On June 7, 2008, Presidential Candidate Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton told America she is “throwing her support behind Barack Obama” whom she now fully endorses for President of the United States.
The fact is Hillary’s campaign is over and no one wants to support a loser. Hillary has no choice but to endorse Obama if she wants to salvage her sinking political career that sunk as low as Bill Clinton’s foot-in-mouth-disease chops during the 16 month campaign.
One week ago Hillary refused to back down; last month Hillary insinuated Obama might see the same fate as Bobby Kennedy, thus making it imperative Hillary stay in the race; Bill Clinton declared Obama was living in a “fairy tale” if he thought he could become president; Hillary herself chastised Obama in their last debate for his affiliation with Reverend Wright and Louis Farrakhan; but Saturday the faux Hillary smile was pasted on as she was forced to bow out and hand her chances for the 2008 election to a man she no more supports than Conservatives support Jimmy Carter.
The question now is will Hillary Clinton become Barry Obama’s Lyndon Johnson? Hillary still has 150 delegates separating her from Barry O which he needs to receive her voter’s support. Hillary’s as heavy-handed as LBJ, if not more, and would, as LBJ did, do everything to undermine the president in order to empower herself further toward the Oval Office.
The truth is Hillary Clinton is no different than LBJ: Johnson was a jealous man who resented anyone receiving more attention than he; LBJ was infamous for his bad temper he unleashed upon people he felt were overshadowing the spotlight he so desired; Johnson insisted upon taking all credit for everything (unless a mistake was made), never letting anyone else share the spotlight—something he did not enjoy doing with JFK. No one was allowed to be more important than Lyndon Johnson, the reason he never had a Chief of Staff; and no White House staffer was actually successful in their work, because Johnson did everything to undermine staffer’s efforts by purposely keeping White House business unorganized.
Those tactics made it possible for Johnson, and only Johnson, to take credit for the Civil Rights Act Republicans are actually responsible for enacting.
Those who think Hillary would not do the same as Vice President are kidding themselves. This is the woman who was co-president to Bill Clinton; Hillary Clinton is the volatile woman who threw lamps at the president’s head when her plans, her bills, her demands, did not go as planned. No matter what Hillary said in her speech, she has all intentions of undermining Barry Obama as Lyndon Johnson did JFK.
Despite everything Hillary said in her snake oil concession speech, she said nothing exceptional or genuinely supportive toward her opposition. Hillary’s speech was her stratagem for the presidency she has every intention of resurrecting in four years. Hillary told the crowd they must fight for women’s rights and gay rights (emphasized twice to let Americans know women and gays have no rights in America), Universal Healthcare, taxes raised on the wealthy and corporate America, making everyone in America, no matter their ancestry or country of birth, welcome.
In other words, illegals and Mark Rich are fully welcome and exempt from the law so long as they vote Democrat and remember Hillary in four years.
Madame Romanov Clinton told her serfs America needs an economy “that is broadly distributed and shared;” but until that day comes America “will always find me on the front lines of democracy.” That would be the democracy of liberals: Marxism.
Hillary informed the crowd of Hillarina’s: “we all know this has been a tough fight, but the Democratic Party is a family…” In that case Dick Cheney should have been there since Cheney, in fact, is family.
This concession speech was no more a surrender or compromise to Obama than Michelle Obama’s college thesis speaks highly of whites in America. Hillary Clinton set herself up for a VP nomination and a 2012 run: If Obama wins and Hillary is picked as VP, she will do everything to ensure Obama’s true colors erupt, his administration fails, and Hillary’s supporters demand she step up to the plate and run against a bankrupt Obama.
It’s entirely possible. Never put anything past the Clinton’s. When the Clinton’s are involved in anything, including endorsing a candidate, they have designs for themselves and themselves only, not the person they are allegedly championing.
The Clinton’s don’t champion anyone; they move in for the kill, demolish, and conquer.
We have not seen the last of Hillary Romanov Clinton. The humble pie pull out was merely the inauguration of a devised strategy for a Hillary Presidency she has every intention of securing no matter who she has to walk over to obtain her objective.
If Obama foolishly nominates Hillary, he better know how to dive over an Oval Office sofa, because Michelle and Hillary will make the Clinton Lamp Wars look like walk in the park with shoes.
