DON'T CRY FOR ME ...MY AMERICA!

DONT CRY FOR ME...  MY AMERICA

Hillary Clinton is high flying, adored and will become "Madam President" according to Senator Claire McCaskill at a recent event of the same name hosted by Emily's List in Iowa.

 

We have apparently entered an age of "firsts" with Obama as our first black President.  Now apparently it is the intention of the elites who rule us to run the table with Hillary as the first woman President followed by our first Latino/Latina, our first Gay or Lesbian and our first Trans-gendered POTUS, the latter who if from California, will be allowed to use what ever public restroom in the White House they seem inclined to need on any particular day.  This if for nothing else will add a touch of spice to those on White House tours, provided those tours of the "Peoples House"  have resumed.

 

NBC and CNN have planned a docu-drama and a documentary about

Hillary causing the Republicans to cry foul when they simply should demand that each film  truthfully include "Hillarycare", White Water, the Rose Law Firm billing records, Vince Foster, "Travelgate", cattle futures, Chinese money, Marc Rich, Lewinsky, Flowers etc, the "Russian Reset" and Benghazi in all their dubious glory.   A blue dress with a stain could provide a suitable backdrop for either film with the stain forming the dot for the "i" in "Hillary" superimposed over the dress.

 This former "Goldwater Girl" who discovered Saul Alinsky and then Bill Clinton...a sequence which should have sent her into therapy instead of the Arkansas Governors Mansion and then the White House, remains a riddle wrapped in a mystery shrouded in an enigma.

 

After the White House she migrated to New York where she was elected U. S. Senator as a prelude to her coronation as President.  This caused her co-Senator, Chuck Schumer much angst and agita since she had this nasty habit of sucking the oxygen out of every room they shared making it impossible for Schumer to talk non stop without taking a breath.

 

In the run up to 2008 she seemed unbeatable.  She had now spent 16 years as First Lady/Co-President and Senator, telling us constantly that "she would be very good " for us.  Then from out of left field came the man with dreams from his father and suddenly Hillary ceased to be inevitable and Bill ended the campaign disliking Obama so much that he begged Hillary in 2012 to run against him because he was such an "Amateur"

By then she had been Secretary of State for four years with frequent flyer credits for over a million miles as she traveled to almost every country on the globe on a "Rainbow Tour" that produced little in the way of substance, but much in carbon emissions.

 

Benghazi became her swan song after she had, with other macho women, forced the "henpecked" President to take a forceful stance on Libya , even if he chose to do it from behind...her.  Her subsequent abysmal performance on 09/11/2012 made her earlier bellicosity all the more discordant as she squirmed and wiggled her way out of being thrown under the bus for what amounted to gross incompetence and worse, as brave men died on her watch.

 

She then let U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice lie like her husband to the nation over what happened in Benghazi and why, on five networks on Sunday September 16th.  Prior to this she had been the first to to declare that the "Video" was the cause of the attack and even had the ill grace to promise the relatives of the slain Americans that the maker of that video would be caught and punished.

 

Finally in 2013, Congress corralled her for a hearing to determine what happened in Benghazi and why... at which she now famously declared "At this point what difference does it make...we have to find out what happened and why"  Huh?  This was vintage Clinton (take your pick of which one)!

 

Now she is busy getting questionably richer off of philanthropic dollars at the "Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation" and the  "Clinton Global Initiative, according to a Wednesday New York Times expose.  Simultaneously she  makes inflammatory speeches about voter suppression of black voters because even with a highly publicized lunch with "O" in the Rose Garden that has been widely interpreted as a tacit endorsement of her 2016 run  to become  his successor, this does not make her or "Bubba" trust that the "Bam" will deliver his core voters to her when she needs them.

 

In 1848  Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Coffin Mott, Martha Coffin Wright, and others organized an influential Women's Rights Convention, also known as the Seneca Falls Convention, at the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Seneca Falls N.Y. where a "Declaration of Sentiments" was adopted.  Later Susan B. Anthony joined with Stanton to form the "Women's Temperance Movement" which became over time  the modern Woman's Rights Movement.

 

All of these great Americans had a vision that one day not only would women have the vote but that  a woman would also lead the country.  I believe they envisioned someone with the rock solid integrity of an American Maggie Thatcher and not the cultlike celebrity of an American Eva Peron to be the torchbearer.  But in order for Hillary to play  that torchbearer, she needs to be transformed into  the culmination of the dream and not the continuation of the nightmare that her past has been.  To do this it is not inconceivable that yet a third movie about Hillary will have to be made called "Desperately Seeking Susan B. Anthony" where the Hillary character would sing:

"Don't cry for me Liz and Susan

The truth is that now I need you

All through my Wild Bill days

My mad existence

I stayed on message

Don't keep your distance

because to win

All I need is for the Money to keep rolling in!"
