We all know that the mainstream media are, for the most part, partisan hacks who are actively working to advance the interests of the Democrat Party and especially Hillary Clinton. However the bizarre spectacle of so-called journalists going into raptures over Mrs. Bill Clinton's "handling" of yesterday's hostage situation at one of her campaign's offices (Mrs. Clinton was several states away from the incident) has taken even me by surprise.
You can read American Thinker's commentary here.
Mrs. Clinton took no part in the resolution of the crisis. She was, as I said earlier, not even in the same state. She sat on the sidelines and, by her own admission felt, ". . . a horrible sense of bewilderment, confusion, outrage, frustration, anger, everything at the same time." This falling apart (can you think of a better term for it?) was based (again in her own words) on the fact that she was a "mother".
Ann Althouse asks a good question "Is that what you want in a President? Someone who feels extra confusion because she's a mother?"
Mrs. Clinton canceled all of her appearances for the day, as she had to do in order to avoid looking like a cold and unfeeling drone. And she made a great many useless phone calls to various law enforcement agencies.
Is this what we want in a president, someone who is unable to stand back and let the professionals deal with a situation? Would a second Clinton co-presidency be like the Carter White House in which the president got personally involved with assigning time slots for the White House tennis court? Or worse like the Johnson White House where the president personally decided which North Vietnamese bridge or warehouse the Air Force or Navy would be allowed to bomb?
If yesterday's incident tells us anything about Mrs. Bill Clinton's qualifications to be president it is only that she shouldn't be allowed any closer to the Oval Office than the guided tour.
