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:
-
-
HILLARY, As First Lady, 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
were 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known, her name had to be withdrawn.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's
involvement in hiring
Livingstone. After that, the FBI
closed its White House Liaison
Office, after serving seven
presidents for over thirty years.)
-
-
HILLARY, 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), 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.
-
-
HILLARY also assumed the duty of
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
Bill 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 accepted the traditional
First Lady's role of decorator of
the White House at Christmas, but in
a unique Hillary way. In 1994, for
example, The First Lady's Tree in
the Blue Room (the focal point each
year) was Decorated with drug
paraphernalia, sex toys, and
pornographic ornaments, all
personally approved by Hillary as
the invited artists' depictions of
the theme, "The Twelve Days of
Christmas."
-
-
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.
-
-
HILLARY then left the White House,
but later had to return $200,000 in
White House furniture, china, and
artwork she had stolen.
-
-
HILLARY played the "woman card" in
the campaign for the Senate, 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.)
-
-
HILLARY, as the junior Senator from
New York , 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.
-
-
Quite
a resume, isn't it? Sounds more like
an organized crime family.
