An Independent Clinton for President?

 

6/3/2006 - Opinion by The Washington Posts Joel Achenbach....Is a bit snide, slight critical, but still manages to do his piece justice and give Senator Clinton the highest compliment a woman can hope to receive....A genderless one....


Senator Clinton would make the best person for President of the United States of America. Umpteen years ago, she was mashed by the political hierarchy for attempting to open the doors to "Universal Health Care," and for just about everything she tried to do.

She didn't just talk about it, she delivered a plan and that was a great spring board for a more polished final plan. But for some reason or other, no one else on the hill was able to think 'Universal' at the time, except for a very few and the President.

Unfortunately, a lot of the mashers were of the same party. Of course the other party wouldn't have wanted anything that could impose rules on their ability to maintain cash flow either, through investments and other perks.

If 'Universal Health Care' had inched seriously into the spotlight for real consideration and sincere re-shaping, the pharmaceutical companies would have had to become accountable and therefore become cost conscious to consumers, by law.

Even though the powers that were, would not have allowed their income and retirement plans to be tampered with, the woman - Hillary Clinton made her mark. She stood up well under extreme scrutiny and inhumane criticism (both professionally and personally).

Senator Clinton is one of the gifted change agents, with the most necessary 'critical thinking skills,' a capacity for visionary ideas, a judicious intellect and a respectful embracer of diversity; cultures, generations, economics, social and commerce.

Senator Clinton seems to have proven, over and over, that connecting the dot takes authentic common sense and that one thing cannot thrive without the other, so you had better be willing to roll up your sleeves and forge ahead - shoulder to shoulder to make it happen for everyone's benefit. That is truly belief in Democracy and the American way.

Mrs. Clinton embodies all the integral attributes that would one day make her a ready leader of our nation. Senator Clinton has been about something. A fearless - Will try - Can do - Leader, that we are ready for.
