After watching Hillary Clinton I can't help but conclude that she embodies the traits of two of the worst presidents in modern history: Nixon and Carter.
Secrecy, playing the blame game and creating hate lists were major components to Richard Nixon's downfall. It might surprise many that these same traits are also major components to Hillary's personality. One of the many reasons why her health care program tanked was due to her unwillingness to have open meetings and discuss her plan with Washington old timers who had more experience than she did and could have helped draft a compromise plan. Instead meetings were held in secrecy and anyone who blocked her were added to her hate list.
She still operates in the same way today. No one believes that her campaign staff makes a single step without her approval and yet she ruthlessly tosses aside loyal staffers rather than admit any of the recent missteps might have been her fault. Hillary, like Nixon, also tracks her "enemies" in hate lists and holds grudges for a long time. Her "enemies" are numerous ranging from the "right wing conspirators" to anyone who gets in her way of what she believes is her destiny to become the next president. A key to her true personality was her sarcastic laughing at Obama during the last democratic debate. That laugh makes one think that she delights in watching the downfall of anyone who stands in her way.
Religion is playing a major role in the Republican race but is ignored in the Democratic race (except for the shots at Obama about his Muslim relatives by Clinton's staff). Yet after reading a number of articles and the illuminating biography by Carl Bernstein you realize that Hillary approaches religion the same way Jimmy Carter did. Both can be termed "Christian activists" who strongly believe that God is with them and He wants them to help the poor and disadvantage. To their credit, both Clinton and Carter truly believe that their religion demands that they take action. But that makes them scarier since they feel that they are doing God's work and are blind to how their actions might hurt others. Again, Hillary's many plans are focused on the poor with absolutely no regard to how it would negatively affect the middle class.
Hillary Clinton is truly "a perfect storm" encompassing the worst traits of Nixon and Carter. This country barely survived the secrecy, hate lists and blame games of Nixon and the religious righteousness of Carter. And now we have Hillary who's personality is a lethal combination of these destructive traits plus toss in her husband, who is a walking time bomb himself, and this country might not survive four years of Hillary.

ReplyDeleteGreat comments. You nailed it. I wonder if the voters in new Hampshire were aware of the fact that the Clinton's have taken out anyone who has come out against them and done a great job of keeping it out of the public eye, with exception to the Monica Lewinsky trial. Matt Drudge wasn't going to let them get away that easy. Liberal sources had that story for 2 weeks and didn't say a DAMN WORD!!! Like hell they'd do that with a conservative president.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. Keep up the good work.
