Most, if not all past U.S. presidents, and their families, have found the post-presidential years to be variously relaxing, fulfilling, fun, profitable, and stress-free (relatively speaking). Think of our recently retired presidents:
Clinton – globe-trotting speaker in search of six figure appearance fees to pay legal bills and replenish family finances. Also gets him away from Hillary, which comports with their notion of a “business marriage.”
Bush the Elder – spending time with family, parachuting, enjoying life.
Reagan – riding horses, enjoying life.
Carter – building houses, writing books, being a sanctimonious twit, enjoying life.
Ford – hitting people with golf balls, definitely enjoyed life.
Nixon – writing books, legacy repair.
After having what must be the most demanding job on the planet, ex-presidents (and their families) seek refuge wherever and however they can or wish. But not the Clintons. They want more. Why? One reason and one reason only. Power. Shear, unadulterated, unfettered, unadorned power. Bill of course, just wants to party, which comes with the power thing. But Hillary is driven and obsessed by her belief that only she can make decisions and allocate resources in the best interests of all Americans. It’s the same kind of thinking which allows her, for example, to at the end of the Texas debate say she is “honored” to be on stage with BO, and then less than 12 hours later, thrust a stiletto between his shoulder blades. It’s the same sort of thinking which allows Hillary to crow about her “lifetime of experience” (which incidentally consists of being a marginally competent lawyer, and then First Lady) while insinuating that BO has been teaching daycare his whole life, when in fact he has a much longer record of public office holding.
If Hillary is elected president, we will have the closest regime to a dictatorship than anything ever experienced before in the history of the U.S.
