Hillary's Résumé
Just in case you may think this person would make a good president.
Hillary Clinton has been telling America that she is the most
qualified candidate for president based on her 'record,' which she
says includes her eight years in the White House as First Lady - or
'co-president' - and her seven years in the Senate. Here is a
reminder of what that record includes:
- As First Lady, Hillary assumed authority over Health Care Reform, a
process that cost the taxpayers over $13 million. She told both Bill
Bradley and Pat Moynahan, key votes needed to pass her legislation,
that she would 'demonize' anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed;
she couldn't even get it to a vote in a Congress controlled by her own
party. (And in the next election, her party lost control of both the
House and Senate.)
- Hillary assumed authority over selecting a female Attorney General.
Her first two recommendations (Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood) were forced
to withdraw their names from consideration, and then she chose Janet
Reno. Janet Reno has since been described by Bill himself as 'my
worst mistake.'
- Hillary recommended Lani Guanier for head of the Civil Rights
Commission. When Guanier's radical views became known, her name had
to be withdrawn.
- Hillary recommended her former law partners, Web Hubbell, Vince
Foster, and William Kennedy for positions in the Justice Department,
White House staff, and the Treasury, respectively. Hubbell was later
imprisoned, Foster committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to
resign.
- Hillary also recommended a close friend of the Clintons, Craig
Livingstone, for the position of director of White House security.
When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of up to 900
FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of
drugs by White House staff, both Hillary and her husband denied
knowing him. (FBI agent Dennis Sculimbrene confirmed in a Senate
Judiciary Committee in 1996 both the drug use and Hillary' involvement
in hiring Livingstone. After that, the FBI closed its White House
Liaison Office, after serving seven presidents for over thirty years.)
- In order to open 'slots' in the White House for her friends the
Harry Thomasons (to whom millions of dollars in travel contracts
could be awarded), Hillary had the entire staff of the White House
Travel Office fired; they were reported to the FBI for 'gross
mismanagement' and their reputations ruined. After a thirty-month
investigation, only one, Billy Dale, was charged with a crime - mixing
personal money with White House funds when he cashed checks. The jury
acquitted him in less than two hours.
- Another of Hillary's assumed duties was directing the 'bimbo
eruption squad' and scandal defense:
---- She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit.
---- She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the
appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million
dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation led to
Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his
affairs.
---- Then they had to settle with Paula Jones after all.
---- And Bil l lost his law license for lying to the grand jury
---- And Bill was impeached by the House.
---- And Hillary almost got herself indicted for perjury and
obstruction of justice (she avoided it mostly because she repeated, 'I
do not recall,' 'I have no recollection,' and 'I don't know' 56 times
under oath).
- Hillary wrote 'It Takes a Village,' demonstrating her Socialist
viewpoint.
- Hillary decided to seek election to the Senate in a state she had
never lived in. Her husband pardoned FALN terrorists in order to get
Latino support and the New Square Hassidim to get Jewish support.
Hillary also had Bill pardon her brother's clients, for a small fee,
to get financial support.
- Then Hillary left the White House, but later had to return $200,000
in White House furniture, china, and artwork she had stolen.
- In the campaign for the Senate, Hillary played the 'woman card' by
portraying her opponent (Lazio) as a bully picking on her.
- Hillary's husband further protected her by asking the National
Archives to withhold from the public until 2012 many records of their
time in the White House, including much of Hillary's correspondence
and her calendars. (There are ongoing lawsuits to force the release
of those records.)
- As the junior Senator from New York, Hillary has passed no major
legislation. she has deferred to the senior Senator (Schumer) to tend
to the needs of New Yorkers, even on the hot issue of medical problems
of workers involved in the cleanup of Ground Zero after 9/11.
- Hillary's one notable vote, supporting the plan to invade Iraq, she
has since disavowed.
Quite a résumé, isn't it? Sounds more like an organized crime
family...
