Probably the sadist word of the last couple of days was the Cheney's "So?"
This was his response to Martha Raddatz’s comment that the war in Iraq has little support of the American people Probably the most pathetic development of today was Hillary's shrug: I made a mistake, that happens. (So??")The similarity of the two absurd behaviours was striking... the absence of remorse, shame, empathy or sadness for their respective disastrous wilful and wanton failures is remarkable..I have stated sadly elsewhere that having been persecuted for so often and for so long by the GOP that they think that their reality is the only reality. Unfortunately, both Clintons have taken the pallor of their persecution. In that light, they think that ugliness has reached the level of normalcy... Whether Wright or wrong, Dick and Hillary are now joined at the hip in their response to justifiable criticisms. They react the same way, move with studied precision. They should consider an audition for “Dancing with the Stars” where their ability to move as one will be legand. They are both winners... sadly
Permit me to get this off my mind.. I have been waiting to comment and have been biting my tongue so please indulge me... Maybe others have expressed this so pardon the redundancy... The Hillary's rant "shame on you Barack Obama" reminded me of a mother at her wits end, spanking her child in a mall..
I probably know the poor mother's pain... her reaction could be viewed as justified... but you know, it just ain't right... Like the mother, Hillary's reaction reeked of frustration and nerves in shambles... but like the frustrated mother, it just ain't right... Worse, it bothers me because it made me feel: Is that the way she will speak to foreign heads of state who offend her? How will she react if Sarcozy of France were to make a pass at her? (As you know he recently married his mistress and is now on the lookout for a new one) Will the US President tear up? Will the President hold up the Communist Manifesto and scold Dimitri? Or will she swagger in mock imitation of Putin? Questions abound...
I saw the tears of NH and thought "well it is nice for people to show hurt" and despite the skeptics and even if they were somewhat contrived, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. At least she is a good actor... But...
In her rant and her new mocking display, from this vantage point, she did not appear to reflect the confidence of someone who is ready for the highest office in the world... From the first day or any day for that matter...
If hers is the demeanor of a head of state in waiting, how is Hillary to take the aesthetic, if not moral high road with Chavez?... It does not become her... pity
Like many, I wish to see the past behind us and look forward to the "New United States", under Obama... "ObamUS" if you will...
I saw Romney's presentation this morning from the Bush Sr. Library. The subject was his view on religion and the Presidency. It was his view that there should not be complete separation of Church and State. (I thought the Bible said: Give to Caesar etc.) anyway, only one thing crossed my mind and I say: I never knew Jack Kennedy, he was not my friend. I do not know Romney and it will be unlikely that I will ever get to be his friend...but I do know one thing. Romney is no Kennedy...
