Hillary is the man! Period.

Two pieces. Read them. Then speak again.

(from World According to ...Lynn Forester de Rothschild (Interview))

L.G.: Let me ask you, when your fellow capitalists come to you and express worries and fears about what Hillary Clinton will do in terms of raising taxes on capital gains and hedge fund operators, and income taxes, what do you tell them to reassure them that Hillary will be good for business?

L.R.: First of all, Hillary will be good for America. And so if we care about our country —which all of my fellow capitalists do —we'll be very pleased that she's president. And second of all, if we look at what is best for the economy, remember, she is a Clinton, and our economy under Clinton was strong, dynamic, productive, exciting. And the same kinds of people who advised Bill Clinton will be around Hillary Clinton. And she understands the importance of the business community, and it's not going to be about raising taxes or doing any one specific thing. It's going to be, What is in the best interest of all Americans? And I think if history is our guide, we've had stronger economies, more wealth creation, under Democratic presidents than we have under Republican presidents. So I don't understand why all my capitalist friends aren't Democrats.

L.G.: Really? Are they buying this argument, Lynn?

L.R.: Well, you know, it's funny. As people are getting a better and better look at Hillary, they're understanding that Hillary is talking in a way that is so positive for America. We can think we live in elite circles, but we don't. I mean, America is about Main Street, and Main Street is coming around to Hillary. And Wall Street and the C.E.O.'s can't buck that tide, and if they think they have some vested interest in their tax rate, those are a very limited number of people who think only about that.

L.G.: By the way, you may also have seen that Hillary reported an eye-popping $27 million raised in the third quarter, which was beyond expectations and far and away the most of anybody. How much of that can we credit you with?

L.R.: [Laughs.] I am—full disclosure—I'm always doing everything I possibly can for Hillary Clinton.

L.G.: Have you made a dollar commitment to the campaign? Have you said, "I'll raise a million bucks" or something like that?

L.R.: I don't really do that. I do everything that I can, and I have been waiting for this since Bill Clinton left office, frankly.

Bush Predicts Hillary For Left Hand Puppet

President Bush has declared that Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination, with the White House also declaring Barak Obama to be "condescending" and "intellectually lazy".

The pseudo endorsement comes, according to the AP, in a new book by author Bill Sammon entitled Evangelical President set for release Monday.

“She's got a national presence and this is becoming a national primary,” Bush says “And therefore the person with the national presence, who has got the ability to raise enough money to sustain an effort in a multiplicity of sites, has got a good chance to be nominated.”

Bush stopped sort of saying Hillary would win the election however stating:

“I think our candidate can beat her, but it's going to be a tough race... I will work to see to it that a Republican wins, and therefore don't accept the premise that a Democrat will win. I truly think the Republicans will hold the White House.”

The President's pick of Hillary for nominee is not surprising given that she has supported every major Bush policy with as much if not more zeal.
