WHAT WAS HILLARY THINKING WHEN SHE OFFERED THE ASSASSINATION SCENERIO?

MAYBE CHECKING THE CLINTONS PAST ARKANSAS HISTORY WILL HELP

So Cal, USA – Back in the day when Bill Clinton was President, it seemed that things were fine, at least at first. Bill was smart, he played the sax on ‘Arsenio’ wearing shades, so he was cool, and it seemed that life was good. Then the ‘Whitewater’ scandal hit and wouldn’t go away. Shortly after that, the sexual dirty laundry hit the clothes line. Aside from the scandals Bill Clinton was doing a great job as President. He was signing stuff to protect the environment, he was hiring black people in key positions, he seemed to be ‘takin’ care of business’ across the pond via the CIA, and he was balancing the budget so folks had money in their pockets. As I said, life was good. So the first time I met someone from Arkansas, I jokingly asked if they knew ‘Bill Clinton’.
To my surprise they gave me an earful, and none of it was good. So OK, I put that down to an Arkansas person who didn’t like Bill. But as I bumped into more and more people over time from Arkansas, the reply was always the same. They didn’t like Bill or Hillary, though there was never any specific reason, like ‘he raised taxes’ or ‘he didn’t do anything while in office’. I checked and in the election, Bill Clinton didn’t carry his own state, a feat duplicated by Al Gore in his bid for Presidency. What does it mean when your home state won’t vote for you? Does it mean, like family, they really know you? After a while a website opened up offering gag Clinton money, cartoon T-shirts, bumper stickers, and other memorabilia, none of it positive. Aside from this, more and more ‘reports’ surfaced about the Clinton climb to Gubernatorial power, a climb littered with the bodies of 35 ‘people who got in the way’. Even shortly after entering the Presidency, a key man of the Clintons was found dead under suspicious circumstances though the death was ruled a suicide. Later in the Administration’s term, Ron Brown, another right hand man, died in a plane crash that also seemed suspicious at the time. Reports coming from the anti-Clinton camps suggests these men were killed because they represented a weak link in the Clinton chain. The John Travolta movie, ‘Primary Colors’ was supposedly based on the rise of Bill Clinton to the Presidency and we all remember how the homey country charm of the lead character revealed a seamy and murderous underside at the climax of the film. So perhaps Hillary misspoke, or perhaps Hillary was just doing a Freudian slip about the reality of this country, a reality that she herself knows to exist.
