Hillary in Midair (Major MSM Clinton for president puff-piece)
New York Magazine ^ | Sunday, September 22, 2013 | Joe Hagan

Posted on 09/22/2013 7:30:44 AM PDT by kristinn

For four years, Hillary Rodham Clinton flew around the world as President Barack Obama’s secretary of State, while her husband, the former president Bill Clinton, lived a parallel life of speeches and conferences in other hemispheres. They communicated almost entirely by phone. They were seldom on the same continent, let alone in the same house.

But this year, all that has changed: For the first time in decades, neither one is in elected office, or running for one. Both are working in the family business, in the newly renamed nonprofit that once bore only Bill’s name but is now called the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, which will hold its annual conference in New York next week.

“We get to be at home together a lot more now than we used to in the last few years,” says Hillary Clinton. “We have a great time; we laugh at our dogs; we watch stupid movies; we take long walks; we go for a swim.

“You know,” she says, “just ordinary, everyday pleasures.”

In the world of the Clintons, of course, what constitutes ordinary and everyday has never been either. So the question was inevitable: Given who he is, and who she is, does Bill, among their guffaws over the dogs and stupid movies, harangue her daily about running for president?

To this, Hillary Rodham Clinton lets loose one of her loud, head-tilted-back laughs. “I don’t think even he is, you know, focused on that right now,” she says. “Right now, we’re trying to just have the best time we can have doin’ what we’re doin’. ”

There’s a weightlessness about Hillary Clinton these days. She’s in midair, launched from the State Department toward … what?

“Never again must she be allowed to approach the levers of authority, for that day will spell the doom of the Republic.”

Looking back on the last 30 or 40 years that I’ve been able to vote, I find it amazing that the same cast of characters always seems to be jockeying for position and power.

We seriously need to implement terms limits for congressional seats, and not allow a constant revolving door in and out of other appointed positions.

What a regtag collection of criminals and reprobates. Is this REALLY the best we can do?

The leftist media is determined to sell us one corrupt, unaccomplished marxist after another until they've buried us all.

There will not be enough rope when the time comes, IMO.

I think at this point, Hillary could not possibly be the worst president in American history. She’d be a Romulus Augustulus.

I get what you’re saying, and that’s scary.

Romulus Augustulus was the last emperor of the Roman Empire. Rome fell when he was in power. The analogy that America as we know it comes to an end, with President Hillary, is not something we want to comtemplate.

Yes, because they are all in league, including the press, and they will DESTROY any decent person who steps up to run.

This is not a Democracy.

Nor is this a Constitutional Republic.

We live under an Oligarchy.

He also came to power under legitimacy issues.

Right, and the only way Comrade Barry will give up his throne is if Hillary has him Fostered.

The narrative is being set. They are so in love with each other. Such a stable couple.

Hill is doubling down on heterosexuality. She must really want the Oval Office bad to fake it for a few more years. Of course, a complicit press helps.

Examine her personality. She has the need to dominate. It’s not enough that her subjects obey her commands; they must be forced to obey against their will, or the needed gratification is not derived.<<

Well, I'm no photoshop expert, but I figured I couldn't do much worse. A little digital nip/tuck, some subtle blurring to take care of the wrinkles, and a little adjustment to brighten up the eyes, and Voila!
