No time to miss the moment of Barack Obama

In a sense, Hillary Clinton has already been given place to govern. She was an active, working architect of a health care policy reform proposal during Bill Clinton's presidency.

This fact, and the number of errors made by the Clinton Administration that haunt us today, will be a shell magnet in the shooting word war of tomorrow's partisan campaign.

Hillary is a partisan attack magnet. Her female gender status will not provide her any cloaking or up-armor her campaign. The GOP candidate will be ruthless, and the electorate can also be ruthless, reading it as killer instinct required to win and defend the Republic as Commander in Chief.

They will ask the nation again and again if Hillary can be a credible Commander in Chief. And Hillary, to be convincing, will be tempted to show here capabilities as a Commander in Chief. Bolstered by the Internationalist Interventionists on the Left, she poses a greater international intervention risk than Obama. For her it is more about the career marks. It is about "clearing" the Clinton legacy by all perceptions. She will get hammered, and the Democrats will be lamenting this for the next several years.

Not that I give a darn about partisan sympathies, considering that they've helped concoct the caustic gridlock of this present stench.

On Lefist interventionalism and its geo-strategic implications, we do not hear enough daring self-criticism from the partisans in the GOP or the Democratic Party. We do not hear it because after this past several years no one wants to claim it. It is why "America Abroad" came grinding to a halt on this blog site. No one wants to think of American abroad. They want to think of America rebuilding itself from within and coming to our senses.
