I was thinking the other day about political baggage. You know, we’ve got this primary coming up, here in Pennsylvania. I really like both Hillary and Barack for different reasons. I have been trying to find something that will help me make up my mind, between them. It has occurred to me that with experience comes baggage, and maybe we could do with a little less of that. My mind wandered back to the Clinton Whitehouse years, and a few of the scandals that went on. Now you can’t really paint Hillary with the Monica Lewinsky scandal per say. Some folks will try to take her on for her actions in the wake of that scandal, but I don’t feel vitriolic enough to go there.
Does anyone remember whitewater though? I know nothing really stuck to the Clintons too hard on that one, but both of them were implicated. Surely some of the implications were spun by their opposition. But I would be easily convinced that there was something shady going on there, and that the Clintons have some of it on them as well.
Then the other day I finally got around to watching Fahrenheit 9/11. Talk about your baggage. A dynastic family with WAY too many business interests to possibly run the country without phenomenal conflict of interest. So, though I like some of what Hillary has to say, I wonder whom she is beholden too, and am a little leery.
Plus, I really liked Obama’s “A More Perfect Union” speech.. I guess I’m leaning his way currently. We’ll see how this ends up.
