I just don't like Hillary Clinton, I admit. What I don't like about her is the same thing that I don't like about the Wall Street companies that are taking bail out money and giving multi-billion dollar Christmas bonuses to the same guys that threatened to take down the economy, or the average Americans who have 13 credit cards and expect to be bailed out with their own bankruptcies.
She has got a huge sense of entitlement, she is owed whatever she wants, most recently being made President, and a huge sense of greed to go along with it. I don't mean greed for money, although she and her husband have that too, but greed for getting her way, getting what she wants when she wants it in the way she wants it. And if she doesn't, well she is entitled to tell any falsehood, slam any person in any way she wants to get her way. That is greed too, a type of greed.
This is what justifies a lot of her mean behavior, a lot of the ugly stuff said about Obama during the primaries, and the way she used her gender to attack the media as sexist against her. I don't buy it, I know a lot of women do, but women can get criticized without it being sexist. Any criticism of Hillary became sexism, funny how that never seems to happen with other women in politics like Barbara Boxer or Dianne Feinstein.
Remember the blogger list that ended up over 100 things the media did to her that were “sexist.” Lipstick on a pig, her phony laugh, god I don't even want to rehash all this stuff again, but there is no doubt that there is a constant aura of victimhood around her whenever she is center stage and gets criticized, and to me that adds up to a person who lacks strength of character. She may be smart and powerful, but she is also small when it comes to personal character. She can't hold a candle to Condoleeza Rice on any level.
She has a way of creating tension and divisiveness around herself, and I don't think that we need that in the Secretary of State position. One has to wonder why Obama wants to pick her, because there are plenty around better qualified. And Democrats, be aware, the Republicans are surprisingly supportive of her in this job. There is a reason, and it isn't because they just love her so. They know her capacity for screw ups, and her capacity for bringing out the worst in feminists.
That, I suspect, is what they are looking forward to, not what a great job she will do.
