We Thought Mrs. Hillary Clinton was Smart

Amos Ajo

Perception in Politics is reality. Mrs. Clinton since the start of her campaign was successful in making us believe that she was invincible. She sat on a special chair in her mansion with an appearance of a Queen. She went as far as boosting that she was running to win. Everybody perceived her to be invincible. All the old American politicians eager to get employed after several years of unemployment started throwing their support on her. A group of Black Clergy men with small store front churches in South Carolina gathered and endorsed her. Everything was going well. Questions that she knew the answers were planted during her questions and answer sessions. She did so well and we all started to buy into the idea that she was really good. She was INVINCIBLE until someone allowed the god out.....the whole world discovered that she was not that good. She was after all not invincible.

During the whole process everybody started telling Mrs. Clinton that she was smart. Every Congressman and every presidential candidate has been forced to rehearse that Mrs. Clinton is a smart woman. Unfortunately she was not scripted and was on her own and made one of the most revealing secret that she is neither invincible nor smart. Read the major press release by Mrs. Clinton and guess how smart she is on the scale of one to ten. If your answer is one you are correct……

Here's a press release the Clinton campaign issued Sunday:
SEN. OBAMA REWRITES HISTORY,
CLAIMS HE HASN’T BEEN PLANNING WHITE HOUSE RUN

Today in Iowa, Senator Barack Obama said: "I have not been planning to run for President for however number of years some of the other candidates have been planning for.”

Oh really?

“Senator Obama’s comment today is fundamentally at odds with what his teachers, family, classmates and staff have said about his plans to run for President,” Clinton spokesperson Phil Singer said. “Senator Obama’s campaign rhetoric is getting in the way of his reality.”

Immediately after joining the Senate, Senator Obama started planning run for President. "'The first order of business for Senator Obama's team was charting a course for his first two years in the Senate. The game plan was to send Senator Obama into the 2007-2008 election cycle in the strongest form possible'...The final act of the plan was turning up the talk about a potential Presidential bid, which was greatly aided by his positive press and suggestions by pundits that he run for President."

His law school classmates say that Senator Obama has been planning Presidential run for 'more than a decade.' [A]ccording to those who know him, he has been talking about the presidency for more than a decade. "It was clear to me from the day I met him that he was thinking about politics," says Harvard Law School classmate Christine Spurell. [Washington Post, 8/12/07 ]

15 years ago, Senator Obama told his brother-in-law he was planning to run for President. Craig [Robinson] pulled him aside [in 1992] and asked about his plans. "He said, 'I think I'd like to teach at some point in time, and maybe run for public office,' recalls Robinson, who assumed Senator Obama meant he'd like to run for city alderman. "He said no -- at some point he'd like to run for the U.S. Senate. And then he said, 'Possibly even run for President at some point.' And I was like, 'Okay, but don't say that to my Aunt Gracie.' I was protecting him from saying something that might embarrass him." [Washington Post, 8/12/07 ]
