Hillary Clinton has what it takes to become the most powerful woman in the world.

 

Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton born October 26, 1947, is going to be the next President of the United States of America. And her Vice President will be Senator Barack Hussein Obama born August 4, 1961. The union will be a revolution in gender and a breakthrough in the color bar that will change the face of American politics forever.

Hillary Clinton is not the first woman to have aspirations to sit in the Oval office. Shirley Chisholm tried in 1972; she went out slipping and skidding on the Democratic platform. Pat Schroeder tried on the Democratic ticket in 1992 and Elizabeth Dole ran for the Republicans in 2000. They all failed.

Hillary Clinton has what it takes to become the most powerful woman in the world.

The final face off will be a “revenge match” between Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani who had to drop out of the New York Senate race in 2001, after being stricken by cancer. Hillary Clinton won that round. Now, Giuliani is back. The fight is not over.

The Senator from New York has to soften her “Madam Mao” surgical steel trap image The Republicans are going to stick Slick Willie on her back. Monica Lewinsky is going to be reborn during the campaign, so is Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones. They will be paraded through the hoedown of insidious politics. A three step shame and scandal show, line dancing to the Southern Country fiddle and banjo strains of Tammy Wynette’s ‘Stand by Your Man.’ Giuliani is a divorcée, who has had questionable financial connections. If you like mud wrestling, the next Presidential elections are going to blow you away. This is going to be a blast for Late Night Talk Shows and stand up comics.

And of course: There is Hillary’s husband. Former President, prime source of her international humiliation, brilliant politician, master campaigner and tactician. She could have divorced him. She chose to stay. I mean, how do you divorce The President of The United States? Someone should write a twelve step program on that.

Al. Gore sidelined Bill Clinton during his run for the White House. He lost to George Bush by a hanging Chad in Florida. The jury is still out on that one. They are busy attending the conference on Global Warming being held on the snow less summit of Mount Fuji in Japan. The Clintons double barreled assault on opponents in the next Presidential elections should be documented and included in the curriculum at the War College. Shock and Awe, slash and burn… any way you look at it, it’s not going to be pretty.

Hillary Clinton‘s psychological need to leave her Carbon Footprint in America and on the world is her Phoenix syndrome complex that will restore her dignity as a woman of substance. And if in the process, the critics point out that she stayed with her husband just so that she could use his political brilliance she will swear that she still loves him despite his many infidelities. So she used him…. So? What better story of a woman scorned, who rose from domestic ashes to become the most powerful woman in the world? Most First Ladies, after they leave the White House live resplendent existences filled with rearview memories and home spun bliss. After Bill Clinton’s Presidential Ball was over she could have hibernated and eventually divorced him. Instead she parlayed his political expertise into a shrewd strategy and won the New York senate seat. They moved to Chappaqua, north of New York. Suddenly they were New Yorkers. They both knew then, that Hillary was sharpening her spikes for the White House Marathon. Bill Clinton chose to open his office in Harlem. Author Toni Morrison had once dubbed Bill Clinton the country’s first “Black President.” Read what you want into that one.

And talking of Black. The Democratic senator from Illinois, Barack Hussein Obama. The media has been raving about his “Rock Star” image. Wonder what the Rappers and R & B folk have to say about that one? If Obama does not like The Blues he’d better start listening to Blind Lemon Jefferson and John Lee Hooker. The Republican Party is going to give him something to moan about. The “Madrassa” story is already out there. A vicious false plant but there is more to come. His reputation as a closet cigarette smoker, his experiments with cocaine…. Presently the archeological dig on Obama is ongoing. You will know, if and when they find the skeletons. His middle name, Hussein, whether Obama likes it or not, is a Muslim link that his opponents will click on as the mud begins to fly.  The present antagonism between the Islamic world and America does not need to be documented. The stupidity of the question in America, “Why Do They Hate Us?” is one from the archives of the ignoramus. Read history, you will know. With a middle name like Hussein, Obama is bound to run into innuendoes, tasteless jokes about Islam and lost votes. Never discuss religion and politics, we are told, it leads to arguments. By running, Obama has started one hell of an argument.

Obama’s father and step father were Muslim. He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is a Harvard Law Graduate. His mother a white woman from Kansas divorced Obama’s father who was born in Kenya, when the boy was just two. She remarried and moved to Indonesia. Later, at the age of six, Obama moved back to Hawaii. He is as American as they come but his middle name is Hussein and he’s running to get into the holy of holies in America. In today’s climate that middle name is a politically crutch. Websites all over cyberspace state that he is the fifth African American Senator in US history. Can he truly be labeled “Black”, if his mother was white? Tiger Woods faced the same moronic debate when he began gaining “Rock Star” status. Coming back to Barack Hussein Obama…the moment he makes it as Vice President; radical Islamic elements will latch on to his middle name like barnacles on a sunken war ship. There is no getting away from that. The radicals will see it as a triumph that a man with a Muslim middle name sits in the White House. It does not matter that Obama is a staunch member of the United Church of Christ. His middle name is Hussein. He will always be viewed by conspiracy theorists as ‘The Manchurian Candidate.’

Hillary Clinton does not want history to remember her as just being the wife of President Bill Clinton. She wants status quo and a little more. The “wife” part finally went up in smoke when Bill Clinton set fire to that cigar in the bathroom of the White House. Hillary Clinton, like so many good politicians, wants the Oval Office for all the wrong reasons. That is why she is going to win. Guys like General Colin Powell, who had all the right reasons in 1996 to run for President listened to his wife and declined to run. Good guys or gals don’t run and don’t win. Hillary Clinton is not a good ol’ gal. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. She has not yet begun to fight. Barack Hussein Obama will find out first, then America’s Mayor ……  Both Johns, McCain and Edwards are of no consequence and so are the other contenders.

President Bill Clinton back in the White House with his wife, President Hillary Clinton: ladies and gentlemen: Mr. and Mrs. President.

And what do we call Bill Clinton? “First Man” sounds corny. If you have a title, please mail suggestions to Bill Clinton’s office in Harlem before his wife becomes the 44th President of The United States. She will be grateful for your support. Her husband knows what’s in store for her. He can feel her pain.
