Hillary has left New York to make her first appearance in Iowa, the state that rejected her in 2008 and relegated her to third place (behind Obama and Edwards) in the first Democratic caucus. She chose to go by bus rather than by jet, so as not to seem ridiculous from the outset. In her campaign launch video, released last Sunday, she said she is a normal American who wants to be the champion of everyday people – and everyday Americans don’t have private jets. They take the highway, stop for gas, and eat in fast food joints. She is always ridiculous (the hypocrisy here is obvious: she has federal agents as drivers and escorts, waiting on her as befits the former first lady and former secretary of state), yet this excessive populist pauperism is not obvious to everyone, and the Democrats have learned to make an art of it – like Obama and his “class redistribution” and “social justice” by way of taxes and welfare.

In the end, people lap up most, if not all of it, and it is the proclaimer of proclamations that wins, even if those proclamations are horribly false and misleading. Speaking of which, the latest news of “these shameless liberals,” which had me splitting my sides laughing today, concerns an old Obamian proclamation of great success. You will all remember Obama’s campaign against Mitt Romney, based on the GOP candidate being a financial speculator who co-founded the private equity firm Bain Capital and got rich at the expense of its fired workers? Well, hired to run a division of the very same Bain Capital, says The Wall Street Journal, is Deval Patrick. The former governor of Massachusetts (his term in office ended last January) is not just a Democrat but a close African-American friend of Barack Obama, who used phrases from his friend’s inaugural speech (made upon election as governor in 2006) for a victory rally speech in 2008. Now, Patrick has a well-paid position at Bain, a company created by rival Romney. The nerve!

How can we be surprised, then, when Hillary – a millionaire – tries to don the rags of a “normal” woman? She tries, but she’ll have to do better and then some if she wants to win over today’s unionized and filo-communist crowds, spreading like a disease through the party that used to belong to John F. Kennedy. JFK was part of a dynasty of millionaires that Clinton could only dream of, but he represented a postwar America that still hungered to establish itself in the world with a capitalist plan: cut taxes to favor the country’s economic growth, while respecting the Constitution that protects individual freedoms.

Now, however, the Working Families Party is becoming an ever-increasing political weight on the dirigistic, tax-and-spend supporting Democratic Party. It is so influential in New York, for example, that its “puppet,” de Blasio, (a description uttered by Clinton’s people) has refused to endorse Hillary’s presidential bid. The mayor was even sworn in by Bill Clinton when elected 15 months ago – that’s how tight the relationship between the two families was. Now, he has responded saying, “No, not until I see ... an actual vision of where she wants to go” – a slap in the face that marks the strong tensions between the Democrats.

Naturally, Clinton will not have a problem saying everything she needs to, to get the Democratic nomination if, in the months to come, a rival “champion” like Warren takes to the field, or whoever else has the support of public sector unions, the WFP, de Blasio, George Soros and the other Wall Street and Hollywood billionaires “united” by Ms. Liberal of Political Correctness. With the army of advisers she will be able to afford, thanks to a record-breaking collection of $2.5 billion her people claim they can source (doubling Obama’s), Clinton will surely have speechwriters who can cater to her needs. Her problem – and here we see why she has created a strategy whereby she only faces exchanges with small, preselected audiences and very few free meetings with the press – is that when flying solo, she only creates disasters. She is worse than Michelle Obama, who was told to shut up in 2008 by Obama’s staff, after saying, “for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country” because her husband was winning the primaries.

Hillary does not have the charisma, or even a tenth of the political oratory skills of her husband. The collection of blunders already let slip by the former secretary of state is a full one, and the latest “gaffe” slipped out just as she was venturing into anti-capitalist terrain. In a rally about six months ago, she wanted to show she could behave like Warren: “Don’t let anybody tell you that, you know, it's corporations and businesses that create jobs," she said before a public ally. No, Hillary, we all know corporations are only good for paying upwards of $300,000 to hear a speech from you or your husband and for pouring millions of dollars into the Clinton Global Initiative, despite the conflicting interest.


Hillary ha lasciato New York per la sua prima apparizione in Iowa, lo stato che la boccio’ nel 2008 relegandola terza nel primo “caucus” democratico, dietro Obama e Edwards. Ha scelto di andarci con un pulmino, invece che in jet, per non apparire ridicola fin dall’esordio: nel video del lancio di domenica scorsa ha detto di essere un’americana normale, che vuole essere un campione per la gente comune contro l’1%, e gli americani normali non dispongono di aereo privato, prendono l’autostrada e si fermano a fare benzina e a mangiare nei fast food. E’ sempre ridicolo, perche’ e’ ovvia l’ipocrisia di avere come autista e scorta gli agenti federali dei servizi segreti che le spettano come ex First Lady ed ex Segretaria di Stato, ma il populismo pauperista smaccato non e’ smaccato ed evidente per tutti, e i Democratici hanno imparato a farne un’arte con Obama, quello della redistribuzione classista e della “giustizia sociale” a colpi di tasse e di welfare.

