Oh Hillary, please…
Hillary, do we really look this stupid to you? We’re gonna believe any politician- particularly one named Clinton- when they say they’ll limit their own power? Hillary, please.
Clinton considers giving up some powers
NEW YORK – If elected president in 2008, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton would consider giving up some of the executive powers President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have assumed since taking office.
In an interview published Tuesday in Guardian America, a Web site run by the London-based Guardian newspaper, Clinton denounced the Bush Administration’s push to concentrate more power in the White House as a “power grab” not supported by the Constitution.
Asked if she would consider giving up some of those powers if she were president, Clinton replied, “Oh, absolutely … I mean, that has to be part of the review that I undertake when I get to the White House, and I intend to do that.”</em>
Ha. Believe it when I see it. But this strikes at the core problem with letting Bush skate for his various insults to our country- unless you take the metaphorical head of this country, hold it down until its nose is right in the stench, then nobody is gonna understand how Bush has used the Constitution like a dog uses a rug. Somebody needs to right things, but it sure ain’t gonna be Hillary.
