"Though I lack the art
to decipher it,
no doubt the next chapter
in my book of transformations
I s already written.
I am not done with my changes."
As I listen to the the newscasts and their talk of fires, murders, theatrics in the world of American politics, and terroristic shootings, I find myself annoyed and amused at the manner in which the pundits wink at each other about peoiple's plans for the future. We all know that McCain is too old to run for the American Presidency, and chances are Biden is, too. But when Hillary Clinton says she hasn't got her plans straight for running in 2016 and running the free world from 2017-2021, everybody "winks" .... as if to say ... "We know she's gonna run."
Lets see. Sen. First Lady Clinton will be 66, this year and 69 at the next election. She'd be 68+ and working almost 24-7 during the primary and the general election. If she made two terms, she be 77 when she could start collecting retirement benefits and packing up the White House. Mind you, it's not that I think that's impossible .... but ... "Oh, My aching back."
Brings to mind the whole process of planning 5-10 years ahead in the Last Qurter. I suppose we do it and I suppose there is no other way. But do we live with the presumption that this will go on?
I guess we have no choice.
And still ....
Any case, when Mrs. Clinton says she doesn't know whether she's running, I tend to believe her. Hell! I was running 4-6 miles a day just a coulpe of years back and now running sets me into an arrhythmia ... in a snap.
You go, Girl!

If RR managed it, I don't see what's holding back Hilary. In any case, who do the Republicans have that can beat her. The self-loathing Canuck Cruz, (self-loathing latino) Rubio, Priebus, the youger Bush, Chris Krispie Kremes.
ReplyDeleteI hope that girl does go!
