A FRIENDLY REMINDER-----------------
Just in case you may think this person would make a good president.
Hillary Clinton has been telling America that she is the most qualified
candidate for president based on her 'record,' which she says includes her eight
years in the White House as First Lady - or 'co-president' - and her
seven years in the Senate. Here is a reminder of what that record includes:
- As First Lady, Hillary assumed authority over Health Care Reform, a process
that cost the taxpayers over $13 million. She told both Bill Bradley and Pat Moynahan,
key votes needed to pass her legislation, that she would 'demonize'
anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed; she couldn't even get it to a vote in
a Congress controlled by her own party. (And in the next election, her party
lost control of both the House and Senate.)
- Hillary assumed authority over selecting a female Attorney General. Her first
two recommendations (Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood) were forced to withdraw their
names from consideration, and then she chose Janet Reno. Janet Reno
has since been described by Bill himself as 'my worst mistake.'
- Hillary recommended Lani Guanier for head of the Civil Rights Commission.
When Guanier's radical views became known, her name had to be withdrawn.
- Hillary recommended her former law partners, Web Hubbell, Vince Foster, and
William Kennedy for positions in the Justice Department, White House
staff, and the Treasury, respectively. Hubbell was later imprisoned, Foster committed
suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.
- Hillary also recommended a close friend of the Clinton's, Craig Livingstone,
for the position of director of White House security. When Livingstone was
investigated for the improper access of up to 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies
(Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, both Hillary
and her husband denied knowing him. (FBI agent Dennis Sculimbrene confirmed in a
Senate Judiciary Committee in 1996 both the drug use and Hillary's involvement in
hiring Livingstone. After that, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office,
after serving seven presidents for over thirty years.)
- In order to open 'slots' in the White House for her friends the Harry Thomasons (to whom
millions of dollars in travel contracts could be awarded), Hillary had the entire staff of the
White House Travel Office fired; they were reported to the FBI for 'gross mismanagement' and their
reputations ruined. After a thirty-month investigation, only one, Billy Dale, was charged with a
crime - mixing personal money with White House funds when he cashed checks. The
jury acquitted him in less than two hours.
- Another of Hillary's assumed duties was directing the 'bimbo eruption squad' and scandal defense:
---- She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit.
---- She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the
appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of
taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which
led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
---- Then they had to settle with Paula Jones after all.
---- And Bill lost his law license for lying to the grand jury
---- And Bill was impeached by the House.
---- And Hillary almost got herself indicted for perjury and obstruction of
justice (she avoided it mostly because she repeated, 'I do not
recall,' 'I have no recollection,' and 'I don't know' 56 times under oath).
---- Hillary wrote 'It Takes a Village,' demonstrating her Socialist viewpoint.
---- Hillary decided to seek election to the Senate in a state she had never lived
in. Her husband pardoned FALN terrorists in order to get Latino support and the
New Square Hassidim to get Jewish support. Hillary also had Bill pardon her
brother's clients, for a small fee, to get financial support.
---- Then Hillary left the White House, but later had to return $200,000 in White
House furniture, china, and artwork she had stolen.
---- In the campaign for the Senate, Hillary played the 'woman card' by portraying
her opponent (Lazio) as a bully picking on her.
---- Hillary's husband further protected her by asking the National Archives to
withhold from the public until 2012 many records of their time in the White
House, including much of Hillary's correspondence and her calendars.
(There are ongoing lawsuits to force the release of those records.)
---- As the junior Senator from New York, Hillary has passed no major legislation.
she has deferred to the senior Senator (Schumer) to tend to the needs of New
Yorkers, even on the hot issue of medical problems of workers involved in the
cleanup of Ground Zero after 9/11.
---- Hillary's one notable vote, supporting the plan to invade Iraq, she has since disavowed.
Quite a resume, isn't it? Sounds more like an organized crime family...
