The Clinton Chameleon: Hillary
Clinton Changing into Obama Now?
By Carrie K. Hutchens
It's been
entertaining over the past months watching Hillary change her
position from this to that and back again, depending upon what
audience has been before her and how the tide was flowing at that
particular moment. Even more interesting is how she stepped off the
plane as Obama-Hillary. After all, it appears because it worked for
him in Iowa, Hillary is now going to be the candidate for the young
in New Hampshire. Does she likewise intend to be the black candidate
in South Carolina since Obama carries that off so well, too?
According to the ABC
News article "Hillary
Clinton Says She is 'Most Innocent' on Campaign Trail" by Kate
Snow (January 4, 2008), "As for losing Iowa, she discounted the
impact. "Iowa doesn't have the best track record in determining who
the party nominates," Clinton said. She offered several explanations
for the loss. "I was never a front-runner of any significance in
Iowa. I knew it had a lot of difficulties that were there in terms
of my candidacy," she argued, perhaps referring to being the only
female candidate in the race. "I knew it was always gonna be hard
for me."
She admitted that her
campaign lost support among younger Iowans. "
The article likewise
says, "Clinton also faulted the caucus system for some of her
troubles. She said that New Hampshire's primary vote would be more
favorable for her since working voters have all day to show up and
vote and don't have to arrive at a specific time required in Iowa
under its unique caucus system. In New Hampshire, Clinton explained,
"you're not disenfranchised if you work at night. You're not
disenfranchised if you're not in the state."
If Iowa doesn't have
such a good track record, why did Bill Clinton, and crowd, work so
very hard to get the endorsement of the Des Moines Register?
If the Iowa caucus
system is so faulty, why did Clinton even bother with the state and
its cornfields?
One can only wonder
if Hillary Clinton got the shock of her life when she was beaten,
not just by Obama, but by John Edwards as well. Maybe it was only
then that she began to feel that Iowa is flawed. It must be! After
all, she is invincible. All anyone has had to do is ask her and
she'd tell them so. Then the Iowans come along and dare to suggest
differently? Something must be wrong with them. It couldn't be her.
It couldn't be that maybe people actually, with good cause, don't
want her for our next president.
The article also
said, "She congratulated rivals Obama and John Edwards and thanked
the others in the field.
"Together we have
presented the case for change and made it absolutely clear that
America needs a new beginning," Clinton said, using one of the key
lines from her closing argument in Iowa."
Of course, it
couldn't be "the people" who have made the case and made it clear,
now could it? Hillary, the one who seems to think we need her making
our decisions for us, most likely can't fathom that the American
people are not all drooling idiots, but rather, intelligent forms of
life who can process information without her assistance and
self-serving translations.
In the Clinton
travels there seems to be a trail of people blamed for whatever has
gone wrong. Iowans are just the most recent in the long list it
seems.
Perhaps New Hampshire
will take their place at the bottom of the list by bumping them up
one. It's an event to look forward to as we continue to watch the
"Clinton Chameleon" change into whatever she feels will benefit her
in the moment. Heaven forbid, after all, that she intentionally show
the voters the real Hillary Clinton.
But then again...
just maybe she has unintentionally done just that. Iowans certainly
saw something they didn't like and stood behind their conviction!
Now, we'll just have to wait and see how Obama-Hillary does in New
Hampshire!
