I’ve been a cynic about the election from day one and when some of my European friends asked me what the chances were that we would get a black President I told them to stop dreaming. Amazingly enough, Barack Obama has indeed inspired so many people that he’s actually ahead of the woman that everyone called the front runner before the race had even begun - Hillary Clinton.
What’s interesting to watch, other than the fact that ABC made complete fools out of themselves during the last televised debate, is how Hillary Clinton is re-adjusting her game as things go. If anyone had said years ago that Clinton would very difficult to distinguish from Senator Mcain, surely many people would have been surprised. Today, it seems normal that Clinton is touting the same kind of rhetoric that our great president has been using throughout the past years. Clinton, when asked how she would react to a nuclear attack against Iran, replied by stating that she would “obliterate” Iran. Nothing like using strategic rhetoric to keep the door of communication open with the rest of the world.
People keep talking about character and how it’s important to them in terms of deciding on the new presidential nominee. I personally don’t think that’s very important but if you do look at what Hillary Clinton has done in her career it’s rather obvious to see what’s going on. She’ll say anything, do anything in order to make her PR campaign known to the nation. She accused Barack of being elitist, but hasn’t pumped her own gas in ages. To me it seems if her marriage really was a strong blow to her, and to make up for it she’s running for president. I wouldn’t have any problem with her running except that i think she’s so damn phony that I have a hard time watching her on TV.
I believe Hillary Clinton has been in Washington for so long, that she knows how to pander to certain groups of people. Now of course she’s pandering to the right, and I hope to some deity that she doesn’t become the nominee. Thinks are looking good but who knows.
I wonder what she will say next to move another step closer towards fulfilling her dream, not that of the United States.
