The experience of Hillary Clinton needs to be recalled: she claims her years as first lady as actually having served as informal co-president. (Many former staffers support this claim.) Ergo, she must, then, take co-responsibility for the results the Clinton record on NAFTA and China admission in World Trade (resulting in a lot of Indiana factories being closed), her botched opportunity @ national health care program, the embarrassing (drama-trauma) White House sex scandals (and lies about them), disastrous welfare “reform” which the Clintons co-opted from the Republicans and resulted in the destruction of thousands of poor families, the deregulation (and resulting corruption and scandal) of financial institutions and energy and telecommunications giants, and–well, the “corporatization of America” that has created such disadvantage for the average working person and family. The current bleeding of American jobs and the outrageous greed of the rich and powerful were all seeded in her co-dependent co-presidency.

As senator, she voted to authorize the invasion of Iraq, then said she didn’t mean it, then authorized the same action in Iran! Then she said she’d use massive retaliation against any Middle Eastern country that attacked its neighbor.

This is no time for amnesia.
