The Ugly Truth"
No its not about Clinton or Obama vs. Trump and its not about elections. Its about a
set of leaked emails from Colin Powell that show us the secret of Polichinelle: Hillarys disdain for her boss the former U.S. president Barack Obama.
In a series of e-mail messages between Colin Powell and Jeffrey Leeds his business partner and a top Democratic party donor there are mentions about Clintons hate" about the president who is called that man" and on the other hand about the Obama team not minding too much about Clinton losing the presidential election.
Mission: Impossible"
Back in 2008 it was notorious that Obamas party nomination came as a thing hard to swallow for Hillary who has always seen herself as the Democratic Partys anointed one.
These revelations couldnt have come at a more devastating moment for Clinton who had been fighting in the meantime with:
- the Government through the FBI for the investigation of her personal server;
- the American people half of whom she considers deplorable" who need understanding and empathy"; and
- her own self through her health issues (pneumonia concussions blood clots vision problems fainting etc. etc.).
The truth of the matter is that Hillary considers the people around her ungrateful since they have deprived her of things she is entitled to.
This for a woman who has spent 32 years (a whole generation) in the corridors of power without leaving much behind: 20 years as a first lady (12 years for Arkansas and eight for the US) eight years as a U.S. senator and four years as a U.S. Secretary of State.
All You Need Is Hate Hate Is All You Need
For starters she hates her husband Bill Clinton for cheating on her and putting her in the shameful position of defending herself before the American people with the vast right-wing conspiracy" gimmick (the code name for Bills affairs).
She hates the U.S. Government for putting her in the disgraceful position of being almost criminally charged for her private email server.
She hates the former president Obama (practically an unknown before 2008) for putting her in the inconvenient position of serving under his administration and not vice versa. That was a necessary sacrifice in order to preserve her public presence and avoid her being otherwise doomed for oblivion after losing her partys nomination.
And lets not forget her husbands remarks to Ted Kennedy in the 2008 elections describing his views about Obama this way: A few years ago this guy would have been carrying our bags."
She hates her Democratic Party for its inaptitude (see Debbie Wasserman Schultzs leaked emails) that put her in the humiliating position of having to fight almost until the end of the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries with a socialist septuagenarian Bernie Sanders who was not even a party member until 2015.
And with all her hate against the people in her intimate circles one is worried about her disdain for Donald Trump? You have got to be kidding! The woman hates E-VERY-BO-DY around her. Maybe with the exception of Chelsea. And Huma Abedin.
