Hillary Fights for Space

One advantage of the Obama administration is that he has shuffled Hillary so far into the background that she is almost invisible. Even more amazing, he has rendered her quiet as a mouse. However, nobody can silence Hillary, not even Barack. Now Hillary has made her move to emerge from political Siberia. She thrust herself onto center stage in a speech in Mumbai. Hillary picked up on the Barach “apologize for America” theme. It wasn’t easy to find a subject that Barack hadn’t already apologized for, but she found it. She apologized for America’s contribution to climate change:

“We acknowledge now with President Obama that we have made mistakes in the United States, and we along with other developed countries have contributed most significantly to the problem that we face with climate change," she said. "We are hoping a great country like India will not make the same mistakes."

That is absolutely hilarious. In the first place, Hillary doesn’t have it in her bones to be sorry about anything. Her actions are totally determined by “what’s good for Hillary.” In fact, apologies are totally un-Hillary. She is fighting to get her broad backside back in front of the public. This seemed like a good theme since it played to Barack’s ego.

Nonetheless, I’m developing a complex about all these things Barack and his crowd are apologizing for. Until recently, I was proud to be American. I never realized being an American was so bad. It’s no wonder that the only thing America has done that Michelle is proud of is to elect Barack president. Obviously listening to the Reverend Wright for 20 years takes its toll on one’s thinking.
