipping thongs. It's President Clinton, in suit and tie, simply present in the White House when any decision is made. The degree of his involvement in that decision will inevitably become an issue. Do Americans really want a historically unique two-headed presidency constantly buffeted by the dynamics of a highly dysfunctional marriage?

The Kirchners are Peronists as well, but Cristina is no Isabelita. She is a highly accomplished person -- student activist, lawyer, senator and, by some accounts, the more formidable figure in this two-person political partnership. Sound familiar? Like Hillary Clinton (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Hillary+Clinton?tid=informline), she, too, met her husband in law school, was instrumental in his ascent to the presidency and had long planned with her husband an eventual alternation of power.


Those are the similarities. The one big difference is much more interesting: on a certain memorable occasion, when pressured by the press to explain why her agenda sounded so very leftist, Cristina answered that she thought all her proposed (socialist) plans were good, and if that made her a commie (and I quote) THEN I AM A COMMIE. (I saw that in French TV last time I was down there).

As opposed by The Bitch, a notorious Marxist, who's trying to pass herself off as a "moderate."

At least Cristina is more honest. :rolleyes:

Yep. A little honesty would destroy the Hildebeest and she knows it.

More honest? Satan is more honest than Hillbitch.

There's an inherent problem in K's approach, and it resides in his assumptions. He assumes that Bill would be "helping" Hill as prez, and I don't know that that would be the case. I think she'd run his ass outta the Oval Orifice and let him set up shop in the Lincoln Boudoir, replete with red wallpaper, mirrors on the ceiling and jars of vaseline and Viagra standing open and ready to use on all flat surfaces.

:lol:

I would suggest she did that in the UN's general secretary's office, rather than in the Lincoln bedroom. It would be more fitting.

More honest? Satan is more honest than Hillbitch.

At least Hillbitch admits to being a liberal, unlike some of our republican canidates...
