Hillary’s Resume |
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
Patrick Moynihan, 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. She then 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When Guanier's radical views became known, her name had to be withdrawn.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 hearing 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.
In order to open
“slots” in the White House for her friends the
Thomasons (to
whom millions of dollars in travel contracts could be awarded), illary
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.
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 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
resume’. Sounds more like an organized crime
family’s rap sheet.
