We are getting all the early attempts to try to railroad Hillary Clinton into making a run for the presidency. So tonight Bill Clinton made a personal appearance on the David Letterman show. He was rather interesting to watch as he answered many of David's questions. They conversed about their health problems, both having had heart surgery, and both aware of how important weight is in the prevention of another attack.
Bill was very personable, rolled his eyes a lot, and appeared to be quite enjoying the time spent at David's side. David naturally played his ignorant, unlearned self, while he interrogated the former President. Bill and Hillary seem to be enjoying life after the White House stint quite well, going to movies, dining and wining in restaurants, and generally acting like normal people...so said the former president.
He explained some water filter program that sounded astonishing and well worth the trouble to distribute to needy countries. A discussion of the water filter reminded me of a video I saw that some Japanese inventor has made turning plastics back into oil. His invention is just as worthwhile as is the water filter. Both are important and necessary to help resolve many of the global problems facing us.
Then David finally broached the subject of Hillary's plans for running for the presidency. In the end after much ballyhooing around, it was decided that this is not the time to be discussing running for office in 2016 with all the important problems of the day needing to be resolved. But David suggested that she was the choice of most Democrats today. Bill flirted with the idea a bit but eventually admitted that they do not know whether she will run or not.
When given the chance to answer the question about her as a choice, I said absolutely NOT. NO, NO, and NO. I do not want the two headed monster of Bill and Hillary back in the White House again, and historically, America always goes for the new guy, unknown, who comes up on the scene by surprise. Remember Jimmy Who? So yeah, because of the Nixon debacle, we ended up with the Carter dilemma. Bill Clinton himself was relatively young and unknown so that we had to ahve Jennifer Flowers just to get attention, according to Hillary herself.
Hillary is too well known now and Benghazi is the first thing I hear hurled at her. She is definitely not the choice that the Democrats should consider for their run to keep the White House in their corner.
A good many Republicans actually sounded quite good and effective at the Kerry hearings awhile back.
Both parties have a long time to determine who will lead their party. I hope the Democrats do go for fresh faces and fresh blood along with the Republicans. It is time to let the past go and the future to begin.
