Hillary Rodham Clinton’s behavior has hit a new low of ethical and moral standards among American national political figures. Her recent comments about Bobby Kennedy’s assassination were not just tasteless and wrong-headed, they unmask her as a person willing to do anything for her own personal gain.
In the past, she has made comments or [...]

I am truly disturbed by Hillary

Hillary was angling for the VP spot
May
Share
I said a month ago that Hillary Clinton’s calculus might have been designed specifically to capture a VP spot on a joint ticket, if she could not win the nomination. Here is what I said on April 23rd:
Ultimately, David Gergen, a very prescient political analyst on CNN, may be right. He said it may [...]
Hillary Clinton’s Michigan and Florida argument
May
Share
The Jed Report has a video with the facts regarding what the Clinton campaign said and when regarding Florida and Michigan. She is being quite disingenuous on this issue and is further undermining her credibility as an honest person. Watch the video.
Unbelievable Clinton debt load
May
Share
I am flabbergasted at this figure: $31 million. In no other country would any politician run up this much debt in an election. It speaks to the cost of our current system of democracy. Isn’t there a less costly way to run a country?
The LA Times is reporting that Hillary Clinton is [...]
Clinton fatigue: the reason for HRC’s loss
May
Share
As good a battle as Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) could give, her candidacy was handicapped from the outset. Despite her overwhelming lead in the polls in 2007, it has been obvious all along that many Democrats and independents were looking for someone, anyone but HRC as a nominee. Why? Clinton fatigue.

Clinton is softening her tone
May
Share
As Hillary Rodham Clinton rolled up a huge victory in Kentucky and lost the Oregon primary to Barack Obama, it is clear that the ‘Kitchen Sink’ strategy is no longer. She is playing much more of a united front with the probable nominee. The blog The Carpetbagger Report sees this as a net [...]
What motivates Hillary? Part 3
May
Share
I have developed a great deal of sympathy for Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) recently. It helps that I’m reading her biography right now. In the last two posts on HRC, I have argued that she is an imminently electable candidate and that she believes she is the best candidate for office. Therefore, she has [...]
What motivates Hillary? Part 2
May
Share
Yesterday, I said that Hillary Rodham Clinton is imminently qualified to be President of the United States. That’s why she is running for office. I believe that she is still running for office in large part because she thinks she is a better candidate than Barack Obama.
I’m not going to runWhen Hillary Clinton was preparing [...]
What motivates Hillary? Part 1
May
Share
So why is Hillary Rodham Clinton in a race she obviously can’t win? Money, VP ticket calculations, kneecapping Obama for 2012, or stubbornness? There are lots of reasons. The first among them is she thinks she is the best candidate and that Obama can’t win a general election. This is a [...]
Hillary Clinton backer backlash
May
Share
The NARAL endorsement of Barack Obama has laid bare the anger and angst of the most fervent of pro-Hillary supporters and demonstrates the depth of emotion now playing out in this Democratic nomination campaign. The internecine war between the two base constituencies of blacks and women is reminiscent of the conflict between the Woman’s and [...]

- “Like gold, U.S. dollars have value only to the extent that they are strictly limited in supply. But the U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost. By increasing the number of U.S. dollars in circulation, or even by credibly threatening to do so, the U.S. government can also reduce the value of a dollar in terms of goods and services, which is equivalent to raising the prices in dollars of those goods and services. We conclude that, under a paper-money system, a determined government can always generate higher spending and hence positive inflation.
Of course, the U.S. government is not going to print money and distribute it willy-nilly (although as we will see later, there are practical policies that approximate this behavior).”
-- Ben Bernanke, National Economists Club, Washington, D.C. November 21, 2002 Federal Reserve
