Clinton-Free Follow-Up

By a show of hands (or comments), who would rather be Clinton-free and who would rather be Obama-free?

Here’s a thought experiment for you:

If you could remove Obama as president but replace him only with Hillary Clinton, would you do it, with the caveat (because I think the question is too easy otherwise) that Hillary would be able to run again in 2016 whereas Obama won’t?

There is almost no difference in the political stances of these two, so stick with the known terrorist, particularly since he can not run for office again.

fmm: Agreed!

Ross,
As much as I despise Obama, and he's the most despicable president in history, by a longshot, I wouldn't hesitate to take him over H. Clinton. She is the phoniest of phonies. A godawful speaker. Ignorant of the world, of American history. A thoughtless nonentity. At least Obama made it on his own, without riding the coattails of a famous name. Just maybe he penned his books without a ghostwriter. Clinton, on the other hand, could not write her own name with letter blocks. Yes, it takes a village, a village of ghostwriters, to put her in print. Had she an obscure name, she couldn't have gotten elected to the Harper Valley PTA. So, it's Obama by a country mile in this little race.

Both are radical leftist, corrupt and lawless. We had a reminder of the Clinton brashness recently when she said "what difference does make?" to a question relating to the Administration lying to the American public over cause of the deaths of a US Ambassador and embassy staff.

In 2008, I would have picked an unknown disaster over a known corrupt disaster. Now my answer is, what difference does it make?

I am not sure I get the premise of this, as Hillary can run in 2016 either way.

I would take her over Obama only because I think she would be willing to bargain with reality when it intrudes on her goals, whereas Obama's approach is to just press on, regardless.

To learn more about Hillary, read The Shadow Party, she is hard Left, friend of Soros, believer in global governance, redistribution of wealth and too friendly to the Muslim Brotherhood.

If I had to choose, I think I would vote present.

As a former Secretary of State (whose name esapes me just now) once said, "At this point, what difference does it make?"
