On Thursday morning March 12th, Smirking Chimp's blogger Ted Rall wrote
an article titled, "Her Bad! Again, Hillary Reveals Her Terrible Judgement." Rall informs the reader of Hillary Clinton's many
indiscretions, her poor judgement, and poor political decision making.
He doesn't think highly of Clinton or her political decisions. The
author wants to inform the public about Hillary Clinton because of the possibility of her running in the next
presidential election. He stated, " ..Whether a person with such bad
judgment should be trusted with nuclear launch codes at 3 am." He makes a
valid point in his article.
As Secretary of State in 2009 she
opted to use a private email account with her personal one and not use
an official .gov one issued by the State Department. There have been
many scandals with government officials deleting emails, partaking in
illegal activities and there was a regulation that required government
employees to keep their all of their emails. Clinton had made a
statement that she "doesn't want her personal emails made public"
however the author under covers the irony of her statement. She voted
for the USA Patriot Act, which authorized the NSA to intercept
everyone's phone calls, emails and everything else.
She was one
of the many senators who voted with Bush to invade Iraq even though, she
was one of six senators that had read a secret 96 page National
Intelligence on Saddam Hussein's Weapons of Mass Destruction programs.
It was clear there was no solid evidence of Weapons of Mass Destruction
and yet, they still invaded Iraq. "I thought I had acted in good faith
and made the est decision I could with the information i had.. And I
wasn't alone in getting it wrong. But I still got it wrong."
I agree with Rall and his point. It
makes me, as a future voter and as a concerned citizen question if
she's qualified to be the next president. I think Rall did a great job
informing the public in an easy to read article.
