Making of a President

As most know that read my blog, I refrain from political postings most of the time. Thanks in part to other bloggers, such as Sean. I've been reading quite a few reports, and articles concerning a certain Senator from New York.

We all know who she is. Her face is as more well known than her husband's these days. She will be up for re-election in 2006 for her Senate seat in New York, and most agree this is another stepping stone to the White House, where she once resided.
When comments were first made back when her husband was President, about her doing a better job than her husband, most people scoffed at the idea. When she ran for Senator, again people scoffed. When she won, the scoffing died down. Now she is a voice to be reckoned with, and what she has to say has a great deal of merit. She is now working towards Election Reform and joining forces with other Dems as they push for an Election Day Holiday. Something that should have been done prior to the last election.

And according to one article, A President Hillary is not as crazy as it once seemed. Where the writer states "... Most Democrats agree that Bill Clinton was the best thing to happen to their party in a generation. His wife may now be the best thing to happen to the next. "

Personally I believe the woman to be extremely intelligent, driven, charming, and one of the strongest political powers in Washington. In other words, the making a great leader. Yes, even President.

I remember in grade school (that was back in the 60's) that one of my teachers, Mrs. Goodner told us that one day there would be a female President, but not in our lifetime. I now believe that Mrs. Goodner was wrong. Maybe not in her lifetime (as she past about 8 years ago) but it will certianly happen in mine. And I see no better person, male or female currently in the Democratic Party that could capture back the White House than Mrs. Clinton.

Ms. Clinton is postioning herself and working tirelessly for the State of New York. At the same time winning and influencing people on both sides of the Senate. She is becoming a strong Bipartisian leader, while still maintaining her Democratic ideals and values. She is heading for the top spot, even though she has not officially said so. She has plans to regain her residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And this time, not as the First Lady, but as THE Lady.

Many still laugh it off, and scoff at the idea. Meanwhile she will be laughing all the way to the highest office in the land and up those steps of the Capitol to stand at the podium to defend the Constitution of the United States. She would have my vote, and my respect. Keep on eye on her, and the events in Washington as it unfolds.

We are seeing history being made. In our lifetime.

Gentlemen, step aside and make way for Madame President.
