IF Hillary were a man she would not be in her position. To make matters worse if she was not married to Bill Clinton she would not be in the position she is in. She could never have gotten this far on her own merit.
"I have been thinking some more on Geraldine's comment about Obama. And regarding how he got where he is today, she is wrong.
I accept her underlying premise that there are females and minorities who got where they are today because of race and gender, and not because of ability or merit. I accept that there are hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions, who were passed over for hiring and promoting who were much more qualified than the people who got the job or promotion.
Here though, I disagree with Geraldine and I will bring up Condoleeza Rice in a discussion of Obama. It is possible that at some point in their lives, Obama and Rice could have benefitted from affirmative action policies. That being said, IMO, it is not possible that either of them got where they are solely because of race or gender. While I hope Obama's campaing ends up on the trash heap of history, I believe that he is very intelligent and would have succeeded in many other ventures.
Hillary, on the other hand, is a moron. She achieved what she did because of her gender, and who she married. And being a leftist who follows Saul Alinsky, the ruthlessness of his philosophy has also helped her a lot.
Now as to who got what or where they ended up, both Hillary and Geraldine have been huge supporters of affirmative action and quotas and entitlements. But now, someone has arrived on the scene who is stating in essence - "I'm entitled." Their response? "Yeah, you're entitled, but not against US!"
And one more little thing about Obama. Remember when Trent Lott was excoriated for saying he thought Strom Thurmond would have been a great President? Well, Obama needs to have the same thing dished out to him. His preacher buddy used the mantle of Christianity to preach a message of hate against whites, and to curse America. He used the pulpit to perform an obscene performance of Bill Clinton having sex with Monica. Obama should be held accountable for this. But you know something else? This is a church with a pastor preaching hate against whites, hatred of America, with a dash low class porn. No doubt this is a Democrat church. Bill and Hillary would feel quite at home there."
