Senator Clinton

Hillary has a different definition of leadership than I.

America’s leaders don’t have a vision, and the economy may be on the brink of collapse…

Of course, it has more to do with spending other people’s money than anything else. “The economy may be on the brink of collapse”? Where was she in 1999-2000 when it was obvious to most of us that the bubble had to eventually burst?

My definition of leadership includes taking risks to do what you believe is right. There are a lot of people who warned of dire consequences if we invaded Afghanistan to oust the Taliban who now ignore it. There are a lot of people who warned of hundreds of thousands of deaths and refugees if we invaded Iraq to oust Saddam. Bush risked both–and it was certainly a huge political risk to do both. And both needed to be done. Bush risked, but pols like Hillary don’t want him to get the reward. Neither do Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Byrd, Boxer, and any number of their supporters.

I would really be pleased if just once these folks would praise what Americans have done in both those places without taking a second breath to condemn Bush for something.

Boortz has more.
