Hillary the moderate? Get serious

The local talk radio guy is taking calls about Obama's appointments, notably the appointment of Hillary as Secretary of State. This is a nominally conservative show, mind you. The callers are falling all over themselves talking about how this indicates Obama is moving to the center. What planet are these people from? Hillary is, if anything, a harder left true believer than Obama. She cynically voted for the war in Iraq because she was looking toward 2008 even then and figured the war would be a cakewalk. Let me remind one and all of her eye-rolling spectacle in the joint seession of Congress right after 9/11. That's the true Hillary, the one who figured that, somehow some way, we had it coming to us and that all this flag-waving was distinctly unpalatable. Sure, Hillary pretended to be a "moderate" for a few months during the recent campaign. But she's a far left eurosocialist/globalist right down to her bones.

Regarding these appointments, it's also been observed that Obama's top level figurehead appointments may be of the mild mannered unobjectionable sort; his mid level appointments, where the rubber meets the road, will be the matter to watch. And the thinking is, those appointments will be the hard core activists who'll carry out the transformation of this society that Obama has called for repeatedly.

In other words, folks: don't be fooled.

Bill, I agree entirely. Hillary has never been anything but a hard leftist. She's every bit from the Alinsky school as Obama. She's an absolute socialist-elitist.

I also think Obama is being a bit too clever appointing her to his cabinet, but that Hillary is a fool to take it. She wants to be president, not Secretary of State under the guy who beat her. I don't think she can be elected president as an even more haggish 68 year-old. Imagine that shrill, cackling, scoldidng voice. And how could she run against the Messiah in 2012? She'd have to have a vested interest in his failure. And the drones would hate her for opposing their annointed savior. Secretary of State is a nice feather in her cap; but how many Secretaries of State have gone on to become president lately?

I heard a guy of Fox News the other day saying that he was surprised Obama has tacked so far to right as to appoint Hillary. First time I had ever heard the word "right" and the word "Hillary" in the same sentence.

These phony celebrity pundits are turning our political discourse into some kind of Stalinist Alice-in-Wonderland. It is getting harder and harder to discover the truth in our sick media. I can't stomach Fox News anymore, and I'm losing patience with the Wall Street Journal, as well.

Actually, I think the guy was a self-proclaimed left-winger who was complaining about Obama going after so many Clintonistas (sp?).