Alla fine la gente beve tanto, se non tutto, e premia chi proclama proclami, anche quando sono volgarmente falsi e strumentali. A proposito, la notizia della serie “i liberal questi spudorati” che mi ha fatto spanciare oggi riguarda proprio un vecchio proclama obamiano di estremo successo: vi ricordate la campagna di Barack contro Mitt Rommey basata sul fatto che il candidato del GOP era un finanziere speculatore perche’ aveva co-fondato la societa’ di private equity Bain Capital, e si era arricchito a danno degli operai licenziati? Bene, per dirigere una divisione di quella stessa Bain Capital, scrive il Wall Street Journal, e’ stato assunto Deval Patrick. Ex governatore del Massachusetts il cui mandato e’ finito lo scorso gennaio, Patrick non e’ solo un democratico, ma e’ un afro-american intimo di Barack Obama, che uso’ frasi del discorso di insediamento dell’amico quale neo-governatore nel 2006 per il comizio della vittoria nel 2008. Ora, per un posto ben pagato, ecco Patrick approdare alla Bain, la creatura dell’avversario Romney. Quando si dice la coerenza e la faccia tosta.

Come stupirsi quindi se ora Hillary, miliardaria, cerca di vestire i panni della donna del popolo? Cerca, ma dovra’ fare di meglio e di piu’ se vuole tirare dalla sua le odierne schiere sindacali e filo-comuniste che stanno espandendosi come una metastasi nel partito che fu di John Fitzgerald Kennedy. JFK era di una dinastia di miliardari che i Clinton ancora se la sognano, ma rappresentava un’America postbellica che aveva ancora fame di affermarsi nel mondo seguendo la ricetta capitalistica: tagliare le tasse per favorire la crescita economica del paese rispettando la costituzione che protegge le liberta’ individuali.

Adesso invece ha un peso politico sempre maggiore nel partito DEM l’ala del WFP (il Working Families Party, Partito delle Famiglie dei Lavoratori), dirigista e tassa & spendi. E’ tanto influente che a New York, per esempio, la sua “marionetta” de Blasio (la definizione e’ del clan dei Clinton) si e’ rifiutato di appoggiare Hillary nella sua corsa. All’annuncio, il sindaco che pure aveva giurato alla sua elezione di 15 mesi fa nelle mani di Bill Clinton, tanto stretti erano i rapporti delle due famiglie, ha risposto “no, devo prima vedere quale linea politica offrira’”: uno schiaffo che marca le attuali forti divisioni tra i DEM.

Naturalmente non sara’ un problema per la Clinton dire tutto cio’ che le servira’ per ottenere la nomination Democratica, se nei prossimi mesi scendera’ in campo un “campione” concorrente tipo la Warren. O chiunque altro sia sostenuto dai sindacati del settore pubblico, dal WFP, da de Blasio, da George Soros e dagli altri miliardari di Wall Street o di Hollywood “unti” dal Signore Liberal della Correttezza Politica. Con l’esercito di consulenti che potra’ permettersi grazie alla raccolta-record di 2,5 miliardi di dollari di finanziamenti che il suo clan si propone di raggiungere, raddoppiando il livello di Obama, la Clinton avra’ sicuramente gli speech writers adatti alla bisogna. Il problema suo – ecco perche’ ha organizzato una strategia che prevede solo scambi con intime audience preselezionate e minimi incontri liberi con la stampa – e’ che lei, lasciata libera, puo’ solo fare disastri. Peggio di Michelle Obama che nel 2008 fu zittita dallo staff di Obama dopo aver detto “solo oggi sono orgogliosa di questo Paese, perche’ mio marito sta vincendo le primarie”.

Hillary non ha il carisma, e neppure un decimo delle qualita’ oratorio-politiche del marito. La collezione delle gaffe gia’ pronunciate dall’ex segretario di Stato e’ ricca, e l’ultima “stupidata” le e’ scappata proprio avventurandosi nel terreno dell’anticapitalismo, quando in un comizio di sei mesi fa circa ha voluto far vedere che sa comportarsi da Warren : “Non permettete a nessuno di dirvi che sono le corporation e i business a creare posti di lavoro”, proclamo’ in un convegno davanti a un pubblico amico. No, Hillary, tutti sappiamo che le corporation sono buone solo per pagare da 300 mila dollari in su per sentire un discorso tuo o di tuo marito, e per versare finanziamenti milionari alla Clinton Global Foundation in spregio al conflitto d’interesse.

  1. It will be impossible for Harpy Hillary to sell herself to the politically literate individuals of the American working class. But I notice both Hillary and more ” radical ” Senator Warren fancy themselves champions of the ” struggling middle class “. You rarely hear an intelligent clarification of ” middle class “. The American ruling class want you to think that if you are not jobless, starving, and homeless in America, and have a spark of ambition in life, you are CERTIFIED MIDDLE CLASS.
    Whole books have been written by dedicated socialists on this lack of class consciousness here -even when we are told all about the ONE PERCENT in the capitalist press.
