You do not get to be the President of the United States because your husband slept with Gennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinsky, Elizabeth Ward, Jane Doe number four and propositioned Paula, the state worker, for oral sex. The presidency is not a conciliation; it may be a deal that Hilliary made with Bill but the republic of the United States of America and its citizens DID NOT.
Sleeping with the the President of the United States is not a job qualification for running for the office. The United States is not a small South or Central American junta. Nearness to power for a feminist like Hilliary or myself, both trained at fine New England women's colleges, is not power itself. I know Wellesley College encourages its women to stand on "their" own two feet. Maybe, Hilliary Rodham Clinton was really a disciple of MalcolmX ---"by any means necessary".
More power to you , Mrs. Clinton. Sleeping next to power means --well, --- it means that you slept next to power. It is not experience it is exposure.
