Madam President

Some say America isn’t ready yet for a woman president. Others say we are long overdue. Frankly, I do not have reservations about a woman in the Oval Office; as long as she is the right woman. I do not believe Sen. Hillary Clinton is she.
Besides her left-wing politics, I am disturbed by her apparent motive.
Is it any wonder to the thinking person why Hillary and Bill set up residence in New York State, rather than return to the latter’s home state of Arkansas? I think Hillary knew she would not get elected to anything back in Arkansas, and her political ambitions would fade faster than a New York minute.
Furthermore, Arkansas is not exactly the nucleus of socio-political power in Washington, D.C., much less the entire country. To someone like Hillary, the state of Arkansas is akin to a backwater rest-stop on her road trip to the Beltway. She tolerated it long enough to help get her hubby elected President. Then, she was on to bigger and better things. Other than the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Bill’s library, I'm not sure Hillary has been back to Arkansas since she left there in January 1993.
But here is the real reason why Hillary packed her carpetbags for New York: She knew that she could win the Senate seat there. Her political insider friends assured her that the voters of that district would support her. She also understood that if one wants to get on the fast-track to political power in the United States of America, you have to do so either in New York, California or Texas. …Well, she wasn’t going to set foot in Bush country. And California was the territory of her good friends Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein. I guess New York was a no-brainer, then.
Hillary Clinton, I believe, does not have the best interests of the American voter at heart. I think she has her own interests at heart. Why else would she move to New York? Not because she liked the people, but rather she liked what the people there could do for her. That just goes to show how smart the folks in New York State are. They vote in an obvious carpet-bagger whose only interest is to grab a Senate seat so she could further her own political ambitions for the White House. She has totally taken advantage of the people of her district, duping them into thinking that she really wanted to be their Senator. While all along, what she really wanted was to just get her foot in the door.
Hillary timed her move perfectly, too—right after she and Bill left the White House in January 2001. By the time of the 2008 elections, she will have a term and a half of experience in the Senate to rest on her laurels.
So, buyer beware! If you vote for Hillary, just remember that you’ll be feeding the appetite of another power-hungry politician, and giving her what she covets most: More power.
