Oh Hillary......we hardly knew thee. Oh how I wish that was true. The truth is we have known Hillary and her husband Bill for quite a while now. And after the defeat at the hands of Barack Obama in the democratic presidential primary, one cannot help but wonder if the American political spectrum is about to be void of the former first couple? Bill gave a hint of the his impending departure from the public eye just before the final state primaries in which the final nail was hammered into his wife Hillary's campaign. But can we assume ol' Bill is telling the truth? I think so. I think Bill has had enough. He has seen his standing and legacy as the democrats best president since Kennedy go up in smoke due to gaffe after gaffe on the campaign trail. No longer are they the "can't do wrong" Clinton's. In fact, I have seen loyal Clinton democrats turn their backs on them as they have fallen under the spell of Obama, and that is something I thought I would never see. Suddenly all the claims and bad discretions of past scandals seem to hold water now to the same people who just about a year ago would have gone to bat for the Clinton's on any issue and fight to the end to honor the Clinton name. Oh, how the times have changed.
It is well that this is the outcome for the Clinton's. Soon we will be rid of them. Bill will continue whatever it is that he does and Hillary will continue on the fake relationship with the state of New York and perhaps seek another term as senator but as national politics are concerned, they are finished. Obama will never ask her to be his VP so I wouldn't be worried about that. But with her loss, the democrats have given the Clinton's a backstabbing send off, worthy of just what they have given the American people.
