“I’m ready for Hillary,” read the bumper stickers in fashionable Georgetown, the swankIest part of Washington, D.C. These messages are juxtaposed with many a tattered “2012” bumper sticker with the fading Obama logo. Are these plugged-in liberals telling us their dream has faded, too? The never-quite-retiring Barbara Walters spoke to their disillusion when she wistfully sighed: “We thought he was going to be the new Messiah.”
So, buoyed by public opinion polls showing her the most popular politician in America, Hillary Clinton launched her latest “listening tour” with a new book. It was supposed to be a non-campaign rollout. But it turned out not so promisingly.
Liberal journalists have panned her performance on the stage. Her first stumble was in announcing to Diane Sawyer that she and Bill had left the White House in 2001 “dead broke.” She tried to gain sympathy and show empathy through poor-mouthing. Not since Mitt Romney announced he “likes firing people” in the midst of 10% unemployment has a supposedly serious politician so badly gauged the popular mood. Hillary was hit with unfavorable stories recalling the fact that she left the Executive Mansion with a paltry $8 million book advance. And Poor Boy Bill would soon snag another $15 million for his book. Then, of course, there were the speeches, lots of speeches, at $200,000 a pop.
Determined not to let her role in the Benghazi affair dominate her “rollout,” the former Secretary of State went to what she presumed would be friendly interviewers. But she had to “walk back” her poor little rich girl comments to Diane Sawyer. That’s never a good thing when you are supposed to show mastery and competence. That stumble prompted a spate of stories about how rusty she was on the hustings.

Hillary and ‘jugger’ should NOT BE IN THE SAME SENTENCE..................
I think they want to lose the next presidency so they can pin Obamas fallout on us when it all collapses.
No one in their right mind would put a candidate out so early so that the opposition has years to dig dirt on them for 2 years.
I saw some idiot up here in NY with one their bumper in the OutBack parking lot last night.
she is sucking up the donations at the expense of other candidates.
It is all about $$$$$$.
The homosexual logos are the new swastika.
What is Obama doing all the fund raisers for?
She is currently wrong on sodomy.
She is currently wrong on sodomy.
She’s just wrong PERIOD!
Hillary aint just wrong for America,
she’s ANATHEMA!
Seriously. And the stories about Hillary yuckin’ it up about defending a child rapist, getting him off the hook, and calling the 12-year-old mentally unstable, are just starting to come out. Talk about your war on women! Compare that to the hell George Will received over a story intended to start a debate about the reporting of rape statistics. Need to somehow get this story to Drudge and others - blast it everywhere.
