Empress Hillary

Yes, I am a harsh critic of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.). Yes, there are many who would love to see her out of the race today. However, let us back up and look at it from her perspective.

Whether we admit it or not, she has done a pretty good job of making Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) human in showing that he does bleed. Mrs. Clinton and her cadre of by-any-means-necessary inner-circlers believe that the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is not going away any time soon. This writer will admit that it was a colossal mistake for Sen. Obama not to fully disassociate himself from this wayward minister, remove himself as a member of the church and disavow him once and for all.

What we don’t know is what else these Clintons have dug up on Obama that convinces them he will implode. You see, America, in order for Mrs. Clinton to have a snowball’s chance of winning this nomination, she has to come up with the goods that will be nothing short of causing Obama to serve jail time.

What is it that the Clinton camp knows and is circulating throughout the elite media that could just devastate Barack Obama (stay tuned, it’s coming) to the point where Clinton will be a shoo-in for the nomination? Are the Clintons convinced that if they’re able to torpedo his campaign, Democrats will be able to unite and elect her in November?

This columnist thinks that the Clintons are so blinded by a sense of entitlement, power, arrogance and selfishness that their political navigation system lost its direction long ago. However, it is clear her strategy will destroy what little credibility she has left, weaken Sen. Obama beyond recovery, implode the Democratic Party in the process and assure Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) that he is a shoo-in for president this November.

Given how politically astute and seasoned the Clintons are, why does it appear they’ve taken such a diabolical and destructive course? I assure you, we may not understand it, but they know exactly what they’re doing. Again, stay tuned.
