How will you spend your Thanksgiving break?
So far, President Obama has been an all-around disappointment. His most important accomplishment is not accomplishing anything, and he has an infantile tendency to try to silence, ignore and/or castigate anyone who disagrees with him — as if the critics of George W. Bush weren't equally, if not more, virulent than Obama's critics.
But there is more than meets the eye in this lackluster presidency.
Unfortunately, while the "Obama Show" looks like it's about to be canceled due to low ratings, "Everybody Loves Hillary" might make a comeback due to popular demand. Don't get me wrong, I don't find either sitcom the least bit funny, but the network is failing and there's not much of a choice.
But seriously — Hillary Clinton has suddenly become the most evasive person in Obama's cabinet. Sure, she gives an interview here and there, but other than that she hasn't made a peep on any substantial issue. She appears to be the rat that's got away from the sinking ship.
If things keep going the way they're going, I predict that one of two things will happen. One: By 2012, Obama will be so unpopular that the Democrats will vote to have Clinton run instead of him. Two (and this is more likely): A Republican (assuming there will be one more exciting than a dead toenail) will beat Obama and allow Clinton to run in 2016.
Now, I know that the liberal psychos will come out of the woodwork and say that I don't know what I'm talking about. I've heard it before. But mark my words, Clinton will run again for the presidency and, deep down, is hoping Obama fails.
You don't think so?
We all know the name Clinton is synonymous with ego, and they would sell Chelsea to the Chinese for another four years inside the White House, not just to be near it.
Who else in the Democratic Party has a chance at the presidency? Gavin Newsom? Nancy Pelosi? Possibly, but it's more likely that Clinton will be president of the United States. She knows it, and she's not an idiot. She's keeping her mouth shut and her ego in check. She's stepping back from the spotlight and letting this pathetic excuse for a president have his embarrassing 15 minutes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Clinton, and I don't pander to either party. I am an individual who thinks for himself, not for somebody who tells me he can give me change by blindly worshiping a false idol. My words are harsh because few people speak truth to power, especially at Nouveau York University. This country needs more heated words, because while the sheep are grazing, their barn is burning.
And even though I disagree with Clinton on a range of issues, I believe she can turn this country around. She has an ego, yes, but it's not a fragile ego like Obama's. Obama is like a naive, young college graduate, running the country with grandiose plans that have neither backbone nor specific objectives on how to efficiently and effectively carry out those plans without becoming a dictator. Instead of tackling issues, he lets them fester, and singles out people and organizations like Fox News for all the woes he faces. This is something Bill Clinton or Bush would never do, regardless of what you think about them, and it's something that Clinton, or any competent person, wouldn't do either.
