Hillary: 'I'd Like To Be President'

Post by _DoubtingThomas »

I will support her if he runs for office. She is all for NASA, aliens, human cloning, and advances in medicine, but sadly she is also for money in politics.

Been there. Done that. No thanks.

She is like that old quarterback that just won't retire and continues to cost the team. Please go already.

The title is misleading. She directly said that she wasn't planning on running for president. She simply said that she'd like to be president, because of course.

To the idea that she should be out of public life, it's quite an odd thing that this gets applied to Clinton and basically no one else. George W. Bush is sitting out there as one of history's worst presidents and even he doesn't get this kind of flak. Nor do other losers of presidential elections.

I don’t want her to retire from public life. I just don’t want her to run for President again.

Bush did mostly retire from public life, at least for a few years, didn’t he?

Bush II and Cheney should have been tried for war crimes ... but Obama wouldn't attack that castle.

That's because he retired from public life.

That's because they retired from public life.

The last 3 presidential losers prior Clinton retired from public life? Mitt Romney, John McCain, and John Kerry? Um, Ok. Does Utah know about this?

Clinton isn't in public life in a way that is different than Bush or basically any other political figure. She's not running for president. She gets a lot more, "she needs to go away and knit or something" commentary than any of them.

He had to slink away from major campaign events because his name was toxic, but he was still politically active. He didn't get the same press that Clinton does whenever she opens her mouth, though. That seems different.
